That was a really good Jungle. I was so glad when Jasmine and Jonna won! Sarah was way too cocky and definitely did underestimate Jonna. I'm glad it was Jonna who actually got them the win. Sarah had a big mouth this entire episode. I loved the look on Wes' face when Jasmine and Jonna won too. He is very delusional to think he runs the house. JEK continue to run the house, and as soon as the next challenge comes along, he will not be a part of that alliance. This has been a great challenge so far. Making the team who does the worst automatically go into the Jungle was one of the best ideas they've had. And seeing random teams win the challenges is pretty cool too. I definitely didn't expect Jenn and Mandi to win tonight. Also, what is so gross about Adam? All the girls acted like he was a straight up creep. I've never gotten that vibe from him...
[QUOTE=Insider;261648]You can be both boy crazy and intelligent. :D[/QUOTE] oh for sure. I said on shows I watched with her she was portrayed as boy crazy DITZ. She was on some reality show where she was a cocktail waitress and all the other waitresses thought she was a ditz. Jonna's always good tv though. I hope she becomes a challenge regular. If the challenges continue.

what annoyed me most is the veterans like Wes and Johnny trying to use the excuse "you didn't vote the way we wanted last time" to vote in Jonna and Jasmine. Let's be real, you were going to vote them in anyway. You weren't going to vote in your friends Paula, Jenn, or Laurel. And Leroy just said something I like. He said he thinks on a future challenge they shouldn't put a bunch of vets on the cast because then they have all the votes and it's not fair to the others and it's just the same people winning over and over. They should do a challenge with mostly rookies and very few vets because there are a lot of people on the Real World haven't been on a challenge. Get some of Back to New Orleans on there, get Nany, Dustin and Cooke on a challenge, bring back Noor.
In the mid teaser, they showed johnny on the ground with his helmet, and if you pause the trailer when they show CT hitting both tyler and johnny, it looks like CT's fist hits Johnny's helmet (head). Also, theres no jungle showing CT/Johnny, so do you guys think maybe CT got sent home because of violence yet again? I hope not, that would tank ratings BIG TIME
I really enjoyed this episode. The white water rafting gave me Road Rules vibes for some reason, and I've only seen clips of RR. Evan was his usual self in tonight's episode. He likes to be in the middle of all the drama for camera time. Evan carrying Jasmine back to Jonna definitely reminded me of him "consoling" Tonya on The Ruins. This episodes Jungle was by far the best we've seen. It was intense, and I liked that there was a physical aspect and a mental aspect to it. Jasmine and Jonna are definitely surprising me. Who would have thought they'd do this good? Perhaps Jonna's fro is good luck? :rolleyes:
I loved this episode! What a great episode! First of all, I read on Jonna's Twitter that she got her hair wet in a challenge or something and couldn't take a shower for 12 hours, so they had to cut her weave out and she was forced to have her fro. That said, I giggle a bit inside every time she's in an interview. Evan picking Jasmine up in the middle of her tirade was hilarious! I really don't like him, but that definitely made me soften up to him a little bit. Although I really don't understand what their argument was about. I really like that a bunch of different teams are winning! It's nice to see the competition not dominated by one or two teams. Congrats Mandi on her first challenge win! The whole Adam/Jenn storyline was just...painfully awkward. That's really all I need to say. Though I was rooting for Jonna/Jasmine, it was really sad seeing Katelynn (and to a lesser extent, Sarah) go...but it was hilarious when TJ just shut Sarah off and took Katelynn and Jasmine away. Also, Sarah, "I'm better at...some things. Some things." Woooow. Apparently not puzzles. And, lastly, I'm sorry to gush about this but...GO JONNA!!! I've said this like fifty times already, but she was the reason I started watching the Challenges because I used to be obsessed with Endurance...and she really proved to everyone there how much she can kick butt! I hope she takes some of that Endurance charm and uses it and goes on winning the whole thing!! I wish she would've mentioned it in the episode, but it [i]was[/i] on MTV's site.
Yeah I agree with you vital. always feel that Evan is fake. I think Nehemiah was right on the Derrick podcast what he said about Evan not really having confidence so he puts on this act and focuses on everyone else. I also agree this was the best Rivals episode yet.
This was a Jungle where I actually didn't want either team to lose. I'd want my final girls to be these two teams plus Evelyn and Paula. Sad to see Katelynn (and Sarah in tow) leave the show tonight. But I'm happy to see their friendship is back. As for Evelyn and Cara Maria wearing Jasmine and Jonna's shirts, I think I remember on the Jonna/Jasmine podcast with Derrick they mentioned the four of them roomed together and got along really well. So, if I had to guess, Ev and Cara Maria were being supportive roommates. EDIT: Have Kenny and Wes completed a single challenge yet? I feel like they've gotten all DQ's...someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Jasmine cracked me up this episode. "It's Club Jungle!" Haha, I like Sarah and Katelynn, but I'm glad they won. Kenny & Wes are complete flops together, and it's amazing to watch.

I liked this jungle the most so far. One person had to have good stamina to dig out their partner, plus you also had to do the puzzle, so you get a bit of both worlds. I cannot stand Sarah, she's always so cocky, was good to see her lose to the rookies. And poor Adam :(
I really love this season, but I agree that the Jenn and Adam's story line was awkward. It's OK though because I've never been the biggest Adam fan. While Jenn was saying mean things, Adam did seem kind of obsessive. I thought it was funny that Jasmine and Jonna could barely get the pieces off the poles during the puzzle. For some reason I thought Jonna looked really funny during the elimination. She was just prancing around (at times) as Jasmine was moving the pieces. But I guess it worked for them. They did great.
Overall good episode I think. As did most people, I also liked the elimination, reminded me of the "good ole' days." I have to admit, they have been making the eliminations so that both teams basically have good chances of winning, I like that.

