The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Love the Way You Lie

[QUOTE=jojorules;297187]Actually i would think being really big and really small are the two worst for this as far as a team. Most work jumping for small, most bending for bigger to avoid top one.[/QUOTE] Exactly how I see it. This requires finesse. A really small girl has to work hard, and really big man has to be fast. You want to be like 5'8" on this. Somone over 6 feet can have some problems, someone too small needs to have some serious energy. Tyrie is big and tall so it aint easy.

I really enjoyed this episode since it focused more on the old school people. It was also nice to see them go out and have fun unlike past recent challenges "Duel II, Ruins, Cutthroat". Production must've learned from their mistake.

Does anyone else think that Emily gets hotter every episode? I didn't think it was possible.

[QUOTE=JL81790;297267]Does anyone else think that Emily gets hotter every episode? I didn't think it was possible.[/QUOTE] um YES! Her and the other Emily from the challenges are so similar I realized. They're both very competitive and athletic and they even look similar! Weird...I could've seen Emily (DC) as a Road Ruler.

I'm kind of shocked to be saying this but the last few episodes Ty has really grown on me.

Ty has definitely stepped up. He is doing better than I anticipated that's for sure, looking more like the player many thought he would be.

[QUOTE=JL81790;297267]Does anyone else think that Emily gets hotter every episode? I didn't think it was possible.[/QUOTE] Yes, she's quite gorgeous. Athletic chicks are hot. Her show pics did not do her justice. lol

I think johnny's political skills are unrivaled on this show. I do not like the guy, or approve of his methods, but man he is effective. He is so good at manipulating people. His speech about how he was putting Rachel in the dome because of her alleged questionable character reminded me of a Newt Gingrich debate performance. Johnny's speech was sanctimonious, hypocritical, lacked coherence, was unintentionally hilarious, and yet somehow was strangely effective at appealing to the morons who compose his core constituency, in johnny's case, the other cast members of the challenge.

As I said before, the guy has just gotten **** good out of nowhere. I remember when he was nearly a whipping boy, now he is a master. Guy has crazy pull and very few holes in his game.

There's also the fact that Johnny has everyone kissing his *** in the house because they know that he and his buddies always control **** due to the sheep that blindly follow them and also gets to go last very often.

Smartest thing Johnny did was get in with CT, even though I wish they were on opposite sides going at each other. That would of been interesting to see which cast mates side with who.

I think we're forgetting the fact that he was power couple so he had the only say, there was no voting so he wasnt getting an army behind him, as Rachel said she thinks he's a ******* and I'm sure others do as well. This isnt a political challenge, more like a athletic/team work challenge, FM2 was a political challenge, that one was very mafia-ish. His speech could have been " I love fruit loops, baby monkeys and godzilla" and who he wanted to go in the dome would still go in so he didnt need to convince anyone to do anything. Camilla has been impressive though, didnt think she would do better with her partner than Emily and Diem.

I still think the politics determine who avoids that second spot in the elimination round. I think Johnny and Camilla are trying to manipulate Mark and the other housemates and turn them against Rachel and Aneesa. They could have just put a team in and been honest about why they were doing it, without demonizing that team.

[QUOTE=dreamer;297240]I'm glad all the veterans were getting more screen time, and this entire episode I couldn't help but keep noticing and thinking about how GORGEOUS I think Aneesa is looking this time around. I'm usually not even finding her that attractive but she just keeps looking so good, especially in all her interviews, I'm loving it haha. [B]She also has won an amazing amound of elimination rounds in her challenge history, I can't picture too many people have been in many more than she has been in her reality TV career.[/B] [/QUOTE] If I'm counting correctly, I think Aneesa is 8-3 in elimination rounds. I know she was on BOTS 1 and 2 but I never watched them. I think people were just voted of though without actually being in an elimination round so, I don't count that.

