wow.   I don't know why, but that just sort of hit home, as did the tweet Camilla wrote about asking Knight to say hi to Diem.     Thanks for sharing it. 

Remember, no spoilers here.  Who says Knight doesn't last to the end

The season won't be hard to watch--especially if both are eliminated early as you're suggesting

People will watch out of morbid curiousity.   

Just because it wont be hard for you doesn't mean that it wont be hard for some people...

Did you know either personally?  

So unless something directly affects me it is unacceptable for me to feel emotions? So in a sense I shouldn't be care about Ferguson either because it doesn't directly affect me?... So what if I child got killed... It wasn't my kid.

I won't get into the Ferguson thing as that's completely political.  He was also an adult...not a child.

You can feel whatever emotions you want.  Why it would be hard for anyone to watch is beyond me but if it is too hard for you then don't watch.  More people will watch than won't simply because he's no longer with us.  That's how the world works.

Don't worry I wasn't even planning on getting into Ferguson because I don't care. Whether it is an adult or a child, I'm sorry I don't get the difference. Just because they were adults it doesn't matter that they died?

Thank you I will make sure to continue to feeling my emotions. This wasn't meant to start a debate I was just informing you that just because you feel a certian way does not mean that everyone shares the same feeling. I have no doubt that more people will watch than wont but you said it as if it was everyone and that wasn't true... Anyway, I'm done. I don't have the time.

My favorite moments of him are:

1. When he asks Preston how he came out, Preston tells his big story, and then Knight goes "how gay is that?"

2. When Ashlee said are you gonna start calling eachother baby and honey?  He said "what do you mean I call her baby and honey all the time! S*** my d*** baby, F*** me honey."

So funny and such a good cast member.  He'll be missed.

Gahhh! I loved when he'd talk about Ashlee having DSLs. Their friendship was so fun to watch!!

 

About number 2, somebody told me that once in high school so i said if i have DSL's you have PELs.

aNOTHER ONE IS WHEN MCKENZIE told him they could never hook up because two pumps is not fun. classie. and ironic because he dated a mckenzie after wards but not THE MxcKenzie.

 

LOL

Knight: I don't know if you know Kenzie, but sex can be fun.

McKenzie: I just don't think two pumps is fun!

*sigh* I loved that cast (Ryan Leslie notwithstanding). RIP Knight.

Thank you! I understand watching Diem can be hard, because she got sick during the show's taping. But Knight? It's very sad he's dead, but it's not going to affect my enjoyment of the challenge. The fact that Phillip Seymour Hoffman is dead doesn't make it hard to watch his movies. Not airing them because of his death would be beyond stupid.

And yes, the Ferguson case is VERY political.

I will be hard to watch not because they passed but because of the format , it's going to be hard to watch two real life love stories (who I know loved each other) knowing that they ultimately end  in tragedy. I rooted for Knight/Jemmye in real life , which is why it will be hard to watch.

I though this was kind of interesting:

 

Now, THAT is why I love me some Lacey.

Agreed, even though Knight/Jemmye had been broken up for awhile they always loved each other and had each others backs 100%. It will just be weird seeing Jemmye on furture challenges without Knight.. They were always labeled together whenever it came to these shows.

guess I can respect that. But people watch Romeo and Juliet and that ends in tragedy too. I know you said real life but come on.  I'll be one of the few who will re watching this upcoming season over and over again whether its bad or to perserve their memory.

lmao. that was amaazing god that season should ve been way better but i watched to the end. I loved the house and that scene where Leslie walked out naked and Sahar freaked.

 

Or when Knight made Leslie throw up.

Does anybody know where I can find his New Orleans seasons online? On daily motion I could only find episodes 1 and 2...please and thank you

MTV.. Just google Real World New Orleans episode 1 and then you have to keep doing that for each episode because the MTV website is weird and I couldn't find them unless I googled it that way. I was just rewatching some of it.

Thank you!

It's also on hulu. Navigating mtv.com is way too complicated, it's like they don't want us to watch their shows.

They probably don't.

if you can find a way to override the country-thing, mtv.ca (canada's site) has new orleans up

MTV's website is just awful. They changed it and made it 10x worse.

This is real sad. I always thought Knight was hilarious and was sure he was going to be the next challenge breed with zach jordan leroy jonna Jemmy Frank S etc...  I remember watching his real world season and he talked about rehab for pills. Sad he went out like this.

I found his obituary his family also wants people to donate to medgift in lieu of flowers which almost makes me want to cry, especially since he had a passion for it.

What an amazing thing for his family to do. So touching. 

Prayers  and my deepest condolences to the Knight family.

That's awesome that his family would remember medgift at this time. I continue to pray for his family daily and hope that they find peace and comfort!

Very touching. Thinking of the Knight family during this difficult time. 

Excuse me, may I ask why he died? I wasn't really following the news so the cause of his death is still unknown for me and I can't find it online. Is it know at all?

And I'm very very very sorry hear this young great man is gone. Rest in Peace, Ryan.

As of right now little is known beyond the fact that he choked on his own vomit. There hasn't been a toxicology report on what was in his system. Some of his friends said that he took pills during a night of partying, while some say he didn't and that it might have been because of stomach issues he'd been having for a few days.

 

I'm personally of the mind that whatever the cause actually was doesn't need to be published and kept private to his family, but that isn't the world we live in so I'm sure additional information will be out there soon. 

I thought that was really awesome that the family asked contributions to go to MedGift.  Sahar, Ashlee and Jemmye are attending the services.

I would guess Brandon would be maybe going since he wrote this on his Facebook. Also I would guess Theresa would go since she lives in Milwaukee by him and Melinda will most likely go as well because her and Knight were good friends even though they never did a challange togeather. She changed her twitter picture to the two of them at a Packer game togeather would leads me to assume they were close.

Yeah I bet Melinda will be there since they were pretty close. They were on a challenge together though (Battle of the Seasons) Also I wonder if Zach will go.

Agree - I expect Melinda would be there.

Oh yeah they were. she was out so soon that I forgot she was on there. 

Brandons facebook status probably raised some eyebrows but I laughed when I read it because thats how Knight would want to be remembered and he is someone that would refer to his funeral as a "going away" party

I hope Ryan Leslie can attend.
