Yes, that was a cute moment. But I absolutely hated Rivals 2. Everything about it gives me a bad feeling. I didnt like the location, the house, the cast, but most of all I didnt like the way Diem was treated.
One of my favortie moments with the two of them was Battle of the Exes. It was the swinging pole mission. And they were talking about how they were going to do the challenge but really, they were bickering....Bickering like an old married couple. They were both talking at the same time and talking over each other but not in a mean way, just like old couples do.
I have a few favorite Diem moments
Rivals 2: The dog collar challenge. Everyone was comenting on how great Camila did but, Diem also took it like a champ. You didnt hear her once. And at one point Aneesa yells at Diem and says you act like this diesnt hurt! Diem was so tough
Duel 2: The challenge where they had to race with the giant heads and Diem was in first place until they got to the puzzle. She beasts that challenge, I loved it.
Battle of the Exes: The fact that she beat EVERYONE in the final up that mountain wa amazing. Her edurance was incredible!

By the people in the house, by CT, or in the overall editing of the show? I've only been watching the clips lately so my overall memory is more of a highlight reel at the moment, but I hope to go back to watch these seasons in their entirety again. One thing I was glad to read in a later interview was that CT and Wes both had a very nice conversation with Diem after the big vote went down and apologized so when she left, I think she left knowing they cared deeply for her.
Everyone, everyone treated her like shit. The females seemed to be waiting for a chance to start something with Diem.And when that moment came, they attacked. And Diem is sensitive and she tried her best to stand up for herself but they were like vultures. And Ct.....hes an *******. When all of that went down, he cheered the other girls on and laughed at Diem right in her face. For the life of me, I can not understand his actions that night. I know he was mad at her but, really? It was immature and heartless to act that way. He was so mean to her; I dont get it. I feel like a lot if his grieving is guilt. Sometimes I just don't know about him.
I know Diem was no saint either, but I genuinely feel that nothing she did came from bad intentions. She was a good person...
Makes me sad

Quite honestly, I think you're being emotional about it because Diem is gone, no disrespect to you at all. I'd agree that Rivals 2 was hard to watch as a Diem fan but it's just a TV show. I think we sometimes as viewers forget that we see so little of what actually happens on and off the show. I'm sure R2 wasn't Diem's favorite moment on Tv but it's nothing to be sad about. In the end everybody that had problems with Diem worked it out more than a year ago.. even before the reunion.. Camila (one of her BFF's), Jemmye, Wes, and especially CT. Things happen, people fight, they anatagonize each other but they're all adults and they moved on. I also don't think it's fair to minimize CT's mouring to Rivals 2. He and Diem dated for more than a year after and by all accounts seemed pretty commited and happy with each other. I'm sure he's mouring more so because he lost a woman he loved for 8 years and one of the only people he ever felt open and vulnerable with. He's probably also mouring the loss of the future he planned with her. I really doubt that in Diem's final months her and CT talked about Rivals 2. That was such a small part of their relationship and so miniscule and insignificant to what they had, both the good parts of their relationship and definitely the bad.

Well stated. I think just the fact that Chris was helping to care for Diem during those final months, all the surgeries and everything that was going on with her medically, Rivals 2 would seem pretty insignificant compared to the life-or-death situation she was being faced with and with Chris needing (and wanting) to be one of the people to help as her caretaker (along with family and others)....I would think all of the focus went to that as well as just probably wanting to say everything that they never had a chance to say before, all of those things that were unsaid between them...just making sure they both knew exactly how the other felt. Situations like that make things that once seemed so important in the past seem pretty trivial.
I have a question. At one point, Johnny Bananas comments that Diem is stupid for falling back into that situation with CT and CT's only motivation is manipulation to win the game...is this a true opinion of Johnny's or a scripted storyline?
and I just got a message from someone on Lipstick Alley, basically calling me an idiot for hoping that Diem and CT were close at the end. This person, don't know if it's a male or female, said that their relationship was borderline abusive because he was very manipulative and verbally abusive, especially when he was drunk. They also said that Diem was also stressed because he was habitually cheating on her, even at the end when she was sick, with one of the "spongebob twins." I have no idea what that means. So they called me a fool for hoping that she was in a bad relationship, that he was visibly absent from all the media reports for a reason, and that Diem wasn't stupid and that's why she sent him away.
I feel awful. I don't know what to believe but I certainly don't want to believe she was on a relationship that was really bad, just to satisfy my fairytale view of them.
Feel like crap. I just hope Diem was happy. That's all.
Those are all lies; don't believe a word of it. Chris and Diem were together and planning a future. Chris stayed by her side at the hospital when she was sick. Obviously they didn't get their happily ever after, as they wanted, but they had an extraordinary love and no one can ever take that away from Chris now.

