we can see that johanna is not feelin in the game right now becuz she's going in and so she is worry and nervous, ans so pretending to be all happy and ****. The boys gave her a choice to go up against anyone she wants and she choose Sarah over Kim and casey, obviously she is a scarycat, she doesnt want to go against casey because if she lose she would be embarrass, haha but she shoulda give it a try she is my least favorite person of all challlenges history
I'm starting to fear that Brad is turning into the type of dirty players that he tries not to be like. He's so pissed off at the Casey situation, that he could be starting to snap and be like "No more Mr. Nice Guy!!!" I know Casey is worthless in Challenges but for Brad of all people to compare her to Eric; when back in G3 he was the ONLY Veteran who was truly concerned for Big Easy's health; was kind of a low blow IMO.:(
I agree with what Unicorn said earlier - Eric is actually a better competitor than Casey. I don't think Brad was trying to diss Eric - it's just that it's true Eric contributed big time to the team losing the final (the others are responsible as well for not setting the pace to help Eric so that they could cross the line with him). I don't think Brad's become a really dirty player. However, I do think he is getting a little more desparate and frustrated these last few seasons. And in that sense, he has said or done some things that some of us wouldn't expect from him. I don't think he's really gotten nearly so bad like a lot of people have, though. At least, not right now. A part of me is wondering if Casey has made some kind of comments to the team about being a good competitor or asset to the team, though. She sometimes seems a bit delusional concerning herself.
I think Brad is one of the nicest people in the challenges. He even said Casey is a cool girl in his confessional. Brad has never won a challenge, but came so close several times. Casey is literally losing challenges for their team, not intentionally, but that is the outcome. I don't think he was comparing Casey to Eric as a low blow, Eric lost the final mission for the team, and If casey stays around long enough she will lose it for the team as well. Someone needs to stand up and say it, and Brad took on the leadership role. I feel bad for him. He was genuinely concerned for Eric because he was sick, but there is nothing wrong with casey!
1st off I'm sad to see Cohutta go home. he was one of my favorite Males this challenge. I see that Brad is getting a little angry which is going to lead to next episode. I'm so glad that Johanna lost I only wish it woud've been KellyAnne to take her out.

[B]I'm so glad that Johanna lost I only wish it woud've been KellyAnne to take her out.[/B][/QUOTE] Me too! I think it would have been awesome if that's how it went down.
Although I'm sad that Cohutta went home, I can't be crying over spilled milk. All I can hope for is that he will come back one day. Next episode looks crazy and I still think Dunbar needs to prove himself...
[QUOTE=trees12;137483]Sarah didn't mean any harm towards KA. I mean her and KA are friends outside of this show. Sarah makes fun of herself and others sometimes. Its not done by her with malious intentions. She just wants to have good time and make friends with all of them.[/QUOTE] I understand that friends poke fun at one another, but the fact is Sarah was talking about KA BEHIND her back, not to KellyAnne's face. Plus she was talking about things that KA had told her in confidence. That doesn't seem like a good friend to me, but if that's the kind of people you want to be friends with - be my guest. I do like Sarah's attitude towards the challenge and life, but I don't like how she will talk about people behind their backs.
[QUOTE=RW_Chall_Fan;137562]I cant say that I mourn the loss of Cohutta - he is a nice guy and a decent competitor but he is a bit hard on the eyes - and his accent makes me cringe every time he talks lol. [/QUOTE] Cohutta is ADORABLE! Not even remotely my type but he is anything but hard on the eyes!
I agree. I noticed last night Cohutta's eyes are nice, and though he doesn't look like the hot guy type from these shows, he is not a bad looking guy. I think he has a cuteness/adorableness about him. And even better, he just seems like a really nice guy.

I think that Brad is trying to play a game and has genuine frustration with team members who aren't. There's a lot of money on the line and Casey is a big part of why he isn't able to get it. And unlike (my loves) Kenny, Evan, and Johnny, Brad is at least talking to Casey about it and trying to explain to her what the problem is, not screwing her over. Casey needs to get real and either shape up or ship out. She's cute to have around for the first few fun episodes but when it gets down to the actual work, she's nothing if not a hinderance.
Brad is probably the only person in this game, that understand the purpous of it. That is teamwork. Everyone needs to work together. He is trying to tell casey that, you are a member of a team, it is not about you, we all try our best, it seems that you don't care about winning or the team. Brad has experience, and that is what people on his team don't have. You may not like him sometimes, but you know what he has been there before. The best thing about brad, is that he always confronts the person that he has an issue with. Unlike others, (JKE). Can't we all agree on the fact that he is probably the last truly good person on these challenges right now. (Derrick has lost respect, Mark is great but doesn't do a lot of challenges.) I compare Brad to a Timmy, he jokes around, but Timmy sometimes got into with people, he talked to them. That is what being a leader is all about.

