Sooo Dani Victor just came on the Afterbuzz. Here comes the trashy mess, as she immediately announces that she's making a "guest mother******* appearance" and states she has more fans than Zach and Jonna combined. Ha! I didn't think Trey's segment was trashy at all though!
[quote][B]Big Easy[/B] (The Challenge), 60 points: When you're in a competition and carrying Camila's weight on your shoulders under the watch of T.J. Lavin ... anything is possible. The fear of their wrath upon failure alone could motivate you to accomplish superhuman feats. You ever hear those stories about people lifting cars to save loved ones? The power of love and the chemistry of adrenaline that brought out that supernatural strength in them is nothing compared to the fear the wrath of T.J. Lavin and Camila would bring you were you in Big Easy's shoes this week on The Challenge. Nothing. Big Easy's challenge was to lift Camila off the ground with a rope so she could do a puzzle. The lifting got hard, Camila got demonic, and Big Easy had enough. Big Easy quit on Camila. Yep, you read that right, in front of both T.J. and Camila, in the middle of an elimination Challenge, these words came out of Big Easy's mouth: "Camila, I am done" (30 points). Now, before we even get into her response, let's consider the repercussions of that statement. Big Easy quitting in the middle of an elimination means that Camila is also eliminated, it means that he quit in front of known quitter-hater T.J. Lavin, and it means this is the second time that Big Easy's lack of determination and ****** juice has cost his team a win. As you can imagine, it did not go over well with Camila (5 points): Camila: "You are not done! This is not fair. He is quitting, NOT ME! I am going to climb this motherbleeper if I have to, you son of a *****. I am going to climb this bleep -- I AM NOT GIVING UP BECAUSE OF YOU. I am not losing because of you. It's not fair. He is done, I am not, so what do we do now [looks off-camera to producers]? I'll go in the bleeping water. You want me to go in the water? I'll go in the water. Bleep you, you piece of bleep. You ruin our team. You are a disgrace to the human kind. You are a loser. You are a selfish little loser. You are a selfish mother bleeper, you are a piece of bleep, yeah, bleep you, dude. Go to bleeping hell." Naturally, Big Easy cried (20 points). Although it would be reason enough, I don't think he cried solely due to the words that Camila spoke to him. He cried because he doesn't belong. Season after season, year after year, this show has been morphing from goofy entertainment into a sporting event, and, try as he may, Big Easy just can't evolve along with it. So much so that GRTFL favorite (read: Jacoby favorite) Cara Maria had this to say about how Eric was viewed by his potential teammates: "For the record, think Laurel and Evelyn got wind of the fact that Big Easy might be on Fresh Meat team ... and as soon as they heard Big Easy, they're like, 'I'm not doing this show.'" After being out-masculined by Camila and comforted by Devyn (5 makeout points), there was still one more thing that Easy had to face: T.J. T.J. really hates ... well, let's go to the tape: T.J.: "There is one thing I hate worse than anything else in the world ... and that's quitters. Big Easy, man, why did you quit?" Big Easy: "Couldn't fight an uphill battle, man. It wasn't going our way, and it didn't look like anything was going to change." T.J.: "When the chips are down, bro, don't you think you should just give it to 'em?" Big Easy: "I've been givin' it to 'em since I got here and I'm over it." T.J.: "You gonna let your teammate down like that?" Big Easy: "She is not my teammate, we have been playing a single person's game ever since I got into this house. It is what it is, words are words." Full disclosure, I have no idea what "when the chips are down," "givin' it to 'em," and "words are words" mean, but I do know that we will never see Big Easy in a Challenge again. T.J. does not forgive. [B]Devyn[/B] (The Challenge), 15 points: Devyn won an elimination (10 points) and kissed Big Easy The Quitter (5 points), but none of that matters. All that matters is that they had the trivia challenge this week. What's the trivia challenge? It's when the cast gets suspended over water and asked simple questions that test their intellectual prowess. They all fail. This week's Top Five (really seven -- I mean, who could stop at five?) is the top five (seven) tremendous things that happened on this week's trivia challenge ranked from "That sounds cool" to "Oh my god, is it possible to get a tattoo of a GIF on your body?": Top five (actually seven) things from the trivia challenge: 7. T.J.: Who did Prince William marry? Knight The Sociopath: "I have no idea" Jemmye (his ex): "Knight, we watched it ... " [Granted, this doesn't sound tremendous, but the idea of the conversation that Jemmye and Knight had while watching the royal wedding really entertained me.] 6. T.J.: "What is the capitol of England?" Jasmine: [after careful consideration] "Liverpool" 5. T.J.: "Which basketball player was married to Kim Kardashian?" Alton: "Kris Duncan." 4. T.J.: "In basketball, what city are the Suns from?" Preston Who I Have Never Seen In The Same Room As Rajon Rondo: "Utah." [How does Rajon Rondo not know where the Suns play?] 3. T.J.: "The Challenge has been produced on how many continents? Don't have to name the continents, just how many?" Ashley: "21." 2. T.J.: "In what country was the very first Fresh Meat filmed?" McKenzie: "Europe." 1. Dustin: [after Nany gets an answer right] "I couldn't be more proud of Nany if I was her father." Now before you say to yourself, "What was so tremendous about that last one?," consider how proud her father is of her ... [B]Camila[/B] (The Challenge, House), 10 points: Camila got all demonic (5 points) and cry-y (5 points) during her tirade against Big Easy The Quitter and inspired Trishelle to add her two cents: "Camila says the most horrible, degrading things to Big Easy. I don't think anyone deserves that. I don't think anyone deserve to be treated like that." I have no idea how it happened, but Trishelle, the girl from Playboy Cyber Club, has become the moral center of this show. [B]JD, Chet, and Sarah[/B] (The Challenge, various GRTFL Teams), 10 points: Each of these folks won an elimination Challenge (10 points) but each of these folks also found him- or herself at an unfair advantage on the path to victory. Allow me to explain: JD: See, for a living, JD trains whales and dolphins and was a competitive swimmer. In the elimination challenge when he faced off against Big Easy, half of his role was base on ability to be submerged in water. Unfair. Sarah [upon hearing there was a trivia challenge] "I love trivia. It is even on my business card. It says speaker, artist, trivia master." Dear Sarah, none of those things that are listed on your business card are actual businesses. Let's be honest, your card should read, "That chick from The Challenge who looks better this year but you can't determine exactly why." Chet: Chet went up against Preston Who I Have Never Seen In The Same Room As Rajon Rondo in a challenge that involved height, agility, ball handling, and quickness. Chet won. I'm starting to get the feeling that Preston from Real World New Orleans and Rajon Rondo are two different people. Crazy, right? [B]McKenzie[/B] (The Challenge, Lisanti), 5 points: McKenzie's teary (5 points) exit speech from The Challenge contained by far the funniest line of the week: "I feel awful leaving Knight and Jemmye as a two-person team. Coming into this house I had looked at Knight, Jemmye, and Preston [who I no longer think is Rajon Rondo] as just my roommates. Now I actually consider them my friends. I really hope they can make the city of New Orleans proud." News flash, McKenzie: You're some chick who blacked out on Bourbon Street for 45 nights in a row. You aren't a backline band, the Saints, or a flooded neighborhood. New Orleans couldn't give less of a **** about you.[/quote] [url=http://www.grantland.com/blog/hollywood-prospectus/post/_/id/60208/grantland-reality-fantasy-league-3]via[/url]
[QUOTE=molds13;323157]1. Dustin: [after Nany gets an answer right] “I couldn’t be more proud of Nany if I was her father.” Now before you say to yourself, “What was so tremendous about that last one?,” consider how proud her father is of her …[/QUOTE] Hahaha oh man. That made me laugh pretty hard.
Isn't Nany's dad dead?
[QUOTE=ChallengeGod;323163]Isn't nany's dad dead?[/QUOTE] And she never met him either...... Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird when he said that.
[QUOTE=arilicious;323164]And she never met him either...... Yeah, I thought that was a bit weird when he said that.[/QUOTE] That and "turn those lemons into watermelons" line from last week. Something is a bit off about Dustin sometimes.
My thought on this episode: I never liked Big Easy, so I'm glad he left along with Camila. I was hoping for Brooklyn to win to send in San Diego or Cancun. I thought Frank was going to win. I think it's total "insert word here" that McKenzie and Preston went in- if Knight went in then it may have been different (although I don't want Brooklyn losing their team, so it's a lose lose). I don't like Zach, Frank, Jonna, and CJ. I know this is off-topic, but I want to express my thoughts to why I don't like him. On Fresh Meat 2 Wes threw Danny in instead of CJ and in this season CJ was still mad at him for putting him in before Landon or Ev? Get out of here CJ! Now that he in the same position he acts like a *insert word here* If Las Vegas or Brooklyn wins, I'll be good. The End
Dustin is off sometimes but he's so harmless. I don't understand how anyone can get mad at him .
OH DARN, Preston and McKenzie left! Now the show is gonna be SO boring! :(
[QUOTE=Sloan;323127]Mainly Trishelle's. ... [/QUOTE] Well, obviously you are oblivious to the facts of challenge production as I laid them out rather clearly. I'm sorry that I can't, in this instance, respect your opinion.
[QUOTE=V1man;323223]Well, obviously you are oblivious to the facts of challenge production as I laid them out rather clearly. I'm sorry that I can't, in this instance, respect your opinion.[/QUOTE] I guess I'd have to go back and watch the episode to see what exactly Trishelle's quote was, because I can't remember it verbatim right now, but I came away with the impression that she was the one to make the ultimate decision not to compete. It sounded like the medics suggested she could sit out, but didn't forbid her from competing. So, I shall revise my answer... If the medics forbade her from competing: weak sauce on their part. If Trishelle is the one who made the decision not to compete: weak sauce on her part. I remain convinced that there was some weak sauce going on. Somewhere.

