[QUOTE=LurkerNoMore;423310]Only with some viewers, not all of us.[/QUOTE]
Maybe you're fine with how lame this season has turned out, but I've seen enough comments on here and on the show's IMDb board to know I'm not stating an unpopular opinion.
Perhaps someone with more kayaking experience can correct me if I am wrong, but: It is my understanding that the person in the back of the kayak is ultimately responsible for steering the boat (think rudder), therefore ZACH is the one at fault for their kayak going in circles. Johnny has a lot more experience with paddling than Zach, so I think that if he had been paired with Devyn for this first leg it would not have been a disaster for him. Johnny even said that he would have preferred to be paired with her on this first leg, because the current could do all the work and all she would have to do is sit in the kayak.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;423286]How about Rejects? I mean since they were RW finalists and all.[/QUOTE]
No , Let's call it a spade of spade . If this was the RW , they are Rejects but since they got cast on past challenges and subsequent challenges and hold the ability to eliminate other catmembers and compete in every aspect of a challenge like the Real Worlders and Road Rulers , they are cast members no matter how they were cast , It's sorta like saying someone like Sam is a "reject" since she did not make RW24 although making Season 26 . Just Saying.
[QUOTE=Camille;423233]Ooh scandal. Are you all listening to Devyn on the Afterbuzz? So I was right about Nany's tweets. Cara admitted in the green room at the reunion to Nany and Devyn that her crying when it was between her and Theresa going in was part of her political game. No wonder Nany tweeted "cry me a river" last week and talked about playing characters. I would be ****** too if I were Nany because Nany actually felt for her.
If this is true Cara is such a fake for getting mad at Theresa, and her fans have no clue.[/QUOTE]
For some reason, I think Cara crying was in fact real and her saying she was acting to Devyn and Nany wa a lie. I think she lies so that it doesn't make her look weak and playing the victim (which she hates it when people said she does). It seems like she wanna be looked at as a strong and strategic player than a crying baby. But she's so emotional I think her crying was real
[QUOTE=Debut Album;423268]
Cara couldn't even make it on The Real World herself so what does that say about her?[/QUOTE]
It says that production felt that she, without a minute of TV time, would be more valuable to the franchise than certain people that they filmed non-stop for fourth months yet were unable to be impactful despite only have 6/7 other people to deal with rather than 25+ on the challenge. Fresh Meat are essentially an admission my BMP that at least 25% of casting choices per season were mistakes. I don't know... I'd rather be someone who gets told "whoa we really whiffed on not picking you the first time, come do the next 7 shows" than someone who gets told "whoa, we probably shouldn't have gone with you to begin with, best of luck with your life, enjoy the memories".

I know I'm defending her to Debut, but I think she likes playing the victim. I saw a tweet last week where she basically wrote like I should've known Johnny would go for me and I'm dumb for being naive, and I should've gone after him while I had the chance instead of being nice. YET, the first time that she had the opportunity to, she not only voted him in, but was leading the pack on "let's go get Bananas". But of course that tweet inspires her less aware fans to give her the "that guy was a ****, you deserve to win" nonsense. To be honest, despite the fact that I think Devyn sucks at challenges and don't envy any of the guys when they work with her, I'm ok with the three girls who made it to the final. Laurel is the best female athlete there, Nany won the most challenges (with Jess, but she actually contributed), and Devyn probably played the best political game.
[QUOTE=Camille;422971]Nany and Laurel are like besties now though. I wonder if Nany has a problem with Cara Maria though because she tweeted "cry me a river" during last week's episode and made tweets about being herself not a character. I'm wondering if she meant Cara and she think's Cara is fake, so she's team Laurel.[/QUOTE]
It seems to me that she definitely does have a problem with Cara. It's sad, because Cara had tweeted some very nice things about Nany before the challenge started. Nany just seems very bitter o Twitter. I wonder if she's just trying to fit in since she's best friends with Laurel now.
[QUOTE=kvm1977;423020]This is why any sane guy should have gotten rid of Devyn[/QUOTE]
Bananas claims on Twitter that he got rid of Cara because he didn't want to be paired with her in the final. And still he was never concerned about Devyn? How stupid are these people? Cara would beat Devyn even if she was on a wheelchair.

I think so. Same goes with the canoe. The front simply provides power
[QUOTE=Youssarian;423103]It looks like she's not even trying... like [I]no attempt[/I] is being made by her...[/QUOTE]
This makes me so mad. I don't mind the fact that she's a weak competitor and sin't going to win the final, because not everybody on the show needs to be an olympic athlete. It does bother me, however, that she took the spot while two other girls were dying to do the final challenge and have fought their way to get there, while she doesn't even care. I will be so angry if she doesn't even complete the final and decides to throw it on the individual portion...

