It was a product of my whimsical humor, and didn't come from a malicious or hateful place. Hold a conversation with me for even a short length of time and you'll quickly find I'm the least hateful or racist person out there. I regret you took it that way.
[QUOTE=Moonpaw;256806]Who did you guys try to vote for instead of Aneesa/Robin?[/QUOTE]
I [I]wanted[/I] to vote for Laurel, but Sarah wasn't so quick to agree. I think we voted for Camilla and Theresa instead as a throwaway vote.
[QUOTE=Blue123;256875]Yeah that tweet and the other to kenny saying, I can't believe he brought up your mom omg bla bla , big deal, that wasn't a huge insult. Derrick doesn't like him for some reason and until Derrick beats him one on one he has no room to talk ****. And maybe you're a dude and you cant see it but Wes does have a good body, he can be full of himself all he wants cause he won, now if he lost different story. And the whole point of the Greek god comment was to say even though he is strong he was saying he's not as strong as CT admitting that even though its obvious makes him less cocky.[/QUOTE]
I think Derrick has been hella bitter about that Duel 1 defeat. The "mom" comment that he was talking about was so tame and for him to bring that up on twitter was laughable. Does he not realize that every dude on this show has a big ego? Kenny says the same type of stuff but do you see Derrick complaining about that? Dude definitely has some hate geared towards Wes.
Jasmine this episode annoyed the **** out of me. She acted extremely ghetto over he said she said drama. Way to go...not.
Anyway this episode was cliffhanging as ****, I loved it. And yeah Wes needs to close his mouth. Adam R should';ve waited a week and struck him.

Yeah compared to what Kenny says it was nothing, I think its other people who are trying to make it look like they have this big feud, when we see them getting along and hanging out together. Derrick was like hanging on every comment Wes made, they're all cocky besides for CT and the way I see it you can be as cocky as you want just don't put others down which is what JEK do. I was impressed that Kenny wasn't making rude comments up until the Tyrie thing it wasn't a big deal but I felt a little bad for Tyrie/Davis. I think the duel hurt Derricks ego like he can't just say oh he sucks cause Wes already beat him, that duel is one of my favorites.
i dont even think derrick is really all that good:
Battle of the Sexes 2...voted off REALLY early
The Inferno II (didn't even go into elimination)
The Gauntlet 2 (sure he beat a lot of ppl, so he had 1 good challenge)
Fresh Meat (lost)
The Duel (lost to wes)
The Inferno III (big deal, he beat Davis)
The Island (boring challenge)
The Ruins (didn't see elimination)
Cutthroat (lost to Tyler)

Lol, after watching how he "smashed Ty's face in" last week, i doubt him striking Wes would've helped much.
Did anyone catch before the elimination Jasmine said "I really hope Tyrie doesn't go home" then right after the elimination she said "I'm kind of glad Tyrie went home because now I can focus on the game" ?
[QUOTE=foofighter7;256893]if jasmine/jonna got to pick the order....why did CM/Laurel and Ev/Paula go last?[/QUOTE]
I'm assuming because both pairs are a part of the JEK alliance and Jasmine and Jonna want to stay on their good side.

I've never really bought into the Derrick hype either. Yeah he's solid but when people call him the best challenge competitor ever or a top five or ten competitor, I can't help but laugh. He disqualifies a lot and he never stands out as the top individual performer on any challenge on a day-to-day basis.
He became so vastly overrated for what he did on Gauntlet 2... I mean who did he really beat? Adam Larson? Gimme a break... dude would get steamrolled on challenges of today. Syrus? That guy is about as unathletic and uncoordinated as they come. Ace has no competitive drive or killer instinct, and Brad's average. Anytime he's gone up against somebody bigger than him with a competitive drive, he goes home.
Yeah it's adorable to see the little manlet give his all but the fact of the matter is that Derricks's 150% will never be as good as the top tier players 100%.

