The Challenge Series: RW/RR (Generic Thread)

[QUOTE=Insider;224973]8 pull ups? Really? When was the last time you saw a woman crank out 8 pull ups? Have you ever? Do you read the word "strong" and translate to "strongest"? I really think your estimates are a tad ridiculous.[/QUOTE] Females must be a lot weaker than I know of......because i played basketball with girls before and they were pretty strong. And from watching that video....is it really too hard to believe that a female can do 8 pull ups with arms fully extended?

So you played basketball with a group of chicks who could pop off at least that many dead weight pull ups? I would hope they're all professional athletes now.

[QUOTE=Insider;224979]So you played basketball with a group of chicks who could pop off at least that many dead weight pull ups?

[QUOTE=Insider;224979]So you played basketball with a group of chicks who could pop off at least that many dead weight pull ups? I would hope they're all professional athletes now.[/QUOTE] What i'm saying is it wasn't hard for me to believe that a strong female could do 15 or even 8 pull ups......but you guys make it seem like it's impossible to do even for a female who works out.

Most women don't make a habit of doing pull-ups, so being able to do them at all is something of an accomplishment in the general population. I mean, take a look at the FM2 girls. Just for the record, that woman owns a CrossFit gym. She's definitely not average in terms of strength for women (or even men, for that matter).

Derrick's got a new podcast up with Kenny and Laurel.

[QUOTE=JEK & Wes;224989]Derrick's got a new podcast up with Kenny and Laurel.[/QUOTE] And the first shot at Tina took about 30 seconds and only lasted for about a minute. I was impressed by Kenny's restraint.

[QUOTE=JL81790;224995]And the first shot at Tina took about 30 seconds and only lasted for about a minute. I was impressed by Kenny's restraint.[/QUOTE] I wouldn't call it restraint, I just don't think he has much to say about her.

Why does Kenny dislike Tina so much? I thought it was just Tina who didn't like him. Did they get in an argument?

[QUOTE=Youssarian;224997]Why does Kenny dislike Tina so much? I thought it was just Tina who didn't like him. Did they get in an argument?[/QUOTE] I think Tina said on the Duel after show that Kenny was hurt that she didn't vote for him after the first challenge and voted for Nehemiah. I think she said that he didn't talk to her as much anymore so I think it was him that soured on her first.

Watch Kenny's aftershow on the Duel 1 and you'll know exactly why.

I lost interest about 3 minutes into that podcast. Once I saw it was over an hour long, I cut my losses and got the heck out of there.

[QUOTE=molds13;225000]I lost interest about 3 minutes into that podcast. Once I saw it was over an hour long, I cut my losses and got the heck out of there.[/QUOTE] Probably a good call. Kenny and Derrick are my two favorite cast members so I always like listening but i would say 2/3 of this podcast was about anti-bullying stuff. Which is obviously important...but not why I listen to these things.

They talk about helping people that are being bullied. Yeah, they didn't help Ev when she was bullied on The Island. I don't feel like Laurel is sorry about her behaviour when she is drunk. She apologized for what happened with Eric, but does she realize how rude she can be?

[QUOTE=Debut Album;225163]Not only that but they themselves bully people on these things.[/QUOTE] I don't know if I would go as far as "bullying" in any case for the three of them other than Johnny/Evelyn. I think a lot less people would say that they like Kenny and Evan off the challenges if they were truly bullies. Which is why people (Abram, Cara) have said that they don't like Laurel off the challenges either.

I would call Kenny and Evan throwing powder on Tonya and putting a plunger in Katie's bed multiple times "bullying".

I think it's just semantics now. bullying vs. just being a flat out *******

[QUOTE=Debut Album;225273]Random list. RW/RR girls that would fit right into the Bad Girls Club. Coral Katie Veronica Tina Ayiiia Jenn Laurel Beth Paula Trishelle. Tonya Aneesa[/QUOTE] I could definitely see them as Bad Girls.

