The Challenge: Rivals II - Aneesa & Diem

[QUOTE=Imjustsayin;359972]Right. And you know V1man knows everything about Diem...EVERYTHING.[/QUOTE] LOL I know right ! Nobody knows every little thing about Diem or CT or about their past relationship, current friendship or whatever, and they definantly don't know what might happen in their future. We love CT/DIEM, so let it be and don't tell people to get over it!

[QUOTE=V1man;359996]Hey, have at it. I've simply been trying to keep people from embarrassing themselves.[/QUOTE] Seriously though, what is the worst we could feel about ourselves if we were wrong. Let's say for the sake of argument we were wrong and CT and Diem don't have anything to do with one another ever again and all of the CT and Diem fans are proven wrong about even so much as a friendship, I hardly think anyone is going to go jump off the Golden Gate Bridge from embarrassment or just feel like they are going to die inside. It's a TV show! I mean obviously if they are not even friends and I am wrong about that I might be a little disappointed but I will get over it. I think people can take care of themselves and their own feelings but thanks for the concern!

It takes so much courage to put yourself out there; kudos to Diem. My three takeaways: choose to be happy; take me as I am; be compassionate, offer comfort.

So Diem mentions in her blog that she found out someone was trying to bring her down mentally in a Malicious Way- Im assuming this is Cooke?

word. i agree with you 100% i am still a CT/Diem fan and when i found out he had a different girlfriend i was upset but then i got over it. i was just wondering if they are on good terms with one another, if not its sad but oh well

[QUOTE=Christy1;360031]So Diem mentions in her blog that she found out someone was trying to bring her down mentally in a Malicious Way- Im assuming this is Cooke?[/QUOTE] Yeah it's Cooke.

I don't think anyone knows. This is CT we are talking about, lol. He is known to get with lots of different girls so who knows if he is serious with someone or not.

I was reading the comments from fans under Diem's latest blog and Diem actually responded to a few of the posts. There were some people who were supporting her and some people criticizing her and Diem responded to both supporters and criticizers. In one post Diem said she was not sure why the editors seem to have targeted her this season. I think it's good Diem wants to interact with her fans online but I think it can be dangerous for Diem to read too many things because at the end of the day these are just other people's opinions. I hope Diem doesn't feel she has to respond to every negative thing written about her or read every negative thing online. Maybe she doesn't....maybe she just responded to those few posts because they happened to be right underneath where her blog was at. I just think she needs to be careful not to take too much to heart of what people say. People online are always going to have a million different opinions about a person and it is very easy for mean people to hide behind a computer screen and just say anything and I would hate it if Diem let that stuff get to her or bother her. Maybe she truly can read it and allow it to roll off her back, I don't now. I just know there are many celebrities who choose to stay away from the online world for this exact reason. Even popular celebrities are going to have their supporters and their haters online, that is just par for the course dealing with the Internet, you can't please everyone. I see Diem trying to defend herself to folks online and caring perhaps too much what other people think, which can be easy to do if you read it...but if you don't read it to begin with, you can drown it out. Anyway, I really do enjoy reading her blogs and I am glad that she gives insight but I just hope she doesn't let things get to her too much mentally. She does seem like a strong girl but when I saw that she responded to some negative comments under her blog....I was thinking to myself, why even give them the time of day, don't even respond, it's not worth it....your giving the haters more attention than they deserve. Also I feel it's a no-win situation for her too because as soon as she checks a couple haters on a message board, more show up. It's like feeding a dark beast. I just want Diem to focus on the positive.

[QUOTE=Christy1;360031]So Diem mentions in her blog that she found out someone was trying to bring her down mentally in a Malicious Way- Im assuming this is Cooke?[/QUOTE] Appears to be so.

[QUOTE=nmanderson;360099]Appears to be so.[/QUOTE] Kind of weird, because Cooke said she grew up and learned her lesson from Vegas, and that we would not see much drama from her on The Challenge...

[QUOTE=PaintedVeil;360127]Kind of weird, because Cooke said she grew up and learned her lesson from Vegas, and that we would not see much drama from her on The Challenge...[/QUOTE] That is what opportunists say in the face of criticism.

