Laurel look like and idiot trying to defend Jordan action's, she says that she doesn't like any alliances and how they are bs but as soon as Jordan makes a dumb move she runs to justify his actions.

Relax. He did well this Challenge, let him have his moment.
[QUOTE=UrbanTactics;407796]Jesus H, is this the crowd that invades vevmo now? Who the **** makes fun of a birth defect? That's like making fun of handicap people.[/QUOTE]
It is making fun of someone with a disability (handicap).
What are we, in grade school? Heat of the moment or not, never appropriate.
they've shown WAYY too much of jordan, laurel, and nany this season so far. if they showed ct and leroy clowning around a little more this season would be more enjoyable. that segment they had on the aftershow and with Preston in this past episode was hilarious! lol
[QUOTE=UrbanTactics;407848]Relax. He did well this Challenge, let him have his moment.[/QUOTE]
I agree. I also feel like he was just joking around. He knows he isn't the biggest baddest dude, He's just trying to prove to people that he isn't automatic last pick material depending on the missions.

It was weird how there was a deliberation with CT and Johnny and they didn't even speak. But I guess they have to show these new people. We haven't seen Laurel for 3 seasons, Jordan's a fresh face, same with Nany still. Leroy and CT have been on 4 out of 5 seasons since Rivals. So CT can take a backseat this season. And I feel like Leroy doesn't do anything strategic so he doesn't fit in with a lot of story lines.

I feel like CT and Johnny are staying low because they dont quite have the numbers that they usually do or are accustom to.
I also feel like Jordan going off on everyone is really beneficial to Johnny because it's drawing so much house attention off of him.
Does anyone else feel like BMP is kinda making some of these newer people the stars or trying to make them the stars of the show since many old schoolers are done or almost? Try to generate a fan base for them for future challenges. Which I think is kinda starting to work.
CT and Bananas have commentary but thats it. If they weren't their I could care less at this point. And as for Aneesa she is just all talk at this point. Even though points are valid but still. I feel next season may be another Seasons type cast but with a better theme to attract viewers.
Just my opinion. They gotta make the move eventually though. I think this season is the time. To make the move but stick with it and not go back like they did with Rivals.
Not sure why people always give Brandon a pass. He gets eliminated fair and square, on his own (no partners to blame), and people still say "poor Brandon", "He can never catch a break", or whatever... If he was any type of competitor, he would've put up more of a fight. Zach just ran right through him like he wasn't even there. We've seen the smaller competitors out muscle or out smart bigger/stronger competitors before (CJ, Derrick, Abram). But instead of people taking notice of his below average abilities, it's just blaming his size and his so called "bad luck".
As for the episode, this was the first one that kept my attention. Very entertaining and next week looks good too.
As usual, here are my thoughts on this episode:
- Usually the shows dedicate the first seven minutes into filling in lusty drama to reel in anyone who floundered in from Ridiculousness or Teen Mom marathons, but surprisingly enough they kept everything minimal in setting up for the big thing this episode which was Aneesa vs. Laurel, then straight to the Challenge. I like it.
- The Challenge "Bounce Out" seemed fun. But more playground fun. Like this kind of reverts everyone back to a 4th grade kind of thing, but still pretty interesting to watch. Boy did Cara Maria pick an extremely crummy team. And when I mean crummy team, I mean an incredibly lackluster team outside her, Cara Maria and Zach. Johnny's team was so stacked with people who have proven themselves int his Challenge or previous challenges, it wasn't even funny. Cara Maria picked up everyone who would normally make it to the middle of the Challenge.
- All I could think of during this situation is, poor Isaac. The man couldn't deliver and despite looking like a brand new man coming to this Challenge, it immediately paints a target on his back because he couldn't deliver when he should've. I can see him being picked for the elimination in the near future, just as a throw away. Also, LOL at Preston being MVP of this Challenge. MVP for doing what you're supposed to do. If anyone else did what Preston did, no one would've given a damn. Gimme a break. Giving MVP to Preston is every bit demeaning as picking him last.
- For the first time in a long time on The Challenge, I'd say since Fresh Meat 2 (Team Wes vs. Team Kenny) -- the competition drove this entire episode. This episode was entirely a political episode, with nothing in between and as a core fan of The Challenge, I can enjoy that. However, a few statements about the voting process this episode:
[INDENT]1. Jessica must hate Jordan more than she likes playing smart, because it made no sense to tell Aneesa -- who has no allegiance to you at all that they're voting for you. Rookie mistake #1.
2. It's obvious that deliberations between more than 4 players never works out. Especially when Johnny's team have so many egoes.
3. You see CT just chillin? He's got his check. He's got his beard. He's not in the draw. He doesn't give a damn.
4. You'd think they were trying to get rid of all the black chicks first or something. Thank god Devyn's so fabulous.
5. LOL Jasmine. Your friends suck. Both of your Rivals partners voted you in.
6. It's clear as day that Swift has no political game right? It's easy to see that he's been just hanging around with the big dogs, chatting it up and chuckling at their jokes in an attempt to be safe at the end. The fact that he thinks this is a "team vote" says everything. There's no logic behind any of his votes. If people were smart, they'd vote him in because he could potentially mess up their game.
7. Nothing like giving your word on camera Jessica and then now having to go back on it. Rookie mistake #2.[/INDENT]
- This elimination round was incredibly underwhelming. It's like an evolved for of Hallbrawl, but I think Hallbrawl was a much better competition in my opinion because of the narrow and direct route. This one was more about speed than force, and if you were just plain faster -- you've got it. There were really no strong collisions in the game and it was really predictable.
- I think this episode, and pretty much the entire season, proved why instead of Laura & Trey they should've picked Swift and LaToya in Battle of the Seasons. Out of all the rookies on this Challenge thus far, LaToya has proved that she has no filter, she takes no crap, and she can deliver when the opportunity arises. If there is a future for this show, certainly LaToya has to be on the ballot for the roster every time. I would only recommend she becomes a bit more athletic if she wants to take it all -- because she can.
- In terms of the entire Jordan thing, I don't think he's delusional but he's extremely confident in his abilities from how he did on his first Challenge. And he has every right to be because I'd like to think that while Marlon did his part on that team, Jordan carried a bit more of the load. However, his confidence and perceived arrogance by some, is messing up his political game. Especially when you make waves with one of the big dog's in the house so early in the game. If you want to take Johnny out in the game, take him out near the end -- but to do all this barking and pull this alpha male stunt so early, it shows that he's still got a lot to learn. There's a reason by Johnny and CT haven't reached that point in this game as of yet where they're making major political moves. There's still a lot more people to go through to eliminate.

