The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Spoiler Discussion

You know, guys, for the longest time I suspected that JEKempire was run by Johnny Bananas because of the prose and manner in which he spoke. And I do think that he gives this guy's specific information because JEKempire mentioned something very specific, regarding a person, that an average follower just wouldn't know about unless he were present there. I have said before and will repeat it, JEK should be severely sanctioned for their behavior.

[QUOTE=Marmk122;292366]Just random guesses of Camila's word: shaken, swollen, starvation(O.o), stolen, i don't know....out of those words I'd guess swollen, meaning it was really, really challenging, which i dont think bodes well for ty.[/QUOTE] I'm taking a big shot here but maybe 1st place was stolen from them? lol idk

[QUOTE=wth101;292367]Do any of you guys believe CT got 2nd place? I know there isn't enough info but people already saying or implying that he got 2nd.[/QUOTE] Has anyone reading this thread actually mushed? One thing I know from a couple of decades of following The Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race(R) is that every dog team is different. Thus, there are random variables introduced into the competition, the sled and the dog team. No doubt the sleds are as similar as possible, but the dogs will always be the wild card. The best execs pair, whomever you think that may be, could have randomly been given the weakest dog team. If nothing else, the influence of the dogs should complicate your thinking.

[QUOTE=wth101;292411]considering if CT aligned with Johnny, i don't see why Ct would do that especially after all the *** he said to him on Rivals.[/QUOTE] Any alliance is better than no alliance. If CT thinks he is better than Johnny and would beat him in a Final it would make since to join in an alliance with him and bring him to the end.

[QUOTE=wth101;292422]...(sorry, love talking bout CT :D)[/QUOTE] I can dig it! Yes lawd :D!! Poor Johnny had to hold his own for once, how unfair, wah. CT has always been strong and super competitive on these challenges albeit wacko at times of alcohol. On the last challenge it took 5 (JEK + 2) to lift that swan to put on Mandi's bed yet CT lifted with ease alone. Looks like the JEK empire has been downgraded to a village and they seem to be tweeting nervously about Johnny carrying the torch to win without help, very telling. IMO JEK is either a distant cousin or homebound fan who met one of them once or twice. He doesn't seem to ever have the facts, just his own skewed superfan perspective so IMO his tweets are moot.

[QUOTE=Nightwolf;292423]With all of the discussion going on, I have a feeling now that I think we're all gonna look like idiots and Ty and Emily won[/QUOTE] That would be awesome, I have no problem looking like an idiot if they win lol. For me as of right now I'm thinking Johnny, if Ty is praised as if he's superman on the podcast then it would sway me to Ty/Emily. When the F is part 2 going to be up!

I respect that Johnny does whatever it takes to win. Getting the money is why everyone is there if you have to cut deals, make alliances, cheat, lie throw people under the bus whatever it takes to get the job done. This challenge may prove he would even make a alliance with one of the guys he hates in CT to win.

[QUOTE=Infinite;292434]I wonder why Diem still isn't following CT on twitter. I mean it's twitter so I usually wouldn't look too much into it, but this ***** follows celebrities' pet dogs for ******'s sake. Even if ct degraded her the whole season, she still would be following him if they managed to pull out a win. Maybe they came in third and CT was all pissed or something?[/QUOTE] Sorry, this just doesn't make sense to people who know Diem. She didn't know it was going to be an exes challenge and didn't know she was going to be paired with CT. It's not like she was reading vevmo...of if she did, that she believed the speculation. She was, and is, completely focused on Medigift, the charity she founded.

[QUOTE=Infinite;292453]She was never following him, I checked every two days. Pics or it never happened.[/QUOTE] Life does occur between those two days you are not checking btw, but it's fine if you don't believe it because it didn't give anything away. I am not a twitter person besides checking here and there, but she definitely was following him for a few days but that really doesn't matter on the whole conversation about who won. I am not sure it shows history of actions on twitter or not where it can be proven, so take it for how you want. I even had a PM chat with Blue about it, but like I said it doesn't add anything or give anything away, I just thought it was odd she did for a few days/week and then didn't. Someone on here posted how he blocks her after challenges, so that could be what happened, but like I said I have no clue. It's a spoiler discussion, they never messaged each other or RT'ed each other, so it doesn't matter IMO. You can feel believe it or not, I just hope CT/Diem won. But I don't think they did. Sounds like no one knows, which should make this an exciting season. But I stand by she did follow him briefly after they got home, he hasn't done a thing on twitter since the show, so it really to me gave away nothing. Diem thanking MTV for helping with Med gift to me means she at least moneyed, but I don't know the rules so 3rd could have won something. So basically it solved nothing :) To me they are talking on the podcast how CT can't win for whatever reason, Johnny has really improved himself, and we will see what they say about Ty. But vibes I got were CT/Diem got 2nd, Johnny/Camila first. I will be surprised if they didn't win, but we will see. They did same type thing on Rivals on the pre podcast, so I go by that. If they would have said one nice thing about CT I would have thought they could have won. Like CM said on formspring, they know the result so why would they make themselves look dumb by trashing CT if he won?

[QUOTE=cryssy19;292470]The only reasons I jumped on the CT bandwagon was because as far as I know (which is not much), he plays the game straight up, unlike JEK and would go in an elimination and win, but if he has an alliance with Johnny, I am jumping off his bandwagon, seriously. I also was rooting for him because I am not a huge fan of Johnny, Camila, Ty or even Emily that much (although maybe this challenge will change my opinion of her).[/QUOTE] CT plays the game straight only when it best serves him ------ when he is a known target and not part or an alliance. CT has formed alliances before, Duel I and Gauntlet 3 ......... as opposed of playing for himself. Both times resulted in a loss near or in the Finals because of an injured partner or a late DQ. DI - he aligned himself with Evan,Derrick, and Brad until it was time for them all to face each other. G3, He definitely ran the show, but made the mistake of being persuaded to keep Big Easy around at the risk of his elimination in a weight advantage gauntlet. However, if CT/Diem didn't when, then I suspect that either they were penalized, got stuck on a puzzle, or other foul means. I am unconvinced that Johnny/Camilla just physically outlasted CT/Diem or Ty/Emily..... (who I still think won the thing if CT/Diem didn't).

Diem's following/unfollowing of CT could have been for a number of reasons. She may have been interested in what he would be saying after the challenge and followed him, but then decided it wasn't worth it when she discovered he hasn't been active on twitter since the show finished filming. Also, I don't think the fact that they're not "buddy buddy" on twitter gives anything away about who won. They went into the show on tough terms and just because they were partners and may or may not have won, it doesn't mean that their relationship improved at all or that they are best friends now.