I wondered that as well (about Johnny's commentary) and kind of hated him for it. There was a line he said (paraphrased here) that was something like, "If she thinks this is going to continue for one minute outside of this challenge, she's an idiot"... well, fourteen months later, look where they were. I mean, we KNOW that much, at least up until August. I think CT said it best when he said (albeit in the course of game play): people who don't even know me are going to try to tell you how to feel about me? Also all that garbage about ending in heartbreak and tragedy. I think the person it ended in heartbreak for the first time was CT. I think it was game talk because how could any of these people even look at each other again if they didn't know that it was just that? Especially Diem who was a real person and seemed to have a tendency to take things very personally as I would have.
It's just as easy for someone to say "he was disgusting and a cheat" as it is to say "they were perfect and flawless"... likely neither is true. It's not a fairytale, it's real life. I like to stick to what are the closest I can get to facts: they were in each others' lives seemingly exclusively from June 2013 - August 2014. He played a role in caring for her after her recurrence. Diem had reasons for excusing him from her bedside and was surrounded by an amazing group of women in the end.
He's not perfect, but if he were "habitually cheating," I think there'd be a heck of a lot more comments about that than comment after comment saying, "Saw them together in Nashville, saw them together in NYC, saw them here, saw them there, most definitely together." Even the worst those comment board hags at People could come up with were based on his pre-Rivals II instagram.
I am coming off like a real CT defender here, and I don't know him or his behavior at all. He is aggressive, and verbal, but he honestly doesn't seem like a cheat (at least not a low down and dirty habitual one). He just doesn't. Not with the certain sensitivities he has displayed, not the way he looked at her, they had one one of those "nobody else in the room when you're in it" things, especially him to her. But I could be wrong.
Hope not because at the end of the day, I just want to know that girl was happy.
Yes. Sometimes I question him but at the same time, there is too much info out there claiming that they were in each others lives on a more personal level. I happen to think that they were brought together for a reason. DIem definetly changed CT for the better just look at his behavior on Free Agents. Theresa did an interview on the Murtz show where they both alluded to the fact that he was back with Diem and Theresa said whatever is going on in his personal life is really helping him because he has grown up into a man. She said in the short time span from Ribals 2 to Free Agents there was a huge change in his behavior. That is atributed to Diem. God put her in his life for a purpose and I cant wait to see the change in him for the future.
But he also helped her a lot as well. He put a confidence in her that helped her become the strong Diem that we were all so use to. She really has left her mark. I have seen about 5 articles come out since her passing that talk about Diem and the impact she had. They acknowledge her strength and perseverance and say she is a role model for women facing ovarian cancer. I hope from Heaven see can see the impact she had. Her passing is such a great loss.
I'm not sure we should count that as CT's voice. I listened a bunch of times and it just doesn't sound like CT to me. How sure are we?
I definitely believe it's his voice. Sounds just like him and I think that's when they went to Steamboat, CO for Ski Trip.
What video is this from? I haven't watched yet and want to see if it sounds like him or not..ct has a pretty distinctive voice and accent..I will put it on full volume blast lol ..do u have link or name of video?
Ok so I agree, it sounds like CT. But is it just the accent that we are hearing? What about the ex? Is he from NY? Does anyone know what he sounds like? Being from New York I could tell you A LOT of men from NY sound just like that. Ughhhhh, I am like 95% sure.. Someone else listen!!! Lets take a poll!!

I think Johnny was just looking out for her. He knows what CT has done in the past and he wasn't the only one concerned. Paula said the same thing when talking to Johnny and Frank on Rivals 2. Obviously Johnny got over that considering he hung out with CT/Diem while they were back together.
The "spongebob" twins are the victor twins, and that person is referring to Dani, with whom he was sleeping with last summer before he and Diem were together. She is on BGC, and the current show which was taped last fall/ spring maybe she talks about the miscarriage she had with their baby. However, she is one of those who posts way too much of her life, and she recently tweeted that she hadn't had sex in like 9 months, soooo...... And she also tweeted that even though there was bad blood between her and CT, she felt for him when Diem died because she knew how much he loved her.
This Thanksgiving, for the first time in 34 years, someone was missing at the Brown table. God willing, the place on CTs arm will eventually be filled. Alicia will come to a place where she goes to pick up the phone, and the first person she tries to call won't be Diem, but another amazing friend. Gone but not forgotten. We will find someone else who inspires us to be better. But no matter how many children and spouses fill the family up, there will always be someone missing at the Brown table. Prayers to them all.
As someone who followed and saw the first pic posted while Rivals 2 was airing that hinted they may be reconciling, and having friends of friends who know them, it's been interesting. I truly thought when diem told aneesa she felt "full" around him that was a great sign if ct truly loved her they may have this one last shot to get together if they wanted. than the pics were showing up, i too heard they were on vacation together with Diems family for x mas, and for her dad's bday. As well as they celebrated bdays together. It may have been complicated in nature of him trying to "win over" the doubters in diems group of friends, but they were 100 percent solid and together and planning a life together. IMO if diem was to give him that second chance, she only would if he was in it for the long run, she is not the no strings type of girl and never was. So to me that is telling for what this last 1.5 years was and i saw a better version of ct and he clearly is a better person being around such a great person as diem. So to me his IG posts ring completely true.
