[QUOTE=rdp8203;352647]Does anyone else here feel completely blown away with how well Diem did on the Challenge last night? She came in 3rd, but this is a woman who just finished Chemo not long ago. I find her amazing and such a role model for people faced with crisis.[/QUOTE]
I agree. I was kind of surprised that she and Aneesa weren't shown very much during the actual challenge.

That was very impressive! Go Diem!
Diem is such an amazing person. I loved her to death since Fresh Meat. She is awesome and I wish her nothing but the best on this challenge and in life.
CT is being confusing, he put an old pic of him and Diem from duel 1 as his tbt...cute pic but ya Diem doesnt seem to want anything to do with him or at least doesnt want pics with him, I guess he's trying to say theyre buddies
Diem does follow CT on Instagram so I do think she has some affection for him. Are they close friends who hang out a lot outside the challenge, maybe not, but this idea that she wants nothing to do with being seen with him is inaccurate. She definitely is not interested in a relationship with him, but I do think she likes him. I did see a picture of CT and Diem kissing on CT's Twitter page (a screencap from Rivals 2). I have not seen anything from Duel 1 that CT has posted. I was watching a rerun of the challenge tonight and a commercial was shown for the next show. It showed CT asking Diem if she likes him or not and she seemed to be begging off, lol. I do think it is obvious that CT might care for Diem more than Diem cares for CT, but I do think Diem has affection for him.

Then one of us is completely wrong... Actually no one said she had no affection for him, just that there was an absence of truth (PT Barnum style) in the MTV hype of all things Diem/CT in promoting the season.
As I mentioned last week, they hung out together recently after a unplanned meeting at the premier of the The Heat in NYC. It was cordial, civil and even friendly, but not romantic.
Glad to see this thread open again! I'm hopeful that we'll see more of Aneesa and Diem this week, even though it isn't a female elimination.
Aneesa mentioned in an interview that she and Diem left as rivals, despite that they came in on good terms. That's kind of upsetting - I was glad that they were in each other's good graces again. What's weird is that it seems like they have only nice things to say about each other now on their social networks, so maybe Aneesa was exaggerating? Or they're just being civil until **** goes down on the show. I kind of doubt that, though. If a rivalry developed, hopefully they've just managed to get past it already.
Not sure if this is off topic, but when do they usually film the reunion? Has that already happened?
Some (not sure how many) aftershows were shot in LA the day of the premier -- without the cast knowing how the intervening episodes are edited-odd. The Reunion will likely be recorded around ep 9 or 10 at MTV in New York.
My impression would be that Aneesa was following the PR standard. The cast (and we) are supposed to suspend disbelief until Rivals II airs completely. Some cast members are better at this than others. They are supposed to maintain a current public posture equal to the relationship that exists in the edit of the show in the timeline of the broadcast. Frankly, some cast members just suck at doing this. It's just not natural.
Just visited the MTV website to see if there were any new trailers and I noticed that they have a new ad. The ad says, "Who's the fakest in the house" and Diem's picture is on the ad.
I am not the biggest Diem fan but, I think she is getting a really bad edit. Of course the entire season has not finished but, we have seen on trailers that Diem seems to get into it with a lot of people this challenge. I know that are doing this whole, "Diem is not an angel" storyline but, I think they are going to far. People(fans) on social media websites are going in on her and with the trailers that are coming out it only seems to be getting worse. At this point. I wonder if Diem will be redeemable in the eyes of the fans or if this is just how the season is going to play out for her.

I'm incredibly impressed with Diem as a competitor and as a person. Speaking from my own personal experience with cancer and chemo, I am simply ....amazed at how strong of a woman she is. I went through chemo last year and was physically weakened to the point that it took me months to recover and return to my normal weight, and even then, it's been a struggle. For her to be on this show and show that she's a fighter and a strong competitor is a motivation for me, because I found out a few days ago that the cancer returned and that I'll be going through another big fight. She's an inspiration, simply put. I truly hope she understands how much of an impact she has on people going through similar struggles.

