"Tenderoni"...eeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwww.

On the other hand, the last two minutes of the show almost completely redeemed the 4 people on this show that I never really gave a damn about. This is reality TV. It took them this long to figure out the meaning of the word "alliance"?

Loved how you managed to put in the page break at the same time you reached the first commercial break. FREAKY.

Nehemiah going off that platform gave me deja vu. At the risk of sounding like a guy with no life, his dive reminded me of the Fingerpoke of Doom that Hogan gave to Nash. (Damn, I'm a geek.)

No more dramatic towels. PLEASE.

Oh, and props go to Mr. ______ for getting this recap up so quickly.

This is the fastest recap ever, under 2 hours. I stopped watching the challenge shows, but the preview of Beth and Nehemiah made me watch. In the words of Jodi, Ewww. Beth must be really good, on the gauntlet she hooked up with Ace and now Nehemiah. I detest Kina, Jodi and the other girls so much, because they are fugly and think because they have cute bodies they are all that, classic Buttaface/butherface. Go Beth!!

Casey said that Kenny wasn't the brightest crayon in the box, not crown. Surprisingly, she didn't mess this one up.
Thanks for the quick recap!

Funny recap as always. This was an entertaining episode. Some juvenile hijinks, and physical competition, and some drama via Beth.

Speaking of which, why do guys hook up with her, she is so gross. The highlight of this show, lady-wise is Casey. That girl is hot, albeit very stupid. In short, they need extended footage of her in a bikini in as many episodes as they can manage (I know they're fake, but the still look good).

Also, I think she said that Kenny wasn't the brightest crayon in the box.

I'm anxious to see how this Beth and Aneesa thing works out (you know, other than being completly disgusting). Ten bucks says that Wes screws it up somehow. Why? Because he's an idiot.

Sad to see Kenny go. The guy was pretty funny. And hot :]]]

And Nehemiah must be blind or have cataracts or something. Beth is so nasty and blotchy... and just annoying in every way. He is too, but not on her level.

The one thing I don't like about this challenge is that, for example, on a male duel day the females have no incentive to win besides a lame prize. This time it was some golf clubs that I'm sure none of them cared about. So, why did they try so hard and make it seem so important? Is it just directions from the crew to make it more interesting or are they just plain dumb?

As tired as I am of Beth's lame drama-queen antics and delusions of adequacy, I'm not sure I could keep watching after she gets eliminated. That said, why do these people acts so shocked (SHOCKED!) and indignant every time they discover people have teamed up on a challenge?

I'm sorry to see Kenny go. I rather liked him.

Isn't is the sharpest crayon in the box not the brightest?

I agree, with the whole alliance thing. I was thrilled until Wes joined but w/e. Can someone pleaaassee PLEASSEE send Kina and her freakishly scary face and bad use of make-up home??? Thats all I ask.

That was probably the fastest recap ever, great job. I really like this season even though i saw the most illegal hook up ever, Beth and Neh, freakin gross, but Beth is still entertaining. Robin and Casey look pretty hot this season and my boy Kenny is hilarious, go check out the aftershow with Blair, priceless comedy. By the way B-side your rim shot are hilarious! Great job.

When it pertains to bulbs, "brightness" is appropriate, when pertaining to crayons, casey is retarded.

I'm pretty sure brightness pertains to the lightbulbs and crayons. I actually have a keychain that says "Not the brightest crayon in the box, are you?"

B-Side... The phrase Casey was referring to was "not the brightest crayon in the box". Clean the wax out of your ears and maybe you'll get it right next time. These people are idiotic but I'm sure Casey wouldn't say "brightest crown"....

I've heard both "brightest" and "sharpest" crayon in the box before.

I've never seen Beth's body look better than on this challenge. I think she's lost some weight. Her body looks good for a 38-year-old, but she does need better make-up.

It was sad to see Kenny go. I'm rooting for this new "underdog" alliance.

It's ok, B-side. For a moment I thought she said crown, too. And then as I was thinking that's going to make the recap, I figured that she must have said crayon but with one syllable.

