I do not think it'll be paris b/c of the male/female pairings. I do think though that it will either be teams or individual, but one sexy eimination per day. So if the first elimination it's Jenna vs. Christina and Jenna wins, Christina is eliminated along with her bloodline on the other team Emily.

Which is why Cohutta would be targeted early so Jill wouldn't benefit the other team.

I was told that everybody got a chance to fight for their spots, nobody was sent home over not doing nothing. Sometimes fans overthink stuff lol

I figured. It didn't make sense for production to let people like Nany, Camila, Cara Maria, Bananas possibly go home without doing anything. 

Mods like myself used to be able place infractions on people. Now all that can be done is instant banning. 

People have always since the beginning of this site deeply bashed cast members. That is nothing new. Those protected are fellow members, whether you are a castmember or not. I've seen people call other members idiots and worse, that's a problem. However, all that can be done is the post taken off the site and member told not to say that. You wanna say mods are just that in name, however I will say Gdinstall has been working hard to remove posts he felt were off topic.

Im late but I wanted to respond to the mod talk.

Yes.

After seeing those Cara Maria fappening pics I'm a fan of her now

-________- @ this thread....seriously? ALL the castmembers that get roasted/talked about on this site by EVERYBODY & now all of a sudden it's cyberbullying (when it's likely that they don't care & will never see it anyway)? Smh I'm sorry but that is weak as ****, especially when there is no real malice behind it & only about 2 people even call them Shovel/Surfboard.

If something like that qualifies as "cyberbullying" then internet forums are not the place for you. Shit is ridiculous...

I miss the times when Vevmo was frequented by people who graduated at least elementary school, knew how to spell and form full sentences. Nowadays, reading 90% of the posts in this thread is panful.

Some people are not from US and english is their second or third language. Just saying.

Exactly!! but apparently some people don't understand the obvious. Smh.

shes insinuating that the effort of trying to form cohesive sentences should at least be there. there are people that can speak english just fine, and this is detectable from reading some of their posts,  but they CHOOSE to dumb themselves down to childish jargon.

plus its easy to tell the difference between people that are incompetent at english despite having it as their first language and those that use english as their alternative second or third form of communcation so as a result are justifiably excused from having perfect structure or whatever

I'm not a native speaker myself. In fact, I don't even live in an English speaking country. As v123 said, I am not talking about excusable grammar or spelling mistakes, but abour general infantilization of this forum, about very few people being able to form full sentences in any language. "OMG, lolz, ***" is not a full sentence. I was taught to express my thoughts coherently in spoken or written form in elementary school. I was also taught that showing a little effort was a sign of respect to whoever you are communicating with.

You can tell when there's someone who's first language wasn't English and when there's someone who just rants with run on sentences types in slang and uses words/phrases like slay and yass. I don't care too much because there's certain users that once I see their name I just skip their post because it's tough to get through and understand what they are trying to say. 

Don't forget about writing in hashtags. #whydoyouwritelikethisthisdoesntmakeanysensepleasestop

*****!!!
#guilty.

Well, I do not know if I should be offended or not. But I am sorry for my mistakes.

Well I see we clearly went from cyberbullying to grammar school. This a forum for The Challenge not Harvard...

Like it or not, how you interact with other people, even on a message board, reflects who you are in one way or another.

I never said it didn't...

Last I checked, this is a site for discussion about a TV show, not for people to harp on each other for their "poor" use of grammar.

I would argue the "jokingly" bashing castmembers with nicknames hardly quantifies a discussion.  Which was the original point Emotional was making yesterday. 

Well I would say half the time we are simply having conversations because there is nothing to really discuss about Bloodlines until another elimination takes place unless you guys want to repeat the same shit over again. I've also seen you talking about things that wouldn't be labeled a discussion according to the dictionary's definition.

That's fine.  I mean everybody makes mistakes.  I know I'm guilty of a few things people would deem annoying.  But we should make a collective effort to keep things cordial.

I don't know about you but I'm not changing the way I've been posting to please people online I will never meet. I will continue to use the names Shovel and Surfboard along with my hashtags. Like I said before if people don't like the new Vevmo no one is forcing them to stay logged on. #ZeroFucksGiven

I'm going to say this then I'm done.

If people don't like cast members being talked about in a joking and lighthearted manner then they should leave the site. Noone is forcing anyone to be here.

And if people don't like how people communicate and use grammar or whatever then they can leave the site as well. Noone is forcing you to log on.

Like honestly i dont mean to offend anyone or anything but some of you guys are taking this to serious ... it literaly is a joke .. i mean shovel and surfboard are just a little fun nickname .. you act like were calling them a real bad word .. so if someone is going to be offended because im using these funny words to describe two castmembers than im sorry but just scroll down and dont look ... ... Oh and this post isnt towards anyone specifically just my own opinion

I'm pretty sure that wasn't directed to what Emotional was talking about, but I mean, go on with copying and pasting these defintions. I bet you feel a whole lot smarter that way.

No, it was directed to the topic of people's use of grammar, and those who had an issue with it.
