The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Diem Brown

[QUOTE=Imjustsayin;300282]Yea your right. I went to her twitter last night and the picture was there. It was her, some other blonde chick and the dude she appeared to be with at Tori's wedding. Maybe she is not allowed to talk about him while on the challenge. Maybe Mtv thought it would lower ratings. I dunno but, it is weird.[/QUOTE] How very Basketball Wives of them. Lol.

[QUOTE=Nostalgic;302218]How very Basketball Wives of them. Lol.[/QUOTE] Forgive me but, I do not watch Basketball wives and I do not know what you are intending to say with this comment. On another note.... I do not know what to think about Diem. Sometimes she rubs me the wrong way but, she kicked *** in that final. She really surprised me. She really would have beaten two big *** men up the hill had it not been for CT having smoker's asthma. I was proud of her! This really has no relevance but, I think she would look better if she cut a few inches off her hair. I mean she looks pretty but it's too long. My opinion though and she does not need so much tanning.

On BW one of the cast had a baby or babies with Dwight Howard (or was it Dwayne Wade)however they can not make direct mention of him which always weirded me out. Anyway, as for Diem I don't blame her for keeping it to herself. She's cool about it.

I was huge fan of her since Fresh Meat and I always will be. I hope she will win someday.

The duel won me over even though I found her voice to be aggravating on FM and subsequent challenges. I wanted her to win so bad.

I think, because of her astonishing performance in the final, she will have a big target on her back any challenge she will be on from now. (This was also the reason why she wanted Paula into the dome). They want and should get rid of her very early. Although I do not believe that we will see her any time sooner. I think she and CT will never ever be as close to win one as on Exes. Damn....

Its still a little too early to say just that. Hell who knows

I don't know about that... CT is going to win one. I feel like he is going to keep coming back until he does. He is just too damn good at these things not to win. I used to say he couldn't win one because he got in his own way...but he seems like he has changed in some aspects and I don't think he will allow himself to be the reason why he doesn't win again. If he does not have to work with a partner on the next one, I'm pretty sure he is going to win. I think you may be right about Diem though. It took her this long to come back and honestly I don't think shes is going be one of those people who makes a living off of these challenges. I want to say I see her coming back for maybe another 2 or 3 but I have doubts about her showing up for another one period. Who knows? time will tell.....

I didn't find Diem annoying at all. She wasn't whining to pp about CT, pp were asking her about their story. Someone like Abram, for example, who doesn't watch any tv let alone the show. As far as the pool scene went, the girls were all going on about their great love story, and she was just letting them know it hadn't ended well. People insulting her hair on this forum are awful as well. My mother died from ovarian cancer almost 6 weeks ago, and initially for her, losing her hair was the worst part. Ovarian cancer has a high fatality rate, so if the girl wants to cherish her hair, so be it! I think that putting her career first may have been important, but she may have also been afraid of marrying someone, and either being unable to have kids, or having her cancer come back. People with stage 2 ovarian cancer only have a 45% chance of surviving 5 years, so she would be scared. I also think that we have seen CT's bad side, and it while she is obviously attracted to him, she may have been distancing herself from him (ie not going to his bro's funeral), because she knows she could get drawn back in. The remind me of Cara Maria and Abram, very high points, and really low points. Yet in CM and Abram's case, they can't stay away from each other. You could see the CT/Diem attraction increasing as the season went along. They are definitely drawn to each other. That being said, Diem did say that not going to his brother's funeral was a huge mistake. Let's face it, we all do stupid things when it comes to exes.

I'm also going to say that if people paid attention to what Diem says, they would know why she was upset about CT and Shauvon. Regardless of whether or not they were broken up she said she had hoped they could rekindle things after the show was over. Obviously him sleeping with someone else while they were in the house together squashed that. I think he did that to hurt her. I would like to know why he said she didn't want him during the reunion. Whether they still seem to have feelings for each other, she would have a really hard time introducing him to her Dad now! So much of CT's dirty laundry has been all over the tv, and there is no way to get around that.

CT's current choices are questionable. I understand it is a job but going on Spring Break for 3 weeks with a bunch of 20 year olds when you are over 30! ???? His girlfriend went with him. Doesnt she have a job?? Perhaps he needs to hang with people that have goals and aspirations. Johnny sounds like his goals are getting drunk and sleeping with women. CT has a lot of potential. More than I think that he sees. Perhaps that is why he said that Diem doesnt want to be with him. She wants more for him. On his interview he says it is 'smoke and mirrors' so why continue to do them? He seems lost in his world right now.

I don't know what he does outside the challenges but he seems cool with that wild lifestyle. It's like Aneesa said: "It was like the lady and the tramp" with CT and Diem.

I think they said his job is flipping houses so I can see him going on spring break to get paid to party, why not? How old is he anyways? Probably 30 something so dating a girl in her 20s isnt that strange, I dont think Diem is in her 30s either.

I suppose it would be difficult to take the challenge guys seriously in real life. I could see why even if Diem were still attracted to CT, she would find it hard to get back together with him. He said in an interview recently that it is hard to hold a job when you keep doing challenges, so now he just gets paid to do tours, and make appearances. Not really what you are looking for in a husband right?!?

