Challenge Dirty 30 Player Preview: Christopher Ammon
The person of many names, Christopher, Chris, Misty, and Ammo.For this piece’s sake, we are going to refer to him as Chris or Ammo. In terms of sexuality, also not currently sure if he identifies as bisexual, homosexual, or pansexual. Regardless, he can do whatever the fuck he wants, I support it as long as it’s legal.
This will be his rookie season of the Challenge, being one of two rookie males, the other being Derrick Henry from AYTO 5. Ammo originates from Real World Go Big Or Go Home, the same season as Kailah, and possibly the worst season that there has ever been of the Real World. He is not looked upon highly, mostly due to his antics on the season. Most describe him as a SJW, Social Justice Warriors. I’m a liberal person who believes in protecting and fighting for the rights of the minority that have generally been trampled on for a good amount of years.
The problem with Chris and SJW’s, is that they somewhat shove this agenda down the throats of others in generally strong fashion where they believe that they are helping, instead they are usually alienating others, and reinforcing the belief that the left side is all the same, and that they are all blowhards. Being a very liberal person, along with most of my friends, we choke on our oxygen when tossed the insult that we are a SJW.
Chris has his beliefs and is not afraid to tell you why he thinks you are wrong. That’s occasionally a good quality, the problem is the manner in which he decides to bring it on is not the best. During his Real World season, there was an ignorant girl named Jenna from the South, and he leaked info online during filming to his friends that she was racist. It was online that RW was filming and that a girl on the cast was a terrible person. Ammo may have been doing what he thought was correct, that’s still not the right time to do it. You’re filming a show where all this will be uncovered on its own, and people will get to create their opinions of her first, and he took that away. Jenna was a terrible person, but what he did was still wrong.
Bunim-Murray casting him for Dirty 30 is an interesting decision on their part, considering he leaks info about the shows constantly, and was blatantly hinting that he would be leaving for the Challenge before departure. I am ready to give him a clean slate after Real World and see if he is a different person now.
Now here’s a review of Chris as a competitor, as well as his social media handles:
Skills & Physical Strength: My first thought of Chris joining the cast is that he would be a complete flop on the Challenge, since he was so small and dainty, probably never a sports person either. Well turns out he’s been working out since the Real World. He is so trim these days, and has waist size of 28, which is crazy on a 6' tall man. Guessing he has to be around 145 lbs. His arms look decently big, though that’s not saying much considering his tiny waistline. I am impressed though. He was never going to win in overtly physical stuff, and now his low body weight with bigger arms and tighter core could give him strong muscle endurance.
If there was an endurance competition of lifting your entire body weight over water or carrying yourself, Chris has that down. Ammo should look to highlight himself as a non-threat to the other guys, get the Preston treatment where he can ride a bit to the end of seasons. Except on Free Agents, Preston was actually very good. He should shoot to be the next Preston.
Social & Mental Game: He knows how to read a book and write stuff. This will help, as most of people on the cast are concerns when it comes to a middle school vocabulary test. Before they left for Season 30, after the Invasion reunion filmed, they were in New York partying, where Ammo happened to be out with Camila & company. He should leach onto the veterans as long as he can, keep him in the game, and maybe he can be more likable in order to gain a following.
Casey Cooper wasn’t a good competitor, neither was Ace, people liked to have them around. Ammo should shoot for that.
Eliminations: He should pray for a puzzle or an endurance competition. However, most eliminations involve raw physicality, strength and size. Ammo will most likely lose to anyone on this cast if it’s a Hall Brawl situation. Shane Raines is the only person I can see him putting up a fight against in one of those matches.
Final Potential & Endurance: He’s not making the final, unless he is carried as a lay-up.
Final Score: 52/100
