[QUOTE=Camille;270388]I think because she was portrayed as a loose woman on her show, she's sensitive to that.[/QUOTE] re: Jenn, I think that's exactly it. Or maybe she had someone at home that she was seeing while filming the Challenge, and that's why she denies ever having sex with Adam. To cover her own ***. Who knows?
[QUOTE=cryssy19;275510]I thought CT came off as real and funny in the Reunion. I liked that. I loved when he told Johnny "Why can't you just let me shine?" or something like that. LOL. It's true, Johnny wants the spotlight all the time, just let CT talk. He's so obnoxious. I also liked how Laurel handled herself (based on the edit and what we heard). [B]She did not use every opportunity that someone else (ahem. Jenn, Paula) cut across her to be super mean to them and cuss them out[/B], she took the high road it would seem (except when she called Jenn a pothead... can't say I totally blame her though). [/QUOTE] Seems like she was egging Jenn on in the whole Adam + Jenn discussion that had nothing to do with her. Not sure that would really qualify as mature.
Did anyone notice the Paula's Coral imitation when see was saying, "I can't handle that ****, I never said I could handle that ****." It reminded me of Coral so much. Also, Paula was extremely annoying during the reunion. I know she had her feelings hurt by personal attacks but gosh, that was like 4 months ago and Maria asked Laurel a question. These personalities are so stale, I kind of wished this was the last season.
[QUOTE=v123;275598]Seems like she was egging Jenn on in the whole Adam + Jenn discussion that had nothing to do with her. Not sure that would really qualify as mature.[/QUOTE] I said I liked how she handled herself... not necessarily that it was the most mature thing she could do. Other than that, everyone cut over others when the topic was clearly none of their business (except a select few).
I personally loved Evelyn's body language when they showed her during Jenn's rants; she was leaning way over to her right as if she wanted to put as much distance as possible between herself and all that melodrama. Can't say that I blame her. She always manages to be so calm on these reunions. And it's not really relevant to the whole tone of the reunion but I loved that Evelyn was dressed like a normal person, which can't be said for the other girls. Not that they looked hideous or anything but honestly, how do they walk in those shoes? I'd snap my ankles in two just trying to put them on.
It still annoys me how the editing basically threw Laurel under the bus and made the viewers who don't know what a lot of us know think that she messed around with Paula's ex, but at the same time completely got rid of what would've proved that Jenn was a liar. Even more than that, ADAM IS ACTUALLY ON THE SHOW. This Lance character has nothing to do with the show and was given time that could've been spent on people who have actually been on my television screen.

[QUOTE=v123;275598]Seems like she was egging Jenn on in the whole Adam + Jenn discussion that had nothing to do with her. Not sure that would really qualify as mature.[/QUOTE] This is Laurel correct? Jenn accused Laurel of sleeping with two people that she did not hook up with. These were proven by phone calls and one of the men being in the audience. Laurel's got every right to mention Adam since it actually happened.

