[quote=cjslife;80851]This is like the third time I've seen this lol. Did I miss something? What donkey noise?[/quote]
The noise he made when he was falling. He said it sounded like an injured donkey or something in his confessional.
[quote=xplode;80854]Okay he is falling in the water and it's what he describes as a walrus. To me it sounds like a donkey dying.[/quote]
He didn't say walrus...
Anybody else notice how in every scene they show MJ outside of the competitions, he has a massive dip of chaw in his mouth and a spitter bottle in his hand?

Yeap, so does Brad. Ewwy.
[quote=LCbaby;80668]Just finished watching. Thoughts on episode..
1. MJ was actually funny with his commentary on his spelling versus donkey noises. I felt like he made the best Duel pick and am happy to see someone is finally using their brain. However, if it will be enough for MJ to beat Brad, we shall see. I don't feel MJ is as good as Brad, period.
2. Evan = lol. Happy he won, happy he provided us some laughs and one cute dance.
3. The challenge was hysterical. Brad and Landon are NOT smarter than 5th graders.
4. Mark's fashion show voice was cute, almost as cute as Keegal's bum bum.
5. Tori annoyed me, greatly. She is such a pretty strong girl who I feel COULD take out any of the remaining ladies, but I feel her emotional state puts her at a handicap.
6. I am truly beginning to like Aneesa...she didn't complain and whine about being picked, and she was honest about it.
7. Tori talking some trash is not going to work in her favor, and I am surprised she made the whole "I don't like drama, Aneesa does" comment because the entire episode showed an emotional, dramatic, Tori. Even getting picked she had to stir up the drama sauce. It got spicy.
8. I dislike Rachel, she is so manipulative. Funny how the Aneesa-Brit-Rachel friendship is now in high gear. She befriends all her competition and uses them to eliminate those she is threatened by. Just go in the Duel and win and maybe people will actually believe your the "best", Rachel.
I cannot wait for next's week episode![/quote]
#8 is dead on. However, she does win challenges, and as much as I would like her to go into a duel, her winning gives her exemption. However, she made damn sure she aligned herself with Aneesa from the outset because hands down Aneesa would have taken her in every female duel except the Spot On duel imo and she realized it.
She even admitted that she didn't want to go against Tori, and as annoying as she was, she could compete against Rachel.
Nevertheless, Tori was over melodramatic this episode, and it became annoying.
As for the spelling challenge, it was the worst challenge and the worst performance I have seen since the 19-17 Michigan State vs Wisconsin halftime score of the 200# NCAA National Semifinals.
This episode could have been so much better had they edited the tori brad drama in half, didn't drag out the spelling challenge through 2 commercials, and shown results of both duels this episode.
So, just something I've noticed about Aneesa. She's caused problems with a lot of women on this challenge.
Duel #1: Freaked out at Shauvon for calling her out.
Duel #5: Told Ruthie she'd pick Isaac who would then save Ruthie... and didn't.
Duel #6: Now this I could be wrong on, but I thought I saw Kim say something about how Aneesa was a part of the whole flirtatious thing with Dunbar.
Duel #8: Jenn got mad at Aneesa for being so upset by her relationship with Rachel.
Duel #9: No need to go into detail, we all just watched her fight with Tori.
Not in a Duel, but has had arguments with Rachel as well.
Hmmmm... I'm sensing a pattern here. She's either just a shady person or she loves the attention the cameras give her when she acts like this. Or both... I dunno, I just don't like the girl.
"Just go in the Duel and win and maybe people will actually believe your the "best", Rachel."
I guess, but you can't deny that she's been very strong--probably the strongest--in the challenges.
That other comment about Rachel aligning herself with Aneesa because she would have picked her for the duel...I don't get it. Maybe I misunderstood. That just seems crazy to me. Why would Rachel be afraid of Aneesa? And why would Aneesa pick Rachel? First, Rachel would most likely beat her, and second, Aneesa carries a torch for Rachel.
As for Rachel being manipulative? Perhaps. I just think she's smart. Though I must admit, when Jenn was in the duel Rachel "was very adamant with Jenn to pick someone she can beat." But with Aneesa she was encouraging her to pick Tori to get rid of her. Interesting. Though to her credit, she did tell Aneesa to do what she wants because it's her duel, and admitted to her she thought Diem would be easier to beat.
It's weird because back in the day I remember not liking Rachel (though it's been so long I can't remember exactly why, lol). Now she's one of my favorites. Never expected that. Go figure.

Aneesa just flat out sucks at the challenges & at life. The first Duel she told Diem she wouldn't vote for her & then said it was because she thought Diem was going to win that challenge. If somebody is going to win the challenge, why say something like that, because they're immune from the Duel anyways. She was exposed as a liar there too. Then on Inferno 3 her performance was sucking Hersey squirts from a straw & then all the sudden her "knee was injured" and she got to dog it in missions. She is all talk & no walk as far as I'm concerned.