They were insanely happy. Alicia, ashley k, faith, and some other of her friends truly liked CT and knew how much he loved her. Maybe other's needed a bit more time, but i don't see how people question his "intentions" when what did he have to gain from recording his proposal? he didn't sell it to the news stations, and ct hates talking about his personal life to anyone. So the fact he posted the two ig pics professing his love for Diem is very very telling how hurt he was. If anything the extent others went to disapprove his emotional posts, says more about "intentions" to me than anything ct did. Maybe people were keeping up with diem's story of her being single becuase they felt that's what they wanted and so people would not bother ct after she passed, but i really doubt she would be happy about how these articles make him look.
A funny thing i noticed about the comments about how bad ct is, all of them reference things from over 1.5 years ago, and act liek they were happening today. So how educated are those negative posters about ct's life? not very if you ask me. They are saying "didn't he just knock up danni from bgc" or he treated diem so bad on gauntlett 3, or he screwed her over on rivals 2(which i don't feel he did i think he didn't want to get into too much romantic stuff till after th e show), that was a logn time ago and on an edited tv show. Also danni's story has been proved to be a story that has changed a few times, so while may be true, take it for what it's worth. This is ocer like a 8 year span too and people are referencing this as current news. Alicia even mentioned on one of those articles how they get back and break up a lot so through the years after the first breakup, i have a feeling it was on and off more than was said.
If diem saw how hyper ct was at her bedside and made her nervous nad it was in her health's best interest for him to only visit not stay wiht her 24/7, than i don't see a problem. The funny thing is everything i hear from ct's friends and posters who reference her watching ct's nephew and being a part of ct's family, all say he was there when she passed. yet the only thing that disapproves that are "sources" who have basically said 3 or 4 very defamating things about him and all the things said about him seem to be contradictory of what is heard by others. So that alone to me discredits the sources.
Others don't have to agree, but they were together and planning a life together. He may have proposed earlier too or she may have said yes but let's wait to make it official when i am healthy, and this article once again seems to have a motive. So i think the first proposal was to make her laugh and the 2nd was legit, but i have a feeling what they reported is not factual.
I am only posting this becuase it keeps going round and round every new article about " so were they together even" and the answer was YES. Just becuase some of her friends may not have approved or may have liked an ex beetter, doesn't mean diem's heart was not with ct and hse wasn't loyal. I mean how much can you believe these anonymous posters about how ct's cheating with danni when that is over 1.5 yrs old and they clearly aren't up to date.
I am happy if no more articles come unless it has to do with medgift and donating to her cause from MTV. That shoudl be the focus, the ct and diem stuff to me isn't complicated, they loved each other and wanted to have a future. I truly wish they would have had a chance for that future of kids and the white picket fence, and in a way people posted when diem was alive how she was single, so they aren't going to backtrack now, no matter how dumb they look. Diem was such a nice person i truly think she has made other's lives better and she always would give anyone a chance to talk to her about the cause or if they needed adviec.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your post. I know that Diem would be very happy that this was written and shared. She wanted the privacy of their relationship and I admire Chris for respecting her wishes. Again, thank you for telling the truth.
Thats what hurts the most for me. No, I did not know her personally but what broke my heart was the promise. SO many people are lost and dont know where they are going or what they will do. You can not feel their spirit beaming from the inside out; with Diem I could. She knew where she was going and what she was doing and because she was so focused, so was I. I could feel her spirit in every tweet, picture, and show. She was so positive. I just knew her future on earth would be nothing short of amazing; I could see it. I could see the marriage, the kids, and her as some sort of Cancer Ambassador. And it broke my heart when she left because I thought I would never be able to witness the extent of her greatness.
But I was very wrong. The response after her death and the attention she is still gettiing proves how amazing she was. And although we wont be able to see her become a wife or a mommy, we will continue to see how she influenced and inspired people all around the world. She will never be forgotten.
Yes, that was a cute moment. But I absolutely hated Rivals 2. Everything about it gives me a bad feeling. I didnt like the location, the house, the cast, but most of all I didnt like the way Diem was treated.
One of my favortie moments with the two of them was Battle of the Exes. It was the swinging pole mission. And they were talking about how they were going to do the challenge but really, they were bickering....Bickering like an old married couple. They were both talking at the same time and talking over each other but not in a mean way, just like old couples do.
I have a few favorite Diem moments
Rivals 2: The dog collar challenge. Everyone was comenting on how great Camila did but, Diem also took it like a champ. You didnt hear her once. And at one point Aneesa yells at Diem and says you act like this diesnt hurt! Diem was so tough
Duel 2: The challenge where they had to race with the giant heads and Diem was in first place until they got to the puzzle. She beasts that challenge, I loved it.
Battle of the Exes: The fact that she beat EVERYONE in the final up that mountain wa amazing. Her edurance was incredible!
I love that girl. RIP Diem
Rivals 2 was amazeballs but you're right the location was a repeat but it still was amazing. The house I'm iffy about because its ******* funny nobody got hurt or cut with the doors other than Jasmine but that was my favorite cast of the recent seasons. I'm surprised Diem didn't slap CT when he said he was going to molest her up the rope. Her side eye towards that moment was classic.
