[QUOTE=townie;155826]I remember visiting him out in the Bay when he was living out there for awhile.[/QUOTE]
It's good to hear he's doing better but the Bay as in Bay Area as in California? If so then I had no idea or heard anything about that even though I live in the Bay Area.
Think he meant the Massachusetts Chesapeake Bay, CT lives in Boston.
Who would pay to see CT take on Casey? I'm sure it would be quite the match-up. :twisted:
CT Track Record
(DQ) loses to Brad - The Duel

I know he lives in Boston. But my mistake.
You forgot to add that CT is the most or tied for most dominate male in every challenge he's been on. Minus I3 and D2 since he wasn't able to compete.

Your forgetting Inferno 1- gets to final but lose on the puzzle
Inferno 2- gets to final but loses thanks to having a bigger team.
Chris moved out to San Francisco for a few months, it was like around the time after Gauntlet 3 had finished up. He and Tyrie did a lot of gigs together while he was out there.

Also, you forgot his wins. Beats Shane Inferno 1 and beats Evan Duel.
Is this guy banned for good? It can't be, he is the only guy that can make it by himself just cuz he gets into people heads. Nobody didn't want to face CT in a gauntlet or duel.
Thank you for coming in here and giving us some insight Townie!
[QUOTE=townie;155826]Chris rarely ever drank before he started doing television shows and even during his first few shows, he really didn't like to drink. He'll be the first to tell you that he's a lightweight in that regard. [/QUOTE]
In Paris, Chris admitted to having a hard time keeping up with Ace who appropriately is now a bar owner. Christina helping him up the stairs in the subway station while he whined about being a light weight was one of the funnier moments from that season.
[QUOTE=townie;155826]It was around the time of the first Duel when he and his older brother sort of re-united; they had not seen or spoken to each other in years.[/QUOTE]
So this was also around the time he started dating Diem. Did she even try to help him? After all in her own words, she would not be the “fabulous” person she is now if it weren’t for him. It would have been nice of her to return the favor.
[QUOTE=townie;155823] He does harbor some sour grapes towards a few people that he was on the last challenge with because he has proof that a lot of them were in on collaborating together to get him kicked off.[/QUOTE]
The rumored alliance that wanted him out was Mark, Evan and Brad. I’m not sure how close he is with Mark but Evan at least pretended to be his friend. He goes way back with Brad so I’m not surprised that he is somewhat bitter. Everyone has their price in this economy I suppose. Brad did admit to having a hard time finding a job during one of his arguments with Tori in the Duel 2.
[QUOTE=townie;155823] Chris really doesn't trust anybody on these shows so to say he will 100% be in an alliance with anybody is a bit of a stretch.[/QUOTE]
I think it’s more difficult to trust the “Fresh Meat” generation of challengers since money is not their primary objective. More importantly, they use the challenges to further their careers as actors, hosts, models, professional partiers and wannabe “Ed Hardy” t-shirt designers. It’s no longer a social experiment but a gathering of entertainment industry people wanting more fame.
Diem help somebody with THEIR problems? Haha, good one! Not even going to waste text on her.
The people he heard were in on staging the fight were Evan, Eric, and Adam. He heard nothing about Mark or Brad being involved in that regard. Those guys believed that had there not intervention on Gauntlet 3 between CT and Adam that CT would've snapped on him then, but CT wasn't even that heated and had no interest in getting violent with Adam at that time because they were so close to the end of the challenge and truth be told, CT doesn't think Adam is worth his time of day as far as fighting is concerned. They figured if there was a way to get CT worked up at Adam again and they kept their distance that it would escalate, especially if Adam physically provoked it. The only reason he physically provoked CT that night was because Adam was confident because he knew the other goons were going to step in and break it up immediately. Unfortunately for him and everybody else, they only know a fraction of what CT is physically capable of when he gets like that. The aggressive powerhouse they only know from the challenges is magnified ten fold in situations like that. No joke, when CT gets like that, you put him in any of those physical strength/weight advantage challenges and he would throw even a guy Eric's size around like a rag doll.
Notice how on Gauntlet 3, Eric had no problem getting between them but on Duel 2, he kept his distance in the background (in what was a WAY more heated exchange than on Gauntlet 3) yet he was right in there right when Adam got hit. Same goes for Evan. I wouldn't be surprised if Mark and Brad would've gone along with one of Evan's schemes to get CT eliminated in the course of the challenge (like voting alliances) but as far as that fight goes, I don't think either had anything to do with it.
A few people on that challenge knew about CT's mental state going into that challenge with losing his brother and whatnot, and it's funny how they even knew CT's brother died or that he was going through a tough time mentally considering he never talked to any Real World/Road Rules castmates about it outside of Diem. He keeps his personal life to himself. Had they not known about that, then maybe he doesn't become a target to get provoked. I know blabber mouth herself is to thank for making sure everybody knowing CT was emotionally broken and at rock bottom from losing his brother going into that challenge.
And for those wondering what's going on with the case of CT's brother, their family got some VERY encouraging news this week that justice is headed in the right direction as the no-brain DA Robert Sand stepped down from the case. Chris & his father have been very instrumental and vocal in the effort to get justice for Vinnie and their efforts, against incredible odds, are starting to pay off.
By Josh O'Gorman STAFF WRITER - Published: February 24, 2010
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — The county's top prosecutor will withdraw from two cases involving the alleged beating and fatal shooting of a man in Chester.
Windsor County State's Attorney Robert Sand made the announcement on Tuesday afternoon during a status conference for Timothy J. Arbuckle, 29, of Chester. Arbuckle is facing a simple assault charge for allegedly kicking Vincent Tamburello Jr., 32, of Springfield, as he lay dying from a gunshot wound to his back Aug. 17, 2008, at Mackenzie Field in Chester.
The alleged shooter, Kyle D. Bolaski, 26, of Chester, is facing a felony manslaughter charge after he took a hunting rifle from his pickup and shot Tamburello — who was chasing Bolaski with a splitting maul — once in the leg and again in the back, according to affidavits.
"Within two weeks, there will be a substitute notice of appearance filed by new counsel, specifically John Lavoie, who will enter an appearance as prosecutor not only in this matter, but in the companion case involving Mr. Bolaski," Sand told Judge Theresa DiMauro.
Lavoie is a Franklin County deputy state's attorney who was previously a prosecutor in Windham County, and as a former prosecutor for the Southern Vermont Drug Task Force has appeared in White River Junction District Court.
There has been tension between Sand and Tamburello's family since the cases began, with the victim's father first complaining he was not notified of court dates in time to make the drive from Methuen, Mass., and later when Sand dismissed a second-degree murder charge after a grand jury declined to return a charge of either murder or manslaughter. In October, Sand filed a new charge of manslaughter against Bolaski.
"I would not be candid if I said that was not a factor," Sand said of the conflict. "The ultimate goal is that there be a just outcome and this was a case that, in my view, justice would be better served with a new set of eyes."
The victim's father, Vincent Tamburello Sr., who was in court Tuesday, was encouraged by the turn of events.
"It's a positive step in the right direction. Obviously, with Sand off the case, we feel a lot better that this could go in the right direction now," Tamburello said.
Like the new manslaughter charge, it's unclear why the change was happening at this time.
"I basically think the pressure got too much for them, as far as the truth coming out," said Tamburello, who, along with family members, wore a button in court with a picture of his son and the words "Know the truth."
Tamburello said, "I can't get into his mind as to why he was told to step down, but I don't think he did it on his own."
Sand rejected the notion that the decision was anyone's other than his.
"Absolutely not," Sand said when asked if he had been forced out. "Nobody has the authority to do that."
Bolaski is scheduled to go to trial in early May.

