BTW, we did see CTs soft side. I think he was very sweet to Diem when they first met.. also, he was nice to Eric on the final challenge of G3.. right? lol I know that's not enough to sway anyone.

Besides.. I kinda liked him in Paris.. (OOOOhh.. Cry me a riva Tina) Loved it.

I agree, and also on the first Inferno he saved David since they were so close and took out Shane.

Sure, but it doesn't mean he's super nice. They had grown up together. Thats different. I bet there isn't one person on these shows he would save, if he had the chance.

This is not even talking about my topic but whatever.

I know Kenny personally. I could probably tell you why he doesn't like Tonya. That will be invading his privacy

Well I will def. be respecting Kenny's privacy, and in general I like Kenny. I think he's a funny player who also has the ability to focus and perform very well under pressure.

Anyway, I think I'm fond of him cause he reminds me of my brother a little. He has that "I'm awesome" attitude.. but I know better. You know? I can totally understand why people see him that way though.

Anyway.. I respect all of your opinions.. and I hope you respect mine.

Of course we do. And I agree with you I like Kenny because he is who he is and he makes no bones about it. I like his egotistical behavior because it gives him a confidence that I like in a man.

I do have a few issues with Kenny, but they are my own and do not represent any one else, nor would I expect anyone to use them as simple data points that are useful in assessing anyone's character.

I find nothing appealing about him playing second banana to anyone, especially to Johnny Bananas or Evan, two of the most undeservedly arrogant people on the planet. Kenny has the ability to make almost anyone laugh; his smile is infectious, and his kindness -- on rare occasions -- is legend. If he stayed on that end of his personality, I'd find him more likable, but I can't get past the dark side.

- He came to the taping of the Gauntlet 2 Reunion show in NYC and stood in the wings behind the audience for three + hours not but 3 feet from me most of the time. He had no idea who I was. He had the effrontery to offer a running commentary on 1) the people he considered lame (not in his circle of friends), the "hot" young women in the audience (who could clearly hear him), and on what people on stage should be saying. I was standing with two young ladies from TJ's management agency who were upset by Kenny's behavior, so I finally asked him to move or be quiet. He moved. He was guest of MTV didn't know how to behave like one.

- His participation in the "trimming the fat" conspiracy during Gauntlet 3 mark him as a coward in my book. If he really were an "in-your-face type of person, he never would have been involved.

- I have never found it acceptable to "kiss and tell." Not only does Kenny do that, but like his butt-buddy on the future challenge series, he keeps a list and boasts about his conquests. While someone may see that as confidence, I see it as misogynistic arrogance. I have a daughter Kenny's age and take such behavior very personally.

- I know a lot about his "Girl Gone Wild" travel experiences, but I'll keep those details to myself. Joe Francis has enough legal troubles.

- I'm aware of what happened in Evan and Kenny's hotel room at HoJos near LAX the night before the cast left for the Gauntlet 3 taping in PVR, MX. I know because a woman in the room called me from Kenny's bed early the next morning to tell me where she was.

Just before the cast left for Panama, I asked that one cast member pass a message to him. "Don't behave like an ****ole this time; just play the game hard. If you are yourself and don't pretend to be God's gift to women, you will be better liked by more people." I'm looking forward to seeing exactly how he behaved.

Interesting info V1. I like how you told somebody to give him some advice. Very wise of you. I honestly am looking forward to seeing how he is on this Challenge. I had hopes, until you said Johnny Bananas and him joined forces, and I think I lost all hope.

I know a lot of ppl might not like how he plays the game but at the same time there is a lot of money at stake and he wants to win. Some people are willing to go to any length to win, even if it does mean sacrificing a friendship.
