Okay, just watched it. Love her! I'm sad we never got her on a challenge - I would rather a fun personality like that with backyard games instead of most of what we get now. Would have been great to see her on like the og sexes 

I'm re-watching Inferno 3 for the first time since it aired, and Susie was a terrible person here. What is the general feeling about her? She was a true bully toward Tonya, from being passive-aggressive toward her in person and then sl*t shaming her to others like I haven't heard on TV before (those "I hate Tonya because..." sessions were insane). She also got her friends to do poorly on challenges so she could win life shields, and complained about being nominated several times in a row even though she kept nominating Jenn every time (and Jenn actually had to compete in them while Susie did not). What a lame person.

I love the I Hate Tonya Game lol

Susie on the Inferno 3 is what everyone thought Beth was all along, especially during her first few seasons (though she was never around long enough to even prove them differently) and by she I mean Beth

That's not funny. It was truly despicable.

As bad as some people are now, I forgot how truly terrible these guys were. There were constant remarks about how worthless the women were, and constant remarks about Aneesa's weight (with even Ace saying she was swimming like she was going toward cupcakes).

We need drama and good one liners and such, but there's a line...

Jo was such an adequate replacement for Puck in RW San Francisco. Both ended up having the most chaotic moment of their only seasons of the challenge. Puck vs. David and Jo vs. the isle of Tobago.

Love Susie - she's one of my favs <3 I'm shocked though in ruins Tonya exposed at Veronica and not Susie cause I would assume Tonya watched Inferno 3.  Especially after it was said Veronica was nice to her and they apparently got along on the Ruins up until that point.

in general that era had the worst men - super chauvinistic and sexist and over all just not great humans based on what we saw and heard them say.  Kenny, Evan, Johnny,  CT, Wes.  Also a few of the newer guys fell into the category like Zach, Bear, Paulie. (Early seasons had a few like this too like Adam on the Gauntlet)  In general though the guys have never been interesting or the reason I watch the show. Since I started watching during Sexes 1 the women have carried the show for me. They're more dynamic and fun to watch.  Imo they're the reason the show was amazing in the golden age and continued on so long. 

It was a different time back then. People weren't as sensitive, offensive jokes were acceptable humor. They were team challenges trying to win money, of course they wanted women out. There weren't as many brolics back then. There were average girls there smoking packs of cigarettes a day and having fun. Things went too far at times but a lot of it was frat boy humor. These girls were extremely close to the guys considered misogynist outside the game. Kenny & Evan prob had way more female friends than guy friends. Minus the Tonya incident bc we don't know the truth, I think a lot of the reaction to these guys is overly dramatic.

I'm now re-watching Rivals 2. It's just astounding that people kept working with Bananas and even protecting him. He had of course betrayed Paula and Nany previously, and then in a daily challenge here goes back on a deal with Zach. There are of course plenty of other examples. I just don't understand why people kept working with him.

R2 was the first challenge Bananas and Nany did together.

On Rivals 2 they literally had a trivia question asking who the trashiest girl in the house is; ridiculous.

Ha yeah. It was Bloodlines I was thinking of; can't keep the order straight. The general point/question still stands.

Ugh Diem is so annoying and terrible. I feel bad for what happened to her, but she was a lame person in the game. She and Susie remind me of one another, actually. Did they ever do a season together?

But your point is accurate.  Bananas screwed over all of his friends including Paula, Nany, Leroy etc..... and they still are up his ***

Susie and Diem did Ruins together but Diem was out first or second.

I thought Diem was annoying and entitled when she flipped out on Tina in FM and Aneesa on Duel because she was voted in

She's also so annoying on Rivals 2 with the way she calls every other girl manipulative and fake and such, yet that's exactly what all she is in trying to avoid ever seeing an elimination (and in acting like things with CT don't bother her).

Diem had the audacity to say she and Anessa had worked the hardest of any team and deserved the final when Diem never saw an elimination while Cooke/Cara saw two. Wtf? She also said they shouldn't be here.

Emily S also said Cooke/Cara shouldn't be here, in reference to them making the final. Cooke/Cara won two eliminations and then won the last challenge to make the final. How should they not be there?

Is USA 1 any good? I've only seen USA 2 and liked it.

Loved USA 2, skipped USA 1

Is USA 2 any good? I've only seen USA 1 and didn't like it.

USA 2 has some boring episodes but overall it's pretty decent. The best part for me was an underdog story I could actually get behind and a strong women alliance. 

I enjoyed USA 1 even just for not having the usual losers around. Seeing Tyson, Angela, etc run the game instead of the vacation alliance was refreshing 

Why tf did anyone find Kyle hot? I don't get it.

Desi, Michaela, and Chanelle were everything! Yes, sisters!

In episode 8 of Vendettas Leroy literally calls Kam his #1 despite having just met her, yet people will say Cara turned on him? He'd already placed Kam above her, so why wouldn't Cara do the same with Kyle? (We also know since the show Leroy said he would have chosen Kam if he was in Cara's situation.) This is the type of situation where I need people to be consistent.

It's crazy how modern seasons have 90 minute episodes with 22 episode seasons and they still have less impact than a  13 episode season with 60 minute episodes.

Much better story editing in those 30 min episodes too

What is going on with Ashley Mitchell? She has unfollowed all but 1 person on Instagram and hasn't been posting anyway.

100 percent. We somehow got humor, drama, a mission, deliberation, and elimination in one episode. I also kind of liked the person going back to pack after elimination and not leaving straight away from the elimination arena.  

I wish they would/could cast from Netflix shows. We got Ed! So many to pick from.... But my no 1s,  Tolú is THE Queen, and I hate myself but please Harry Jowsey!

Bryton for 41.

Been asked before I'm sure. But is there anywhere to watch old seasons in the UK? And when are we getting USA 2???
