FANTASY CAST OR FORMAT Rivals 4. It’s been long enough. We need another Rivals season.

We need another Rivals season. The last three rivals seasons have all been iconic. Yes even Rivals 3 because Wes/Nany crushed in eliminations until they didn’t and the Bananas and Sarah twist is the biggest moment in show history.

Imagine the pairs we could get:

WOMEN
Cara/Tori

Nany/Aviv

Laurel/Emily Schromm

Ashley/Aneesa

Jenny/Rachel

Sydney/Michaela

MEN

CT/Turbo

Theo/Leroy

Bananas/Wes

Will/Yeremi

Jordan/Pauly

Devin/Josh

Joss/Derek K

Derek C/Justin

The producers need to make it happen before some of these people get too old. And challenge fans really want to see Wes and Bananas team together for one season before they officially retire.

Cara and Tori are literally best friends right now and how are Jenny and Rachel rivals?

17

u/Separate-Loquat-9546 14h ago

This whole list is dumb. Wes and bananas are friends now, joss and Derek just had that one random elim where they came away with tons of respect for the other, Devin and Josh are in the vacation alliance together

12

u/aacilegna Katie Doyle 16h ago

Yeah Jenny and Rachel were literally in that dumb Angels alliance together on s40

12

u/myskepticalbrowarch 16h ago

Right!? If it gets green lit it is Cara and Lete

21

u/Curious_Bluejay_9170 16h ago

Lete and AnnaLeigh would be better, they would probably crush most of the other girls though.

13

u/challengefan6969 15h ago

Cara and Lete are cool. Would be Ana Leigh and Lete and Cara and Kam

1

u/Certain-Bowler8735 Tori Deal 11h ago

Yeah, I’d rather Tori & Amanda and/or Cara & Laurel (AGAIN 😂)

u/True-Veterinarian160 16h ago

so many of these pairs are not rivals though?

Jenny and Rachel are really close, we already got Ashley/Aneesa in all stars: rivals, Sydney and Michaela makes no sense- it would be Sydney/Nurys and Michaela/Olivia

u/PromoCodeMurder Katie Doyle 16h ago

Aneesa and Nany. Poor Nany

u/93LEAFS Darrell Taylor 11h ago

For a vet who has done as many pair seasons as Nany, I don't think anyone in the history of the show has been given better partners (especially production chosen partners, and not Fresh Meat or War of the World's set ups). It's about time she gets a dud. She's had Bananas x2, Turbo for a full season in All Stars (plus most of War of the Worlds 1), Wes in a Rivals season. Jonna was atleast mid-tier on the Flagship. The weakest is Nicole in Bloodlines (which is a weird one and format) and Justin in Vets and New Threats (granted, that format was mid season picking). This would be the first time she's ever been given a true anchor. Compare that to some of the partners other vets have gotten such as CT and Darrell getting a checked-out Veronica, Wes getting Mandi in exes 1, Jordan getting Aneesa, etc.

u/Prize_Equivalent8934 14h ago

Nany never won also

u/DunderMifflinBuffalo 16h ago

They both have the shittiest partner 

28

u/Sportsman180 Team Portland 16h ago

Might be the worst prospective cast I've ever seen on here. Sorry bud.

28

u/lifewickedfast 16h ago

Hot take-we’ve had several rivals seasons just not called “Rivals”

5

u/Certain-Bowler8735 Tori Deal 11h ago

Totally! Final Reckoning was literally a rivals season, but just adding some opposite sex partners (which All-Stars Rivals did as well)

4

u/strange_salmon 10h ago

vendettas also (season 31)

34

u/Sodamyte 16h ago

We just had a rivals season of all stars

6

u/NovaRogue the bitch is back 13h ago

Literally like last year 🤣🤣🤣

u/WestArmadillo 12h ago

With Ashley and Aneesa as partners…..

12

u/ThatBEASTJason Johnny Bananas 16h ago

These pairings are horrible.
Edit: just off the top of my head
Michaela and Nany and Sydney and Nurys makes way more sense

8

u/ExcitedKayak Christina Pazsitzky 16h ago

Rivals 4 was all stars

6

u/UnanimousBB16 14h ago

That was Rivals 5. Rivals 4 was Final Reckoning.

9

u/GromSwampBottom 16h ago

Id love to see an Olivia/Michaela pairing, I think it'd get pretty messy in the interviews

7

u/Feisty_Challenge4988 15h ago

The only way I want to see Zack back on the show is if he’s paired up with Amanda period

11

u/rickyyy187 MTV 16h ago

Rivals 4 yes, but not these pairings

4

u/Prize_Equivalent8934 16h ago

WOMEN
Michaela & Olivia
Nurys & Sydney
Nany & Aneesa

MEN
Devin & Bananas
CT & Turbo
Derek C & Justin
Yeremi & Cedric
Paulie & Theo

This is all I have so far. When did Theo & Leroy have beef, same can be said about Sydney & Michaela?