And Theresa in the mix would've made for a MUCH CLOSER competition. heck even CM with a broken hand
I think that last Pyramid was pretty much for first place barring some major **** up by Laurel or Nany secretly being a marathon superstar. Devyn won't win and, even though I think that Nany has pretty decent natural athleticism, the smoking/drinking/partying will wear on her in something long distance. Theresa knows how to condition herself by virtue of being a D1 athlete, and Laurel's just a freak. It's unfortunate that we couldn't see them run the final head to head.
[QUOTE=Npresh24;423315]To be completely fair , Kenny/Evan/Diem/Laurel all turned down being on The Real World. Diem and Laurel cause they didn't want to be that open and I believe Kenny and/or Evan were giving a choice between TRW and Challenges.[/QUOTE]
I believe Kenny was dating someone at the time so he turned it down. He was suppose to be on Autsitn. As for Key West BMP chose Bananas over Evan so I don't think Evan turned it down. Evan would have been way better than Jose or Zach..
In Devyn's case RE: paddling with Zach; unless somehow they beast-ed through the whole thing without having to communicate she was, pardon the pun, up **** creek without a paddle, in that it was really a lose-lose situation.
She could try and power through and suggest improvements to Zach and get berated
Or try and just and listen to Zach and do exactly what she was told, which is what it looks like she was doing and now it seems that she [I]wasn't even trying[/I].
As other people have said neither the circling nor the capsizing were her fault, it just adds to most people's opinions of her being useless.

Kenny mentions on Fresh Meat he got turned down but got a call to do challenges(Fresh meat) not TRW.
oop sorry off topic.
[QUOTE=boncat23;423342]Zach is not good under pressure. But I also did not like Zach's one liner: "I'm not happy right now" that made him look like a [B]little girl[/B].[/QUOTE]
Haha, I laughed when he said that. My exact thoughts.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;423313]Exactly. Not everyone cares about seeing the best competitors at the end.
I don't get why people are complain about the final elimination being a puzzle. We've already seen Ct and Backpack get physical with each other before. No need to see it again. And Laurel was gong to beat Theresa regardless of what it was. So it's not a big deal that it was a puzzle. At least for me.[/QUOTE]
Another delusional post by you. I don't see how watching Devyn gas out in a final is more entertaining than watching Theresa and Laurel fight for every inch to get to that finish line. Laurel literally has no competition. And even though we've seen Bananas VS CT in an elimination that does not mean another physical elimination with those 2 would in any way be "boring". Fans want a real rematch, not some ****** puzzles for the last elimination between 2 juggernauts.

Theresa in the mix instead of Devyn also make it closer race for the guys as well since pairs

@nanymtv hey sorry if you thought I walked around expecting to win... I don't expect to win. I have to work my absolute hardest.

@laurelstucky nah, it was only when we got to the final & it was just me and Dev left. Felt like you thought you had it in the bag already.

She's got a point.
[QUOTE=PlatosCave;423276]Cara Maria is a pretty talented actress because her cast impressions video was dead-on (from Exes/Seasons) - she nailed Jemmye and a few others. I think she did fake-cry on that one too when she was spoofing herself. So it's plausible to me that she plays a role or hams it up for the camera or fake-cries to get re-cast (she's not the only one who plays a character role, CT and Beth and others have too).
But why in the world is she also admitting it openly to Nany, etc.? Perhaps the cast/crew are in on the joke?[/QUOTE]
That's why I don't believe what Devyn said. Why the **** would Cara admit it to Nany? It just doesn't make any sense.
I don't even see anything that bad about fake crying. People do whatever they can to get the votes. I prefer fake crying to hooking up for votes (that's just disgusting) or getting into fake fights (Nany and Camila) to get camera time.
Also, if anyone on this Challenge is fake, it's Devyn, every single word that comes out of her mouth is rehearsed. Talk about playing a character...
[QUOTE=MTV Junky;423413]Cara Maria @CaraMariaMTV · 26m
Time to stop waiting on phone calls and start living life. Adios.

[QUOTE=PinkRose;423415]Calls for the next challenge are going out, she probably haven;t got one yet.[/QUOTE]
I don't think she came off as such an innocent victim/hero as BMP maybe wanted her to, so I wouldn't be surprised if she took a season off to revamp her "character/storylines"

Exactly. My first thought when they were going in circles was that Devyn should stop paddling immediately and give Zach a chance to figure out the controls, so when they showed that shot of him paddling and her paddle just sitting in her lap I thought, "Oh good, someone on that kayak realized what they were doing wrong", but now she gets blasted for not trying. I guess sometimes you just can't win. I don't even particularly like Devyn, so it is weird to be defending her, but it just seems really unfair to be blamed for something that isn't her fault.
