Welcome to The Challenge, Gasmii! It’s gone super old school, being Battle of the Seasons and all, while also bringing in a whole buttload of new people. Those of you who are still watching Real World just to see who ends up here, your past several seasons have finally been rewarded! Anyway, this episode was delightfully weird. This season has so much potential.
As they march in, Dustin promises to stand up for what he believes in. Jasmine is determined to be cool, calm, and collected- let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, feel free to spaz out and break some shit. Frank still has no filter, Nany is ready to be conniving, and so on and so forth. Wes (one of the only cast members – if not THE only cast member- on this season who has worn out his welcome) declares that no one here is even in his league.
20,000 leagues under the sea of ego and bullshit? Give them some time, they’ll get there.
Our old buddy Teej welcomes them to Bodrum, Turkey. Then he has to introduce himself and tell them he’s a BMX rider! This is how you know it’s Amateur Hour on this here Challenge, when even TJ needs an introduction. He informs them that they will be competing in a Battle of the Seasons to determine whose trash-talking is most justified. Everyone looks varying degrees of uncomfortable.
Team announcements!
Team Austin: Wes, Lacey, Danny, and Melinda. I guess Johanna has moved on to bigger and better things, once and for… now, at least. Lacey is excited to be back with her Real World family, although I don’t know why because she seems like a nice, normal human being. Melinda is still going with the theory that Wes is a political mastermind, and reminds us (as Teej already has a few times) that Danny is her ex-husband, and that Lacey has never done this before.
Team Back to New Orleans: Jemmye, Knight, McKenzie (THAT’S Starfish’s real name?!) and…
Teck Money?! What are you doing here, and where’s the rest of Hawaii?!
Oh, never mind, it’s just Preston. Hey, Preston! McKenzie hopes her roommates can get along, but Knight and Preston are already getting snippy.
Team Cancun: Jasmine, CJ, Jonna, and Derek. Full disclosure: I did not watch a single minute of this season. However, I have seen all four of them in previous Challenges. Derek lasted about five minutes, CJ about ten, but the J twins had a pretty impressive run on Rivals. Apparently they’ve buried the hatchet since then, and this team has no drama to speak of at the moment.
Team Back to San Diego: Ashley, Zach, Sam, and Frank. Apparently Zach has made up with Frank since their season, but Ashley ripped his heart out, put it in a blender, and served it to him for breakfast.
Well, there’s probably a lot of protein in that, so that’s good.

Hate it, won’t watch it. I HATE that they brought in so many new people.
Still on page 4(dying to get to the awesome end) but…Firefox plus Adblock equals no ads at all on mtv.com.
Great premier, I love seeing Big Easy. Watching the ringing of the bell with Wes’s head was almost as good as the Johnny Backpack moment. I have no idea who a lot of these people are but I stopped watching ages ago and only started watching again because of this site. I swore Preston(who) was Tec and started looking for the rest of the Hawaii cast. Mwahahahahah oh great Greek god of all things Challenge. I can’t wait to see girlfriend MoRum attack and Big Easy getting some play.
Great recap – I too agree this was a top-notch episode. I look forward to your future recaps. Thanks!
Great re-cap and what looks like a great season! Respectfully disagree on one point – awww poor Dustin. Dustin made his bed (or soapy shower stall) when he chose a life of gay porn and he will forever have to lie (as he did to teacup) in it.
Not a Dustin fan as he lied/hid his past and then when he was found out – first denied he did it and that he was gay or at the very least bi-sexual, second deflected as it was everybody elses fault that he did gay porn and he was a victim. He’s a whore both on and off camera.
SO stoked for this season. Love Jemmye and Knight so hard, although I’m not impressed that he cheated on her. I know they aren’t exactly a good team but I want them to stick around for a while anyways…so much good drama.
Don’t care about Zach and Jonna at all…Jonna does this every time with the guy back home and acts like it’s never happened.
I think overall I’m rooting for Vegas. San Diego is SO stacked but I don’t particularly like any of the team members.
There were only 3 people I didn’t rem. – Lacey, J.D., and Devyn (I think that’s her name…the one from Return to New Orleans).
OOOOOPS! Meant Brooklyn, not Return to N.O.
Thanks, Moli! I remember you mentioning that before, I thought of it while I was recapping but didn’t have time to stop and download it. And yay for Big Easy kicking Wes’ ass and hopefully getting some!
Considerthis, I do agree with you that Dustin has to take responsibility for his actions. However, he seems like a geniunely nice person (especially compared to the average Real Worlder) who has a LOT of issues and made a mistake when he was younger. He definitely deserves to face consequences for those actions, especially outright lying about it when he was caught. I think Teacup was right to break up with him and he deserved it (even if she did take him back eventually). However, I have a feeling (and perhaps I should reserve judgment until I see it) that in this particular case, Frank and Zach are just being assholes.
Andrea, agreed. Jemmye and Knight are so dumb that it’s entertaining. Zach and Jonna I found more hilarious than anything else. And yeah, Vegas is definitely one of the teams I’m rooting for. Screw San Diego, hopefully all of this early screen time means at least some of them won’t be around long (although I could swear I heard Zach’s voice in the final challenge during the season trailer).
Plockeness, I barely remember Lacey, I know I watched some of Austin but not all of it, and it was so long ago. Same with JD and Devyn from Brooklyn (watched some, not all, barely remember).