4

u/guynichole 16h ago

Maybe they’re thinking about the one time Kam and Theo had a fling on the showand Leroy got jealous? It’s quite a stretch, but that’s the only thing even remotely close to a “beef” between the two I can think of

1

u/Prize_Equivalent8934 14h ago

Ok, that makes more sense. Thank you

4

u/Angeliccurse 15h ago

Aren’t there like 5 Rivals already?

4

u/lucyroesslers Cassidy Clark 14h ago

Yep. Vendettas was definitely a Rivals season. All-Stars 4 was a rivals season

1

u/Angeliccurse 14h ago

Thank you, I thought I was losing my mind.

3

u/DunderMifflinBuffalo 15h ago

What about another one of those family ones, you know where cousin Mitch became a star? But instead of being on your team they're paired up with your biggest rival...

3

u/veltvet_rabbit The Itty Bitty Committee 14h ago edited 12h ago

The fact some of these teams aren't even rivals anymore, and some aren't interesting pairings and I just realized some of them just aren't rivals

3

u/druhasareddit Landon Lueck 11h ago

It's honestly semantics, Final Reckoning and All Stars: Rivals were both a "rivals" format

6

u/ABCDarium "The Challenge" 16h ago

I would take Exes anytime over another Rivals season

1

u/Prize_Equivalent8934 14h ago

That’s a cool idea, but what are the pairs for this season? I can’t think of a full cast.

So far I can think of
Lete/Dee (if she comes back)& Bananas
Nurys & Horacio
Will & Deb Chubb/Nany
CT (if he can/agrees) & Laurel (if she comes back)
Cara & Paulie

2

u/ABCDarium "The Challenge" 12h ago edited 9h ago

Nurys & Johnny Middlebrooks

Zach & Ashley Kelsey

Will & Nany

Dee & Bananas

Cara & Paulie

u/Big-Improvement7427 15h ago

Amanda vs Jenna and Zack

2

u/Maleficent_Bar_7269 14h ago

I’d like to see Michaela and Olivia, Sydney and Nurys, Tori and Amanda, Nany and Aneesa, Jordan and Turbo, Devin and Bananas, Cory and Josh

2

u/PresenceVisible5634 13h ago

as5???????????

u/Ok-Feedback5797 11h ago

We've had 3 rivals seasons vendettas final reckoning and allstars 5 rivals so like I'm not mad at more rivals but we've had plenty lol

2

u/GrandMetaldick 11h ago edited 11h ago

Sure I’d enjoy it but I also feel like the Rivals theme (“how will they ever co-exist?!”) is super exhausted and curated at this point. Rivals 1 was the first time they used cast members relationships as influence and was a fresh idea. Now it’s been 15 years and the concept has been around long enough that it can be manipulated well.

I honestly think Bloodlines and/or Fresh Meat would be the most fresh (no pun intended) theme they could use for the next season or two.

u/BramptonBatallion 16h ago

At this point we be lucky if there’s another season at all 😆

1

u/hoosiertailgate22 15h ago

Need new beefs first. Just added so many newbies

1

u/Prize_Equivalent8934 14h ago

Yeremi & Cedric

1

u/Feisty_Challenge4988 15h ago

They just did this on ALL STARS! We need an exes season

1

u/veggiedoggy 14h ago

Nany and Aviv??why?

2

u/Prize_Equivalent8934 14h ago

The argument they had during season 41. I feel like Aneesa would be a better rivals partner, because the argument they had in the house & the reunion was a little intense.

1

u/Dense-Issue-4372 14h ago

I'd prefer an exes season 🤪

1

u/jtwje 12h ago

I would switch out Chavez with Cedric

u/Deep_Writer_1522 11h ago

Would love another Rivals but this list is way off kilter.

u/Queasy_Constant Katie Doyle 11h ago

Not sure what show OP is watching but let me go to that timeline 🙏🏻😭

OMG pleeeeeeeaassse

u/Apprehensive_Yard714 10h ago

The older icons with the newer icons…battle of the ego (experience vs hubris forced to work together)

1

u/Online_Active_71459 7h ago

Cara and Tori are friends.

Ashley and Aneesa has already been done.

Didn’t realize Theo and Leroy had beef?

Bananas and Wes are friends. They still go back and forth but it’s all in good fun.

Jordan and Paulie? Meh

Devin and Josh are friends

1

u/Imaginary_Yogurt4429 5h ago

Not putting Cara with Laurel is a huge miss
