Ruthie was crushed by Beth, but it was a challenge that was very weight biased. I like Ruthie too, but when she got her head straight and quit drinking, there was no 'tv personality.'

ok ok I thought so but thats a funny pic of her...on the show I thought she was coyote ugly but now I'm not so sure (maybe its because I've seen all the dogs on Hollywood, with the exception of Bri)

I didn't realize she had quit drinking. When I stopped in at Saddle Ranch for CR's birthday bash last year, Ruthie was there in a corner with Adam (Paris). Neither of them was feeling any pain. Must be a recent sobering, which, given the proclivities of the RW/RR crowd, is always a good idea.

she may be drinking now. i don't know. i don't follow their lives that closely. but she did sober up at some point. and her personality on the challenges is a lot more sober than on her season.

V1...it would appear that you may be just a bit biased toward certain cast (ie Beth). Is she one of your clients or something? just curious

Actually, if anything, I'm biased against viewing things in favorable terms for her. I just happen to know lots of facts about her on the challenges that no one other than Beth knows. I've also represented her in the past in contracts and other things including litigation matters. She is one of my closest friends and we are also business partners in her production company.

I've never even hinted that I thought she was the best player on the challenges. That clearly is not the case. In the past 2 1/2 years, she has become one of the more feared players because has become a much better athlete after finally learning how to train. The physical improvement added some depth to her mental game and the fact that production is able to rely on her to give them good TV.

she's obviously very athletic. but she's definitely depicted as a villian (think of the witchy laugh MTV played over and over again and on the following challenge how they instigated the nehemiah speech about not letting beth wash his windows). she may be a great person in real life but all we have to go on is the challenges and how they're edited. Beth = villian. Tonya = villain. adam (rr) = villain. danny (denver) = future domestic abuser.

V1, is calling Danny a future domestic abuser considered slander? He hasn't actually (physically) abused anyone yet. so since it's a prediction, it can't be slanderous, right?
