Aneesa gets paid so much because of how many Challenges she has been on. Lots of Challenges under your belt = more money the next time you go on. Bryan, what's your basis for saying this? Just curious. From what I understand, this is how it used to work: early Challenges everyone paid the same, with a few exceptions later, everyone paid the same but rookie pay is accumulated over time while veterans get full pay regardless of time spent there (ex: Danny gets paid $1,000 for 1 week on Gauntlet 2, Adam L. gets paid full $6,000 despite leaving first, Kina gets $6,000 for appearance fees for staying 6 weeks. Not real payments, but just using for example purposes). even later, rookies get paid less than veterans. now, you're basically paid what you're worth. There's no way Brandon was getting paid more than Nany on Free Agents. MTV values one more than the other...

What you're saying is correct. I'm not 100% sure how the payments work now as I believe they've changed a little bit. Basically I think it's a combination of Challenge experience + value to the show. So, people with high Q scores (recognition/popularity in the public realm) like Nany/CT/Bananas definitely get paid more because they're the money makers for the show and they're what draws viewers in. However, the number of Challenges that one has under their belt also plays a factor. So, people with similar Q scores would receive differing pays depending on how many Challenges they've done. So theoretically, Brandon would get paid more than, say, Trey. So, Aneesa with 10 Challenges under her belt but a lower Q score and Nany with just a few but a relatively high Q score would receive similar pays.

Yeah you're right Brian. I'm interested in the Sydney team for battle of the seasons 2012, I'm not too sure if it was a drug thing or not. I'm not sure why they were sent home before filming started, but from what I know, the person who caused them to be sent home will probably not ever be on a Challenge again... and since Dunbar and Isaac have both returned and KellyAnne has been asked since then, I'm thinking it's Ashli (NOOOOO MY LOVE) I heard they were in the house and ready to go, but when kelly-anne realized Wes was there she left and they couldn't get a replacement.

She and Wes are actually on pretty good terms. That's just a rumor. The Sydney team was actually disqualified for an undisclosed reason and sent home.

Whoa this thread is loaded with interesting info. Thanks so much for sharing all of this, Bryan!! I had so many questions reading through but I can't even remember them all now...
What kind of sickness did Evelyn have that prevented her from doing The Duel? I mean severity wise--was she in the hospital or something? I'm just shocked that she would turn it down.
What legal troubles are folks referring to with Donnell?
Why would they ask Brad & Tori to be alternates for Exes when they're happily married? I'm just curious how BMP would have integrated them.
Also, I heard that Frank & Jillian are still together. Is that true?
I didn't loyally watch San Diego. Why did they want Svetlana so badly? She was interesting on the challenge that she did but I'm wondering why BMP was so drawn to her.
Jo & Puck on Seasons, Sarah & Katie on Rivals, RR team on Seasons would all have been viewer gold.

I *think* Evelyn had mono? There's an interview with her somewhere where she goes into more detail. Not sure what you're referring to with Donell. I vaguely remember he got in trouble for... assault, maybe? Who knows with Brad and Tori. BMP could have spun something out of their argument on Duel 2 or something. Frank and Jillian haven't been together for a long time. Jillian is actually married now. Not 100% sure why Svetlana is wanted so badly. They tried very hard to get her on Exes 2 as well, but of course she declined again.

Thanks, Bryan. For some reason, I thought for sure that Frank & Jillian were still living together but I guess I have no idea lol
Millionaire mentioned that Donnell was wanted for a cast but his legal troubles came to light.

No one really knows the situation behind Team Sydney's disqualification besides the producers and the cast members themselves. It's all been kept very hush hush.
From what I know, Darrell said yes and I *want* to say Abram did as well, but I'm not totally sure.

So the 24th season of The Challenge (which ended up being Rivals II) was originally supposed to be a Duel III? I've always wondered why they didn't do a rookies vs. veterans format that season. Coming off Battle of the Seasons, there was a fresh crop of rookies (Zach, Frank, Trey, Devyn, Marie, Nany, etc.) that would've been perfect to pit against the vets.

They wanted a Duel 3 but couldn't get enough people they wanted for a Duel so they changed it to Rivals II at the last second. Which is partly why a lot of rivalries were so stretched.

Add Dan Walsh, David Leech, and Ivory Martinez from VR (at least, last I heard all three still wanted to do one but it's been a while). Oh, and Derek McCray, but I haven't really had any solid confirmation that he wants to return.