I wouldn't say he's overrated but I would say he is in the top 10. Derrick did push CT off of the plank in D1. What excuse do you have for that?
After a little more thought, Adam is completely right, any guy would probably be better than CT. How pathetic of a competitor are you if you are arguably the most athletic guy to ever do these and never walk away with any money, I repeat any money. Factoring all this in, isnt CT the worst male competitor of all time if the object of the game is to win money? If you wanna win day to day challenges or be feared he is your guy no doubt, I will concede that point though

I figured you would want Laurel, but I didn't think Sarah would ever go for that. Glad you at least convinced her not to join the bandwagon!
Btw, best thing of this episode, JEK + Wes lift some heavy swan **** into Mandi's bed with a lot of effort. CT comes along and lifts it easily by himself, I laughed so hard xD Not to mention the way Jenn/Mandi laugh at it and then after CT lifted it out Evan is like: 'That went horribly wrong..'
Little late on throwing my thoughts in on the episode, but such is life when you live with 3 other people, none of whom are Challenge buffs.
[QUOTE=tjhallow;256443]LMAO @ Jonna saying she hates Camila because she does everything for attention. Really Jonna? Your the biggest attention ***** BMP has ever casted.
[/QUOTE]
I was thinking the same thing when she said that. The only reason this rivalry exists is because Jonna was being an attention ***** around that stupid d-bag Pat on their season.
[QUOTE=Camille;256564]did yall see how Theresa got in Jasmine's face. She thought she could do Jasmine like she did Camila. Didn't work huh? haha. Jasmine wasn't having that.[/QUOTE]
I loved that. Theresa thinks she can just use her height to intimidate Jaz and that did not work out well for her. Theresa and Camila even being a team is a joke. They had one minor spat on Cutthroat, it's a bit of a stretch to call them rivals.
Hey Wes, do me a favor. Go take a ****, and then say in an interview that it smelled like fresh chocolate chip cookies. Seriously dude, get over yourself.
It's painfully obvious that the main alliance, especially Kenny and Wes, are intimidated, threatened, and completely petrified of CT. It's pathetic. I can't wait to see how they try to talk their way out of potentially going against CT/Adam in the jungle. I love having CT around...he's the first viable threat we've seen to the main alliance in quite awhile.
Adam: focus less on hanging with your buddies and more on getting the numbers in your favor. He's talking about CT acting like he's such a burden when in actuality, CT gives Adam a great chance to win. Be friends with these other people when you go back home. In the meantime, try to pick up some of these rogue voters.
Hahaha TJ totally putting Kenny in his place...I love this last place team goes in, no questions asked rule.
Of course...Kenny talking smack about Mike Mike right away. It really ****** me off when people talk about someone's high intelligence like it's a character flaw.
Next week looks good...CT knocking Wes down a few pegs? Count me in!
Jasmine's shake session as she was sitting on the bed....not sure if that was entirely genuine. Looked forced to me.
My favorite part of this episode was when Camilla did her little dance as she was imitating Jasmine's whole wrong name tirade. That deserved a couple of rewinds.

Yeah I don't see how thats considered talking ****, it's true, in a game like this being strong and alone is a disadvantage, he wasn't saying I don't like him so I don't want to be his partner. But I will say that CT has won before, gauntlet 3 was the biggest robbery ever, so he has made it to the end and finished 1st with his team. The rest of his past is his fault, he could have won at least 2 challenges if he was less crazy.
[QUOTE=Mondo;256867]I can also see why Adam would trade someone like CT for Kenny in a second, anyone with a functioning brain would really. If the object of the game is to be able to lift a swan that four other people carried or to have great stats in missions than no doubt CT is the GOAT. However, if the name of the game is to win money than Kenny is the best bet, dude has been on like 10 challenges and has won money on all but two. I guess to put it in poker terms, if you would rather have a better starting hand in poker than finishing with the best hand than CT is your man. Having CT as your partner is like having Dan Marino as your QB, you are going to look but you are still going to lose. I guess what Im trying to say is why is it so great to have a partner who has one of the worst track records in challenge history and also someone who cant mentally take anybody talking behind his back because of his temper and psyche? If wes talked behind kenny's back I doubt he would care and vice versa.
And to be clear I don't like either Wes or Kenny but I would take them as my partner in a second over CT along with Evan, Johnny, Tyler and from what Ive seen Leroy if I look at it from the object of the challenge is to win money.[/QUOTE]
You like to express your thought in hyperbole a lot. Worst track record in Challenges of all time? There are people on this very challenge whose track records on these things reduce them to obscurity time and time again on these Challenges. How about Tyrie and Davis? Can you legitimately say that you would trade CT for either of those two? How about that one guy on the rookie team on Gauntlet 3 who faded to obscurity after Nehemiah beat him on the first elimination. And if we are going to compare these guys to quarterbacks, sure Kenny is like Ben Roethlisberger. Landon's probably Tom Brady. If CT is your Dan Marino, would you trade that quarterback for a Ryan Leaf? 'Cause that would be ill advised to say the least. Personally, I like watching good competitors on this thing, and CT is by acclamation one of the best, even though he has not won a final. The very fact that whenever he is there, an entire house will try to oust him is a testament to that.

