With the arrival of CT later this season, I started thinking about past challenges, specifically Rivals II and how CLOSE Adam and cT came to making the finals, just barely losing to Tyler and Bananas in that ball challenge. I remember watching and thinking that it was a sweet story that cT and Adam had thrived as a pair with cT being the bad cop/ brawn and Adam being the good cop/ agile one. Truly had the makings of a sports redemption movie.
However, looking up the old clip and rewatching it, many of the comments claim that Adam threw that challenge with how he botched the balls and couldn't get up the hill. Some youtube commenters even reference some interviews where former cast members believe that Adam threw the challenge. If so, that would disappoint me storyline-wise, but from Adam's perspective I would kind of understand. I wouldn't want to be badgered into a friendship by someone who tried to take my head off, it's hard to 100% trust that person.
What say you TwOpers, errr previously.tv peeps? Did Adam throw that challenge?
