I dont understand why (johnny,frank,theresa) are concern about CT, like let him play his own game, and mind your own business. Idk but theresa did look a little bit jealous when they were talking about CT playing the girls, the more johnny and frank talk **** about CT the more they sound that they are jealous or something.

They did the same thing in rivals 1, remember but back then it was called **** blocking to do that, but they were right, he was just playing them. I remember Wes telling Mandi that he's playing her and later on she's all ****** off cause he said that one line about dropping flirty bait. Last time they didnt have anything to worry about, he couldnt actually get the girls to flip but this time when the girl votes actually matter and you have ppl in the middle like Ana/Jess then ya Johnny should be worried cause CT could get these ppl against him. Thats Johnny doing work, he's the one being manipulating, he's trying to make Ana feel bad so she would stop w/e she has with CT and try to make her turn against him so she votes against him, cause really when have they cared who ****s who unless it threatened their game?
Theresa should shut up though, the girl vote doesnt concern her and she shouldn't be talking since she was all gaga over Wes and Kenny, and she was all over Kenny on the 1st night then went and slobbered on Wes' face like the next day so its hypocritical for her to be badmouthing rookie girls
I've been trying to stay away until this started airing. Loved the first episode! So happy this show is back on. Sad that Road Rules has no representaion, but I will say this season feels like the old show. There isn't a Rookie overload of random people, and the new people we do have seem more familiar now.
Rooting for the Portland cast...I really enjoyed their season. I doubt they'll make it far, but I hope Anastasia & Jessica last for a few weeks!
Over all great episode, me and my friends never miss a season, it's fun bonding time. Even though I on accident read who the replacement for Naomi is, I told all my friends 'It's Shauvon, with New and Improved *****'......(made me laugh....anyways)
Excited to see where this season goes. TJ's twist with the voting was awesome, I did not expect that. D
I haven't wrote much of anything, but yeah, I'm just happy this show has returned! :D
What the **** happened to Wes? He goes from a dude who doesn't take **** from anyone, defiant, loud, jacked, a dude who gets in Johnny's and Darrell's face on The Ruins, CT's face on The Duel, everyone's face on Fresh Meat, a dude who worked Derrick in Pole Wrestle, a straight bad *** to this scrawny, weak, scared, coward, "CT scares me to death" type of dude. What the ****? Bring the old Wes back.
I never thought I would say this but after the first episode, I actually don't mind Frank from this episode's standpoint. I found CT to be rather annoying and obnoxious and I feel like he just hogs the camera and there really aren't many moments in this first episode that didn't have him front and center. Johnny and Frank are just chillin and CT is going around making rookie mistakes. Hopefully things change because CT looked like a fool in this episode.

I think MTV/BMP chose to edit it this way. Put more of CT and less of Frank so the ratings can be better.

I like to think he has gotten a bit wiser, realizes he doesn't have to act like a thug to get airtime and prestige. Now he just seems to enjoying playing his role, throwing in his remarks for the camera and taking it all in. I really think he takes these shows as a vacation, one he enjoys and likes to have fun with. I think he appreciates doing the challenges more than most and he isn't as concerned with winning or looking good anymore as he just wants the experience.
As for his physical stature, he says he has stopped working out. Losing a lot of the muscle may be good for him anyway because his cardio really took a hit when he packed on the pounds. Now Wes seems like he's just having fun out there which at the end of the day, that's what something like this should be all about.

They can't edit showing you doing something you didn't do to begin with....
This time around they choose to show CT for what he is and not the good guy edit he was given on Rivals and Exes(despite still making ppl cry and start unnecessary ****...)

From one episode you can discern that he is not getting the "good guy edit?" I'm impressed ... and dubious.
BTW, through a well-documented technique called Frankenbiting, I can edit you into someone who appears to have done things you didn't actually do. It is a time-honored thing on less-than-honest reality shows. There is even a clause in the challenge and RW contract that says you agree to it.

We were talking about the first episode.... and about actions that [I]were[/I] undoubtedly carried out(see starting **** with Marlon, screwing around with the girls for votes...etc..)... let's not pretend there was a need of "frankenbiting" CT..

I just don't understand how he thinks messing with lots of girls is going to get him votes. Won't they hate him for that?
Marlon shocked me, I wasn't expecting that but I'm glad he stood up for himself. CT is bat**** crazy this time around, I don't always remember him being this crazy or at least in the past he was better at hiding it. Johnny is still the same Johnny, lol the ********* act is kind of boring now. I did lol at Tyrie being a sore loser. Sucks that Naomi went home but she probably would've held Cooke back because she's not a good competitor.
Overall good first episode, my only complaint is I don't like how cheap this season looks. It's kind of distracting.

