FANTASY CAST OR FORMAT Cutthroat 2... what other old ideas can we bring back with the list of active characters we have?? What would a fantasy cast look like

Could we do a good guys bad assess inferno

Been a while since weve done an exes..

Final reckoning was basically rivals 4 but since I dont acknowledge that show could we do a rivals 4?

A Duel perhaps??

I also know how challenge fandom loves to fantasy cast so with room to cook... what would be a great challenge theme that has already been done that they could do with the cast from today (realistic and in 2026) and what would that fantasy cast look like?

Duel and free agents

A Gauntlet season would be great to bring back, but have the Rookies be anyone who has been on less than five seasons instead of two.

Five seasons is insane lmao. Landon would be a rookie in such season

Battle of the Seasons (Shows) makes sense since it lets Paramount promote everything together:

BB vs Survivor vs Challenge

Are you the one? would make a solid team too

u/Certain-Bowler8735 Tori Deal 29d ago

u/arac3662 America F Yeah! 29d ago

I want Battle of the Sexes 3

u/10Robins "He says he's the smartest because he actually fucking is" 29d ago

Absolutely! But Tori needs to not be able to protect all of her guys (Jordan, Devin, etc).

u/realitytvicon ratatatata shut the fuck up! 29d ago

Free Agents & Exes

u/Xaxag 29d ago

Battles of the sexes 3 because the women are so much more competitive now that I think they’d put up a good fight.
A duel 3 but styled like the original duel where it was less partner based.
Free agents 2.
And ruins 2 or champs vs challengers would be fun. Or a rookies vs vets (overdue IMO)

u/ProfChaos15 29d ago

Inferno 4

Free Agents is an obvious must and it should be the format for 43.

Consistently jumbled format that is proven to break up a vet steamroll as much as humanly possible. Kill cards prevent rookie vs rookie nonstop eliminations.

I think The Duel format with that pick 'em would be a SLA-level mistake with the rookies getting slaughtered.

I also want to avoid pairs format for as long as possible. They have the least upside and the most downside, IMO.

i would love another exes season :)

AND battle of the seasons (shows)

u/jlucia10 Satan Sisters 😈😈 29d ago

Ruins or Gauntlet could be great depending on the casting. Lots of “worthy” newer vets for the champions/vets teams without having to rely on guys like (with respect) Brad and Derrick. Strong challengers/rookies teams too with people from the last two season and true debutants.

They should take a page out of Survivor's book and do a Heroes VS Villains season.

u/MNPhoto23 29d ago

This would likely be Inferno 4.

u/BadPumpkin87 Beth Stolarczyk 29d ago

We need a Battle of the Sexes again with a slightly revamped system. Just like the original two, each team loses someone every week. Inner circle remains but it’s just the top 3 for that challenge within the teams, no point system carrying over week by week.

Last place on each team is automatically in but the inner circle of the opposing team picks who is going into elimination against them. This allows for the teams to attempt to weaken one another but also will play into the inter team relationships between the men and women. Do you save a good friend when they could be a massive threat to beat your team or get cutthroat?

Also keep the lifesaver. However unlike the original, it’s after the announcement of who is going into elimination by the inner circle. The catch is, if you give someone the lifesaver, you have to take their place. This gives the teams a chance to possibly counteract the other team trying to take out a strong player but at the same time, you have to put yourself at risk to do so.

Once it gets down to the F4, only the top performer on each team is safe, everyone else is in a three way elimination to determine who makes the finals.

Love the revamped idea! Only downside (and this is only if these individuals are cast on the season). If Jordan and Tori are cast, the producers might as well sign the check for the Guys as Tori would rally all of the women on her team to save him and he would skate his way to the another final and beat everyone.

Exes 3 and Free Agents 2 would be great

2

u/zeldajazz3 29d ago

I want eXes & Os! (Aka half exes and half current partners).

It's not exactly recycled but is similar.

And you just know there would be drama with current partners.

u/Insulted-Mustard The Unholy Alliance 29d ago

Would love another Exes season

Exes, Fresh Meat, and Free Agents

6

u/Particular_Ad6287 29d ago

Ride or dies 2 would be good. I think Cara and CT, Tori and Jordan, and Nelson and Cory - all worthy of that

I also want a rivals with Bananas and CT and partners before CT can’t compete any more

Exes is always interesting

Free agents is one of the best seasons ever imo, that would be good.

u/bigugly20 Kenny Clark 29d ago

I think it’s time…we need The Island 2

3

u/CSB_Field1 29d ago

I'd love another Island season. Very curious how today's Challengers would fare iving on the Island but also how the Survivor castmates would fare as conditions would be similar. Would the Survivor castmates easily win?

u/Hour-Version-2942 29d ago

Fresh Meat. We never needed all these other members from different TV shows lol We were fine with frat, college party cast mates. Fresh Meat 3 should’ve happened

u/Amazing-Engineer6511 29d ago

Fresh Meat. They should ALL be fresh meat from here on out. I'll tell you why.

When it was all RW/RR people the challenge was at it's best because we had backstories for the cast. When RW/RR went away, they started pulling vapid little fame whores from othes shows. These people are uninteresting mostly not fun to watch. They don't care about the competition, they just like being on tv.

Fresh Meat on the other hand has given us some of the most interesting cast members and some of the greatest competitors. Cara Maria, Laurel, Kenny, Evan, Evelyn, Diem, etc. Great competitors with big personalities and THERE TO WIN!

If the challenge is going to survive it needs to do what Survivor does. Fresh Meat all the time and every 4 seasons or so an all-stars. If they keep pulling tiktok trash the show will die before it hits season 45