Fun episode. I really liked the challenge. It was probably my favorite challenge of the season so far. Not an original idea for a challenge by any means, but it was a **** sight better than that launch pad ****, which provided some interesting insight into how how lacking these contestants are in trivial knowledge, and some interesting falls, like Cara Maria's falls which were simply outstanding. It's interesting that Diem and CT's biggest problem is communication. I take that back. It's not interesting that that is their biggest problem, it is interesting how they choose to deal with it, which is to complain to everybody else about the fact that they aren't communicating. And then they come to the realization that they have to address their issues with each other. But then they don't, and it's ONWARD TO THE NEXT EPISODE, where we are visited again by snippets of them talking about how much they suck at addressing their issues with each other. UNTIL TONIGHT. A new snippet surfaced which showed them talking at a table about the fact that they both want that money and that they both want to be able to improve their communication. SO THEY HAVE COMMON INTERESTS AND GOALS? GAME CHANGING REVELATION. And what's that I detect? Softening of the facial expressions... Less animosity... More complimentary... A little bit of playful banter... This could only mean one thing: they are going to **** with a gusto and vengeance not seen since Ashton Kutcher rediscovered women his age. BECAUSE THAT IS THE ONLY LOGICAL CONCLUSION. Whenever I engage in playful banter and general polite conversation with a girl, I think to myself "I am so TOTALLY in right now. A-bang, bang, bangity bang I said a-bang bang bangity bang, a-bang bang!" Such trivial and casual and non-implicit interactions result in me entering a situation where I may******** with a 100% success rate. ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. I'm like a satellite-guided CRUISE MISSILE. Seriously though, they're not going to bang. No chance in He-... wait a minute... Is that some dancing I see? Is Diem-In-The-PM trying to entrap CT's interest with her hair flips and fair complexion? TO BE CONTINUED. I'm going to talk about Tyrie and Jasmine. Not because I want to, but I feel it is necessary for an adequate summary of this episode. They are like any other couple in this house. One is headstrong, testosterone driven, and a consummate Alpha Dog. The other is emotional, defensive, and easily rattled. Can you guess which is which? NOT NECESSARY, I'M GOING TO TELL YOU. Jasmine has the big, brass, swingin' balls in this relationship. Tyrie is like that girl that you feel bad for, not because she is always the victim, but because she FEELS LIKE she is always the victim. Tyrie is in need of a good "rogering" (that's British for getting laid) so as to restore her confidence in herself, so that she can rest assured that SOMEONE out there in this wide, desolate, hopeless world of ours will bang her when very, very drunk. Can't talk about Tyrie and Jasmine without talking about the elimination. This one was ho-hum 'cause, well, we've seen it before. I feel like this is the elimination the producers use when they want something that is the equivalent to flipping a coin to figure out who stays and who goes. Whatever. This one was impressive because of the tumbles Tyrie and Jasmine took. That **** looked like it hurt. But whatever, they're gone now. I appreciated CT's commentary before the elimination started. Something about Tyrie against the nagging gremlins, and how it's Tyrie versus a whole bunch of estrogen. That made me giggle in a pseudo-misogynistic sort of way, kind of like when Brick said that periods attract bears in "Anchorman." Also, I like that Abram highlighted another entertaining part of this elimination, which was Jasmine getting her block knocked because she seemed to be averse to any notion of ducking when a large rotating stick came a whizzing towards her noggin. That was way cool. The exit interviews were funny too. Tyrie thinks they are cool, Jasmine hates his guts, Tyrie is glad that his partner had his back (which never happened on camera, from what we were shown), Jasmine is happy they are going their separate ways. MISUNDERSTANDINGS ARE HILARIOUS FOR US VIEWERS. Johnny is the big man on campus right now. All the other dogs are sniffing his *** and walking around with their tail between their legs and being generally subservient in the same way that a serf was subservient to his noble. Since it's hyperbole Thursday, I will use hyperbole to describe Johnny and Camilla's dominance. NEVER HAVE WINNERS WON LIKE THIS. GOD HIMSELF IS IN AWE OF THEIR NOBLE WORKS AND MIGHTY CREATIONS. THE COMPETITION IS UTTERLY LOST AND CONFOUNDED. THIS TEAM IS THE CULMINATION OF MILLIONS OF YEARS OF HUMAN EVOLUTION. Don't have much to say about Rachel and Aneesa. They were nonexistent until now. WHAT?! RACHEL IS UNTRUSTWORTHY?! WHAT?! ANEESA IS PERSONALLY AFFRONTED THAT SHE IS UP FOR CONSIDERATION IN ELIMINATIONS?! Sometimes, it is a comfort to know some things never change. This is not one of those times. Side note: I thought it was rich that during deliberation, a snippet of Cara Maria was shown in which she was basically saying Rachel and Aneesa need to grow a pair and GET USED TO THE FACT THEY ARE GOING TO THE DOME. Great advice. So few competitors have the mettle and self-assuredness that Cara Maria has. I cannot recall a single time in which she whined, or complained, or cried in preparation for an elimination, or when facing any kind of adversity ever. Except on Fresh Meat 2 when her and Darrell were up for elimination. And on Cutthroat when Laurel did not think her an adequate competitor. And on Rivals, pretty much the entire last half of the season. And on Exes when her and Abram were almost up for elimination until Leroy and Naomi **** the bed in the trivia questions. That's every challenge she's ever done. POINT MADE. I'm way excited about the return of bat**** crazy Camilla. She was absent from last season. And it was a **** shame. But she is BACK with a vengeance. AND SHE'S GOING TO KILL JOHNNY. What is this? Dysfunction within the Dream Team? This is like what I always expected would happen when Rodman got traded to the Bulls in the mid-90s, but never did. Except this time, IT IS HAPPENING. Gird your loins, friends.

