[QUOTE=Gucci Mane;298565]I'm sorry but just judging from past challenges there's no way I would be in a committed relationship with Paula.[/QUOTE] I don't think Paula could ever be in a committed relationship with anyone.
Most entertaining challenge episode I've seen in a very long time.
I say cut Aneesa some slack, she didn't do [I]that[/I] bad on this challenge.

[QUOTE=fabulous788;298567]I don't think Paula could ever be in a committed relationship with anyone.[/QUOTE] Jack Daniels maybe?
[QUOTE=fabulous788;298510]You should probably tell that to most guys. Isn't that part of the bro code or something? :D[/QUOTE] Lost my internet connection for a bit, but I've always been of the school of thought that you shouldn't hook up with someone in a relationship unless the person that's in the relationship forces the issue, and it was clearly the other way around in Ty and Paula's case. Anyways...sucks to see Rachel and Aneesa go, if only because it means Paula gets to stay. Paula leaving would've really shaken things up.
Sucks to see Rachel & Aneesa leave. I wanted to see them get their revenge on Johnny. Now we're stuck with that dishrag Paula skanking it up for at least another episode. And how did that crazy Brazilian manage to outlast every female there? Every single one of them is stronger than she is. I really hate that team. Still, a great episode.
Haha, thanks a lot everybody for helping to cheat on her man. *SMH* No respect for her relationship lol.
What the hell is going on with Paula and Ty? What has gotten into Ty, he is going after her hard! Didn't see that coming, Paula's man has to be livid. Guess she doesn't have any of the pull Johnny does when it comes to getting it in off camera.
Johnny with a grim look: "Desperate times call for desperate measures." Yea... desperate measure Johnny. Throwing Rachel and [strike]Anessa[/strike] Aneesa in which is the matchup Paula wants, which also grants you a free pass next week if [strike]Emiley[/strike] Emily and Ty win; Rachel and [strike]Anessa[/strike] Aneesa, the team that is out for your head. Real desperate, such an incredible act of deperation. This is no half measure, this is the full course baby. Pulling out all the stops. The one move nobody could have seen coming. Johnny Bannas, I applaud you! :drinks:
I have only but a few notes. One: How can anyone see Ty as attractive? Sorry I just really had gaps in peoples teeth I could fit Doritos in his two front teeth. Two: I have lost some more respect for CT/Mark/Johnny(Well I dislike Johnny more now than I did before) How is CT/Mark the two strongest vets arguably in the challenge kissing Johnny's ***? It's sad to watch. Johnny is just sad human being. Three: If it's going to keep being Johnny powerhousing everyone I'm going to have to stop watching it and just switch over to Revenge for the 9:00PM hour. As much as I love the challenges I like unpredictable side of the challenges the best not seasons like The Ruins/The Island/Anyseason JEK has dominated on has been on really. That is all. This season is going down on the terms of Johnny just annoys the **** out of me. Just for me anyways I bet a lot of people love it. (Also I predict Ty & Emily to go in every single time they don't win. There's no Wes, Rachel or rookies for Johnny to pick on so Ty & Emily will go in because Johnny controls the game and will tell everyone who to put in.)

Why get their hands dirty when they don't have to?
Wow, Camila looked sooo good in her gym attire... Ugh! Seriously Ty? [IMG]http://i44.tinypic.com/5zmu83.jpg[/IMG] LOL. "You're thinking with your ovaries"? Ovaries don't influence sex drive, Dummy Bear. Wow, in that fight with Diem, CT was ruthless ! The things he said to her... But then again, from the footage, it seems like she pushed him to his breaking point. I don't know if I posted this already, but it's so funny how Emily and Ty hooked up, and then Emily and Paula hooked up, and then now it's Ty and Paula. I guess they all have similar tastes... [QUOTE=Camille;298500]Ty is really good looking.[/QUOTE] Agreed. I never saw it cause he was too ******* and effeminate, but now that he's better, I can see past his personality and he is very attractive.

Well Diem called him a monster and brought up Adam stuff and how she was glad she left him, that kind of set him off. Who knows the order of all that with editing though, i am tired of the constant fights about the past. It's getting Ron/Sam like from Jersey shore, but not quite that bad. Just compete and try to let it go. If CT/Adam can get along, you would think anyone could. But in challenge related info, i really liked this mission. I hope the rest are more like this and less above water stuff.This mission seperated the guys/girls so their could actually be some physical competition to it.

But since Aneesa/Rachel left and Ty/Emily are gunning for Paula/Dunbar, I doubt that will happen.
Great episode as I predicted. I love Rachel. She's one of my favorites ever, but I'm starting to believe she did kind of throw Mark under the bus like Camilla stated an episode or two ago. because when Camilla brought up the fact that she and Anessa where aiming for her in the challenge, she tried to brush it off like it was in the heat of the moment and it wasn't the case. Lol @ Paula having absolutely no regards for her boyfriend what so ever. She and Ty not over sucked each others faces once, but on three separate occasions. I have absolutely no idea what CT and Diem were fighting about but it was fun.
I think it was awesome they had a same sex couple on the show. I don't think it was extremely fair physical wise, but still a good gesture. Rachel and Aneesa are 2 tough females and I was rooting for them to go all the way! Johnny has a great social game, but his reasoning for not trusting Rachel and calling her a snake is whack. He needed an "enemy" and picked Rachel. He was scared of her. I don't really like that the power couple gets to choose who gets sent in. It's always predictable. I think the Lesbians showed a great deal of heart in the game and made it far.