Yes, I agree. And I feel like this is the reason why she ultimately broke up with him. Diem wants a carrer, she obviously wants to get married and possibly have kids. She must have saw that this is not where CT was looking to go in his future. Maybe that is why she gave him 5 years...lol to see if he would mature I guess. I just watched a video that he posted on his twitter page and it was him, Johnny and some other people just partying and chilling. They were not doing anything really productive, just having a good time. And I think this is the knid of guy he is. He is laid back and chill. He just wants to enjoy life where as Diem is more ambitious. She has a lot of goals that she wants to realize. A lot of people are hoping that they will eventually get back together because they could see that they still had feelings for each other or whatever but, I dont see it. I see that they are attracted to each other but, I honestly think that he really dislikes her. He see,s indifferent when asked about her in interviews and he looks like he is happy with his present gf. I dont know time will tell I guess...

Supposedly she has shot him down on numerous occasions. I would love to see them work things out, but I doubt it will happen. I think that is why he acts indifferent about her. He knows she doesn't want to get back together, and I'm sure that hurts. Plus, he probably put his relationship with his gf at risk through what was shown on the show, and the reunion, so he would be wise to not say much else about her.

Why was he yelling " you are trying to rekindle something that happened half a century ago". Rachel says that Diem is confused as to what she wants her relationship with CT to be. Personally, it would be difficult for me to follow my head and not my heart. I have never seen a couple look at each other the way they do to each other. Melts my heart. I wish he would get his act together and Stop Smoking! He has a lot of potential. He has over 65k followers on twitter.

Yes, he did say "why you are trying to rekindle something that happened half a decade ago". If you watch their fight, she isn't trying to rekindle things, she just tells him she knows he still likes/loves her. I think it would be quite difficult to still have feelings for someone, and know that even if they still feel something, they don't think you are 'the one'. I assume that is why he lashed out at her. Rachel said she thought Diem was confused because it obviously was taking a toll on her emotionally. Plus, everyone could tell there was still something there. Diem did say that on the bus he whispered to her wanting to know why she didn't want to get back together with him. He also supposedly tried to get back with her the first episode of Duel 2.

It seemed to me that they were BOTH leading each other on. Every bar scene they are together. Dancing, laughing talking and making eyes at each other. When they won power couple they were talking about old times at dinner and Diem teases him about coming in for the kiss when they got "married". They sat next other on the bus after the "bachelor" party. You saw them together a lot after they squashed their differences. If she didn't want to rekindle anything then she should have kept her distance,especially if he asked her to get back together and she doesn't want to. Their actions towards each other did not match what they were saying. Heck even on the reunion I noticed he was always leaning into her as if to be closer to her. I also noticed that they weren't looking at each other on the reunion as much as they were on the show. Probably because people always comment on the way they look at one another. My thoughts on the matter is that she wanted to see how things go after the show. She is not the kind of person to hook up on camera. If he truly wanted her then he could have tried after the show. Look at what happened to Ty and Paula and Johnny and Camila. I was even surprised that they were standing next to each other when they found out they were playing exes. All the other pairs had to walk to stand next to each other but not CT and Diem.

The cash cow much perform. It's why they are there.

At the reunion CT seemed unconfortable. Everything he did was exaggerated. I feel like it had a lot to do with the atmosphere, I mean the fact that he was there with Diem. I dont know if he finds it hard to talk about his feelings, but every response he gave was playful. Like he was joking about everything. I guess she really does make him nervous. Which I find strage, because I don't think he has much feelings for her at all but, then again if he did not have feelings for her, why would he act that way?? I also thought it was strange that Rachel said that her and Mark were in very serious relationships while filming the show and they were very careful of every move. People were obviously aware that CT had a girlfriend. But his relationship was not cast in the same light as Rachel or Mark's. In other words, I don't know how serious his relationship was at the time. I mean it's weird that he would ask his ex girlfriend why she didnt want to get back with him while he has a girlfriend at home. I also thought that it was weird that when him and Diem were arguing at the club he said if you don't want me stop touturing me. I wonder what he meant when he said this. Did he mean, stop having this bad blood with me and arguing with me all the time or did he mean stop making feel as if I can have you but then not letting me have you?? I don't know CT and Diem have one of the most confusing relationships ever. I don't understand it. It is so complicated, that sometimes I think it was fabricated by MTV for money......

Apparently CT and Diem are still talking? [url=http://www.okmagazine.com/news/diem-brown-challenge-battle-exes-drama-her-partners-smoking-habit]OK! Magazine[/url]

CT was asked by TJ Lavin to do the RV tour to promote Forgiven & they also came to an agreement to allow CT & his friend to use the tour to help promote the launch of his friend's new clothing company. He pretty much just asked Johnny if he'd be interested in coming along if he didn't have anything else going on & Johnny didn't, so that's why he was there too.

[QUOTE=cheech;302802]If this is true then CT and Diem deserve an Oscar for their performance![/QUOTE] Emmy....Oscars are for movies

I don't think them talking is supposed to be a big deal, I guess people are trying to speculate if they are friends or not. I don't know. When I listened to the Afterbuzz interview, they asked CT who he still talks to from the challeneges and he siad he's cool with Leroy and Johnny and that's it. Now I dont know which came first, the OK! Magazibe interview with Diem or this Afterbuzz interview but, the interview with Diem was written by a writer who can edit the information to alter Diem's exact words. Where as the interview with CT was straight from the horses mouth. He did not say anything about them still talking. And when he was asked questions about her, he seemed indifferent or irritated.