I liked her on the Duel though all the way through. in fact did she have any opinions of the drama mafia starting shit?

Everyone, everyone treated her like shit. The females seemed to be waiting for a chance to start something with Diem.And when that moment came, they attacked. And Diem is sensitive and she tried her best to stand up for herself but they were like vultures. And Ct.....hes an *******. When all of that went down, he cheered the other girls on and laughed at Diem right in her face. For the life of me, I can not understand his actions that night. I know he was mad at her but, really? It was immature and heartless to act that way. He was so mean to her; I dont get it. I feel like a lot if his grieving is guilt. Sometimes I just don't know about him. I know Diem was no saint either, but I genuinely feel that nothing she did came from bad intentions. She was a good person... Makes me sad
Quite honestly, I think you're being emotional about it because Diem is gone, no disrespect to you at all. I'd agree that Rivals 2 was hard to watch as a Diem fan but it's just a TV show. I think we sometimes as viewers forget that we see so little of what actually happens on and off the show. I'm sure R2 wasn't Diem's favorite moment on Tv but it's nothing to be sad about. In the end everybody that had problems with Diem worked it out more than a year ago.. even before the reunion.. Camila (one of her BFF's), Jemmye, Wes, and especially CT. Things happen, people fight, they anatagonize each other but they're all adults and they moved on. I also don't think it's fair to minimize CT's mouring to Rivals 2. He and Diem dated for more than a year after and by all accounts seemed pretty commited and happy with each other. I'm sure he's mouring more so because he lost a woman he loved for 8 years and one of the only people he ever felt open and vulnerable with. He's probably also mouring the loss of the future he planned with her. I really doubt that in Diem's final months her and CT talked about Rivals 2. That was such a small part of their relationship and so miniscule and insignificant to what they had, both the good parts of their relationship and definitely the bad.
I agree. nobody on these show are/were angels not even Sarah G, Kendal or hell Linette. But I don't want this to seem like I'm attacking you either though. you just got mad love for the girl. and I understand.
LMAO I hate you I really do (not really), How the hell did you manage to find that ive been searching FOR YEARS for full episodes besides the usual suspects of Rivals/FM1/2, iNFERNO 1/2. You and Keep Quiet are absolutely amazing.
Yes, that was a cute moment. But I absolutely hated Rivals 2. Everything about it gives me a bad feeling. I didnt like the location, the house, the cast, but most of all I didnt like the way Diem was treated.
One of my favortie moments with the two of them was Battle of the Exes. It was the swinging pole mission. And they were talking about how they were going to do the challenge but really, they were bickering....Bickering like an old married couple. They were both talking at the same time and talking over each other but not in a mean way, just like old couples do.
I have a few favorite Diem moments
Rivals 2: The dog collar challenge. Everyone was comenting on how great Camila did but, Diem also took it like a champ. You didnt hear her once. And at one point Aneesa yells at Diem and says you act like this diesnt hurt! Diem was so tough
Duel 2: The challenge where they had to race with the giant heads and Diem was in first place until they got to the puzzle. She beasts that challenge, I loved it.
Battle of the Exes: The fact that she beat EVERYONE in the final up that mountain wa amazing. Her edurance was incredible!
I love that girl. RIP Diem
Rivals 2 was amazeballs but you're right the location was a repeat but it still was amazing. The house I'm iffy about because its ******* funny nobody got hurt or cut with the doors other than Jasmine but that was my favorite cast of the recent seasons. I'm surprised Diem didn't slap CT when he said he was going to molest her up the rope. Her side eye towards that moment was classic.
I liked her on the Duel though all the way through. in fact did she have any opinions of the drama mafia starting shit?
Diem was in the Drama Mafia.
For real? Its been 8 years since Ive seen thats eason but damn I thought there were some that weren't.
LMAO I hate you I really do (not really), How the hell did you manage to find that ive been searching FOR YEARS for full episodes besides the usual suspects of Rivals/FM1/2, iNFERNO 1/2. You and Keep Quiet are absolutely amazing.
Too funny! I just Googled Daily Motion and then searched on Real World Road Rules Challenge. I think there are also full seasons of a few others as well. If you belong to Amazon Prime, you can see some of the more recent Challenges w/out commercials. Enjoy!

