Devyns stats aren't even impressive on paper lol dead last in every final she's in.

THE EXPOSITION
 

For me, watching this show is like eating potato chips. I will love it regardless of its comparitive quality, so just keep doing what you do, MTV/BMP/etc.

 
 It's just not a life changing amount of money. Because it has changed none of these people's lives as they are all still doing these shows over and over again.
 
The opening interview segment is always crucial to pay attention to. People featured in this season's: Johnny, Sarah, Leroy, CT.
 
CT playing him and Diem's relationship and giving us people what we want! Professional. 
 
I like that everybody else is in traveling clothes but Adam looks like Floridian club promoter. Egotist shining through
 
THE INTRODUCTIONS 
Hairstylist? Ambitious career for Jonna. Kudos to Zach for taking accountability for his ********
 
Jordan's smile was one of relief when he realized he wouldn't be paired with Jonna. Filed under #CruelTruth
 
The cast let out one big 'C'MON" at the Nany/Bananas pairing
 
"Ex is a strong term"- Wes is so good at the character playing its ridiculous. 
 
Averey; still playing the victim...
 
I like that Brittany used lingo from her show like we give a f**k what the Boom Boom Room is
 
Jess's sass: Filed under #contrived.
 
I like how Jay talked about dating as if he was acting a theatre production... Who says that?
 
Thomas is just TERRIBLE ( and might have a speech impediment)?
 
Simone is  not as hot as she thinks. She is a 6/10 who thinks she is a 17 
 
CT/Diem Montage: It's beautiful and I love them but can we take a moment  appreciate their gaudy 2006 Ed Hardy jackets in the Duel
 
 
THE MONEY WILL CHANGE MY LIFE AND THE HOUSE IS GREAT PART WE SEE EVERY SEASON
 
You forget how much you love these some of these people but then Jonna says "If I win this money I can finally open my hair extension line" and then the old memories come back.
 
The house is really really incredible this year. You go BMP.
 
Johnny Bananas, we are all always rooting for you. Do not get self conscious in your confessional. We will always love you.
 
I love Diem's advice sessions with the weak ones. Hallmark of the show that we don't bring up enough.
 
Jenna's butt; Good but not great. Averey must have a terrible personality/really screwed Johnny over if the guys are choosing Jenna as the hot rookie they want to get with this season. They aren't even comparable in terms of hotness. Always pick Averey
 
Jessica in response to the Jay/her joke rumors decides to do the most Jessica thing possible and be a humorless troll. Noted. 
 
Simone, continues about how hot she is, while squinting and wearing a too tight top in her confessional. Noted.
 
 
 
THE ACTUAL CHALLENGE AND AFTERMATH
 
 
The Challenge was kind of boring this time. Wes and Theresa, Johnny and Averey, CT and Diem, and Thomas and Hailey are the only 4 who complete it. Wes and Theresa have a strong bolt out. I think Thomas and Hailey were the surprise of that group. The teams that were more even in weight definitely had a better time in this challenge. Girls like Jonna and Brittany had no shot here. 
 
Bonus points for how scary Wes's face looked during the challenge. 
 
"You got this Brit, I believe in you" - Never have I heard that phrase uttered by someone less confident in anothers ability than Adam just now. 
 
To adapt a quote from Jemmye's favorite show, Friday Night Lights (wow that is so sad and embarrasing that I know that): Her and Knight forever. 
 
Hailey is likable but I will say; she enables Thomas's terribleness so I do not pity her.
 
Nany is stirring the pot like only Nany can, quickly antagonizing Theresa. Nany is crazy. No one forget it. Nany will get in her own way this challenge again. Don't forget it. 
 
Theresa is right; she is hard to like and a terrible politician, but she is knows what she is saying; Don't go after Bananas, idiot.
 
Wes's get the rookies on my side strategy is always ********. There are always more rookies but they always suck and they will quickly betray Wes the moment Johnny Bananas shows them any attention. Wes's strategy always drives me crazy.
 
Still though, Thomas calling Wes a kid. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. What the f**k?
 
((((I would for sure have gone after Leroy and Nia/Sarah and Jordan if I were Wes in this situation and I were going to power play route. )))
 
Poor sunburned Dustin cries about his ******* past and how no one likes him because of it. Now, this is a group of people who embraces Crazy Frank. I don't buy it entirely. 
 