Lol I agree... I really do like Brandon, don't misunderstand me, but more as "Oh, he's such a cool, nice guy!" I don't really like watching him on TV. He doesn't really do much of ANYTHING at all... He's a very cool guy, but not made for TV.

[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;407931]I want Cutthroat Brandon back! He showed up![/QUOTE]
Exactly! I loved him on Cutthroat! Since then, though, he's been kind of a non-factor.
Another thing about this episode, I love the fact that it's called "Inadequate". I was cracking up at Jessica's retorts to Jordan. She kept bringing up that damn log ("You're just mad cause you couldn't cross the log!") and I actually laughed out loud when she called him "inadequate".

CJ won 3 rounds, Zach 2...If it was individual Zach would have gone home. Jasmine got destroyed bty Sam.
[QUOTE=Graphik;407811]Jordan was always an annoying clown along with his side of the Portland house (Johnny, Averey & sometimes Anastasia) so that's nothing new.
Latoya, Aneesa & Jessica were the episode. The rookies (except Johnny) are really renewing this show for me. If all of [B]Nia/Latoya/Devyn/Issac/Swift/Jessica/Emileeeee[/B] show up on the next one I might just watch.
It's a shame how they do Brandon. Swift [I]was[/I] wack tho for "going with the team", when the teams only last for a day or two.
This episode also showed me that, other than her tirade against Paula, why I could never get behind Laurel on these challenges.
Gotta add sexy Jonna in just because lol. I've always liked her but I'm lovin how she is [B]really[/B] playing her own game.[/QUOTE]
mhmmmmmmm i HOPE atleast half of them are not on the next one.
[QUOTE=timster3;407818]I've seen cast members who fight with the portland cast on twitter bring up ratings all the time. I really feel like it's a pointless argument.[B] The show has been on for 29 seasons, the ratings will never be as great as they were in the beginning, and there are a million shows like The Real World now so people aren't as interested to watch anymore.[/B] The trailer turned many people off (I was thrilled by it) so many people refused to watch from the beginning. You can't blame the cast if people refuse to watch from the start.. it's not like they started off with great ratings and then flopped towards the end. The Portland cast have proven to be great characters not only on their season but The Challenge![/QUOTE]
That's a lame excuse, New Olrenas 2/Vegas 2/Explosion had good rating despite the fact that they had 20 something seasons before them.
Like I say the Portland cast is good as individual, but the 8 together as house dynamic wasn't that great in my opinion.
I want Averey introduce before Joi.
[QUOTE=Livewitpeace;407938]But sadly depending on the theme most of them will lol[/QUOTE]
Emilee/Preston/Swift/Jasmine/Devyn/ Jessica (she will be back) can stay home for me. It's not like they are fan favorites
Devyn hasn't even made me laugh this season.

She has been dry on the entertainment this season. I'm a little disappointed but I still want to see her again because I love me some Devyn. She will be back though.
I can't tell whether Jordan is trying to be the new Wes or if he is really this cocky. Wes was entertaining and he actually won the Duel, whereas Jordan has nothing on his record and his cockiness is not even humorous.

At least Wes was humorous and was somewhat joking around about being the god of the challenges. You could really tell Wes was just playing into his character. Jordan seems legitimately mad at everyone. I can't really tell if Jordan's ego is really this big or if he's playing it up.
My thoughts
Jordan is a ****** and ************* must be an STD cause Laurel caught it too
Cara Maria is looking more and more like Icarus
Anessa and funny, two words I never thought I would use in the same sentence
Even when Jessica is right she's annoying
Leroy... oh Leroy... I used to think you were the man but after this...
Latoya putting Jordan in his place was epic
Camilla is crazy hot and seems to get hotter at every episode
Issac, really?... Oh my...
I'm not sure what Brandon was supposed to do but, whatever it was it wouldn't matter anyway
Some thoughts on certain people on this episode:
1) Lost all of my respect for Jordan because of his *************. Side note: Go Jessica and LaToya for going ham on him. It's nice to see his entitled *** get handed to him.
2) Used to root for Laurel, but after this "scared game" crap she pulled I support Aneesa now.
3) Jasmine's so dumb for thinking that Jonna and Theresa are targeting her.
[QUOTE=Youssarian;407967]At this point in the game, Leroy, Zach, and Cara Maria are the only people to have not won a single mission.[/QUOTE]
And sometimes Isaac.