Adam was so giddy to go to Jenn's room, so sad how it turned out. He totally was into her. I feel bad that she was trying to save face in front of the girls for even kissing him, that is harsh stuff since they are actually friends and she knows he is in love with her. Overall a decent episode. Hearing teams who have proven nothing be so arrogant and than lose is pretty funny, mostly Sarah. Guys jungle episodes are more intense so i like them better but that's just me.
Haha at one of the tags being "Road Rules is dead"... It has been for awhile, sadly. As for this episode, I enjoyed it! I don't know why, but I always think that I'm going to like Sarah, and then something happens later on down the line that makes me not like her at all. She didn't really do anything bad in this episode, she was just way too confident and it irritated me, I guess. Four challenges in a row and she still hasn't won. ****. Jonna and Jasmine are my favs, which is strange considering I disliked them a lot while watching Cancun. Eh. Underdogs are usually my favorites, I guess.
In my opinion, which I rarely offer, this episode contained a very interesting "jungle" preceded by one of the most cringe-worthy episodes I can recall in a very, very long time. I don't know how MTV expects viewers to hang around for the interesting ending (too bad we didn't really see good video of this "jungle," though--terrible camera work and editing). BTW, I'd add a tag if I could which would read "on life support."
Can someone tell me what the puzzle they actually had to do is called? As I said, I've seen it before, but I have no idea what kind of puzzle it is or if there's a name for it.
I thought the whole thing with Adam & Jenn was kind of funny. Adam's just such a nerd & a hopeless romantic and Jenn's just more of a party girl/whatever happens happens I'm just here for a good time kind of person. Seems like everytime an attractive chick gives Adam the time of day (and this dates back to his Real World season) that he thinks they want to date him & that stuff has to be serious between them. I think the other guys have kind of noticed that about him too & that's kind of why they were sort poking fun at him in a passive/aggressive kind of way. Can definitely see why he'd be so crushed though given the type of sensitive guy he is. He's probably fantasized about getting Jenn in bed & making out with her and groping her since he first laid eyes on her and he probably thought he hit the jackpot in life but to her, it was just another night of fun haha
[QUOTE=eggrolledsnake;261619]Ev wearing the Jonna shirt and Cara Maria wearing the Jasmine one is actually pretty awesome. Nice coordination. haha[/QUOTE] I liked that a lot! Even though Ev is a vet and part of the alliance, not afraid to root for her bud/roommate. [QUOTE=fabulous788;261637]Probably my favorite jungle to date. Katelynn just always happens to say the best things at the best moments. Next time go with your gut![/QUOTE] I really enjoyed this Jungle!! I liked how it combined physical and mental. haha "something is intrinsically wrong with this puzzle..." that cracked me up, then say something! Sarah even though she doesn't trust you much knows you are smart too! [QUOTE=Morris1721;261640]Love seeing all the Vets faces. It's really awesome seeing two Rookies doing so well at this game. Jasmine's hilarious and I'm glad we get to see more of them.[/QUOTE] Sad to see Sarah go, although yes she has been annoying post Ruins, unfortunately. I like many others thought she learned her lesson on FM2, but I guess not. Hopefully she can be a little more humble, at least to the cameras, or I might not be a fan much longer (just like with Wes, used to be a huge fan but not so much anymore). Also surprised Jenn/Mandi won, but at the start of this challenge I was thinking it could be anyone's to win because with rafting there are lots of variables to consider (like different paths because of the rocks). Glad Tyler is winning! And that he and Johnny are getting along this challenge. I also liked C.T. asking Adam again if they were buddies, the beat somebody up comment was funny too!! Overall not so exciting challenge for me (although yes it was pretty cool), but great Jungle!!!

And ouch from Jenn that's really harsh, just say it was a drunken night of fun and leave it at that lol.
Finally, a nail-biting Jungle. So happy to see Sarah get destroyed!
Yeah... Adam got OWNED! *******it, I felt so nervous watching Jenn rip him a new ******* that I had to literally turn my face away as I felt like it were happening to me. ****, that was truly painful, and that's the way life hands you your *** on silver platter: I am deep in this chick, she thinks you''re a ***** psychopath whom with she flies the clock while she's bored!
I loved how the whole cast thought Sarah and Katelynn were gonna beat Jonna and Jasmine in the Jungle because of the puzzle at the end, little did they know Jonna was a master at puzzles and that she won a reality competition show before by solving complicated puzzles and having good physical endurance.
I like Sarah and Katelynn but it's always nice to see people look stupid on television. I mean, isn't that why we watch these things? Being over-confident will get you every time. Jonna and Jasmine are not only underdogs, but they're a hot MESS. Who doesn't want to root for that!? What a ****show those two little spunky ladies are! I'll continue rooting for Lee/MikeMike and J&J! Screw the veterans. Sure, these two teams don't have a shot in **** at the finale (Jasmine will surely implode before then), but still. What fun!
Lol at Adam thinking he has a chance with Jenn. I'm suprised that this was Mandi's first Challenge win. Didn't she win when she was on the red team on Cut Throat? Or was she gone by then? I don't think Sarah should speak before any elimination rounds ever. Didn't she learn fron FM 2? I'm glad that Jasmine and Jonna won. :)

(Or something very similar to that).[/QUOTE] Hopefully, we'll see more of this. It's much better than the "Jaz goes crazy again" storyline but it's a friendship, not a bromance or a showmance, so I'm not sure they know what to do with it.