I forgot who said it on the show, but they said beth was 40. When I heard that I was suprised, for some reason I always thought she was early 30s. I agree that Casey and Robin are the hottest girls there. I also thought kenny would get up the rope faster as it seemed neha weighed more then him.

I too was angry when Wes got in on that alliance, and when they said how they could be the final four. Ugh, if Wes makes it to the finals he is going to have an even larger ego then he has now

silentfire...I get the feeling that we'll be seeing Wes for most of the Duel. Yuck. Dude needs a Mystic Tan. And a brain.

Actually I find the whole Beth/Aneesa alliance intriguing. These other girls talk a big game but Beth and Aneesa are both bitches and both insane. They could be pretty fierce.

Casey's pretty hot. Robin, not so much. I call her Trailer Park Penny. Jodi looks like a dude. Kina could be cute if she wasn't wearing Siouxsie Sioux's make up. And if she would be a mute.

I thought you would comment on JerseyKina's most irritating comment of yesterday's show, when she said about Beth, "Why do you torment my life?" What a moron! What was Beth really doing to her? Playing the game? Not letting spoiled little Kina just walk all over her? What torment! I feel terrible for her. Now Kina knows what those prisoners at Abu Ghraib felt like.

hellllo......aren't you all forgetting about Svetlana. I think she's the hottest one there. She should hook up with Brad, cuz he's hot and they'd be cute together. hehe

On the aftershow, Kenny said about Kina "i wish she didn't have a boyfriend" ewwww...i figured he would go for Svetty.

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who noticed but when Nehamiah was on his season it seemed like he had an abundance of black pride...for example the africa shirt, necklace, and hat. Right before he "ascendered" he kissed his Africa necklace....why is he hooking up with Beth? I have nothing against interracial dating but it seems a lil hypocritical. Guys I know dont go out of their way to buy Africa merchandise then shack up with white women...let me know if I'm out of line....by the way although I laugh at B-side's comments on CT. I would things to him that they only show on Cinemax after midnight

Brigasm, paying respect to your heritage and hooking up with someone who's of a different race is not hypocritical. Even if it was, though, who would you suggest he hook up with? The only black chick on the show (Kina doesn't count) is Aneesa, and, well, c'mon, ANEESA. Nehemiah and Beth might be gross, but Nehemiah and Aneesa would be even worse.

I'll probably get lambasted for this... But I think Beth looks pretty good for 40, and she's in better physical condition than some of the "kids". She blew the doors off the other girls in one of the last challenges, when she ran while pulling a cart - most of them couldn't even run.

I can't stand Aneesa, but I love the alliance - I hope they kick the snotty bitch squad off ASAP.

Kina is completely repulsive. Jodi is a man. Robin is an asshole; no matter what she does with her hair, how she changes her persona, etc., I will always define her by her pathetic, drunken rampages in San Diego.

Diem sucks. Having cancer doesn't automatically make you a great person, nor does it entitle you to things you don't earn or deserve. She was a raving c**nt on the last challenge, I think she's a drama-whore.

I hope Beth adds Svetlana, Casey, Big Easy, and CT to the alliance.

Doubt CT would join Beth's alliance, he likes Diem.

I really believe that Nehemiah is hooking up with Beth for strategy. A part of the game is who of the opposite sex likes you. He's probably cuddling up to her to secure his vote, seeing as how noone really likes her, its a good alliance to make. Hopefully, that's the reason. If not, to quote Jodi, eeeeeewww.

I couldn't wait to read the recap because i just KNEW there would be a snarky comment about Kina's jersey girl outfit....but alas, i was denied.

Beth isn't 40 - she's only a few years older than me, and I'm not there yet!!! I was a senior in college when the Los Angeles season aired, and she was maybe 23 then, at the oldest.

I am pretty sure B-side is right. Casey did say "crown". I have heard people call crayons crowns before. It is stupid, but she did say crown.