Everyone, everyone treated her like shit. The females seemed to be waiting for a chance to start something with Diem.And when that moment came, they attacked. And Diem is sensitive and she tried her best to stand up for herself but they were like vultures. And Ct.....hes an *******. When all of that went down, he cheered the other girls on and laughed at Diem right in her face. For the life of me, I can not understand his actions that night. I know he was mad at her but, really? It was immature and heartless to act that way. He was so mean to her; I dont get it. I feel like a lot if his grieving is guilt. Sometimes I just don't know about him. I know Diem was no saint either, but I genuinely feel that nothing she did came from bad intentions. She was a good person... Makes me sad
Quite honestly, I think you're being emotional about it because Diem is gone, no disrespect to you at all. I'd agree that Rivals 2 was hard to watch as a Diem fan but it's just a TV show. I think we sometimes as viewers forget that we see so little of what actually happens on and off the show. I'm sure R2 wasn't Diem's favorite moment on Tv but it's nothing to be sad about. In the end everybody that had problems with Diem worked it out more than a year ago.. even before the reunion.. Camila (one of her BFF's), Jemmye, Wes, and especially CT. Things happen, people fight, they anatagonize each other but they're all adults and they moved on. I also don't think it's fair to minimize CT's mouring to Rivals 2. He and Diem dated for more than a year after and by all accounts seemed pretty commited and happy with each other. I'm sure he's mouring more so because he lost a woman he loved for 8 years and one of the only people he ever felt open and vulnerable with. He's probably also mouring the loss of the future he planned with her. I really doubt that in Diem's final months her and CT talked about Rivals 2. That was such a small part of their relationship and so miniscule and insignificant to what they had, both the good parts of their relationship and definitely the bad.
I enjoyed your post. I have some additinal Rivals 2 thoughts. I think Ct's behavior in Rivals 2 was him putting up a wall. He flat out said in the beginning he was flirting with girls to make her admit she still had feelings for him. He was clearly into her again. But then when she did let go a bit and we saw the club flirting, her sleeping in his bed (hysterical scene btw) and her admitting it was nice, he was then like damn this girl really hurt me in the past do I really want to go their again?, Which is why we saw him distant towards her at the end of the show. I know people think he is a heartless toughy but I am told he is actually very sensitive.
Also want to add, regardless of what CT and Diem were these last few month ....friends, a couple, etc., they obviouly were on good terms and had a good relationship. This whole cast knew this was Exes 2 or heavily speculted it prior to leaving. Even if she did go on the Challenge to make some money and have some fun before chemo started (which are the two reasons I expected she went), she would not have gone if her and CT were not on good terms or if he was chasing her and she was uninterested and uncomfortable etc. She obviously felt like her and CT were solid and he would have her back and they would get through this game strong and make some money. Highly doubt she would have went on the show with cancer again if she felt it was going to be anything like Rivals 2.
Okay, so this is how I'll remember Diem. Though I'm sure it won't all be positive to some of you I think everyone has the right to remember people for who they were to them.
1. I'll always primarily think of her as a fighter. In the challenge and in life. Diem never gave up. She fought on these challenges (ignoring The Ruins) to the bitter end. She fought in life to the bitter end. That's who she was at her core. Someone that was never willing to let anyone else decide her fate.
2. I'll always see her as a bit spoiled and as someone that felt entitled. Diem never felt she should have to go into an elimination round. She flipped out on Fresh Meat (despite turning on her alliance first), she flipped out on Aneesa in The Duel (did she really think Aneesa would call in Svetlana? though Aneesa deserves blame too) and her flipping out that an alliance she was never with voted her in The Duel II. Diem expected a free ride and that pissed me off more than anything. I'll never use anything that happened in Rivals II against her as she wasn't in the right state of mind to be there. I think it is important to acknowledge people's flaws. No one is perfect. That doesn't make them any less special. It just makes them human.
3. I'll remember here as Diem in the PM. She's one of the rare people that actually enjoyed this enviroment.
4. I'll remember her dominating performance in the Exes final, her beating Jenn in Push Over, her screaming at Evan in Dangle Duo, her taking off her wig then winning Ring Toss and I'll remember her as a member of the Drama Mafia.
5. I'm not someone that cares about their romantic lives but I'll remember her good and her bad moments with CT because that's what relationships are all about. Embracing the good while surviving and learning from the bad.
Diem wasn't perfect. No one was. I'll never say I was a fan of her on the show but I was indeed a fan of her in life. She was special albeit flawed like the rest of us.
The "spongebob" twins are the victor twins, and that person is referring to Dani, with whom he was sleeping with last summer before he and Diem were together. She is on BGC, and the current show which was taped last fall/ spring maybe she talks about the miscarriage she had with their baby. However, she is one of those who posts way too much of her life, and she recently tweeted that she hadn't had sex in like 9 months, soooo...... And she also tweeted that even though there was bad blood between her and CT, she felt for him when Diem died because she knew how much he loved her.
This Thanksgiving, for the first time in 34 years, someone was missing at the Brown table. God willing, the place on CTs arm will eventually be filled. Alicia will come to a place where she goes to pick up the phone, and the first person she tries to call won't be Diem, but another amazing friend. Gone but not forgotten. We will find someone else who inspires us to be better. But no matter how many children and spouses fill the family up, there will always be someone missing at the Brown table. Prayers to them all.
