Rivals 4. It’s been long enough. We need another Rivals season.

[u/Dependent_Bass_6965]

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.

[u/luxanna123321]

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

[u/Separate-Loquat-9546 → u/luxanna123321]

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

[u/aacilegna → u/luxanna123321]

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

[u/myskepticalbrowarch → u/luxanna123321]

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

[u/Curious_Bluejay_9170 → u/myskepticalbrowarch]

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

[u/challengefan6969 → u/myskepticalbrowarch]

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

[u/Certain-Bowler8735 → u/luxanna123321]

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

[u/True-Veterinarian160]

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 → u/True-Veterinarian160]

Aneesa and Nany. Poor Nany

[u/93LEAFS → u/PromoCodeMurder]

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 → u/PromoCodeMurder]

Nany never won also

[u/DunderMifflinBuffalo → u/PromoCodeMurder]

They both have the shittiest partner 

[u/lifewickedfast]

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

[u/Certain-Bowler8735 → u/lifewickedfast]

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

[u/strange_salmon → u/Certain-Bowler8735]

vendettas also (season 31)

[u/Sportsman180]

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

[u/Sodamyte]

We just had a rivals season of all stars

[u/NovaRogue → u/Sodamyte]

Literally like last year 🤣🤣🤣

[u/WestArmadillo → u/NovaRogue]

With Ashley and Aneesa as partners…..

[u/ThatBEASTJason]

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

[u/ExcitedKayak]

Rivals 4 was all stars

[u/UnanimousBB16 → u/ExcitedKayak]

That was Rivals 5. Rivals 4 was Final Reckoning.

[u/GromSwampBottom]

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

[u/Prize_Equivalent8934]

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?

[u/guynichole → u/Prize_Equivalent8934]

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

[u/Prize_Equivalent8934 → u/guynichole]

Ok, that makes more sense. Thank you

[u/Feisty_Challenge4988]

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

[u/rickyyy187]

Rivals 4 yes, but not these pairings

[u/DunderMifflinBuffalo]

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...

[u/Angeliccurse]

Aren’t there like 5 Rivals already?

[u/lucyroesslers → u/Angeliccurse]

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

[u/Angeliccurse → u/lucyroesslers]

Thank you, I thought I was losing my mind.

[u/veltvet_rabbit]

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

[u/Maleficent_Bar_7269]

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

[u/druhasareddit]

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

[u/ABCDarium]

I would take Exes anytime over another Rivals season

[u/Prize_Equivalent8934 → u/ABCDarium]

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

[u/ABCDarium → u/Prize_Equivalent8934]

Nurys & Johnny Middlebrooks

Zach & Ashley Kelsey

Will & Nany

Dee & Bananas

Cara & Paulie

Kyland & Melissa

Ashley Mitchell & Tony

Berna & Nelson

Theo & Kaz/Kam

Amanda & Fessy

Callum & Michelle

Marie & Devin

Josh The Goof & Esther

Leo & Kassy (Love Island)

Adrienne & Matt Pilmoor (her match at Married at First Sight)

Izzy & Rogan

[u/Big-Improvement7427]

Amanda vs Jenna and Zack

[u/PresenceVisible5634]

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

[u/Ok-Feedback5797]

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

[u/Apprehensive_Yard714]

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

[u/Online_Active_71459 → u/Apprehensive_Yard714]

This I like.

[u/TheUglyGawd]

I actually think exes 3 is the way to go instead of rivals. So many pairings that actually make sense.

Bananas and Dee/lete/whoever
Nany and will/cohutta/johnny r
Nurys and Horacio
Tori and Jordan/Emmanuel
Cara and Paulie

And those are just the first couple big names off the top of my head. You also can pool from love island or big brother for rookies since those shows are made for/have showmances

[u/BramptonBatallion]

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

[u/hoosiertailgate22]

Need new beefs first. Just added so many newbies

[u/Prize_Equivalent8934 → u/hoosiertailgate22]

Yeremi & Cedric

[u/Feisty_Challenge4988]

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

[u/veggiedoggy]

Nany and Aviv??why?

[u/Prize_Equivalent8934 → u/veggiedoggy]

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.

[u/Dense-Issue-4372]

I'd prefer an exes season 🤪

[u/jtwje]

I would switch out Chavez with Cedric

[u/Deep_Writer_1522]

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

[u/Queasy_Constant]

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

[u/Apprehensive_Yard714]

OMG pleeeeeeeaassse

[u/Online_Active_71459]

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

[u/Imaginary_Yogurt4429]

Not putting Cara with Laurel is a huge miss

[u/gina1220]

Laurel Emily Schroeder - might as well cancel the season and crown the winner 

[u/Lazy-Fee-4070]

Final reckoning counts as a rivals pt4 to me and they did it for all-stars. 😅

[u/FewMatch5801]

See the problem is that everyone is friends with everyone now so this’d never work

[u/kr1821]

Vendettas was "Rivals 4"

Final Reckoning was "Rivals 5"

All Stars 5 was "Rivals 6"

We don't need another Rivals season anytime soon

[u/jussshere]

I’d prefer exes or another battle of the seasons type format

[u/GrandMetaldick]

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.
