The Challenge: Rivals - Reunion (Spoilers)

Well done! And sorry for having failed to warn prospective attendees about the cold studio. It's been that way as long as I can remember.

[QUOTE=JL81790;270423]Did they get into the Kenny/Paula/Laurel thing? I know they talked about the fight, but Laurel said that the reason they were fighting is b/c of how close each of them were with Kenny. Paula said on the aftershow that the thing that she said that ****** Laurel off was "Kenny doesn't like you".[/QUOTE] Which after show dd Paula say this on? Did Kenny reply? Was Kenny defending Paula or laurel in the reunion at all?

[QUOTE=Tastysnicker;270453]Which after show dd Paula say this on? Did Kenny reply? Was Kenny defending Paula or laurel in the reunion at all?[/QUOTE] I can only answer the first part as I was not at the reunion but on the aftershow Laurel said something about how Paula had provoked what Laurel said to her. Paula responded by asking how Paula saying "Kenny doesn't like you" deserves "You're an ugly anorexic ***** who can't get a husband".

[QUOTE=jojorules;270450]How does Adam gas out when someone posted how Johnny just beat him for the last ball to win and it was real close. Did he give up at one point and than come back later to help? I just am wondering if it is obvious he does something to cost them or can't continue and it will be shown that he blows it.[/QUOTE] Johnny beat him for the last ball because Adam was gassed. They played it up to be almost seconds within each other. Prolly wasn't but whatever.

[QUOTE=cryssy19;270439]No one is actually saying much about Cara Maria and Laurel in the finals.... how did they fare? Did they complete it?[/QUOTE] Yeah, it was supposedly close between the two teams for the entire race. Cara Maria held her own and people are finally giving her the props of being a tough competitor, just lacking confidence.

[QUOTE=yankeegurl93;270448]I agree and I think it just shows how much people underestimate Kenny as a competitor. I don't think people give him the credit that he deserves.[/QUOTE] Funny, they had a convo about this and Adam made a really good point. There are three types of challenges, Challenge Guys, Elimination Guys, and Final Guys - and they concluded Kenny was more of a final guy than anything.

@Meelz Thanks for all your answers! Does Wes acknowledge that he f'ed up? Also, did Jenn bring up anything about Laurel making herself throwup?

Meelz, I just looked at the picture on Page 14 of this forum again and have a question about Evelyn's hair. Is it just the lighting or is her hair now brown? In that picture, it looks like the top part is brown but the bottom (the part that was pink on the challenge) is blonde.

Your best bet is to refer to a post number instead of a page.

I know that during Cutthroat, they weren't given water at a decent interval, I guess that was even more of a problem here. So here are my questions: So neither Jenn or Mandi were too injured to compete, but they still DQ'd on something? Did Mike DQ on the rocks or was there a DQ before/after that? How close was the final for the guys since we still know that Wes got dehydrated and stuff, but how far ahead did Johnny/Tyler get at that point?

They [I]should[/I] have had water with them at all times. Mandi and Jenn DQ'd because they did not do a puzzle at one of the checkpoints. Mike and Leroy DQ'd after the rocks. From my understanding, the final was still fairly close.

And **** if they DQ'd after the rocks, that must mean there were tons of places to DQ in this final.

The way it was relayed to me, it was that they did not COMPLETE a puzzle. As far as I know, Leroy was checked out the morning after the rocks, but Mike was pushing him to keep going. It got to a point where Mike could no longer continue.

[QUOTE=yankeegurl93;270465]Meelz, did Johnny mention his lawsuit at all?[/QUOTE] Nope.

[QUOTE=Maestro;270466]@Meelz Thanks for all your answers! Does Wes acknowledge that he f'ed up? Also, did Jenn bring up anything about Laurel making herself throwup?[/QUOTE] Yes. Wes does. And surprisingly yes, Jenn did bring that up. Laurel also brought up Jenn & Ryan's puke parties on Fresh Meat 2. Not sure if those are true.

Thanks for all the info. Which partner stood on the rocks for each pair? Which female got injured (and what was the injury)?

[QUOTE=Meelz;270481]It's still challenge blonde. She took out the pink.[/QUOTE] Thanks again, Meelz.

[QUOTE=molds13;270476]That I'm not sure about. The way it was relayed to me, it was that they did not COMPLETE a puzzle.[/QUOTE] I'm not too sure of it either. I think it was that Mandi & Jenn couldn't complete the puzzle, and although production told them to keep going - Jenn knew that no matter what they said, there was no chance of winning. Production usually tells them to continue going on for just more camera time, so they have more shots to use - but Jenn knew that they were NOT going to win and she didn't want to climb up a mountain. Jenn was far from 100% during the final, but she didn't want to quit because she wanted Mandi to get a taste of what the finals look like - since it was her first. But she pretty much knew she was going to lose.

[QUOTE=Blamo;270483]Thanks for all the info. Which partner stood on the rocks for each pair? Which female got injured (and what was the injury)?[/QUOTE] Mike, Kenny, Evelyn, and they didn't clarify for the other two teams. Jenn gets injured before the final starts, as show in the previews for the ep, Evelyn has broken ribs, and I'm not sure if Cara or Laurel had injuries at all. Maybe emotional scars or something ****.

[QUOTE=yankeegurl93;270489]Thank you Meelz, I appreciate all the answers and clarification.[/QUOTE] You're welcome :sad1:

It shows Mike getting sick in the previews. So Leroy gets sick as well? Or does he just want to quit do to fatigue? This final sounds really grueling.

[QUOTE=Maestro;270494]It shows Mike getting sick in the previews. So Leroy gets sick as well? Or does he just want to quit do to fatigue? [B]This final sounds really grueling.[/B][/QUOTE] It was; the first day was a full 12 hours and included canoeing, eating, using wheelbarrows, doing puzzles, and climbing up a mountain. Then there was the rock part, and then the last part took about an hour. The cast said it was "by far" the hardest one yet. They also said parts of the final were unnecessary and apparently not all of it will be aired on TV. Leroy had checked out mentally; I don't think he was sick or tired.
