I don't think people hate Johnny solely on winning. I haven't heard people hating on Darrell for winning as much as Johnny. I don't have a problem with Johnny winning, but he's just vile. He's just a terrible person IMO.
[QUOTE=TexasFight88;387652]Not to take Johnny's side, because personally, I'm not a huge fan of his (don't hate him, though), but if CT won consistently would you people feel the same way? I know the main (only?) reason a lot of people like him is because he was there for Diem when she was going through a difficult time, since a story like that is such a panty dropper. But had he never shown interest in her, there'd be a good chance that he'd be viewed as one of the bigger d-bags in the history of the Challenge. If Johnny had been there for someone like Diem, or if more people were aware of the fact that he devotes quite a bit of his free time to working with people who are mentally and physically disabled, he'd probably be one of the more likable cast members.[/QUOTE]
Agreed.
Personally, I try not to believe any of the edits that these people get.
[QUOTE=Challenge 17;387653]Or if Johnny didn't treat everyone on the show like *********]
Have you or ANYONE else in the history of this show ever maybe thought that the producers of the show ask certain people to act a certain way for the camera?

It's no use. Nobody has the smarts these days to know that reality television persona =/= real-life persona.

Its like saying, "I hate Walter White. He is so mean to everyone on the show and does illegal things, and as a result I hate Bryan Cranston too."
Smug, racist mormon out first. Loud mouth, tantrum throwing Camilla out next.Frank and Nia not even making it halfway. Leroy and Nany making it far. The return of Laurel. Wild, hilarious Isaac. I think I'm going to like this challenge.

I'm only happy Frank left early, honestly. I was hoping Camila would make the final and Nia would make it at least halfway through. Like Chet, too.

These people are no Bryan Cranstons. That's an excuse. Johnny is a misogynistic, loud mouth. Even his friends have said they have gone on long trips with the guy and have wanted to strangle him and he'd always end up upsetting someone. I can believe Kenny and Wes put on a show, but I don't buy that Bananas is not responsible for his loud mouth. The only thing I'll grant here is the set up of the game might determine how friendly he is with another player. Sometimes it suits him to get along with CT,sometimes due to the format, they are at odds.
I don't understand why people like Laurel! Seeing her on twitter an from this show she is annoying! Just an amazon crazy! I also believe she is one of the more overrated competitors the show has ever produced

I'm dying to hear your reasoning behind this.
[QUOTE=Camille;387668]He just came across that way to me with some comments on podcasts.[/QUOTE]
So he's racist because it came across that way to you?

I love her not only because she's an amazing competitor, but also because she's real. She has many flaws like everybody else, but she's not afraid to be herself even at her worst. And I feel like everytime she comes back, she comes back a better human being. :)
[QUOTE=El Scorcho;387670]So he's racist because it came across that way to you?[/QUOTE]
TBH, he came off as racist(and homophobic) to me in one of his podcasts as well. He's an pompous ******* overall, I'm surprised so many people like him here.

Yes, I hate that we never got to see Laurel on real world, because she'd be great for it. I don't agree with everything she does, but she has substance, which is what a lot of the people on this show lack.
[QUOTE=proceed;387677]TBH, he came off as racist(and homophobic) to me in one of his podcasts as well. He's an pompous ******* overall, I'm surprised so many people like him here.[/QUOTE] Thank you. At one point when discussing Devyn, he said something like, "there's a BLACK woman on the show." And just his tone, and the way he said black in the most condescending way, as if it was something bad or beneath him, came across as very ignorant. You'd have to hear the podcasts to get an idea of what I mean.

Does anyone know what season she would have been on had she been cast? If I remember correctly, she said she sent in an application at least once and got very close to being cast. D.C.? New Orleans?

Brooklyn. Noor too for that season. Brandon I believe was a finalist for Cancun. I'm not sure about any of the others.

Brooklyn-Noor and Laurel
Cancun: Brandon , Pete , Sandy and Luke
D.C: I don't think any of them
BGC Rejects: Carley,Sydney and Mandi
Random Applications: Jeff , Cara Maria and Vinny
I can't remember if Theresa was a BGC Reject or a Cacnun/D.C reject.

If Laurel and Noor both made the Brooklyn cast, they probably would have won BOTS with a team of: Laurel, Sarah, Chet and Noor.

He is viewed like that.

Pretty sure Mandi tried out for the real world
Chet a racist....? lol he has never done or said anything for me to believe he is a racist. Chet is acutally friends with the majority of the people on these shows.
