Cut Throat - Paula Meronek

I would actually love to see Paula win! I'm a little sick of seeing her, but nobody can deny that she plays her heart out in these things!

Sad News to Report......Paula has died her hair Brown. I repeat Paula is now a brunette....as if we didnt have too many on these shows as it was. Dark Hair on Paula=not a good choice for her, just sayin.

Paula is in it to win it this time!

Did she take her implants out? They look both reduced and real in that picture.

She looks like she's going on a Safari in that pic with the high waist pants.

[QUOTE=TSPKM;207884]She looks like she's going on a Safari in that pic with the high waist pants.[/QUOTE] She's hunting for a WIN! :)

I would love for Paula to actually win! I think she looks real good now. I hope mentally she is prepared.

I think she is a strong competitor that has the capabilities to win, I think she has just ben extremely unlucky in these challenges.

I dont know why everyone thinks that she will quit once she wins...its not going to happen ha

I don't like Paula and I don't dislike her, but I have to admit there wasn't enough of her on FM2. Side note: You'd think they would take a picture away from the muddy puddle? lol :P

Any pictures of her as a brunette?

love this girl. but let's be honest, she will never win. It's destiny. Like Robin, Beth, Aneesa, CT, Adam or Brad. But I will support her,she is fun.

Her hair for sure looks better a lighter color. Eh everytime I look at the picture she just looks....not as cute.

She basically won. Gauntlet III - They crossed the finish line first. Her losing streak has nothing to do with her physical skills or her gameplay, just bad luck.

[QUOTE=CastAStone;208571]Oh please. She basically won. Gauntlet III - They crossed the finish line first. Her losing streak has nothing to do with her physical skills or her gameplay, just bad luck.[/QUOTE] You're right! Getting beat by Aneesa twice IS bad luck! haha

[QUOTE=kdub90;208577]You're right! Getting beat by Aneesa twice IS bad luck! haha[/QUOTE] It is when the Duel drawn caters to "bigger" people. She beat Aneesa in a physical challenge that had to do with actual strength/agility. Inferno 3 check it. Usually in 1 on 1 challenges that involve brut strength, the bigger person will win. Had there been more challenges with brut strength in the Gauntlet 3 then there is no way Jillian would have won against Janelle....just sayin. Paula has the capabilities to win, she has the athletic ability and the will power, she just needs a bit of luck. And I think Famke Jansen is pretty with her dark hair, Paula just isnt attractive with dark hair, its not working for her.

This nullifies your argument.

Paula would have won anyway. And way to nullify that Paula had even stated in that same season she had had knee problems in the past, pretty sure she tore her ACL. Aneesas knee was just swollen. So you want to get technical I think a torn ACL Is far worst than a swollen knee.

Sorry double post. BUt might as well say Paula is awesome.:)

AJHill is right! Aneesa had a bum knee! I don't remember Paula seeming to have any body injuries during the season, that would limit her abilities. Paula didn't even seem to have any problems getting up the wall. And Aneesa is noticably stronger than Paula. Her thighs and legs look bigger to. So, I'm sure Aneesa had more leg muscles. Paula just had the benefit of Aneesa being injured...She isn't a great competitor. Sorry. And a torn ACL? Didn't Paula do the next 3 challenges after The Inferno 3?(The Gauntlet 3, The Island, Duel 2)? She wasn't injured or had any body injury problems in any of those seasons.

Aneesas knee was just swollen. So you want to get technical I think a torn ACL Is far worst than a swollen knee.[/QUOTE] I don't think you can actually say that, because we'll never know. And even if Paula did tear her ACL in the past, the recovery period can be fulfilled within a few months, and I doubt she did it between the Duel and the Inferno 3, so she should've been fine. Now if she was one of the conditions where the tear caused constant pull on the hamstring as well as the knee, even after the suspected recovery months, she shouldn't have even been on the challenges competing. And Aneesa's "swollen knee" was a little more serious. She required surgery to fix it between the Inferno 3 and the Duel 2. Not trying to argue here, just throwing some stuff out there. Looking back at Paula's first loss to Aneesa, crying, hair a mess, dirty, she was still the lost little girl from Key West. Now she's a Vet and has grown...alot. While she should have been classified a winner by now, I don't think she'll be happy to earn the feeling of satisfaction, like Derrick did after the Inferno 3, until she really crosses the finish line and is handed the check.

I'm just sayin if it were Paula vs. Aneesa in an obstacle course, a foot race, any agility/speed competitioin Paula would win hands down. If Paula isnt a great competitor then how did she make it to the finals in 3 challenges in a row? Shes totally underestimated, its not her fault that she got 2 unlucky duels against Aneesa where weight was a big contributing factor, and its not her fault that her partner on Fresh Meat 2 failed miserably and completely sucked in the Exile, where she totally kicked butt. I have a feeling someday in one of these challenges Paula will prove herself to everyone, but even then for some of you it wouldnt be enough.

Aneesa's knee problems were happening DURING that season.

Point blank Paula beat her and would have beat her even if she didn't have knee problems. Aneesa sucks at challenges and she gets lucky that most one on ones are based on weight rather than athleticsm. Paula is a good competitor. Period.

There are many different duels;some have to do with weight others with speed and others with strength and others with good puzzle skills. Jillian beat Janelle because Jillian was faster than Janelle was bigger. Paula probably would've been beaten by Janelle. So, that's bogus talk.You can't pick your duels. Paula lost. She won 1 gauntlet that was a puzzle; no athletic skills necessary. I choose to disregard FM2 challenges/exiles because they are partner missions. So, she gets a pass.If she takes out more competitors and wins WITHOUT an alliance. I will be more than happy to give her credit. Heck she's done enough challenges that have given her an opportunity to take some people out. Notice why she has/hasn't gotten as far as she has/hasn't: Duel:No alliance-no final Inferno 3-beat an injured Aneesa-went in 1 inferno-lost final Gauntlet 3-won 1 puzzle gauntlet-lost final(Big Easy) Island-Got Jenn and Tyrie to help her win a key.HAD AN ALLIANCE-Lost final Duel 2-Loss to Aneesa...HAD AN ALLIANCE/ tricked her alliance-no final FM2-Doesn't really count.no final. She was in 3 finals.ON I3, she beat an injured aneesa.ON G3 if it were a physical gauntlet, Katie would've probably squished her. On Duel 2, she pulled a fast one on her alliance-messing her own game up and Dunbar's game up, and got beat by Aneesa again. So Paula has been lucky and unlucky. Let's see how she does on Cutthroat. If she even goes into an elimination round and wins.

I hate when people try to make excuses for why someone lost! I love Aneesa, but SHE LOST. Would she have won if she didn't have a hurt knee? Who knows. We do, however, know that Paula beat her. So in that particular game that particular day, Paula was better.
