The Ruins: Johanna Botta - MTV

She is going to bring drama for sure.

Oh God, here we go.

The gorgeous Johanna. Let's see where this goes.

Hmm will she still be 'shacking up' to extend her stay in the competition?

she's hot..that's about it...i bet she'll be all over Kenny..again..but there will probably be more drama with Wes there since Wes and Kenny can't stand each other.

Shacking up may be in her best interest.

I want her to be out first I don't know why but if she's gone no [B]Love Square Drama[/B] lol

I can't decide if I like her or not! On The Island she played the same way as Casey and just depended on the guys to take her to the end.

Does anyone know why she isn't friends with Melinda anymore?

I always thought that it was because of something that happened on Gauntlet 3.

Back in G3, her alliance consisting of the majority of her fellow Austin castmates was enough for her to make it to the end. I believe it was due to her being unable to protect Mel from being nominated since Mel was a liability especially considering the injury she sustained in the wood competition. Mel snapped at her own team and in particular accused Jo of being the one behind the decision. Of course, when Danny found out Mel would be going in, he also snapped particularly at Jo since she was considered the de facto leader of the Rooks at that time.

Johanna and Melinda are still good friends. Jo was a bridesmaid at Melinda's wedding, which was after the Gauntlet 3.

[QUOTE]Really? I heard she wasn't a bridesmaid. [/QUOTE]I don't know that she was officially a "bridesmaid" (though I assume she was, as she wore the bridesmaid dress), but she was in the wedding party. They were also in touch (by phone) during the filming of the Ruins.

At the reunion Johanna said that were friends but not as close.

she is beautiful, but i want to see her compete more individually since she is a champ cuz she has been relying on kenny and evan.

Jo is sexy and pretty, no doubt about that. I don't hate her, i just hate what she's become ever since she's been close with Kenny. She's now like a puppet whose strings are operated by both Kenny and Evan and i don't think she realizes that, or cares to realize it considering how she seems like at this point, she'd jump off a cliff to her death if Kenny ordered her to.:( She hardly even makes her own points on the Replays, mostly she just agrees with everything that Evan and Kenny are saying regarding whatever topic the Replay is about.

I have always been very intrigued with the fact that her English is so good. I understand that she moved to the US when she was like 10 or 11. I realize she's lived in the US for most of her life by now but as someone whose first language is Spanish too I know how hard it is to get rid of an accent when speaking English. Maybe it's because I'm not an English native speaker but it's really hard for me to identify if Johanna speaks English with any accent at all. Like Ibis for example I can hear the accent but Johanna sounds pretty much like a native speaker to me. You native speakers out there, does Johanna have any accent at all?

[QUOTE=ColiesMom;133785]She just can't hide that Californian accent ![/QUOTE] I was wondering if Colie speaks Spanish. I was watching The Island the other day the part where the cast members are given a cell phone so they can call their family and when Colie is talking to her mom (you) she says "mami" in what to me sounded like a very distinctive Spanish accent. Are you Latina? The way she said "mami" instead of "mommie" or "mom" sounded very latin to me. As for Johanna's accent I guess she does have a Spanish accent. It's just not a strong accent to me. I think her English is really good.

Johanna's exact Latin descent is from Peru so yeah, she definitely has Latin in her blood. As for Colie's name, i never really got the whole nickname until recently since supposedly Colie is short for "Nicole". Usual nicknames for that particular name are "Nic" or "Cole" whenever i would think about it before but yeah, "Colie" does sound more and more like a good and unique nickname for her the more i think about it, so i'm sure her mom is very proud of her daughter in that regard.:)

I like it. :D

Whether or not my future daughter would have "Colie" as a nickname would have to be determined by time and whether or not i really do have a daughter and decide to name her Nicole.

I'm sick of the fake twitters and the alumni falling for it. [url=http://twitter.com/JohannafrmMTV]Johanna Botta (JohannafrmMTV) on Twitter[/url]

In fact, it looks like they got more VH1 alumni than anything. Ah, I love it when they prove my point for me.

Derek and Aneesa fell for it..lol.

In Aneesa's defense, she's friendly to everyone on Twitter fake or not