Sneak peek for next week's episode: [center][/center]

Supposedly, in real life Camila often goes nuts when she's drunk. Might be even worse on challenges. She tossed that chair like nothing lol.

To the posters that say Mark is good-looking for his age, yes RubenJay and I agreed a month ago on that xD About the episode, I'm going to mention some things that maybe people have seen, but didn't mention or probably haven't caught. In the beginning of the show when they were on the beach hanging out, I loved how everyone was chilling and having fun, and I noticed Emily showing off her soccer skills which was entertaining. Finally, during the challenge, when Ty and Emily rolled down on the line he couldn't hold on longer and messed up the flow of the roll causing both him and Emily to fall down early, thus them swimming longer. Whereas Camilla and Johnny were able to hang on longer causing them to have a shorter swim. Although I don't like Johnny nor Camilla, I applaud them for winning.

She didn't. Beth declined to participate because she believed the event was essentially demeaning to women with the idea being that one or both participants would pull down or up the top of the other woman.

[QUOTE=Calinks;297345]Supposedly, in real life Camila often goes nuts when she's drunk. Might be even worse on challenges.

That probably would have been more entertaining, at least in my opinion.

[quote][B]Entire Remaining Cast[/B] (The Challenge, Various GRTFL Teams), 25 points: At approximately 10:22 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on February 13, 2012, TJ Lavin declared, “You guys killed it! Nice work! That was amazing! Everybody did a really good job!” thus creating a glitch in the Kill It Time Continuum (25 points). TJ, EVERYONE CANNOT KILL IT! That is not how killing it works. Once someone kills it, it is therefore dead so what is everyone else killing? We’ve created a “killed it” monster. I think I need to write TJ a 3,000-word e-mail about how "killing it" works. [Ed. note: Can we get our MIT guy to explain it to him with theoretical physics?] [B]Johnny and Camilla[/B] (The Challenge, Lisanti) 25 points: Oh, now Johnny Bananas and Camilla killed it too (25 points)? Now you’re just messing with me, TJ. I know you are hip to this whole league, have your own team, and are padding your stats. You’re basically Pete Rose without the awesome haircut. [B]Rachel and Aneesa[/B] (The Challenge, Kang), 10 points: Hey, The Challenge Producers! Just because you blew our minds with the trivia/spelling/catapult challenge last week doesn’t mean we won’t notice if you completely mail it in the next week. The Dome challenge that Rachel and Aneesa won (10 points) looked like a reject from the Double Dare research and development department, and the “hold on to this log and swim” thing was shot at the same lagoon as the trivia/spelling/catapult challenge. That lagoon is dangerous. The combination of steroid runoff, STD juice, and Aneesa blood that has been spilled into those waters is likely to combine and form some type of deadly mutant chupacabra. If you honeymoon in the Dominican this summer I would steer clear of all lagoons. You do not want to meet The Challenge cast’s spore monster. [B]Robin[/B] (The Challenge, Kang), 5 points: I leave you with this image: Robin on her ninth season of The Challenge, inslopsicated, in tears (5 points), in bed screaming through sobs, “I would never want to lose my dignity. And the reason is that it is not just me it is my child. I would never want to lose my integrity.” Fear not, Robin, you made that sacrifice long ago.[/quote] [url=http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-prospectus/post/_/id/43822/reality-fantasy-league-scorecard-all-hail-the-howard-cosell-of-coitus]via[/url]

Haha I love those.

Okay am I the only one who thinks Paula looks creepy with the lion face paint?

[QUOTE=cystic;297392]Okay am I the only one who thinks Paula looks creepy with the lion face paint?[/QUOTE] Her layers of makeup, plus the face paint serves the justice.

In the latest commercial, I keep laughing because they make Camila look flat out psycho. They show her rolling slam that big chair down like nothing, then we see people are holding her back as she screams "Ill kill you!!!" through mascara stained tears. Then they show Johnny watching from a safe distance mouth agape. And the cherry on top, is they cut to a fully clothed Camilia in a skirt, just causally walking into a pool like she's horribly disturbed and going to drown herself or something. :laugh2: [B]Masterpiece Editing Theatre! [/B]

They are showing an exes marathon right now. I haven't seen one of thsoe in a long time, they hardly showed reruns of Cutthroat. Guessing that's a good sign.

Yeah I was watching the marathon. Man, Mark is acting really weird like what was the point of him acting that way towards Rachel over Johnny. So pathetic. And to even argue with Johnny? Even more trifle. Hopefully karma gets him next challenge. [QUOTE=Raymond21;297404]Camila casually walking into the pool is, hands down, the best part. So, so creepy looking.[/QUOTE] I know right? I was like wth is doing. I found it to be really funny on her part though. And lol@ the Robin one. That was hilarious. But I still love her regardless.