[QUOTE=stuufman;298638]Well like u said Im also tired of that drama from the very fist day they should left behind the past and move on.[/QUOTE] Yes, but... In a perfect world, all of the exes would have had a warm and fuzzy story line. I don't recall ever seeing a warm and fuzzy story line on a reality show. Such TV seems relegated to docudramas on Lifetime. Producers go out of their way to encourage and enable people to behave in ways that give the camera what it craves -- harsh, raw, sensibility-annoying drama. The simplistic view of many is that "the editors can only use what you give them." The fact is that reality producers, in general, have long been smart enough to know this and to 1) eploit the egos of cast members by privately encouraging them individually to say and do specific things (Tonya throwing Beth's clothes in swimming pool), or (2) to provide false or misleading ("secret") information to one or more cast member for the eplicit purpose of creating confrontation. One of the oldest tricks in the producer's Challenge Playbook is to provide a visit break for the cast, set as a visit to a local club, and ensure there are at least two camera crews present to record all the potentially useable after-effects of too much alcohol and testosterone (e.g., Mark "punching out" a bus.)
Yeah I can imagine the conversation a smart team should have on one of the club visits and it's something along the lines of "Some team is going to break down and be at each others' throats tonight. Let's not allow it to be us." Never fails... I wonder if TJ had more rules that we didn't see because that challenge seemed ripe for much more physicality than we saw. What would have stopped people from grabbing each others' legs and yanking them back down the slide? Seems like a reasonable tactic even a clearly-outmatched player could have exploited. Johnny should not have been able to breeze through that as quickly as he did. Kinda reflects poorly on the other top guys on the show. He had no resistance at all.

I forget who he said it to though. They didn't want to risk be DQed for not going for the ball. On The Duel 2 you saw Landon go down a point in a best of 3 in his Duel against Brad for slamming him to the ground instead of going for the hook.
Great Episode, great season, I'm impressed BMP!! Also, I can't wait til next week, can someone PM me or post in spoiler tags what happens next week that has Ty so heated/offended?? I'd check the spoiler thread, but I don't want to sift through it and risk seeing too much.

Was she forced to do it? Don't think so. She wanted drama and by throwing beths clothes in the pool on camera shows it..Rachel was the one who basically told her the suitcase was floating and to throw her clothes in the pool. Why would tonya show those pictures to beth? Obviously she wanted a fight and airtime. Its very evident that Tonya was trying so hard to play the victim and get airtime..trying even harder than V, Rachel, and Tina.
I'm starting to think that there is no "Fantastic Four" alliance, but three separate alliances that Johnny has with Mark, CT, and Paula, hence none of them would go after him, but would have no problem going after one another.
Did anyone else hear CTs interview where he said when we're in the final? It wasn't even said cocky or like a joke. It just flowed with what he said like the final had been set. Seems kind of weird that they said that.

Also I feel like I'm watching a totally different show with the song title episodes, lol. Anyway this episodes mission was very boring. And why did Aneesa go for Robin's ball instead of going somewhere else like her partner said? And the ***** line was uncalled for though she probably didn't mean it.

I seriously doubt this would've happened had it not been that dramatic or Beth's name ever came up. [QUOTE=CherryPie;298597]Wow, Camila looked sooo good in her gym attire... Ugh! Seriously Ty?

Camila did look okay though.

Since I arranged the rapprochement between Beth and Tonya the following summer during a photo shoot Beth (my business partner) and I produced, I'm rather better informed on the subject than you. Tonya and Beth are good friends today. Of course, this is off-topic standing alone.
Here's what I think Diem's problem is. She probably did have stuff going on in her life at the time business/career-wise that she felt she'd be better able to handle if she was able to devote 100% of her time to it rather than divide her time between those things and a relationship. When she broke up with Chris, she probably honestly felt in her heart that he would wait around 5 years or whatever for her to get her career launched and that they could pick up the relationship where it left off...but you can't just put a relationship on pause like that and expect the other person to stop living their life & seeking out things that make them happy. So, Chris moved on and has now been in two pretty long term relationships with other women since breaking up with Diem and Diem can't handle the fact that Chris doesn't need her in his life to be happy and he doesn't want her in his life anymore period. He told her that straight to her face in their argument that he didn't want "her to know him anymore" and she went into the denial stage spitting out things like "I know you still like me, I know you still love me" (shocking, right?) and when CT basically told her flat out NO and to leave him alone, she couldn't handle that reality and that's where the trademark Diem tears came from. Yeah, she's a pretty girl & Chris has always found her very attractive, but you need more than that to make a relationship work. You need trust & Chris is a pretty difficult person to deal with when it comes to people earning his trust. He trusted her, let her into his real life away from the shows which he doesn't do with anybody, and he got hurt and burned in the long run. Once you burn your bridge with Chris in his real life when it comes to trust, there's no rebuilding it. A Challenge setting is different when it's for a brief period and you're competing for money but as far as relationship, boyfriend/girlfriend terms...forget about it.
[QUOTE=townie;298713]Here's what I think Diem's problem is. [/QUOTE] Don't act like it's onesided. They both have problems Diem [B]AND [/B]CT. He's no angel people think he is. I think it's pretty messed up to screw around with a girl when you're exgf is in the same house. But I'm just old fashioned I guess.
And it's pretty screwed up to get all bent out of shape over the guy you dumped for a pretty flaky reason screwing other chicks & finding happiness with other people. The best revenge is living well & Diem can't stomach that CT is doing just that.