I love Diem to a certain but I'm not surprised her picture was attached to that. She's cool but the focus on her much less her voice does get aggravating more than Camila's sometime. But then again I rather hear or hear Diem talk than some of the other competitors.

leroy did just say in an interview he likes diem off the show but on the show he wishes she would have asked him if they were on her side rather thsn jusr believe wes and her true colors came out on rivals 2... Atleast in leroys opinion.. He also felt she played/plays a scared game

Leroy is not really objective on this one though. He got voted in by her. But like Diem said in her blog. Ty said at dinner that they were gonna vote for her and Aneesa wich seems logical because they are better friends with some of the other girl teams. She is in alliance with Wes and sees him like a brother so ofcourse she will trust his advice

I agree with the person above, Leroy really does not see things objectively. I would never have thought Leroy would take things so personal, he says he understands its a game but clearly he doesnt. Diem said Aneesa told Leroy and Ty they were going to vote for them so they werent blind sighted by Diem/Aneesa. I just feel he's playing the victim which is unfortunate since I really liked that Leroy was so chill and didnt take things personally but he totally does. What does he mean Diem should have asked him if they were on her side?? What was he going to tell her? No iam with you 100%? Thats a lie and he cant be that stupid to think Diem has his back over Wes and Johnny, thats no secret just like how Wes and Johnny know that Nany and Theresa probably (in theory) would side with leroy over W/J. Like come on there isnt that many people left, these ppl have to stop acting so shocked when another team "doesnt have their back" you cant have everyones back! There are obviously alliances and people have to get eliminated and Diem makes it very clear that her main alliances are with wes and Johnny, and I can see her looking out for Knight cause the guys want him to stay cause he sucks and he will do w/e the girls say, the rest of the guys are expendable. She didnt have to believe Wes, she knew it for herself but I think he just wants someone to blame, it kinda reminds me of what Laurel said, sometimes people just like to blame Wes. Trying to get rid of Leroy was a smart move and Leroy is just mad that he couldnt stop it

I actually think the issue is diem has her alliance and aneesa seens to be trying to make hers too which obv would upset one of the sides.. I think leroy said aneesa never told him that and didnt want him to go in but diems calling the shots on there team so aneesa shouldnt be playing both sides it may screw them over .. Aneesa didnt want to vote them in which makes me think she never told ty and leroy anything.. Not diems fault but i am not sure aneesa/diem are on the same page at all.. They have been an ok team so far performance wise but everyone but paula/emily havent been great
[QUOTE=JEKFAN;359411]Diem, Emily, Paula, and Camila are calling the shots. They're all obviously close from Exes so they are working together.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. And I love it.

Diem did say in her blog that she talked to Ty before the voting and Aneesa talked to Leroy but Leroy is acting as if Aneesa did not say anything to him before the voting. I think it would be interesting to get Aneesa and Leroy on a joint interview together to clear up the confusion.

I thought that was a weird statement to make on Leroy's part. His statement of playing a scared game is also a "girls can't play" put down. I thought Diem's tweets and people.com blog did a good job outlining what her thought process was to make this vote. Is there anything more scared game playing than to burn your vote? I think Leroy/Ty did that twice.

lol then someones lying. If Aneesa didnt actually tell them then thats a ****ty move, but Diem aparentlly told Ty so I'm sure he would have told Leroy. I dont get what Aneesa is doing, at this point in the game you should have your alliances figured out. If Ty told you he's going to vote for you then what are you doing keeping him around? She may be playing both sides for sure maybe she doesnt care about Johnny/Frank cause Ive never seen her have anything to do with Johnny but still since the guys she does seem to be friends with (Wes and CT) want Leroy out next and so does Diem, (maybe CT doesnt want Leroy out but he did not seem to object the decision at all in the episode and he was laughing about it right after) then she should go with it. Maybe Aneesa wanted Johnny/Frank to go in but I doubt the rest of the girls will let that happen. And I personally dont think Diem is playing a scared game, she's taking risks and thats not playing scared, you kinda have to be paranoid (to a reasonable amount) and get ppl out before they get you. Leroy was playing the scared game wit the throwaway votes

What we are not seeing is that the decisions of team Aneesa/Diem are joint decisions. It is my opinion, however, that Aneesa is cozying up to the other side as part of the overall alliance strategy. As Wes says, everyone has their role to play.
[QUOTE=skimthrough;359414]Agreed. And I love it.[/QUOTE]
The only thing i don't get is why the other girls don't try to form an alliance to save their guys but keep throwing votes

Good Point.
cant wait to watch the reunion, i really wanna know where CT and Diem stand together.
i was very upset to find out CT has a new gf thats not diem so sad, i've always been #teamCTandDiem :(
i know there still following each other on IG but i noticed within that one week CT got with his gf he stopped liking any of diem's pics, whats confusing is if CT and Diem were just friends it wouldnt matter if he continued to like her pics.
I also noticed that after CT started posting pics with his gf, diem started posting pics that made it look like she was trying to make him jealous

jikharoufeh.....I think where CT and Diem stand is a friendship, which is cool right? My advice, root for CT and Diem all you want and ignore anyone that tells you not to. :) Also I don't think CT and Diem are that calculating about their instagram and Twitter to try to make one another jealous that way. I'd like to think both of them are a little more mature than that.
