[B]Johnny[/B]:
Did he just shower with a... dog?
Yelling at Ana was uncalled for.
"That sucks, Nia! Now I'm gonna have to go pick up the **** you smeared. It's so unfair!"
[B]Nia[/B]:
I would've reacted just like her about stepping in ****. Especially in my ******* house. It's disgusting. You shouldn't have to touch anybody's feces but your own, or your babies'.
**** at her calling Daisy "triflin"
[B]Averey[/B]:
"Other people would be like 'Well I stepped in it, might as well clean it up'" LOL no. what kind of logic of this? It's your dog, you take care of it. Better yet, don't bring it to a ******* RW house.
The way she blew Ana off was just rude, some friend she is.
[B]Marlon[/B]: The "bro's" and "yo's" in every sentence...
"Let em fight!" was he thinking about ratings or would he really let his friends fight IRL... hm?
[B]Ana[/B]: YES BIRD YES. Tell that bish!
[B]Jordan[/B]: Am I the only one who thought he looked really hot during the fight? Love that cute little smirk he was giving Nia at the end of the episode... *swoons*

[QUOTE=TheFeedMachi;347212]People keep trying to compare this fight to the CT fight, but the way production handled it was completely different. With CT, they tried to stop the fight but were unable to do so. As v1man mentioned earlier, members of production were hurt because of what CT was doing. Production's lack of involvement in this is what is absolutely appalling. After Nia assaulted Johnny and Jordan broke it up, production should have stepped in and sent her home right then. Instead they let it continue when they were perfectly capable of stopping it.
As for why CT is a fan favorite and Nia is not, CT has shown remorse for his actions and had a redemption story arc on Rivals. People love a redemption story. It is why Ray Lewis was so popular.[/QUOTE]
Nia just got on the show/franchise and shouldn't be compared to CT especially when he's been around for 10 years the 25th.
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;347279]Yes because its a crime to be black and angry. Get real, please.[/QUOTE]
haha, it's not a crime, but I'm sure she isn't angry in real life. I know noone would ever want to be called an angry person of any race, cause that would be horrid. Cause who actually wants to be known as an angry person? It's a TV show, so people will throw criticism like Nia is the "angry black girl" or Jess is a "whiny brat" or Johnny is a "whipped baby" etc. All celebrities, no matter which list they fall under, are usually good at shrugging out critical comments from the general public.
Maybe except for Amanda Bynes.
I believe violence is acceptable in certain situations, aka as last resort. Nia pounding on Johnny and then using a blow-drier just because he poured a drink on her was unecessary. Provoked, yes, but the punishment didn't fit the crime, so to say . On the other hand, Averey stepping in and fighting Nia was necessary; somebody she loved was in danger and she defended him, since clearly no one else cared enough to intervene.
BMP has been getting more and more lenient with fights (that goes for BGC as well). I remember when Trisha got sent for that incredibly weak push. Or when they wanted to sent Puck home for spitting in that guy's face.
Now they're just letting people do whatever they want.So with that formula, things like Nia hitting men with metal objects and no one intervening was bound to happen. I'm not surprised, and that's not a good thing.
It's entertaining, yes, and good for discussion, but there's a point when you gotta question the ethics behind it. And saying "dude it's just a TV show, it's for ratings" is kind of a copout

Lol um not really. That's just what it is. We can all say our opinions and thoughts but at the end of the day that's ultimately what it comes down to and I doubt this situation is gonna stop them the next time.
Just an observation: So where the heck is that clip shown in the trailer where Averey shouting to Johnny: "You can't do that!?" . It looked like they were wearing the same clothing as they did in this episode.
Unless that happens next week of course.
Some of you are dangerously close to violating the terms of service (and some of you have already crossed it and will be getting infractions)...watch it.
No need to tell someone to "get real" or "get the facts straight" or "get off your high horse".
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;347289]It has nothing to do with upbringing you know. By the way you can step off your high horse now.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I agree. I don't think what Nia did was right. However...
You can think she's a HORRIBLE human being because of it, whatever. But saying that those who don't think what she did was the worst thing on the planet haven't been properly raised is really insulting.
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;347287]Best post ever. I love me some Nia.[/QUOTE]

