[QUOTE=kching;355551]Is it me or is Zach cooler and a lot funnier, when he isn't running around with Frank?[/QUOTE]
To be fair I don't think it has anything to do with being friends with Frank, I mean he certainly wasn't his buddy on their RW season, but Zach was still horribly bland....
Surprisingly, I really like Zach this season.;
[QUOTE=RMD1;355532]Regarding the Knight/Marlon situation:
People need to learn the difference between an offensive comment and a joke. There should be some type of malicious intent or flat out ignorance for a comment to be considered offensive.[/QUOTE]
I think it's quite easy to make an offensive remark without being malicious. Whether a comment is offensive really depends on the person on the receiving end as well as the "joke" itself. Knight's "joke" wasn't funny to me in any shape, form, or manner. I found it crude, tacky, and tasteless - something Knight readily admits to in the aftershow. And I don't blame Marlon for his reaction. I normally don't endorse violence, but I recognize his need to confront Knight. If he lets comments like that slide in that house, he'll be catching flack for the duration of his stay there. Better to let Knight and subsequently everyone else know that he's not cool with crap like that. I know I wouldn't be had I been in his shoes.
I didn't watch Marlon's real world, but I find it admirable that he's able to openly admit his bisexuality on TV. Being male and black, the stigma just seems much more difficult for someone in his shoes.
And Sarah, I'm mostly ambivalent about her and don't care either way what happens to her. I must admit that her reaction to Knight's comment seemed a bit over the top. Sometimes I get the feeling that her whole Miss Sunshine attitude is forced.

I stated ignorance is a factor as well, which wasn't there, IMO. Sure it was crude but not because of his sexuality, but because he was performing oral sex, but hey, it's the challenge. You need to expect that stuff. I found it funny. I would've fond it funny if he was talking about anyone TBH.
I agree with you that Marlon is courageous. ********ity is a confusing thing for me personally to understand. I'm not sure if I necessarily believe in it.
And for him to be black and openly ******** is HUGE. There aren't that many black gay /******** masculine role models for young black kids. Very admirable.
for those saying Sarah would be with Jordan for Exes 2, I would guess that they would probably put Jordan with Nia for ratings.
However Sarah really deserves a win and I would hope BMP puts her in a better position after basically screwing her over twice. Maybe production can forgive Alton for his behavior and he agrees to come back for Exes, or they do a Duel for he next one where she would have a great shot.
[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;355572]Hopefully we'll never see her again if she sticks to her word.[/QUOTE]
I doubt she will ever be back, she made a fool of herself.
Dude what happened to Trishelle? I remember on her season, which obviously was years ago but still... she was super normal, kind of clingy but she was never bat**** crazy.
Now she's like that girl who got hold of some bad coke or weed in college and never has been the same ever since. I never knew she was that crazy.
Knight is a ignorant ********* for what he did to Marlon but I don't get why he got so upset to the point where he wanted to fight him. It's Knight, you shouldn't even take him seriously enough to where he upsets you to that point.
Trishelle totally made a fool of her self ONCE AGAIN. She's really not looking good. She was so much better on The Gauntlet/Inferno. And I would rag on her for leaving. But from the things I've read about Production and the fact that her partner was Sarah. I fully support it.
Knight was an Idiot and I fully support Marlon's Beating his ***. I didn't like that fact that he joked about Marlon's sexuality. And I liked that Marlon got some *** TWICE This episode. The Portland Guys are getting lots and lots of Sexytime.
Paula Emily wins AGAIN! WHAT A SHOCKER. They keep on going like this they may win the whole challenge on the Women's side.
I don't support the Robb and Derek Going it. And once again. We have people who are Barley veterans themselves talking about this "Rookies gotta Prove themselves BS" I swear it never changes.
I was kinda shocked that Robb/Derek lost, I thought for sure Robb/Derek was going to win that.
I liked that Elimination Round. It harkens back to the days of the Gauntlet/Inferno and I liked that. Not Every Challenge/Elimination Round Needs to Be ESPN Extreme.
One more thing.Robb was looking Kinda hot this episode. I've never found him Attractive Before but he was looking Yummy tonight.

