Now that the trailer is out I have the urge to watch another season. Are any of the first three seasons worth watching?

^I'd say if anything watch the Extreme challenge if you can find it. I think the first three were formated like Road Rules and I don't remember anything.

I am so sick of her ****. |
She'll be back on a challenge where the odds are against her, like Free Agents lol. She would have made finals last season if she didn't pull that stunt and her/Averey would have been a better team than Jessica/Ana's tragic self.

This cast looks awful. 
And they're speculating the theme to be Rivals 3: Co-Ed. Gimme a break. 
Way too much Are You The One?, who mostly bring nothing to The Challenge, and boring regulars like Thomas, Reilly, Leroy, Jessica, and Jenna. And as if the overexposure of BaNany wasn't enough, now we have back-to-back seasons of them with their cousins.
Additionally, I'm so tired of the pair formats. Would it kill them to give us something different, like a big team Challenge? I'd even settle for another "individual" one, perhaps a Free Agents 2, at this point.

I'd take goddess Jonna over anybody. 
Is this the repercussions of poor filming conditions, do you think? Apparently the cast each season gets put on total lockdown with gross living conditions. Looks like none of the veterans aside from Bananas, Leroy, Nany, Camila, and occasionally Aneesa, Cara Maria, and Wes are around anymore. Maybe these shows just aren't that enjoyable. Also, many of the recent Real Worlders don't seem interested in even doing one Challenge. They just do their one stint and then move on. MTV's downfall is real.

All that and I think the biggest problem is the challenges themselves are way too extreme now. Back in the day, the challenges were things any average person could do. People like 90 pound Melissa, couch potato Sarah and chain-smoker Katie were able to slay and make it to the end if not win. These days, you practically have to be a cross fit champion to even compete in the final. So all we get are these boring gym rats who bring nothing to the table.
Like I don't know about everyone else but I've never watched this show to see how cool and intense the challenges are. It's always been about the drama, back-stabbing and manipulation for me. Watching a dragged out finale where they have to climb Mt. Everest and sleep in an igloo or whatever dumb **** they do now is so pointless to me. Bring back the days where they just had to sit on a block of ice the longest or eat the most ice cream.

Whoever is in charge of casting needs their ass beat.
You take these nobodies over Beth and Darrell who really wants to do another challenge.

I hate to complain because I'm gonna watch the show till It ends, BUT, It puzzles me how Binum-Murray/MTV are still so disconnected with the viewers. It's 2015, We watch the show, we tweet, heck BM/MTV hosted a reddit & everyone practically begged them to use entertaining Vets. Like, you know what the viewers want but refuse to follow through each season casting wise. I'm not even gonna believe they can't cast them b/c they're "too old" or "don't wanna do it" b/c Darrell, Coral, Veronica, etc. all say they'd do another challenge lol. But whatever, I'm just another viewer who's gonna continue to be hype & watch a show I've loved since I was a kid

I never watch ayto so I know nothing of these people.
Seems like they are really trying to give Nany an easy win.

True, true. Although I probably wouldn't want to watch people eat ice cream and do things that anybody can do, it's ridiculous that you pretty much have to be a crossfit gym rat to do well on these things now-a-days.

They should go back to The Duel 1/ Gauntlet 3 level difficulty.

Why do they have to bring the worst people from the last two seasons of AYTO?
Brandon, Devin, Christina, and Nathan are all terrible.

The biggest problem with the casting is these dumb themes that limit the casting pool. A lot of people declined, so others were dropped because they didn't fit the theme and half this cast were alternates. Also keep in mind that they'll be filming until Thanksgiving and people have jobs. So maybe doing two challenges a year was a bad thing.
As far as the AYTO people: Dario made impact on Bloodlines, Cheyenne is the most likable girl on her show, Brandon and Devin might stir up some mess and apparently Christina is involved in the Tony/Madison baby mama drama so I can see why she was called back. Simone, Brianna, and Nate