IA. And from what I understand he's super busy these days since he owns some sort of business back at home. So I do think these games are more like a vacation now, financially he seems to be doing well for himself. To me, he's actually playing the game smarter by doing all of this.
You're shocked... Marlon has never been one to let somebody push him around... But, he doesn't really hit CT back he just tries to hold his arm, CT was the one who was doing the slapping and shoving.
Running the pages after watching it on MTV.com last night during a slow graveyard shift.... Just too many **** commercials.
The fake OMG faces are certain partnerships was not surprising. Although I am curious how many takes it took for TJ to get it all correct. Of course, he had to mention the Twitter fight up front.
Glad to see Jonna and Nany do well (Ah, Nany.) Of course, I think everyone knew Paula & Emily would do it. Pleasantly surprised to see Trey and Zach pull it out. Makes me wonder if CT had gotten a good job would they be going another round.
CT flirtin' up a storm already and then, of course, in doing so it jacks over whatever plans Bananas had which is not a bad thing. Don't recall who mentioned it but Frank IS trying to make love to the camera. Although, I think targeting Bananas from the beginning is good but you may want to wait until the first elimination starts to happen to see how the voting transpires. Bananas needs to have the fear he could lose put into him at the beginning of every Challenge.
I'll give Marlon and Jordan credit at least for not backing down from a drunk CT. Although, I recall Marlon saying they are both cool now and he was too drunk to remember it really happening. Ana, we all knew was going to happen.
Tyrie, I do feel sorry for you regarding this entire Challenge.
Hey Dummy Bear, don't you have experience ringing someone's bell?
My general summation: Good episode overall (would have better without so many commercials) and I think this could be a really good Challenge because of the voting curveball more than anything.

Yeah he is the co-founder/lead investor at BetaBlox which is a company that helps start up businesses. You are completely right he pretty much goes on vacation and takes the signing bonus money he gets and throws it back into startups while also giving them the resources to succeed. Smart.
[QUOTE=DarkFights;352926]Does anyone know If Derrick Is going to do any Podcast of Rivals II[/QUOTE]
I saw a tweet from him suggesting he was done with podcasts. I think he stopped enjoying them--or stopped enjoyed cast members who felt entitled.
Oh I would love for Derrick to do the Podcast, but then you got little p*ssies like Frank who are going to go straight to Twitter to talk mad *** about Derrick, the second Derrick says something Frank doesn't like.
****. I hope Derrick isn't done. I really enjoyed listening to his podcast and the guests he got on. I always have afterbuzz but I prefer the podcasts with the challengers or people that know them. Brandon's were good but I think he stopped doing them too. Any other suggestions... those are the only ones I ever listened to.
Just to paint a picture of frank he refused to retweet that acenichols lady who does the youtube recaps and its pretty funny but no big deal.. But frank said he saw how she spoke about him on seasons and than insulted her and said how lame it was so this guy is just a jerk.. That ace lady said nothing but good natured stuff she actually just said sd wasnt worth talkin about and she wanted them to go home.... That ace lady asked him to do an intro and he ranted on her this was during seasons..
I saw commercial during the repeat episode it appears ct frank fight may be next... I have noticed frank gets along with most of the girls now except maybe nany so he could skate through in future shows so hope he is done after this but he said he is open to another if around his schedule

lol this guy sounds exactly like Wes, or youve been watching too many of those videos he tweets about his company, I clicked the link to his website on his twitter and creeped the pics, its weird seeing him in a suite.....and a lot of his business partners look like a bunch of old guys, like I wonder if they watched mtv and saw all his comments about being a greek god and w/e haha
[QUOTE=DarkFights;352926]Does anyone know If Derrick Is going to do any Podcast of Rivals II[/QUOTE]
Maybe he's mad his twitter beef didnt get him on the show, whats the deal with Derrick anyways, why dont they invite him back anymore? He used tweet about the show but now he seems like he wants nothing to do with MTV and has used the crossfit thing to make up for it
My last opinions after re-watching
Johnny: "Now we have to listen to these two idiots brag about themselves" - You have your own bobble head for ****** sakes and you probably talk the most in the entire house.
Johnny: "That was a rookie move" - A rookie has never had the balls. I don't get why everyone was so dramatic about it, look at how Darrell got screwed. That being said... Johnny and Frank weren't going anywhere anyway and CT sucks politically, Wes would have done a better job than that.
Johnny: "We were just talking about the girls that can't think in this house and you just showed up on cue" - Best quote of the night (if I wrote that correctly).
TJ you're a sly motherf'er. I loved how they had him reveal the rules as the round went along from the opening to the mission to the deliberation.
Trey and Zach winning the mission / Nany and Jonna getting 2nd place / Naomi and Cooke / Derek and Robb's win - Some beautiful moments right there.
CT and Diem twilight story-line should have been the last of it on Exes 2 but it's not bothersome. Fangirls love their CT and Diem.
Dunbar - FAIL. And you had the ****tiest attitude for someone who messed your team up twice in the round both mission and elimination.
This guys voting girls/girls voting guys I say it's pretty **** interesting so we'll see how this will go.
My thoughts on this episode are: Every season Zach seems bigger and his hair looks longer. Wes seems laid back. CT knows Johnny is his biggest threat there.