Nehemiah is hooking up with Beth on strategy alone. He is cuddling up with someone who is desperate for attention and he is using it against her.

Oh man, Derrick's tea cozy hat - brings back the memories!

I really would have loved a screen cap of Kina's 80s-rific outfit when the gals were "strategizing" in the bathroom. I mean, I know some of the styles from that decade are coming back, but that does not mean you should wear them all at once.

I'm calling Svetlana as the dark horse to get to the finals. She's less whiny than she was on the RW, she seems to be holding her own physically (at least more than I expected) and people might respect her for that. If she stays quiet and doesn't piss anyone off, she could fly under the radar.

Svetlana would be hot if it weren't for her seemingly permanent "deer in headlights" expression.

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE BETH DEFEAT KINA! beth represents most everybody in high school who were not part of the elite cheerleaders or varsity football players clique. BETH also appears in better physical shape this challenge. maybe there is hope, if she has heart.

I remember 2 Challenge shows ago, they did the reunion show, and Kina was on there(w/ her b/f) and she kept attacking one of the girls. I don't remember her name, but she was really pretty. But everytime that girl opened her mouth to say something Kina would just looked disgusted and just go off on this girl. What is her deal? I thought she was cool until i saw that.

I didn't watch that Challenge show that season, so I don't know why Kina hated that girl. Could someone enlighten me? Or was it that Kina didn't have a reason she's just crazy?

Brigasm- so agree with you with the Neihmiah/Beth thing. He has Black Guy/Ugly White Girl Syndrome or BGUWGS. "White Chicks" anyone? If he must have a white girl, can't she be a cute one like Svetty or Casey or Diem? Of course not. Although in this case, they are both pretty fugly, so it kind of cancels out the race thing.

Beth does have a tight little body for someone in her mid-30's, but the dime-store blue eye showdow and foundation have got to go.

I hate Kina's 80's earrings the most. The lipstick rates a close second.

Robin needs her little blond bob back.

I wish Diem would leave the ridiculous wigs off- we have seen her without the wig, and she looked hot! And what happened to CT's buzz cut? I can't believe he thinks that bitchtastic 'do looks good.

Love the alliance, I hope it works and I'd like to see Svetlana make it to the finals, too.

Sorry so long-just killing time until quittin' time.

"Towel of gravitas" was too funny, great recap!

jozeyg, that was Cara (yeah, much prettier than dumbass Kina) that Kina kept yelling at. Basically Cara and her friend Susie were accused of forming an alliance and Kina, as captain of the Rookie team they all belonged to, got pissed. That was about it. And yet, Kina would NEVER vote for her friend Jodi or... whoever else she was friends with. God, I hate Kina. And Jodi. She is a man. Diem's a whiny girl who brings everything back to her cancer--it's in remission, bitch. And I actually kind of like Robin, but the rest of those girls absolutely suck.

Really sad to see Kenny go. No more eye candy left. :( Plus he was entertaining. I couldn't believe how slow he was at climbing that rope though.

I couldn't stop laughing at the picture of Derrick's tea cozy hat. He just has such a pleading look on his face, but it doesn't stop him from looking completely ridiculous.

I hate Eric. Is anyone with me?

antebellum-thanks for the update. oh and i like your comment "it's in remission, bitch" hahaha

I dunno why Kina hates Beth so much, looks like they share the same taste in eye makeup.

Love Svetlana....she seemed whiny and spoiled in Key West but i guess she learned a thing or too cuz it looks like she can hold her own. I'm routing for her.

Brad is hot =)

I have to admit, Casey is pretty damn hot.

Both Kina and Jodi are drag queens. What is up with Kina's 80s makeup? All she needs are some jangly bracelet, lace gloves, and shoulder pads. Between her and Beth, I can't decide who gets the $1 Rite-Aid makeup trophy.

I love all these "alliances." 'Cause in the end, only two people win.