As someone who followed and saw the first pic posted while Rivals 2 was airing that hinted they may be reconciling, and having friends of friends who know them, it's been interesting. I truly thought when diem told aneesa she felt "full" around him that was a great sign if ct truly loved her they may have this one last shot to get together if they wanted. than the pics were showing up, i too heard they were on vacation together with Diems family for x mas, and for her dad's bday. As well as they celebrated bdays together. It may have been complicated in nature of him trying to "win over" the doubters in diems group of friends, but they were 100 percent solid and together and planning a life together. IMO if diem was to give him that second chance, she only would if he was in it for the long run, she is not the no strings type of girl and never was. So to me that is telling for what this last 1.5 years was and i saw a better version of ct and he clearly is a better person being around such a great person as diem. So to me his IG posts ring completely true.
They were insanely happy. Alicia, ashley k, faith, and some other of her friends truly liked CT and knew how much he loved her. Maybe other's needed a bit more time, but i don't see how people question his "intentions" when what did he have to gain from recording his proposal? he didn't sell it to the news stations, and ct hates talking about his personal life to anyone. So the fact he posted the two ig pics professing his love for Diem is very very telling how hurt he was. If anything the extent others went to disapprove his emotional posts, says more about "intentions" to me than anything ct did. Maybe people were keeping up with diem's story of her being single becuase they felt that's what they wanted and so people would not bother ct after she passed, but i really doubt she would be happy about how these articles make him look.
A funny thing i noticed about the comments about how bad ct is, all of them reference things from over 1.5 years ago, and act liek they were happening today. So how educated are those negative posters about ct's life? not very if you ask me. They are saying "didn't he just knock up danni from bgc" or he treated diem so bad on gauntlett 3, or he screwed her over on rivals 2(which i don't feel he did i think he didn't want to get into too much romantic stuff till after th e show), that was a logn time ago and on an edited tv show. Also danni's story has been proved to be a story that has changed a few times, so while may be true, take it for what it's worth. This is ocer like a 8 year span too and people are referencing this as current news. Alicia even mentioned on one of those articles how they get back and break up a lot so through the years after the first breakup, i have a feeling it was on and off more than was said.
If diem saw how hyper ct was at her bedside and made her nervous nad it was in her health's best interest for him to only visit not stay wiht her 24/7, than i don't see a problem. The funny thing is everything i hear from ct's friends and posters who reference her watching ct's nephew and being a part of ct's family, all say he was there when she passed. yet the only thing that disapproves that are "sources" who have basically said 3 or 4 very defamating things about him and all the things said about him seem to be contradictory of what is heard by others. So that alone to me discredits the sources.
Others don't have to agree, but they were together and planning a life together. He may have proposed earlier too or she may have said yes but let's wait to make it official when i am healthy, and this article once again seems to have a motive. So i think the first proposal was to make her laugh and the 2nd was legit, but i have a feeling what they reported is not factual.
I am only posting this becuase it keeps going round and round every new article about " so were they together even" and the answer was YES. Just becuase some of her friends may not have approved or may have liked an ex beetter, doesn't mean diem's heart was not with ct and hse wasn't loyal. I mean how much can you believe these anonymous posters about how ct's cheating with danni when that is over 1.5 yrs old and they clearly aren't up to date.
I am happy if no more articles come unless it has to do with medgift and donating to her cause from MTV. That shoudl be the focus, the ct and diem stuff to me isn't complicated, they loved each other and wanted to have a future. I truly wish they would have had a chance for that future of kids and the white picket fence, and in a way people posted when diem was alive how she was single, so they aren't going to backtrack now, no matter how dumb they look. Diem was such a nice person i truly think she has made other's lives better and she always would give anyone a chance to talk to her about the cause or if they needed adviec.
Another beautiful post. Wish there was a LIKE button

By the people in the house, by CT, or in the overall editing of the show? I've only been watching the clips lately so my overall memory is more of a highlight reel at the moment, but I hope to go back to watch these seasons in their entirety again. One thing I was glad to read in a later interview was that CT and Wes both had a very nice conversation with Diem after the big vote went down and apologized so when she left, I think she left knowing they cared deeply for her.
Everyone, everyone treated her like shit. The females seemed to be waiting for a chance to start something with Diem.And when that moment came, they attacked. And Diem is sensitive and she tried her best to stand up for herself but they were like vultures. And Ct.....hes an *******.

I know Diem was no saint either, but I genuinely feel that nothing she did came from bad intentions. She was a good person...
Makes me sad

Things happen, people fight, they anatagonize each other but they're all adults and they moved on. I also don't think it's fair to minimize CT's mouring to Rivals 2. He and Diem dated for more than a year after and by all accounts seemed pretty commited and happy with each other. I'm sure he's mouring more so because he lost a woman he loved for 8 years and one of the only people he ever felt open and vulnerable with. He's probably also mouring the loss of the future he planned with her. I really doubt that in Diem's final months her and CT talked about Rivals 2. That was such a small part of their relationship and so miniscule and insignificant to what they had, both the good parts of their relationship and definitely the bad.
Well stated. I think just the fact that Chris was helping to care for Diem during those final months, all the surgeries and everything that was going on with her medically, Rivals 2 would seem pretty insignificant compared to the life-or-death situation she was being faced with and with Chris needing (and wanting) to be one of the people to help as her caretaker (along with family and others)....I would think all of the focus went to that as well as just probably wanting to say everything that they never had a chance to say before, all of those things that were unsaid between them...just making sure they both knew exactly how the other felt. Situations like that make things that once seemed so important in the past seem pretty trivial.