Vman said that Evan, Mark and Brad had an alliance going into Duel 2 so I assumed that they were the schemers behind the fight. Off topic but I still can’t believe Evan is one of Brad’s best man. I know that some people have “business deals” with certain people on the challenges but they leave those relationships once they get back to their real worlds. I guess Brad have to include the person who help pay for his wedding in the wedding party.

They definitely used CT’s emotional state against him so he was right in trying to keep information on his brother’s death from them. CT and Diem always seemed like a misfit couple to me. Christina from his original season has said that he is an extremely private person while Diem seems desperate for attention and for everyone to think she’s hot. I think Diem wanted to use CT’s brother’s death as her storyline for Duel 2.

Thanks for bringing the story over. It’s pretty unprecedented that a DA would step down from a case. Please post comments on the article to keep the story going: [url=http://www.rutlandherald.com/article/20100224/NEWS02/2240339/1003/NEWS02]Sand to withdraw from Chester shooting case: Rutland Herald Online[/url]
You're pretty spot-on with your assessment of the relationship with Diem. Chris doesn't let his guard down for anybody on these shows, he doesn't get close to any of them and doesn't let them in on his personal life or discuss stuff like that with any of them. With Diem, he did let his guard down and he did get close to her. She met his whole family... she talks about how she thought they were gonna get married, but Chris never met any of her sisters, her dad, or anything like that. It's like she was ashamed to be together with him or something. Chris trusted her & let his guard down for her and she burned him, she showed her true colors when his brother passed away.
Don't let her looks or her naive, bimbo attitude fool you, she's just as self-centered and as big of a reptilian individual as all the rest of the people from Fresh Meat. She got into a relationship with a popular castmember, got herself recurring invites back for future shows as a result, got whatever she wanted out of the relationship, and now it's "career first" just like she wanted!