And what's up with winning golf clubs or a Seiko watch? After giving away a motorcycle, the best they could think of is a set of clubs?

oops i meant "she learned a thing or 'two' "

No, not Kenny! Nehemiah is so lame, but then again I'm okay with all of the lame people forming an anti-clique clique. Really, has anyone ever rooted for Aneesa until now? Shudder.

Some of these people seem to have gotten a lot cooler since their seasons... like Svetlana, Brad, Paula, etc. I'm also happy with Casey being on this challenge.

What is up Aneesna's ass all of a sudden?I've never really paid any attaintion to her.Maybe thats the problem.I've always liked Robin.Haven't seen her cause too much shit.Looks like she might though.Seen a preview of Aneesa yelling at her.

Antebellum and Jozeyg..
I thought Kina was obnoxious on the reunion show too, because it seemed like her attack came out of no where... but after watching some aftershows and reading the blogs of a few other castmembers (Tina for one) there's a lot more backstory to it.

Apparently during the filming of the show Suzie and Cara and some guy on the show that wasn't named hooked up. At the time Cara was engaged and basically the entire cast made a deal not to talk about it to the producers in interviews, which would guarantee that the story got no air time...I think that's the main reason Kina went off on her... when Cara was asked about her hookups on the show and she played innocent. Its a pretty old blog but if you look up Tina's myspace (search Tina Barta) she talked about it a while back. Tina wasn't actually on that season, but I think a few of the castmembers got pissed and asked Tina to write about it in her blog because Tina's blog gets read the most.

I didn't like Cara, and I don't care for Kina. Cara thought she was the shit because she posed for playboy. She always had this way of speaking condescendingly to everyone around her - never seemed genuine. Even on her season of RR she was a whiney brat! So no sympathy for either one.. Kina is just over dramatic like many females on reality tv and in reality. PERIOD.

Agree with C-wise that people like Brad, Fitz, and Paula have gotten better since their seasons. I'm still not sold on Casey though.. I guess because she does sound like Romy from Romy & Michelle. She did say "crayon," however. She may be dumb but I doubt she'd go around saying she invented the post-it! I don't think she should've picked Wes - out of all the other deliberations he NEVER picked her, leaving her in the bottom 4 every time.

Just some thoughts:

1. Kina looks like a total drag queen. Her hair looks like a wig...worse than Diem's. Her makeup and plastic white earrings are something else. And the blue eyeshadow...yikes

2. Speaking of Diem...what the hell is up with her strawberry shortcake wig? Do they celebrate Halloween early in Brasil? Girl PLEASE take your wigs OFF! You look so much better without them.

3. Good for Beth, for beating those bitches. I really hope Beth goes far this time around. If it takes Nehamiah, Aneesa and wes (GAG) to get it done, then fine. Svetlana should join them, since the is the only Key Wester still there.

4. Wes...I actually found myself rooting for him a little bit at the end of this. He was the enemy last season, but I hope he can help put some of those girls in their place.

5. WHAT THE HELL is up with all the prizes they are giving away?? The contestants look totally "thrilled" (sarcasm) when they win them too. (well, Brad was pretty pumped about his motorcycle. He is really into them)
But, Ohhh a Seiko watch, big freaking deal!

I really don't care for either side at all. With the alliance, Beth and Aneesa are safer than Wes and Nehemiah. Beth and Aneesa don't really have to win a Challenge to have a good chance at being safe since they have a weight advantage if they have to Duel and it's something like Pole Wrestling. Wes and Nehemiah are only really safe if the other more athletic guys don't pay attention to them and try to eliminate each other.

Also, I have to echo about the prize for the girls this week. It's like they weren't even trying. Really, I think a box of screwdrivers or a roll of toilet paper would have gotten a better reaction. It seems quite lopsided, too. Motorcyle = golf clubs + lessons?

I agree with annidawg25 lose white earings and blue eyeshawdow that Kina is wearing have got to go. I can't stand looking at them.

I don't know why Diem thinks those wigs look better than her real short hair. When she took her wig off she looked good.