[QUOTE=CherryPie;323375]How is it weak sauce on their part?[/QUOTE] I think he just really wanted Trishelle to compete.
Haven't really been commenting on these lately because I don't watch them live. Airing this show against new episodes of South Park is like if WWE decided to put Raw against Monday Night Football. Oh wait, that's what they do. Anyways...I'm not a fan of Big Easy quitting, but I'm completely okay with him doing it to get Camila off of this show. Taking a castmember from a one-off special they did on the beach while Evan sat there with a headset on making fun of everyone and putting her on this show was just outright pathetic. Even more ridiculous is that they put her on 4 of these in a row. I can understand her being frustrated with Eric, but the personal attacks are unnecessary and showed a total lack of class. Why's she freaking out anyway? It's not like she's losing money from Easy quitting...there was no way they weren't going to get sent home at some point. I find her incredibly annoying and they should stop bringing her back. I'm tired of her whole "fiery Brazilian" persona. Saw some people arguing about who was hotter, Nany or Jonna? I say Nany, and it's not even close. How did she fall for loser Adam Royer? They need to have one of these trivia-style challenges every season. It provides some much-needed comic relief. I saw the sneak peek for the next episode on MTV.com. Hey Frank, ****. He's trying to goad Alton into swinging at him? What a ******. I remember TJ said on the BS Report a couple years ago that he wished people would get sent home for baiting other people into fighting. And Frank referred to Alton as "condescending and overdramatic". Has this kid seen himself on TV? He threw a hissy fit because one of his roommates wouldn't cheat on her boyfriend with him.