 I like Wes's acknowledgment of "but it's my style" in regards to wanting Banana revenge
 
This episode was a big showing for Wes and all I can say is WELCOME BACK, PAL. I do not like Wes's ****** hair at all though. We all agree on that part at least, right? 
 
THE ELIMINATION AND THE TWIST
 
Putting Dustin and Jessica really isn't a bad call though for them to make. Still not the call I would make but not bad.
 
I am in love with Brittany, Sorry Dustin I am against you too.
 
The size disparity looks bad again for Adam and Brittany in this elimination which again; looks just okay.
 
Dustin and Jessica fall because idiot Jessica leans back. This is sad because they were obviously more athletic/ better at this but they screwed up. And if we are being honest, neither of them are people we can live without.
 
Adam's "I love you" was hella cringey. Brittany's reaction reconfirmed why I declared my love for her 3 minutes ago.
 
The twist is alright to me. I don't think its going to be a gamechanger until way later on. Like their is no chance Dustin and Jessica are going to make the final now. Now someone who loses shockingly/accidentally midway in the season (someone like Zach or Leroy), is the one who stands to benefit.
 
MY DIEM THOUGHTS
 
I haven't been reading Vevmo the past few months but I know we are all really sad about Diem.
But I just want to bring up Rivals 2, and how the main  late season storyline was Diem going nuts, and how a solid half of people watching turned on the by far best/most interesting person the show has ever had. Personally, I loved Diem and defended her when all that happened (but then again I liked Jessica last season).  Whatever, we are the  lame fans of this show doing it on a message board so it doesn't matter.
 
But I think reverting Diem's character into an angel this season after a contrived vilifying her on Rivals 2 is REALLY  TACKY. It looks like kind of a desperate grab for ratings after all the publcity her cancer battle has drummed up for this fledgling show, has little continuity,.  But then again, It is a good thing they are doing it because I think Diem was an awesome person but It still doesn't sit completely well with me. Rant over. Loved the episode. Happy to be back. 

Loved your analysis!  I'm happy that the Diem edit this year is closer to her true self.  Although sad, knowing what was to come, I am thrilled that CT & Diem appear happy and loving in their interactions.  Reminds me of how their chemistry ignited on the Duel and followed in subsequent challenges.

Can anyone fill me in on the "Averey cheated on Johnny" thing? I don't want to jump to conclusions, and I don't remember exactly what happened.

I agree Jonna was at her sexiest Rivals 2. And to PR we can ALL agree Zach and Jonna pulked off the hipster glasses look ten times better than Wes.

Oh yes! That hipster get up Wes had on on one of the Rivals 2 aftershows was just awful and did not suit him AT ALL.

I think if anyone on this show nailed the hipster look it's Chet.

I love hipster Wes, not even going to lie.

For me Jonna looked the hottest on Free Agents, she had a more natural look.

I agree. Though, something about her during the mission on this episode looked really good. Her hair looked good in a ponytail, and the light blue jersey complemented her skin really well.

Free Agents Jonna > Rivals 1 Jonna: Afro Edition (haters gonna hate, I loved it on her) > Rivals 2 Jonna > The rest

Or maybe the guy is just insecure as shit? I agree it sad she had to beg and I hope she was just exaggerating since Johnny lucked out with a girl like Avery.

**** for real!!! Averey is way out of Johnnys league and he acted insecure with her on Portland so....

**** for real!!! Averey is way out of Johnnys league and he acted insecure with her on Portland so....

Right. I mean she could still have feelings for him and still love him. The girl was crying in their He said/she said video. I think it's just the fact that she still has feelings for him and the fact that he doesn't believe her is just upsetting and getting to her and she's getting a little desperate which results in her begging.

But honestly If I was Avery I'd just be like whatever and move on. As Been said she's too good(and pretty) for him. She can do better.

I like Johnny and all, but yes Averey is WAY out of his league and also he was so insecure on Portland that if Averey so much as said hello to another dude it would send him into a spiral of "You're cheating on me!!!". So, I have no idea if she cheated or not but quite frankly, chances are Johnny blew something out of proportion as he did during his seasons.

 

Plus, didn't he break up with her right before "Free Agents"? Maybe he wanted to be single on the challenge also.

So...according to this, the next episode will depict the re-emergence of Brown's illness.

Cool me and Debut Album agree on something. Eh Chet had more of a Preppy look on him instead of hipster. The only hipster look was his glasses.

The only hipster I found attractive on this show was Robb...But he is over the stage now.