I have a question. At one point, Johnny Bananas comments that Diem is stupid for falling back into that situation with CT and CT's only motivation is manipulation to win the game...is this a true opinion of Johnny's or a scripted storyline?
and I just got a message from someone on Lipstick Alley, basically calling me an idiot for hoping that Diem and CT were close at the end. This person, don't know if it's a male or female, said that their relationship was borderline abusive because he was very manipulative and verbally abusive, especially when he was drunk. They also said that Diem was also stressed because he was habitually cheating on her, even at the end when she was sick, with one of the "spongebob twins." I have no idea what that means. So they called me a fool for hoping that she was in a bad relationship, that he was visibly absent from all the media reports for a reason, and that Diem wasn't stupid and that's why she sent him away.
I feel awful. I don't know what to believe but I certainly don't want to believe she was on a relationship that was really bad, just to satisfy my fairytale view of them.
Feel like crap. I just hope Diem was happy. That's all.
Those are all lies; don't believe a word of it. Chris and Diem were together and planning a future. Chris stayed by her side at the hospital when she was sick. Obviously they didn't get their happily ever after, as they wanted, but they had an extraordinary love and no one can ever take that away from Chris now.
I wondered that as well (about Johnny's commentary) and kind of hated him for it. There was a line he said (paraphrased here) that was something like, "If she thinks this is going to continue for one minute outside of this challenge, she's an idiot"... well, fourteen months later, look where they were. I mean, we KNOW that much, at least up until August. I think CT said it best when he said (albeit in the course of game play): people who don't even know me are going to try to tell you how to feel about me? Also all that garbage about ending in heartbreak and tragedy. I think the person it ended in heartbreak for the first time was CT. I think it was game talk because how could any of these people even look at each other again if they didn't know that it was just that? Especially Diem who was a real person and seemed to have a tendency to take things very personally as I would have.
It's just as easy for someone to say "he was disgusting and a cheat" as it is to say "they were perfect and flawless"... likely neither is true. It's not a fairytale, it's real life. I like to stick to what are the closest I can get to facts: they were in each others' lives seemingly exclusively from June 2013 - August 2014. He played a role in caring for her after her recurrence. Diem had reasons for excusing him from her bedside and was surrounded by an amazing group of women in the end.
He's not perfect, but if he were "habitually cheating," I think there'd be a heck of a lot more comments about that than comment after comment saying, "Saw them together in Nashville, saw them together in NYC, saw them here, saw them there, most definitely together." Even the worst those comment board hags at People could come up with were based on his pre-Rivals II instagram.
I am coming off like a real CT defender here, and I don't know him or his behavior at all. He is aggressive, and verbal, but he honestly doesn't seem like a cheat (at least not a low down and dirty habitual one). He just doesn't. Not with the certain sensitivities he has displayed, not the way he looked at her, they had one one of those "nobody else in the room when you're in it" things, especially him to her. But I could be wrong.
Hope not because at the end of the day, I just want to know that girl was happy.
Yes. Sometimes I question him but at the same time, there is too much info out there claiming that they were in each others lives on a more personal level. I happen to think that they were brought together for a reason. DIem definetly changed CT for the better just look at his behavior on Free Agents. Theresa did an interview on the Murtz show where they both alluded to the fact that he was back with Diem and Theresa said whatever is going on in his personal life is really helping him because he has grown up into a man. She said in the short time span from Ribals 2 to Free Agents there was a huge change in his behavior. That is atributed to Diem. God put her in his life for a purpose and I cant wait to see the change in him for the future.
But he also helped her a lot as well. He put a confidence in her that helped her become the strong Diem that we were all so use to. She really has left her mark. I have seen about 5 articles come out since her passing that talk about Diem and the impact she had. They acknowledge her strength and perseverance and say she is a role model for women facing ovarian cancer. I hope from Heaven see can see the impact she had. Her passing is such a great loss.
Ok so I agree, it sounds like CT. But is it just the accent that we are hearing? What about the ex? Is he from NY? Does anyone know what he sounds like? Being from New York I could tell you A LOT of men from NY sound just like that. Ughhhhh, I am like 95% sure.. Someone else listen!!! Lets take a poll!!
Does anyone know where we could watch past challenges online? I have read a few posts in this forum that people are watching old ones.. Where?
I think Johnny was just looking out for her. He knows what CT has done in the past and he wasn't the only one concerned. Paula said the same thing when talking to Johnny and Frank on Rivals 2. Obviously Johnny got over that considering he hung out with CT/Diem while they were back together.
Check Daily Motion and Youtube. I just googled the name of the season and found full episodes.
Here's a link to Daily Motion's collection of The Duel and more http://www.dailymotion.com/us/relevance/universal/search/real+world+road...