I agree that Jordan and Nia will likely be partners on Exes 2. They don't want two people who have great chemistry and who will likely get along as partners. Adding Nia to the Challenge would definitely cause more drama seeing as how she can **** people off and the fact that her an Jordan have a bipolar relationship.
This is a bit off topic seeing as how they aren't on this Challenge but I would also love to see Swift and LaToya as partners on a Exes 2!
Woah people come on now people want Knight/Jemmye on Exes 2 with Jordan/Nia and Swift/Latoya... one thing all three of those team would have in common is DRAMA. I love it.
[QUOTE=Fullback12;355593]I love Knight but if, him and Marlon fought it wouldn't have been good for Knight.[/QUOTE]
Marlon wouldn't do **** anyway, he's a poser.
Come on you can't be serious... Marlon got into 3 fights in Portland but, it never made the show because it was with locals and it didn't fit the story line. I'm pretty sure if Marlon and Knight got into a fight at a bar or something... I hate to say it because I like Knight, but Marlon would beat him up.
Knight's a jerk, but that's nothing new. He's not my favorite character, but his bluntness is still entertaining.
Glad Marlon's standing up for himself.
Trishelle's attempt at explaining herself had me dying, the girl was sooo drunk
LMAO at Aneesa just manhandling Trishelle when she lunged at her. She just had her hand on her face and carried on with her conversation while Trishelle was struggling like an idiot. Bada**
Sarah's voice when she cries is like nails on a chalkboard. I mean, I legit have to mute the sound cause it makes me cringe. I still feel bad for her though.
Marlon and Nany? Wow, didn't see that one coming, especially on Nany's part
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;355316]Lol the stripper line reminds me of a vevmo person who is a know it all. No offense.[/QUOTE]
Names! :P
[QUOTE=wutzrenzi;355462]Before the cameras panned away, yeah.[/QUOTE]
Ok...?
She has no reason to lie about this, she's already had sex on national tv before.
[QUOTE=bruistopher;355484]Well she did say that she was more like a Tom-boy growing up. She plays sports.[/QUOTE]
Playing sports doesn't make you a tomboy.
[QUOTE=johan86;355495]Always love Trishelle, but is not his best night. Sarah need a real life and real friend, my tv hate his face.[/QUOTE]
I don't... uh... wut
[QUOTE=Debut Album;355588]Robb was looking Kinda hot this episode. I've never found him Attractive Before but he was looking Yummy tonight.[/QUOTE]
I agree with you.
For me, the scruff that did it. He usually has a clean shave, but his beard was noticeably longer, it made him look more mature.
It was pretty obvious that Knight didn't want to step up and fight Marlon. If you have ever been in a confrontation you can tell when someone actually wants to fight. Knight barely tried to get past the people holding him.
A couple more thoughts from the episode:
1) I really admire Leroy. He's just such a nice, stand up guy. He didn't impersonate Marlon because he didn't know him well enough. I wish Ty would step it up this challenge because Leroy (with a good partner) would most likely win.
2) How the hell does Zach know about Golden Girls? Very funny comment though.
3) Frank patting himself on the shoulder after him and Jonny won the challenge... please. I'm not impressed.
Not really Marlon clearly could have hit Knight also, Marlon did alot of circling instead of stepping up. I really don't think none of them were scared of the other but, I do think if they were to fight Marlon would've won.
Johnny did something that he's never done this episode.
He Made me laugh. That little comment about his *** being the carrot dangled in front of Frank for him to follow Johnny was actually funny.

I got a good laugh out of that too haha! Johnny has been much more likable this challenge for me.
[QUOTE=Nostalgic;355373]Nah but Landon is way to ******* boring.
Na[/QUOTE]
What, Landon? He's one of my favorite castmembers ever. And he's attractive. Double win.
I want to hear Trishelle's side of the story, she has a lot of animosity towards like half the cast but her only arguements were with CT and Aneesa and I find it hard to believe that the Aneesa argument was like the straw that broke the camel's back, she was so dunk and **** faced that she probably had no idea what she was saying, who she was saying it too, what time or day it is, which country she was in, it was like watching a person on drugs. So ya I'm sure theres some back story to her madness, hope she will share.
I also thought it was funny during the challenge when CT said to Wes " I got you, trust me!" lol that was cheesy and cute, it was like a line out of an action movie when the girl is about to plummet to her death and the guy tells her that and pulls her up lol theyre bonding its cute
and Johnnys carrot comment was funny too :P
I just noticed Jemmeye being an instigator in this fight, haha.
Zach's golden girl comment was hilarious. But I hate how everyone makes old jokes about folks that are 3-5 years older than them.

I want to hear Trishelle's side of the story as well. Hopefully she can articulate herself better than she did on the show.
From observations it seemed that she didn't have very many friends on there, the conditions were rough (hot weather, intense challenges, lots of fighting), she had a phony partner she didn't jibe well with, and she also seems a bit crazy/high maintenance.