It would be really fun if Beth does beat them all. I would love that.

one more thing...after watching this episode, I am very convinced that Wes is "juiced".
He looks ALOT bigger than he did in Australia and more ripped, too. I just have a hard time believing someone can achieve that muscle naturally, in such a short period of time.

anniedawg25, I've been thinking the same thing. As a matter of fact I've taken to calling Wes the Howdy Doody on steriods lookin' mother f*cker.

I don't know the guy, so I don't know if that's the case, but I seriously wouldn't be surprised if he is "juiced".

Maybe he followed his Fresh Meat partner and got implants... :-P

beth is strange. ya dats a good word strange. her and her lil "alliance". but u gotta do what u gotta do.

ummm, Beth sucks. i dont care who she makes an alliance with, she sucks. plain and simple. and the only reasoning I can think of for Nehemiah hookin up with Beth is that she probably does ATM. i'll let y'all figure that out. (hint: it has nothing to do with money...)

one more thing...after watching this episode, I am very convinced that Wes is "juiced".
He looks ALOT bigger than he did in Australia and more ripped, too. I just have a hard time believing someone can achieve that muscle naturally, in such a short period of time.

C'mon, what's "ATM"?

I don't understand why people keep saying Beth is ugly; I think she looks great for her age and definitely better than she has in challenges prior. She can't hold a candle to Svetty, but she still looks good. I'm psyched about the alliance too, I have a feeling Robin or Kina will be their first victim.

C'mon, what's "ATM"?

Are you actually asking or is this rhetorical? If it's a serious question, I would suggest using the urban dictionary or you can google it, but don't blame me for the results that come up.

Really wishing I didn't just look up ATM...

RE: ATM

Oh my. I didn't even know that existed.

I need to go vomit. Again.

First about Beth, I know she is not 40 because I was 21 when she was on the Real World and you can't be older than 25 to do that show. So the oldest she could be is 39 but it seems to me she is about my age. As for her looking good she has lost weight and toned up but her face is awful. I want to give her a makeover so badly just so I don't have to look at her anymore. I want to root for her but she says the stupidest things I just can't do it. I do think Diem looks awesome without her wig (what made her so insecure about her looks that she feels the need to wear a wig?). I can't stand Wes because he is so cocky (and ugly). I haven't watched all the challenge shows in the past but now since I am a Stay at home Mom I find myself sucked back in. I think the prizes suck (other than the motorcycle). A Seiko watch? Are you kidding me? I do think Kina is a witch but they haven't focused on her much this time. Casey seems like an idiot to me. I was so sad to see Kenny go (he is hot but also kind of full of himself). Too bad Tina had to go because she totally entertains me.

shiaobundan - thanks for the backstory. i still hate Kina with a passion. hehe

it seems like Beth is gonna try to recruit Svetty to their alliance on the next episode. Even though I really don't like Kina's little crew(except for Robin) I don't want Svetlana going with them either, but I don't want her going with Beth also. I think she can do bad all by herself. I jus know once she goes with Beth's alliance, the drama girls are going to hate on her. I really hope Svetlana kicks everyone's ass

ATM= Ass Tits Mouth

the end is Jodi Vs Svetlana. Svetlana wins

Brad Vs Wes. Wes wins

1. Beth Stolarczyk is an idiot with big cheekbones. To be precise she is 37 years old, just look on her website or myspace.

2. Kina Dean is annoying with weird facial expressions.

3. Casey Cooper is fuckin sexy but has no brains, also she is Camerans (RW San Diego) twin or little sister.

4. Wes Bergmann is a tool

5. chris tamberello(CT) needs to cut his hair and loose that phony accent.

"ATM= Ass Tits Mouth"

Um, no. It means something much grosser than that. Look it up.

which one was Cameran in the RW San Diego?

I think Beth looks pretty good for 40, and she's in better physical condition than some of the "kids". She blew the doors off the other girls in one of the last challenges, when she ran while pulling a cart - most of them couldn't even run.

"Asynchronious Transfer Mode"? Ewww, that's gross!