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your post. I know that Diem would be very happy that this was written and shared. She wanted the privacy of their relationship and I admire Chris for respecting her wishes. Again, thank you for telling the truth.
Thats what hurts the most for me. No, I did not know her personally but what broke my heart was the promise. SO many people are lost and dont know where they are going or what they will do. You can not feel their spirit beaming from the inside out; with Diem I could. She knew where she was going and what she was doing and because she was so focused, so was I. I could feel her spirit in every tweet, picture, and show. She was so positive. I just knew her future on earth would be nothing short of amazing; I could see it. I could see the marriage, the kids, and her as some sort of Cancer Ambassador. And it broke my heart when she left because I thought I would never be able to witness the extent of her greatness.
But I was very wrong. The response after her death and the attention she is still gettiing proves how amazing she was. And although we wont be able to see her become a wife or a mommy, we will continue to see how she influenced and inspired people all around the world. She will never be forgotten.
Rivals 2 was amazeballs but you're right the location was a repeat but it still was amazing. The house I'm iffy about because its ******* funny nobody got hurt or cut with the doors other than Jasmine but that was my favorite cast of the recent seasons. I'm surprised Diem didn't slap CT when he said he was going to molest her up the rope. Her side eye towards that moment was classic.
I liked her on the Duel though all the way through. in fact did she have any opinions of the drama mafia starting shit?
Diem was in the Drama Mafia.
I agree. nobody on these show are/were angels not even Sarah G, Kendal or hell Linette. But I don't want this to seem like I'm attacking you either though. you just got mad love for the girl. and I understand.
LMAO I hate you I really do (not really), How the hell did you manage to find that ive been searching FOR YEARS for full episodes besides the usual suspects of Rivals/FM1/2, iNFERNO 1/2. You and Keep Quiet are absolutely amazing.
For real? Its been 8 years since Ive seen thats eason but damn I thought there were some that weren't.
Too funny! I just Googled Daily Motion and then searched on Real World Road Rules Challenge. I think there are also full seasons of a few others as well. If you belong to Amazon Prime, you can see some of the more recent Challenges w/out commercials. Enjoy!
You darn right imma enjoy because unlike YouTube DailyMotion is very fickle about their content will delete in a heartbeat. *SpillsTea*
Glad we could help
I enjoyed your post. I have some additinal Rivals 2 thoughts. I think Ct's behavior in Rivals 2 was him putting up a wall. He flat out said in the beginning he was flirting with girls to make her admit she still had feelings for him. He was clearly into her again. But then when she did let go a bit and we saw the club flirting, her sleeping in his bed (hysterical scene btw) and her admitting it was nice, he was then like damn this girl really hurt me in the past do I really want to go their again?, Which is why we saw him distant towards her at the end of the show. I know people think he is a heartless toughy but I am told he is actually very sensitive.
Also want to add, regardless of what CT and Diem were these last few month ....friends, a couple, etc., they obviouly were on good terms and had a good relationship. This whole cast knew this was Exes 2 or heavily speculted it prior to leaving. Even if she did go on the Challenge to make some money and have some fun before chemo started (which are the two reasons I expected she went), she would not have gone if her and CT were not on good terms or if he was chasing her and she was uninterested and uncomfortable etc. She obviously felt like her and CT were solid and he would have her back and they would get through this game strong and make some money. Highly doubt she would have went on the show with cancer again if she felt it was going to be anything like Rivals 2.
Okay, so this is how I'll remember Diem. Though I'm sure it won't all be positive to some of you I think everyone has the right to remember people for who they were to them.
1. I'll always primarily think of her as a fighter. In the challenge and in life. Diem never gave up. She fought on these challenges (ignoring The Ruins) to the bitter end. She fought in life to the bitter end. That's who she was at her core. Someone that was never willing to let anyone else decide her fate.
2. I'll always see her as a bit spoiled and as someone that felt entitled. Diem never felt she should have to go into an elimination round. She flipped out on Fresh Meat (despite turning on her alliance first), she flipped out on Aneesa in The Duel (did she really think Aneesa would call in Svetlana? though Aneesa deserves blame too) and her flipping out that an alliance she was never with voted her in The Duel II. Diem expected a free ride and that pissed me off more than anything. I'll never use anything that happened in Rivals II against her as she wasn't in the right state of mind to be there. I think it is important to acknowledge people's flaws. No one is perfect. That doesn't make them any less special. It just makes them human.
3. I'll remember here as Diem in the PM. She's one of the rare people that actually enjoyed this enviroment.
4. I'll remember her dominating performance in the Exes final, her beating Jenn in Push Over, her screaming at Evan in Dangle Duo, her taking off her wig then winning Ring Toss and I'll remember her as a member of the Drama Mafia.
5. I'm not someone that cares about their romantic lives but I'll remember her good and her bad moments with CT because that's what relationships are all about. Embracing the good while surviving and learning from the bad.
Diem wasn't perfect. No one was. I'll never say I was a fan of her on the show but I was indeed a fan of her in life. She was special albeit flawed like the rest of us.
Awesome post and very very true.
