I left Derrick out of the sentence. Perhaps it makes more sense now.

Yay Robin!

I'm glad Rachel went home, i was never a fan of her. I think she's a snake.

Johanna has disappointed me. I used to like her but WOW, she seems like a completely different person on this show. She may be my most disliked this season.

IDK, i just hate the whole setup of the show. Its friggin boring, no missions, fights about food, they just sit around all day until they go and do a stupid face off. Please let it get better because i don't feel that excitement that i usually do during the challenges.

You make an interesting point. When MTV insisted on a one hour format for Gauntlet three, we saw two missions and two Gauntlets/eliminations in each episode. I thought they had gone way to far in the direction of "action" and gave the challenge little context. This time the pendulum has swung too far in the opposite direction for me and we end up with the fake airdrop and the manufactured confessionals to support the storyline. It has never been so obviously over-produced in past seasons.

In no way did I mean to imply that Ev actually said something she shouldn't have; I just meant what I said in the context of where that scene was in the episode.

I still don't understand why Abe would throw the face off. He could've beaten them both. Then again he left because of the company thing. Or so we think. Anyone know if that is the real reason he left? Sorry for my incessant questioning.

I totally agree. These could and should be 30 mins.

Yes, some people believe the episode is gospel. The cast is telling me that his company business was not the reason. I was asked and have agreed not to discuss the real reason under any circumstances.

I know what you meant, but it opened the door for me to shed some light on what actually happened.