That's next week's episode.
[QUOTE=brunett;347265]they wont be traveling 3000 miles just to extradite her back to Portland on a misdemeanor domestic dispute[/QUOTE]
When Nia was waiting outside the room waiting for Johnny with the blow dryer, she had a weapon and was planning on attacking him. This makes it an aggravated assault and makes extradition more likely.

But it is sometime the truth. i hardly see that as insulting. Whatever happened to thick skin? We're all adults here and should be treated as such. I didn't mean for it to come across as such.

It's actually, "I can't do that". I love how Nia slapped Averey upside her hair. Very classic.

To be honest, Amanda should take Averey's place because Amanda really deserves that knock upside the head.

Members come and go. Most of you don't recall when I was a moderator here during vevmo's early years, so I'll offer some advice I gave to many then, including new moderators.
-- Discussion of actions by moderators can not be allowed. This is standard across most major sites. Why? Because the membership can not be in a position to question the decisions of moderators. It's disruptive and undermines their authority. It's like umpires calling balls and strikes. You can complain about them, but you are likely headed to the showers if you complain in public.
Send a mod an email if you have a problem. Chances are you will receive an intelligent response with an explanation. In the end, you may not agree with a decision but by PM dialogue you may come to understand the decision.
Moderators at vevmo are volunteers. Imagine being a volunteer who has to take **** from people who hide behind anonymous screen names. It's a wonder everyone isn't given a time out now and then.
In mod circles elsewhere, comments about moderating are often called "litter." I'll do my best not to cause the creation of litter, and maybe we can all be a little more ecco-friendly to each other.
molds13, thanks for your "service." :)
Yeah I have nothing against Molds or you V1 I just think that what happened was not justified. You're right it should be kept to pm. I apologize in advanced if this cause any problems.
"i'm strong enough as a christian woman to give a christian man what he needs in a christian wife"
We get it, girl. You're religious.
I've also noticed that Jessica answers almost any conversation or questions like she is in a miss america pageant.

What does that even mean? It sounds like she was trying to dodge the things Bird said. Jessica needs a reality check if she thinks marriage is a Disney fairy tail. She's the sort of girl who'll get married, give up the V, then discover a few months later that she's living in this thibg called reality.

Same goes for Mariah and Nick, lol. I still love me some Jessica though. i can't help it even if I'm "thirsty and junk".
Nia is a coward...attacking a man who you know won't fight back, and then to try and attack him with a weapon is even more pathetic. Johnny has had a pretty wild temper throughout the season but you have to take your hat off to him to not only ignore his natural instincts of fighting back, but to pull Aevery back multiple times. (Nia is a much bigger girl than Aevery too)
So next week we are for sure going to get a preview for Rivals II right? I have Real World recorded & wait 20 minutes after it's already on air to start from the beginning so I can skip through commercials and this time I slowly skipped through the commercials so I can catch a commercial for The Challenge but they didn't do one :(

Ya they usually just play the trailer at the end of the reunion not in between commercials, so I'll be sure to skip the whole reunion and just watch the last 5 minutes
Violence issue aside, did anyone actually think it was Nia's responsibility to clean up the dog ***? Sure, it would've been courteous, but that's Avery's dog, so Avery should be responsible for any and all messes caused by the dog.

I think in that situation, Nia should've cleaned it, but in general I don't think so. If Nia just spotted dog **** around the house I don't think she's responsible for cleaning it up...even if she feeds the dog and walks it here and there. BUT, if I'm in my house and I step on ****, and I smush it into the carpet I would've just cleaned it up because it's the right thing to do.
