I've been waiting for this moment since 2006 back on the Duel. Today is one of my happiest TV moments of my life. August 24, 2011....Paula which has done 8 challenges has WON her first! I can live in peace now! Go Paula!!!!! & unlike many of you, I actually hope Paula returns (if BMP renews) for another Challenge!!
I L O V E P A U L A !
oh and thanks Ev for helping her.
Leroy just said they edited to make it look like Mike was complaining the whole time when really he wanted to quit before that and Mike was telling jokes the whole way
Even if I accidentally read spoilers early in the season about Paula and Ev winning, I was still biting my nails (literally, you should see my thumb) throughout the whole race. The Real World: Key West was my favorite season, so it's nice to see 3 out of the 4 winners from that season. Paula will always me one of my favorite competitors and I'm so glad that she finally won one of these things. She deserves it. Can Robin with the next one, please?
I'm incredibly proud of Mike and Leroy. They played one of the most amazing games for Rookies that I can recall. They look like they are genuinely good people, it sucks that they couldn't complete the race.
I absolutely adore that Laurel and Cara and Jenn and Mandi are "friends" now. I replay Jenn's "You're a horse-faced, Tori Spelling reject!" quote in my mind from time to time. It always cracks me up. I'm glad the harsh feelings are gone, though.
Quick question: Does anybody know what's the name of the producer who told Jenn and Mandi they couldn't continue? I'm just curious.
I lost a lot of respect for Kenny at the end there. Wes was clearly in terrible condition throughout the Final, while having to deal with Kenny yelling at him the whole time. There is no need kick him while he's down when you already lost.
Hoping this isn't the final challenge, I thought this was a pretty solid season overall.

Same here. I was expecting a big group hug at the very end. Maybe everyone was just too **** tired to do that. Great final but waaaaaaay too much of the puking montage. How funny would it have been if, at the very end, TJ showed up and told them that they had to do 1 more task before declaring someone the winner... go back to the restaurant and clean up that hideous mess!! Coma or no coma, I would have decked him right on the spot.

Wes did the same to Casey at Fresh Meat, so it`s fair that Kenny does it to him
What happened with the best challenge champion of all times, the greek god, the i'am good at everything, karma is really a bit**, and he has the nerve to call Tyler a fast a** in the final feast checkpoint.
I'm wondering if this final was originally supposed to be a one day thing. Maybe production was hoping the teams would finish before nightfall but if they didn't then they would be told to stand on rocks until sunrise.
It was ****** of Kenny to bash Wes to the other teams when Kenny was standing on the rocks with them. If you're upset about Wes and his performance, fine - but you don't tell your competition that. I've never been in a basketball or softball game where I went over to the other team and told them that one of my teammates was horrible and having a bad night. You keep that between you and your teammate. You don't give your competition information like that.
I think the final could have done without the GPS segment. God forbid you get a GPS that's low on batteries or acting up. The process of finding your key is out of your hands and up to technology. If I'm going for $100,000, I want the outcome to be in my hands.
Lastly, I'm so glad Jenn DQ'd.
That final was disgusting, made me nauseous watching it and I love how they close up on the person as they do it. Too much puke for one episode, must have sucked to be Mike and Wes, Tyler didnt seem to puke too much though. Next challenge make the challenges harder and tone down the final, that was some weird torture boot camp.

What Wes did was wrong, but it was in the heat of competition while he was trying to motive Casey to perform, and he apologized for it. Kenny was yelling at Wes after the race was over and nothing was going to change, and I really doubt Kenny will be apologizing for it.
I'm sure the guy was disappointed enough in himself, the last thing he needs is his partner yelling in his face.

It's just a dose of humble pie for Wes.
[QUOTE=josePortugal;273397]Its just a dose of humble pie for Wes[/QUOTE]Doesn't change the fact that Kenny yelling in his face at the end was classless.