Also, wasn't Jenn's bringing up of Paula's ex in response and retaliation to Laurel's comments on the Adam situation? Looks like Laurel only got into Jenn's business because Jenn jumped in for Paula during the whole fake apology discussion. Personally I don't think either of them looked particularly good.
It sounds to me like the only reason Laurel got into that thing is because of how ridiculous Jenn was being and how she was practically attacking Adam for throwing out the truth and trying to make him look like trash. I don't know about y'all, but when someone I know who I like and I think is in the right is getting unfairly yelled and ******* at for something that they're in the right about, I'll say something. Maybe it's not my business, but Adam didn't deserve that verbal attack from Jenn.
I've always disliked Jenn because of how little effort she has to put in and how she skates to the finals without sniffing an elimination, but the reunion just confirmed it for me From what I understand, she got a good edit and she still looked absolutely terrible. All she did was attack people and yell for no reason and lie, lie, and lie some more. I'm glad that she's never coming back because the way she yelled at Adam and left him hanging was tough, you could tell the guy was heart-broken and really hurt. If she does come back, it would be nice if she got thrown in an elimination round with a powerhouse like Laurel so someone can finally put her in her place. And Johnny is still really immature. He was acting like an annoying 7 year old that never shuts up. I thought CT composed himself really well in comparison to Johnny, who seemed like he was on a mission to make CT out as this rageholic *******. I'm personally hoping that on the next challenge Johnny ends up in an elimination round with CT cause apparently he wasn't humbled enough the first time
Team Laurel, at least she handled herself well. Jenn is so annoying, so fake, so manipulative, and btw Jenn, yelling everything does not make you right about everything. Paula needs to get over it as well. Also, as much as it's weird to admit it, Johnny and Kenny have become 2 of my favorite Challengers again.
[QUOTE=molds13;270367]Laurel tried to apologize. Jenn and Paula wanted nothing to do with it and kept going back to Big Easy. Jenn started freaking out, saying it was all Laurel that tried to turn against the alliance and that it was Laurel that made Jenn hate Cara Maria. Laurel and Jenn went back and forth, Jenn called Laurel a stupid fat ***** who has been ******* Paula's ex behind everyone's back and that Laurel is a coward and begged Brandon to hook up with her two days ago. Brandon was in the audience and denied it. This went on for about an hour, with CT, Evelyn and Cara Maria all backing up Laurel, saying that when someone gets picked on it's usually a stronger player being picked on by a bandwagon of weaker players because they are all scared. This caused Jenn, Tyler and Johnny to go off saying they weren't afraid. In the middle of all this, Laurel called Paula's ex and he said nothing happened. Then they went to a break; Laurel stormed off the stage and called Jenn a crack head. One by one people came back from the green room except Laurel. Cara and Ev then went to get Laurel and the audience found out that back stage Jenn went for Laurel's jugular. .[/QUOTE] I wonder why Leroy and Nehemiah denied this ever happening in the radio talk show. It seems as though they both don't want to throw Jenn under the bus or they don't want to talk about it or maybe they just missed that part.

He looked like a fool constantly attacking CT during the reunion. Grow up!! You and Tyler won, leave the guy alone... he didn't even make it to the finals. Stop acting like you're the strongest competitor. Like Ev said, own up to the fact that you were scared of CT and that's why you wanted him gone.
Is it just me or did it look like Wes wanted to cry at the reunion?! he usually puts his best cocky face forward lol. this time there was something different about him.. Jenn was sooo obviously trying to get the spotlight off of her...haha. Poor Adam, he should've never messed with her.
I feel like every argument during the reunion was petty. The only thing anyone was arguing for was their self image. There was only a few genuine moments. The only one that comes to mind was when Adam was talking about his new friendship with CT.
[QUOTE=cryssy19;275538]I didn't hear that podcast, but I also didn't hear Laurel deny Jenn's wanting to go into the Jungle on the reunion. I heard her deny talking crap to Jenn about Cara Maria. Furthermore... IMO, Jenn has been sliding down this slope in her past few challenges, and it reached to the point where it's tiring now, so I don't consider people who dislike her now (especially after hearing the report about the UNedited version of the Reunion) to be fickle... maybe some people are, but maybe others are making a sincere and valid observation and opinionated judgement based on 'facts.' In addition... Jenn lying about not sleeping with Adam, then lying about Laurel sleeping with Paula's ex does not help her cause by making her anymore trustworthy in her other statements. Just my opinion.[/QUOTE] Not only did Laurel say Jenn was afraid of gaping into the Jungle against her, but on that Ustream according to Leroy, who is not close to either Laurel or Jenn, Laurel was talking **** about Cara Maria and perpetuating their fight.
[QUOTE=jflanz;275758]Not only did Laurel say Jenn was afraid of gaping into the Jungle against her, but on that Ustream according to Leroy, who is not close to either Laurel or Jenn, Laurel was talking **** about Cara Maria and perpetuating their fight.[/QUOTE] Well on that ustream, it also denied some things happening at the reunion than it said earlier in this thread. Maybe Laurel was trying to play both sides, IDK, but something is fishy about that ustream, and I'm sure as heck am not taking Jenn's word for it. Btw, anyone who wants to, can read Adam's blog about the Reunion[URL="http://www.adamking.tv/AdamKing.tv/Challenge_Blog__Rivals/Entries/2011/9/2_The_Rivals_Reunion.html"] here[/URL]

I listened to the ustream and the host asks if Laurel stormed out and Leroy says no, he didn't see anything like that. I think some of the confusion might be in how the host asked the question. The people at the reunion didn't say that Laurel stormed out during the show, it was during a break that she left and then **** went down backstage and Laurel refused to come back. Also, if I remember correctly, they said the crackhead comment was made when the cameras weren't rolling, so Leroy could have just missed that as well.