[/QUOTE] There are WAY too many shows at 10pm Wednesday. There's this, Nashville, CSI, (new show) Chicago Fire (which I wanted to watch, but can't because of this), South Park like you said, The Soup (which I also want to watch but can't), Couples Therapy (want to watch, can't) and of course, American Horror Story is a popular show. This time slot sucks. TBH, if I weren't such a devout RW/Challenge fan, I probably wouldn't be watching this season.....

I'm not a fan of Camila but including her is no different than including Fresh Meat IMO. Regardless if you like her or not she deserved better than what she got from Eric. All that said, I'm definitely fine with her not being in the next challenge.
Ya know I think this season is good and better than the last two. The eliminations are much better, and I'd rather watch the rookies drama then Paula/Johnny/Jenn/Robin/Aneesa/ and especially Ty's drama. As long as they make challenges that aren't riggable by the alliance it should be good from here on out.

And Wes also made the decision to throw in Danny/Sandy when he didn't have to. So basically they betrayed their alliance, and that's how everything fell apart. I had no problem with CJ throwing Wes in after that.
Such a bumer. If Chet could've spelled the word (albeit a tricky one) Brookyln probably becomes power team and the entire game flips. Would've been a blast to watch all the "hotshot" rookies squirm and panick. Alas, next season.

I still think the categories should have included STDs, pharmaceutical drugs, cheap liquor, and TMZ. The challenge may have lasted longer.

However, I feel like any team would of beat Preston & McKenzie in all of the elimination rounds, with few exceptions. McKenzie seems physically stronger than most of the girls on this challenge (she beat Nany in their wrestling match), so she might have excelled at the physical elimination. I don't believe Preston would of had a shot against anyone in physical. Strategy/Endurance was their best chance of winning, and while they came really close the first round they still lost. I do have a feeling they [I]could[/I] have beaten JD & Devyn in that round (even SD or Cancun if Sam/Jasmine were in such a round because they're not very strong and are short). Anyway, it would have been nice for these rookies to squirm. They're sitting too comfortably at the moment.

Keep in mind you can't write the word down so you have to just imagine the spelling of it, while also fearing your impending doom if you don't get it right