You guys are forgetting, if Brad was on the champion team he'd be in the JEK alliance as well. The only reason he is the "good guy" is because he's on the other team. Yes, he gave a **** about Eric in the final on G3 but he was all for throwing missions on Gauntlet 3, and he was in the big alliance in the Duel 2. I agree Brad is a great guy but lets be real here. Plus its been mentioned he is already in the cross team alliance, which is one of the reasons why he hasn't been picked.
WHERE'S VERONICA This episode was painful.
I remember Brad doing that stuff, too, tj. That's why I said he is doing/saying things in his desperation to win a challenge (in these later challenges) that some of us don't agree with. I still don't see him at the same level overall as some of the others, and I do think he seems to be a great guy still, but he's not really playing the game like he would have in the first season.

At least he's making it to the end. If anything, Brad's been smarter at these, I think that there are bigger fish to fry when it comes top dogs on the challenge.
I don't have [I]too[/I] much of a problem with people having alliances these days. Moreso if it's just cut and dry and people are not being really shady about them or whatever. In the past, when it was more based on performance, alliances looked bad (i.e. Chadwick alliance on Battle of the Seasons). The game has changed a lot. I kind of feel like since G2, alliances were more accepted and more widespread. I do prefer for the better competitors to stay longer, even today, but people know alliances are a big part of the show. I have a bigger issue with throwing missions and just treating people like crap.

BTW, the ruins replay for episode 7 was taped recently. So good to hear EVERYONE ( in past ones too) say nice things about Cohutta- a real class act.
[QUOTE=tjhallow;137663]Sarah looks really pretty in the ruins replay.[/QUOTE] Yes, she definitely does!!!!
awhile back I posted a link to the bs report, where they talk about the ruins, and had a fantasy draft. Well here is another one, it is hilarious. [URL="http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/player?id=4649002"][url]http://sports.espn.go.com/espnradio/player?id=4649002[/url][/URL]
I have a really good feeling about Sarah. What about you guys?
Grrrr. Such a frustrating episode for me, and I don't even really have a reason to be frustrated. Casey, Casey, Casey.. I really have been indifferent to her since Fresh Meat but lately she has really been begining to irk me. It's great that she can admit how bad she is, but in this game she doesn't even have to act like she cares about the challenges. Since she is no threat to the Champions they will want to keep her around and she can just coast to the final and get a free vacation and some money whether her team win or loses the final. Now before I say this, I am going to admit that Brad is an absolute favorite of mine on these shows, so I do realize that I may be [I]slightly[/I] biased when it comes to him. Anyway, to me it seems like everything Brad has been doing these past couple of episodes has been out of pure frustration. If I was in his position I would probably be frustrated too. He is here to play the game and win some money, and to have someone on his team who doesn't seem to be taking it seriously would tick anyone off (well, me at least). I don't see anything wrong with the way he confronted her and to be honest she is a blonde hair blue eyed Big Easy (although he usually preforms pretty well). The entire situation is just frustrating to me, mostly because I am pretty fond of Brad. :blush: Next week... the week I have been dreading since this season started. I do agree that from the looks of it, Brad should have just stayed out of the situation with Dunbar and KellyAnne but I think he was just trying to get her to calm down instead of firing her up.
Brad was becoming increasingly *******. Maybe Darell put him in his place?
At this stage of the game, Brad is replacing Danny as the paranoid prickly dude. On the plus side, Brad ain't talking smack like in the way Danny would normally do in confessionals, but on the flip side to that coin, his paranoia has reached the Danny level of "trimming the fat" mode. In this case, the only "fat" Brad feels the team needs to have trimmed is Miss Casey.
But I liked what he did! Casey needs to learn that it is not all about her!
[QUOTE=JackD;137737]But I liked what he did! Casey needs to learn that it is not all about her![/QUOTE] Indeed! But i still think that comparing her to Eric aka Big Easy was a low blow regardless what people say.:(
Oh come on people need to lighten up about Big Easy! Sure he's lazy and kind of unlikable but at least he isn't Adam.

[QUOTE=JackD;137739]Oh come on people need to lighten up about Big Easy! Sure he's lazy and kind of unlikable but at least he isn't Adam.[/QUOTE] Whats wrong with Adam? He was more of an asset in the final mission of G3 than big easy. That being said, I don't think big easy is that bad of a competitor. He's just large and out of shape. Casey, sucks at everything. Eric doesn't.