I just checked out the comments for Diem's People Magazine Blog, ouch! It's unfortunate that people are taking a television show so seriously. On the other hand, I think Diem would be well advised to keep the contents of her blog focused on moving forward after her second bout of cancer. I think the tips for dealing with stress, how to communicate with/to/about someone who is going through chemo are very helpful and obviously insightful. Useful information for people to have, shared by someone who has dealt with this dreadful disease twice, should be what the blog is about. On another note, I don't like the comments about the "unnamed" girl on the challenge threatening to break her down. Diem, by her own admission, never discussed this threat with the "unnamed" girl. If this comment bothered her so much she should have discussed it with the person involved in making the statement. Who knows what led to this being said, perhaps the person heard that Diem was involved in the decision to throw her in to every elimination round, or the decision to place her first in every competition. Maybe it was said after Diem made a rap about Nany and the person was ticked off about that. We don't know the context in which the statement was made, and neither does Diem. There are too many unanswered questions here. I'm not going to judge Diem for the way she chooses to play the game and the same goes for the other cast members.

Trouble in paradise? Sneak peek for episode 7 now posted @ [url=http://www.mtv.com/videos/misc/947079/ep-7-sneak-peek.jhtml#id=1712470]Ep. 7 | Sneak Peek | Video | MTV[/url] Diem and Aneesa are starting to get on each other's nerves. FRANK is the most reasonable one in the trailer. Enjoy!

Thanks for posting nmanderson! I find that amusing! LOL! :highly_amused:

[QUOTE=Christy1;360148]I hope Cooke doesn't get away with whatever her plan is and gets called out for it[/QUOTE] I hope the opposite.

I'm guessing this is part of why they "left as rivals" (according to Aneesa).

[QUOTE=skimthrough;360243]This is amusing. I'm glad we'll finally see them interact outside of the challenge and elimination voting settings. I'm guessing this is part of why they "left as rivals" (according to Aneesa).[/QUOTE] I was just saying the same thing to my friend the other day, that I am glad to see them interact outside of voting. To me this type of fight is really no big deal though, something to easily get over, lol, like a small bump in the road. I think Aneesa was just playing up the whole Rivals aspect of the show in interviews to create more interest but really her and Diem seem friendly now to me.

"If I could change one to five things about Diem" hahahahahhahaha--love her sometimes

[QUOTE=stefx23;360045]Yeah it's Cooke.[/QUOTE] Sorry if I didn't quote this correctly. I'm replying to the topic of Diem mentioning a malicious girl in her blog and the assumption/confirmation that it's Cooke (not sure which it is.) This may be surprising, but I'm new to Twitter, and it's addicting to go in and read what the Challengers write after each episode. I noticed that Cooke seems to be back pedaling in her tweets regarding Diem. She write about her strength, how she was only trying to convince the guys to throw them in to save herself (nothing personal) and then she says that she doesn't think Diem is fake. She only said that Diem is fake, because she thought that Cara would guess Diem. So, I also noticed that Diem doesn't respond to any of these clarifications. Maybe it's because she [I]was[/I] referring to Cooke and she doesn't believe her sweet tweets. I would have a hard time believing her when she makes a comment like, "Diem doesn't deserve to be here" in her confessional, but then tweets that it was nothing personal after the show airs.

I do follow cast members on Twitter but Cooke is not a person that I follow so I didn't know all of that. I kind of think Diem was right to be suspicious of Cooke and I do think Cooke perhaps had an issue with Diem while on the challenge but now that the challenge is over perhaps Cooke had time to sit down and think and realizes that no matter how you slice it she is not going to come off good badmouthing someone who has cancer....heck, even if what Cooke said is true about Diem (which I don't believe that it is but just hypothetically)....still, a person criticizing a cancer patient is never going to come off good so Cooke is probably worried about her own image too.

[QUOTE=V1man;361014]..."back-pedaling" in hope that someone does not tell two supposedly deep, dark secrets that Cooke does not want revealed. I'm very, very tempted, but attorneys will need to be consulted first.[/QUOTE] Interesting, very interesting. I would suspect that being a professional athlete, Cooke is looking for positive pr and endorsement deals. Deep dark secrets might hinder both of those. Hhhhmmm...Karma perhaps?

You are threatening to reveal deep dark secrets about Cooke? In my opinion this is just wrong. Perhaps Cooke should become a member here at Vevmo so that these sort of posts are no longer allowed.

[QUOTE=AnneK;361030]You are threatening to reveal deep dark secrets about Cooke? In my opinion this is just wrong.

My prior comment would still be within the Terms of Service. I know them well since I helped craft them as a moderator.

A year and a half ago I posted here about Diem's cancer returning. I learned about this from reading Diem's twitter account. You PM'd me and told me that you were going to have my post removed because it was private information that Diem did not want discussed. How is it that you felt that my post was in violation of the board's rules then, but somehow, posting about Cooke's deep dark secrets does not violate those same rules.

Cooke isn't exactly a "deep" person. Tag, you're it.
