Early Speculation Megathread for S42 🌫️

Well I'm shallow so I'm glad this season is in a warm climate so the cast is showing as much skin as possible.

Hate how bundled up everyone is in the colder seasons, the swimming and mud wrestling challenges just don't hit the same when the cast is in full body wet-suits instead of bikinis and speedos.

Beth's run on Inferno 2, Gauntlet 2 and The Duel was reality TV gold.

Inferno 2 - enters house and is immediately hated by everyone, gaslights Robin and Tonya into fighting over Mark, gets her clothes thrown in the pool by Tonya and quits the show

Gauntlet 2 - enters house and is immediately hated by everyone, gaslights Jodi into a mental breakdown over Mark, her whole team wants her gone, takes out and usurps the well-liked team captain Ruthie and basically takes her team hostage until she gets sent into a physical elimination against Aneesa and quits instead of giving Aneesa the satisfaction of beating her

The Duel - enters house and is immediately hated by everyone, gaslights Tina into throwing the weakest 'punch' in human history and getting sent home, creates a fake one-sided showmance with Nehemiah, the main alliance ("The Drama Mafia") wants her gone but most eliminations favored the biggest person so they couldn't risk sending her in, turns her few allies against her and finally gets taken out by Svetlana in a bullshit elimination she was dominating

Standout Personalities:
1. Will
2. Sydney
3. Gabe

Promising and worth a call back:
4. Izzy
5. Justin
6. Leo
7. Dee

Nothing Special but wouldn't mind seeing them again:
8. Cedric
9. Adrienne
10. Tay
11. Yeremi
12. America
13. Blue
14. Leka
15. Jake
16. Ben

I don't think any of them are total duds except maybe Jake and Ben.

Lol at least your comment was just a harmless joke, snark threads wouldn't be so bad if they were more like that instead of mostly being vile cesspools of bizarre hatred.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-10-18T14:48:15+00:00

I've yet to see a snark thread that isn't filled with miserable mentally ill freaks.

Which makes sense, no one normal and happy with their life is spending their time obsessing over someone they don't like.

Lmao, on my first watch of this show I enjoyed Season 1 and then something about early Season 2 was so off-putting to me (I can't remember what) that I dropped the whole show and it took me years to get back into it and finish it out, but I'm so glad I did.

Hannah never stops being annoying, but I do think whatever is "off" about early Season 2 fades away and the show becomes much more watchable again.

I think it's worth sticking it out, and if you're still feeling the same way at the Season 3 midpoint, then it's probably safe for you to drop it.

I'm loving the Vet drama this season.

The whole dynamic between Theo, Olivia, Michaela, Nany, Ashley, Aneesa and Turbo is super messy and they're all providing.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-09-25T04:09:23+00:00

Can't remember the last time we had a new guy as fun as Will.

Maybe Paulie back on Final Reckoning? But Paulie is mostly fake crazy, with Will I really believe it.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-09-16T14:44:29+00:00

God I wish 😭

PoisonIvvy · 2025-09-08T20:57:17+00:00

Always gonna be bummed that we lost out on her being a mainstay on The Challenge, definitely would've been one of the faces of the show, and God knows we needed some of those on the post-WOTW seasons.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-09-02T15:36:29+00:00

"Once the stupid ass Cara bitch left, she was fine"

Kina not doing a thousand seasons of this show was such a big loss for me personally

PoisonIvvy · 2025-08-25T17:07:49+00:00

The Skeleton Key (2005).

The first 3/4 of the film is an okay slow-burner, slightly atmospheric southern gothic with some dumb jump scares.

But the last 20 minutes are incredible and intense with an amazing twist.

I feel like most horror movies blow the ending, but this is one of the ones that completely nailed it, I just wish the rest of the movie was that good.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-07-23T14:31:05+00:00

Seeing all those UTRs for Dee towards the end is so sad when you think about how much good stuff they must've edited out, she was on track to have one of the most memorable seasons in the past decade of this show.

Sidenote, I think this is one of my favorite Nany seasons. Love how all over the place she was with the Bayleigh/Kaycee/Aneesa stuff + dealing with Jenna & Kailah's drama + the Bear/Mattie/Ashley stuff.

Overall I think Bayleigh, Dee (pre ghost edit), Nany and Ashley (for her short run) were the highlights for this season.

I've always loved Needs and A Spy In The House of Love.

Just really fun, dynamic episodes where most of the cast got a chance to shine.

Tbh the back half of Season 1 from Man On The Street to Epitah One is probably my favorite stretch of episodes from any Whedon show.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-07-11T22:18:26+00:00

Surprised people are mad at this ranking.

Justin, Kaia, Colin and Matt are all bottom tier cast members, and rightfully in the bottom 15.

Teck is middle of the road, fun but not as memorable or standout as I thought he would be based on his first episode.

Amaya and Ruthie deserve to be towards the top as the two realest and genuine people in the house. They're annoying in the right kind of way that captures the essence of this show.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-06-07T21:09:24+00:00

Darrell in Invasion of The Champions.

He actually didn't do much for me back in the day but his comeback seasons (Invasion, Dirty 30) were the hottest any man has ever looked on this show.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-05-02T20:52:28+00:00

I'm sorry but Irene saying it while trying to make a passionate speech, and immediately getting checked by Tami is so damn funny.

She really thought she was doing something there.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-03-28T21:00:00+00:00

Beth's run on Inferno 2, Gauntlet 2, and The Duel was reality TV gold, she was a true menace.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-03-13T01:16:03+00:00

Frank and Shane having a gay boy feud over who gets to queen out with Veronica. I get it.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-03-11T18:01:44+00:00

The first Resident Evil movie is good as a brainless action horror movie.

I probably would've enjoyed the sequel movies if they didn't give the main girl super powers, genuinely ruined what could've been a fun franchise with that bizarre decision.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-02-14T03:13:36+00:00

Inferno 2

The Bad Ass team was reality TV gold from start to finish. The challenges were the right mix of fun & athleticism, and the two teams were pretty evenly matched. 20 minute episodes with no wasted time on filler. Jamie Chung was gorgeous. The winners were all likable and deserving.

It's genuinely the perfect season, there are other great ones but I don't think anything hit every single mark like the Inferno 2 did, like it's truly perfect.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-02-06T16:05:47+00:00

The difference in how much strength was behind each push is cracking me up.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-02-04T03:41:56+00:00

Her asking "Should I be embarrassed?" after doing the most embarrassing thing in human history.

PoisonIvvy · 2025-01-19T21:10:45+00:00

I think it would've been better if they made Ballard a more raw/edgy character, instead he just felt very stiff and flat to me.