Are you a real close friend to CT? I'm not asking it like you aren't, I'm just wondering. I know many people don't like CT, but I do. He's one of my favorite cast members.

Thanks for giving me another reason to dislike Diem.
And that's great to hear on Ct's Brother's case. I hope Justice rules in their favor.
I think it's pretty obvious she craves attention. After hearing a rumor that he slept with Shauvon, rather than go to him and ask him, she proceeded to go around and ask everybody BUT Chris what happened. Interrogating Adam within earshot of CT was sheer camera***** brilliance on her behalf, I have to hand it to her.

Even though I agree that she should've just went and ask CT herself I really don't think she really had any buisness to do that because what CT and Shavoun did was none of her concern.
I agree 100%, it was none of her business. They were not together... it was her call to end the relationship and it was her call to not reconcile the relationship. So, what Chris does with anybody else should be none of her concern. But, if she wanted to know so bad, she could've went up and asked him. He was like the last person she came to for clarification of what happened. She went about things in pretty much the opposite way a logical person would go about it but nobody ever claimed Diem was the brightest Crayola in the box I guess.
Diem had a very intimate relationship with CT. In light of the recent events in his life, she should have been staying out of the drama that surrounded him. Personally, I think she knew exactly what she was doing when she was a part of the mayhem. Actually, all of the cast members should have more respect for each other. Scheming to get CT sent home was low. For someone like Diem, who had a personal relationship with his family, to participate in that is even lower.
I don't believe that physical violence is the answer. I def do not believe that the "Shauvon situation" was worth what went down... but I 100% believe that Adam got exactly what he wanted. I really do.
Diem should have gone to Shauvon first and been content with the response to what she received as an answer because she would know more about CT's temper than anyone.
The past is in the past, CT has a lot of history. I'm just wondering if he will do another challenge cuz there is no one else that is so intimidating as he is.
Were going in circles at this point but it was really none of Diem business, CT was single and he could do whatever he wants. End of story.
To sit there basically blame Diem for CT and Adam's fight is ridiculous. She may have stirred the pot but she didn't throw any punches.
Good point, it seems that at least to me that CT should be responsible for his actions and not blame others for what happened. Being acountable is huge to ones character and that would be appreciated. To the Adam point that someone made earlier that he wanted this. Even if he did who cares. Seriously Adam is 60-70 pounds lighter than CT and heaven forbid no one should do to C.T. what he has done to others (take advantage of the situation in order to get what they want) CT had bullied/victimized him on and off for a period of 5 years. I don't know about you but I could definately see why Adam wanted it to be over.

The issue here with Diem goes beyond the whole Adam/Shauvon situation. She herself admitted that she would not be the person she is now if it weren’t for CT yet she couldn’t fly into Boston to console him when his brother was murdered. Furthermore, Diem was the only one who knew about his brother’s death. She was the one who shared this information with the rest of the cast who then used it against him.
Every time she is asked about CT, Diem gives this rehearsed line: “She will be there for him in second if he really needed someone”. Her actions however show something completely opposite.
I think we’re just seeing Diem’s true colors in the way she handled CT’s brother’s death. She’s just another people-using social climber in the Hollywood/LA rat race. Diem is not playing her cards right though since she managed to make a cancer survivor unlikable. But like other people have said on this board, she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Does it really matter anymore? It happened almost two years ago, and CT and Adam are responsible for the fight.
I'm not saying Diem is a saint cause I really don't like her either but its not her fault. I think the whole CT/ the death of his brother should be left alone out of respect.
"But like other people have said on this board, she’s not the sharpest tool in the shed."
GAWD! NO KIDDING! Have you seen that "Hollywood Hangover" crap she did on Sky.com. Very cheesy! I think she should get out of the entertainment business and focus on her cancer charity.

CT actually took responsibility for the whole thing during the Duel 2 aftershow. He said that he really shouldn’t have been there given his state of mind. Plus you have someone on this board who knows CT admitting his drug use and heavy drinking contributed to his actions.
But my post wasn’t about CT or Adam. It’s about Beth being right about Diem all along.
I think CT would have been a great Challenger on the ruins...
That Challenger team was so weak compared to the Champions, even on creation.
Take out Nick/Chet and put in CT.