Ok look. I know Anessa in real life and I would really appreciate if you wouldn't say that. :)
And FYI her knee was really hurt. You may want to look at the footage again. All talk you say??? I think she has proven herself time in and time out in the duel, inferno, gaunlet, etc!
Have a good day =)

Could you please elaborate on how you "know" her? I'm curious.
I know that Aneesa is not the best when it comes to challenges but she has a great track record in eliminations. It seems like she harnesses some great power from within when she is fighting to stay in the game.
I like Aneesa she is just keeping it real and I have enjoyed her dailies. She has been very funny and I love her playing the "wifey" role to her partner MJ.
It is funny how Rachel has so much influence on her though. I wonder if Aneesa would have picked Tori to go into the Duel if Rachel didn't go and talk to her. I can't wait to see the whole duel and the aftermath.
I must say, as someone who really doesn't like Aneesa's personality (to be fair, as it's portrayed on TV)... I gotta admit she really brings it when it comes to Duels/Infernos/Gauntlets/ect. She's tough to beat in those.

I agree she's really kicks some *** when it comes to Elimination rounds.

While I won't deny she is a strong girl and physically fit, I don't consider her the strongest in the challenges. Comparing The Duel to The Duel 2, Jodi won more challenges than Rachel. Each challenge, she pretty much won her safety so that she wouldn't be placed into the Duel.
Rachel has won four challenges on Duel 2.
Jodi won seven challenges on Duel 1.
Rachel still managed to not go in a duel (so far) and half of the time she was not safe. She has great tactics - she intimidates girls thus making them not pick her, and she aligns herself with the strongest girls and male competitors on Duel II. She is always picked up. I would give anything to see a duel against her and Aneesa. Aneesa is queen of the elimination rounds, and while she sucks in challenges, endurance missions, and foot races - she has an amazing quality 1v1. I admire that about her, and actually feel she is stronger than Rachel in that sense. If Rachel truly was this Queen of the Challenge, best girl on the show, she would have no problem stepping in the Duel and testing herself. Don't forget Evelyn wanting to 1v1 Rachel, but has it or will it ever happen? I doubt it.
Also, let's not forget The Island. It wasn't an arm wrestling contest, a wrestling match, or a spelling bee. Rachel had to sit on some logs longer than Robin and Kelly Anne. Kelly Anne beat her - and we can argue weight and position had something to do with it, but those silly types of games are ALL MENTAL. If Rachel was truly as strong as she wants us all to believe she is, she would of won.
I guess it all varies in "Who is the best girl competitor". Completely a matter of opinion, I hold physical strength and not being afraid of an elimination round much more valuable than having muscles and trying to stay out of elimination rounds at all costs.
Evelyn, in my opinion until I see her and Rachel 1v1, will always be stronger. One could argue that even Aneesa might have a fight for the coveted title. She can't run, she can't climb, and she is dead weight to any endurance mission or team - but she isn't afraid to go 1v1. She is confident in her ability to take you out. That means more than being some sort of master manipulator. So I stick with my quote and say "Just go in the Duel and win and maybe people will actually believe your the "best", Rachel."

I believe that on I3, her knee really was injured because she is a better competitor than that.
I am inclined though to agree that Rachel may have manipulated her into picking Tori because Rachel had her own internal fears. Truth is, imo, I think Rachel has a friendship with Aneesa, but Rachel also saw a benefit in aligning herself with her.
Of the 5 Duels - Aneesa would clearly, CLEARLY smoke Rachel hands down in Back Off, Push Over, and The elevator. I really believe because Duel Pole Dance allows for a tab bit of physical contact, Aneesa could knock Rachel down from the pole and have a little more endurance than an Eric, to get to the top.
Spot On, Rachel would win hands down.
Nevertheless, imo that was Reason # 1 to keep Aneesa, given that on Duel 1, Aneesa was gonna gun for Jodi because she isn't afraid.
Reason 2 - and I give Rach credit, she wants to win the whole challenge, and while not align yourself with someone that is a tough out in a duel, but make lack the endurance to win a final challenge.
Rachel played a smart game. Yeah, she could have manipulated the voting order to spare Jenn - and perhaps leave Aneesa last ....... but she knew Aneesa would have picked Jenn and demolished her. Jenn doesn't climb well, so she would lose all 5.
However, in the challenges she did what she had to to ensure her plan would be most effective.
I could only imagine what would have happened had, let's say Aneesa and MJ won the spelling bee.

My cousin and her are great friends. She also lives in Philly, like me!!

LCbaby, I didn't mean Rachel is the strongest in the challenges overall, I meant in the challenges on The Duel 2.
I'd like to see a Rachel vs. Evelyn battle, that'd be interesting. I really believe either could win.
Also, why go in a Duel until it's completely necessary? It's not cowardly to stay out of them, it's smart. Why feel the need to "prove yourself" if you already know you're a strong competitor. She oozes confidence, I don't think she feels the need to prove herself in a duel, even though we'd all like to see it. There's a reason why no one picks her, and I don't think it's because she tries to intimidate people. How does she do that? It's because she's good.
Also, I have to respectfully disagree with you guys about Aneesa. I do like her, I find her funny (though she was a bit annoying dragging out the "triangle" nonsense), but I don't think she would "clearly, CLEARLY smoke Rachel." That's nuts to me. Possibly in pushover, but even that would be close. I think Rachel would be just as competitive one-on-one, in something other than hanging on a pole.
Anyway, thanks for humoring me. I just found this site, and it's filled with lots of good info!