Again with the hyperbole. Worst of all time is a **** of a statement to make considering how horribly bad some people have been at these things. Aside from the two times CT got himself kicked out of a house because he dented someone's face, he's usually put himself in a good position to win money. The thing that has killed him has been his godawful, indifferent and sometimes hostile social game. I agree that the dude should have won one by now if he is Chuck-Norris-Awesome, but I don't think anyone is saying he is that awesome. He is, however, a constant threat to the other players of this game, and that is the point you are either missing, or ignoring completely.
Also, everyone on these shows who lasts longer than a week gets some money out of it. When you are on TV, you will rarely walk away empty handed :)
That aside, this episode was solid. The meditation part was amusing. The drama was kinda lame. The whole Jonna-Camilla thing was like background noise. Jasmine breaking **** was cool though. The swan thing was good-humored fun. And I like good-humored fun. Looks like Wes gets to have somebody screaming at him within an inch of his face next week. Good stuff.
[QUOTE=SPK713;256971]Except for Adam Royer?[/QUOTE]
Correct :) The keyword in that sentence was "rarely". Adam is like an anomaly in a scientific theory that prevents it from being plausible.

I know you said rarely, I was just wondering if Adam got any money at all... and I'm too dumb to understand the last sentence LOL

I am pretty sure he has won money from the infernos even though they lost in final mission. 2 final missions he lost the girls(tina/tonya) and big Easy were not able to finish, so what can you do? Tom Brady can't win if he can't throw the ball to anyone. I know he hasn't won a final, but he has won SOME money i believe, not 100 percent though. Can't defend his actions as far as fighting, but the duel 1 dq was bs.
He could have won a lot more though if not for his fights, that is a fact. His lack of a social game stems from 2 things IMO. His hardcore competitiveness, and the fact that JEK are jealous/intimidated by him and know if they help him, he will beat them in the final mission. I don't think any of JEK are worried about each other as huge threats in the finals so they all work together to get 1st, 2nd, and third. Since the duel, it has been those guys with him on every challenge minus the big duel 2 fight cast.
I think CT being such a dominant athlete and not winning the big one, just shows that you cannot win a challenge without some help, even if it's an individual one. If he hasn't on his one, no one can IMO because there's no better individual athlete minus maybe Landon/Alton and they can't win alone either. You need at least some form of alliance or help from the girls side if there's voting.

How can you dismiss that he is maybe the most talented challenger in the history of the show? When you have an opportunity to be on a team with someone this good, you take it and don't look back. The guy hasn't won a final but it's not like he's an all talent guy being one an done in three episodes. CT has one of the most unusual track records in this whole game that you can't compare to anybody.
He actually won a final even though it wasn't official. I know it was the rules of the game but Gauntlet III and the Duel were terrible rules he DQ'ed on. He also came close on the Infernos. Inferno II was a win if Tina and Tonya weren't there. To base it upon how many challenges he's won doesn't paint the whole picture. Most of these losses were due to a supporting cast which could've been better.
The guy is an awesome competitor and not as one dimensional as you think. He was winning fear factor type of missions in the Infernos such as eating cookies and drinking milk without puking, trying to reach the lowest heart rate level etc. The guy can beat anyone at anything, not just physical challenges. This week him and Adam won the mission which was all mental. Has he choked a few times in the past because of a few slip ups? Yes. But one of these times luck will find him and you'll be glad when he's on your team.

It definitely seemed fake to me. She looked like an idiot.
On the topic of the OTHER two winners...I'm really glad Evelyn and Paula won. I just really hope they keep up this teamwork and it doesn't break down towards the end like it did for both of them on FM II.
I'm kind of hoping Jasmine and Jonna go home. They're just so annoying! I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't see how getting angry over something stupid that didn't even involve her and then breaking a mirror makes Jasmine "tough". I'm not a fan of Theresa, but it was nice to see her stand up for Camila when she was being bullied. Quite frankly, Jonna is the one who has the attitude problem. I don't get why she was so rude to Camila when she genuinely tried to apologize, when Camila's "offense" was acting like she was better than Jonna. Obviously Jonna is entitled to not like whoever she wants to, but that just made her look like a hypocrite.
I hope next week's elimination was like this week's--something physical and rough, none of this hand-holding ****. I'm not saying last week's wasn't hard, but I just think watching physical eliminations is a lot more fun. I would especially love to see J and J go into a physical one and back up all the **** they've been talking...and by that I mean get smashed.