[QUOTE=Debut Album;225273]Random list. RW/RR girls that would fit right into the Bad Girls Club. Coral Katie Veronica Tina Ayiiia Jenn Laurel Beth Paula Trishelle. Tonya Aneesa[/QUOTE] Lol, all of those girls on one challenge would be EPIC. The guys would have no say in what would happen.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the initial reason Bad Girls Club came about was cause BMP thought the whole "mean girls" storyline of the Inferno 2 season was so good, they wanted to do a show just about "mean girls"? I remember Veronica and Rachel talking about it at one point and how they thought they were gonna get a spin off or something. Thus, Bad Girls Club was born. My RW/RR./FM list would be... Heather- RW: NY Beth- RW: LA Tami- RW: LA Belou- RR: Europe Flora- RW: Miami Montana- RW: Boston Gladys- RR: Latin America Veronica- RR: Sem. at Sea Coral- RW: B2NY Jisela- RR: The Quest Katie- RR: The Quest Tonya- RW: Chicago Aneesa- RW: Chicago Rachel- RR: Campus Crawl Trishelle- RW: Las Vegas Irulan- RW: Las Vegas Arissa- RW: Las Vegas Brynn- RW: Las Vegas Tina- RR: South Pacific Leah- RW: Paris Robin- RW: San Diego Ivory- RR: Viewer's Revenge Evelyn- Fresh Meat Sarah- RW: Philadelphia Janelle- RW: Key West Jenn- RW: Denver Brooke- RW: Denver Trisha- RW: Sydney Shauvon- RW: Sydney Brianna- RW: Hollywood Laurel- Fresh Meat 2 Ayiiia- RW: Cancun Jazmine- RW: Cancun Jemmye: B2NO

I'm just gonna throw this in here to vent a little bit about the Fresh Meat franchise. I know, it's beating a dead horse who was a victim of overkill, but I just kind of thought of something. And for the record, this is NOT an anti-FM post. I've always noticed that everybody who hates Evan and Kenny also hates Johnny. Makes sense right? Well for whatever reason, that has never been the case for me. I absolutely can't stand Evan and Kenny (I can appreciate some of the humor they bring though), but for whatever reason, I have never outright hated Johnny. I never really knew why. I just thought maybe I was petty and hated Evan and Kenny simply because they weren't on RW/RR and they were obnoxious, etc. And that is half-right. Well anyways, basically I've decided the reason I can tolerate Johnny, despite the fact that he seems almost more unlikable than the other two to me, IS because he was on RW, but not only because of that. It's because I loved Johnny on his season. He was fun and funny, and yeah he was a frat-boy and ********* on occasion, but he was so sweet with Paula and her issues. He seemed to be a genuinely good guy. So anyways, I liked Johnny on all of his challenges up until the Island. On the Island, he was a big ole- ****** but he was a ****** to Evelyn, who I already absolutely despised (not actually obviously, since I don't know her personally, but you get the point). Ok, now I'm just babbling, but basically my point is that the FM kids didn't have a season where we got to know them. Evan and Kenny could be great guys for all I know, but we ONLY see them on these challenges where they are scheming and competing for money, etc. Whereas there are some people that I can't stand on challenges but I at least have fond memories of their RW season when they seemed like they were at least good people when they weren't put in that extreme situation. Some people have the opposite effect. Kim from RW Hollywood for example, a lot of people couldn't stand her on her season because they thought she was a racist, etc. (I personally always liked her), but she came on these challenges and became a fan favorite (sort of?). Anyways, I don't know if any of this makes sense, and I don't really expect anyone to actually read through it all, but essentially I think the FM people have suffered from not having a season because we truly never got to get to know them, which has caused us to suffer because of it.

[QUOTE=yankeegurl93;225308]This has all been said many times before.[/QUOTE] I know, hence my beating a dead horse comment, and I'm not trying to start some sort of "hate the fresh meat" type thing, but it just randomly occurred to me because I saw in another thread people saying how they can't stand Johnny and I realized that for whatever reason, I don't hate Johnny. I should hate Johnny, but I don't. And it just occurred to me why. I don't really care if my post is completely glossed over, I was just kind of using this as an open forum for my thoughts haha. I guess I was essentially "thinking out loud" but via keyboard.

"the challenges were better when Johnny and Kenny weren't on there" - Katie hahah! so funny and true. Though I see Kenny worse than Johnny.

[QUOTE=jhl182;225311]"the challenges were better when Johnny and Kenny weren't on there" - Katie hahah! so funny and true. Though I see Kenny worse than Johnny.[/QUOTE] I'd have to disagree, the two add drama, love or hate their personality. And I know this is a rare opinion but I don't like Katie's attitude in challenges (I was a fan of hers on road rules), but now she seems jealous of the fact these two "newbies" have so much control on challenges.

Everyone has an opinion who they like and who they dislike, but I know Katie is not the least bit jealous of Johnny or Kenny. She thinks they are *******s and she speaks her mind. Remember Her and Veronica? It wasn't because she was jealous of her, it was because she couldn't take her anymore. Don't pick on the girl. Who the **** would like a plunger in their bed, or hearing they suck. It's not a jealousy thing, it's an "I don't like you" thing.

I actually don't mind Kenny (though I think he's overrated beyond belief), Johnny's been alright on Cut Throat, and Evan I've never had a problem with because he actually competes well, but the "drama" they bring got old a long time ago and now it's just annoying.

But I do think the dislike between people changed based on whether or not you're on the same side . I know Jenn has said she liked Johnny a lot more on this challenge because she was benfitting from his scheming.
