[quote=Katiedid;8725]And Bacchus, you do bring up a valid point about people faking sicknesses just to get out of the final challenge. I guess if they changed the rules the people participating would have to be monitered by the 'honor system', and these are some of the least honorable people eva![/quote] They will not change the rules. This was a great real life lesson that on challenges you should keep your best players, not your best friends.

From Tori's Facebook: [quote]Hello Friends and Fans! It's been forever since I have written a blog and I totally forgot my Iamonmtv.com password, but since most of you write the same messages to me on here as you do on there I figured I would post a quick note. I am getting ready to leave for Miss USA on Tuesday and I have so much to do and so little time. As most of you know I had to have emergency surgery a week ago, which has really put a hold on my preperation.However, your love and support really means a lot to me! My doctors and I tried to put the surgery off until after miss usa but we had no other option. I have been sick and in and out of the hospital for the last two months so I think my Miss USA experience will be much more exciting now that I am on my way to what we hope is going to be a speedy recovery!...Girls get ready to have a blast in Vegas, we are about to have the time of our lives!!! Oh and a quick side note.. I have the best roommate ever Maine is totally going to ROCK The MISS USA STAGE!!!! The Gauntlet 3 Finale...My Team Won...Go Rookies! The Challenge overall was really hard and after watching the show it amazes me how much I have grown in a year. I have learned its much better to be a quiet force than to get loud when you are passionate about something. Also my father and I have come up with a list of words to use instead of the F word on national television email me if you would like it,its quite long lol...Sorry dad next time ill put the list to good use!... No, I don't yell like that in my everday life, and actually most of the time believe it or not Frank and I got along. I am totally on team Frillian and think they both are amazing people and deserved the money...remember people it's a TV show for entertainment purposes ONLY! We filmed for 6 weeks everyday all day and you got to see a total of 9 hours....thats not even a whole day...something to think about! Brad and I are still together and doing wonderful. We have a little baby pomeranian puppy who is the most handsome little doodle-bug ever, but he should have come with a warning label that reads...I WILL RUIN YOUR HOUSE! I tell Brad everyday that I did reality TV the way it should be done..I went on two shows won them both and found the greatest guy in the whole world. I think this is it for me as far as Challenges are concerned, I am ready to finish my degree and get a normal job. It was fun and I'm glad I did it, but its time to grow up :)!! I hope everyone has a WONDERFUL EASTER weekend! Tune into NBC on April 11th for the MISS USA 2008 pageant! Hugs, ToRi[/quote]

From [URL="http://blog.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=blog&amp;FriendID=141098528"]Ev's Myspace Blog:[/URL] [quote] The End And my second full season comes to an end. I was the first person eliminated from Fresh Meat and I learned a hell of a lot from that experience. I won the Inferno and learned nothing from it, that challenge was a cakewalk compared to this one. The Veterans won the Gauntlet 3. All the same, I learned from it. What you viewers got was a very tiny fraction of what actually happened on that day, but I'm not allowed to go into that. Eric collapsed 20 feet from the sliders puzzle, he was going to have an indefinite breather as soon as we got there, and from that checkpoint it was less than a half mile to the finish line. We should have carried him there. We could have laid him down on the sand while we did the puzzle and proceeded accordingly. We were in sight of the ****** finish line. He would have been fine, I'm a collegiate athlete and I have worked myself to the point of blacking out before, and I'm telling you he would've survived the last 25 minutes. It took us two hours to dig up that chest, he would've been able to spend that entire time drinking Gatorade and catching his breath. And guys, we were walking and giving Eric breathers the entire way. There was nothing more we could've done for him. That said I hope to never do a team challenge again, unfortunately we never know the format until we show up at the challenge. I hate the nonsense that goes with being chained at the hip (literally, in the case of the final) to some of these people. I'm a competitive person and I come on these things to win, and what these challenges have taught me is that I can only rely on myself. I have two regrets from the Gauntlet: The first is going along with getting rid of Katie. What I've realized is that she's the most genuine, kind-hearted person on these things. That was a mistake and one for which I am truly sorry. Katie, you've probably heard enough of this from me, but I am sorry girl. The second is not throwing men's Gauntlet days. I stepped up and put myself into the Gauntlet to make our team stronger, and our men did not make the same sacrifice to rid us of Eric. I should have demanded this and made it happen, but I, like everyone else, wanted to believe that that was only a minor problem. My naivety on this challenge was abundantly clear, both in my relationship with Brooke and the ease with which I allowed myself to be manipulated. That quality is gone for good now. Congratulations to Beth on her engagement!! Hopefully this lays the Tenderoni nonsense to rest once and for all. [/quote]

[quote=renaldob;8779]at least she wasn't bitter like i expected her to be.[/quote] She had many, many months to think about it and tune her response. Ev is an adult and the sour grapes at the time of filming fortunately did not ferment into bitterness over time. Of course she did basically say the innocence of her youth had been forever ripped from her soul because of the Gauntlet experience! ;)

[quote=OtherPplsDrama;8822]*get's the slow-clap going for Katie* clap...clap....clap....clap clap clap Yea! Good speech! Couldn't have said it better :)[/quote] Look, you can't just start a slow clap at any old time. You got to wait for the right moment.

[quote=OtherPplsDrama;8836]LMAO !!! What's that from again...I can't remember.....is it Not Another Teen Movie? Arrrgg....I'll kick myself when you tell me! :D[/quote] Yes...that is what it is from. I love Chyler Lee! ;) [CENTER] [B] Slow Clap (1:33)[/B] [/CENTER] [CENTER] [/CENTER]