Kenny put up with a lot of emotional bullying from Wes throughout this season because he felt like he was losing his mojo and I think that he was finally realizing that he had let a punk get to him the whole competition and he gave it back to him. Was it right? Not necessarily. But let's not pretend that Wes didn't deserve it a [i]little[/i] bit.
I honestly can't even believe he had the nerve to talk about partners giving and taking... Whenever Kenny performed poorly, Wes wouldn't let him forget it.
In true form, Wes punked out in the final challenge. If this were a one time thing, I might say give him a break, but he did the same thing in Fresh Meat with Mandi.
So I'm just saying I think it was more than just losing that set Kenny off. It was the fact that this guy who he'd let dog him this whole competition because of his poor performance, ended up losing the challenge for them ROYALLY. He'd let himself be dogged by a punk and it probably made him feel like a punk. So he flipped on him.

Kenny and Wes had a 45 minute lead on Johnny and Tyler going into the rocks. Because of the head start rules, Kenny and Wes lost. Maybe if Wes saved a little more energy in those 45 minutes, they could have won.

Everything he said was in his confessionals.
It was a decent ending, can't say that I'm happy to see Paula win as I'd rather see her just disappear from these challenges. Congrats to EV though, and ugh, another win for Johnny. Waaay too much puking in this episode, just straight up nasty. If I'm going to throw up, I'm going to run outside or at least do it in a bag or something. I don't care how much money at stake, it won't take that much time for me to run outside and throw up.
I really would have loved to see how CT and Adam would have finished in this challenge.

Possibly. Who knows. All I know is it was nice to see Wes humbled.
It really frustrates me that Kenny and Wes lost. They had such a good lead on the first day. That second day two minute head start was completely unfair.
Not gonna lie, this has been the best season since the original duel for me and it may have been the best final episode of any challenge(with the duel 1, original gauntlet, and gauntlet 3 being major contenders). If it doesn't get renewed i will be at a complete loss.

Wes CONSTANTLY said things in front of Kenny. Just because he laughed while he said them doesn't mean they weren't put downs.
Before the helicopter challenge he was talking about how they needed to give Kenny as little to do as possible because he couldn't perform (can't remember the exact words). He says things like that all the time... and I'll admit that Kenny put up with it like a punk and that's his own fault.
But just because you put someone down with a smile on your face doesn't mean you're not talking ****.

Whether you want to admit or not, there is a big difference between playfully saying "you need to do as little as possible" before a challenge, and yelling "You suck!" in your partners face after he under-performs in a losing effort.
Wes can take his "friendships are give and take" and shove it. When Kenny was screwing up he was never saying "oh, Kenny's my partner, I have to boost his confidence and help him out". He was saying "Kenny's a lower level employee and he doesn't stack up to me" but now because he's the one who screwed up Kenny should be understanding. I have no problem with how Kenny reacted.
On a less serious note...that puke scene was the worst thing I've seen on TV in a while and the fact that one of the online bonus clips is an extended version of it is awful.

Glad you enjoyed it... I thought Cut Throat was so miles better than this season.

But to Kenny's face he said, no you didnt **** up, what Iam bad at you're good at, I wouldn't trade you for anyone. That was after the rope jungle that Wes won for them, who cares what he said on confessionals, Kenny wont hear that till 6 months after so he didnt make him feel like **** during the challenge.
Again, Evelyn is amazing! Kenny was awesome for picking up Wes and carrying him. I'm happy that Laurel and Cara Maria weren't sour for being second. The final race was intense.
Very happy to see Ev win! Congrats to Paula as well for her first victory.
I think Kenny went way too far during the final. Yes, Wes was doing bad but Kenny was constantly throwing him under the bus even to the other teams.
Would of been nice to see Mike Mike and Leroy win but they made it far as rookies. Leroy said on his UStream that Mike ate most of the food at the Final Feast challenge and that he wanted to quit before that and Mike encouraged him to keep going.