Anyone else thing Devyn looks like a drag queen?
Also, Jonna has some serious self-esteem issues. Always needs a guys attention to feel validated.
I totally feel sympathy for Dustin and I don’t think he’s gay or bisexual. I think he was someone with a messed up past, few options (wasn’t one of his parents in jail or something?) and did something desperate that he regrets. The only thing I can say is that he shouldn’t have gone on reality tv expecting that past not to be exposed but if teacup can forgive him and believes he’s straight, that’s good enough for me. He doesn’t deserve abuse esp from another guy who struggled with sexuality issues and sought understanding from his roomates
Looooved the recap! I’m with Plockness’ comment on her take on Dustin. His childhood was beyond messed up. I think he made some mistakes, was ashamed, and got caught. In the long run, I still think his heart is in a genuine place. And it rarely makes me salty that FRANK of all people is the one making fun of Dustin. Seriously, Frank?
RE: Knight/Jemmye… Knight had been cheating on Jem for AGES before she finally kicked him out for good. That guy SUCKS and they really has a seriously disturbed and unhealthy relationship. I’m glad Jem FINALLY had had enough.
And Andrea- I totally agree. I’m over Jonna and her inability to be an independent person. Seriously? You don’t need a guy to validate every breath you take. She’s ridiculous.
I’m so glad Big E is back. I’m rooting for him!
But I was actually a bit disappointed Wes got booted so early. I enjoy hearing his ridiculous statements and seeing how riled up everyone gets over them.
Loooooooooved the premiere! So much to discuss.
Me thinks Zach was over compensating. If I recall correctly, he was extremely anti-gay on his season. I am thinking that he watched the episodes and realized how ignorant and mean he looked. A former Real World-er that matures? Even a little?? Who would’ve thunk it?!
Um, Lacey is totally in love with Wes. He friend zoned her by the “little sister” comment.
Wes getting eliminated first was the best present MTV could’ve given us. I think he was out early the last time too. MAYBE this will knock him down a peg or two. I don’t think I could take a whole season of “Calm Wes.” When he was holding court at the table, and trying to seem mature and unaffected – gah, I wanted to punch his fucking face.
VA – Why wouldn’t you consider Camilia Fresh Meat? I was under the impression that the last team addition was called Fresh Meat b/c, although they have competed in Challenges, they never participated in the Real World.
I was extremely concerned with the level of Frank’s drunk-ness and the way he passed out on the bed (eventually). I wonder if production watches over these d-bags to make sure they don’t choke on their own vomit and die.
I am soooooexcited for this season! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
And yes @billyjeansss I totally did!
I can’t believe how different Preston looks but I am so excited he’s there. Love NOLA too.
Kinda thought it was weaksauce to bring in the 8th team.
Is anyone surprised by Frank? Think he’ll cost SD2 the shot to win?
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaa!
I am on the fence about the Dustin porn thing. We all make mistakes. We all were young. We all have things we WISH we could take back. BUT when you choose to be on a reality show, you open yourself up for ridicule for the things you did in the past. BUT it happened seasons ago, so why can’t Frank and Zach drop it?? Like Frank has any room to judge anyone.
Ok so this comment is for eveyone but especially directed in answer to @captain save-uh-ho. Would anyone like to hear what Danny said before the premiere regarding this season and he and Wes???
Great recap! I am obsessed with this show and am very excited you are reccapping for us
@billyjeans um yeah Jonna couldnt even wait half an episode to get on Zach/any male. (not that I blame her about Zach, he is delish!). Remember Cancun how she was all over like ten people? Ho fo sho. I am not a fan of her but over all i think they might do some damage this season esp with CJ and Jasmin
Frank is gonna be kicked off for doing something dumb. He was a hot mess in san fran and is still a hot mess.
I was very surprised by him and zachs friendship. Zach was a huge homophobe in his season
Also YAY wes went home! I very much dislike him!
Yeah, the Dustin thing is definitely a gray area. HOWEVER, I neglected to mention (but a few of you have already pointed out) that the face that FRANK of all people is doing the mocking makes it that much worse.
Plockeness, with Camila I was just referring to the fact that her first challenge was the Spring Break challenge, not a Fresh Meat one like her teammates. But I’m pretty sure that team was thrown together at the last second anyway.
Captain, thanks for the scoop as always! And Gypsy, if you have some gossip, you know you should always share!
I just think they needed an 8th team and couldn’t get another RW season to pony up 4 cast members I agree VA.
Ok…Danny and I go to the same salon. Appparently, he was in there the week before I went ( I was there Septermber 13th…he told the entire salon, staff and all, that he didn’t win and that Wes had him sent home b/c he was caught with a non-cast member back at the house. I didn’t tell a soul after my hairdresser told me that. So after last week she text me the day after and said: “Guess who just strolled in…Danny.”
I was like, “Did you ask that Fcker WHY he lied???” She told me she didn’t even look at him, he was having one of his Miva episodes.
Conclude what you want from that but if Melinda and Danny pull this thing off I will donate a kidney. What an attention starved loser.
PS-Danny also chooses to have that 1990′s butt part hair do he’s rocking, no one advised him that looks good…(gotta rep my salon)
Gyp — so Danny was canoodling with an MTV staffer?? Or he was just talking to someone in production?
Good question Plock…I don’t know. I am thinking he was in the salon with people asking him what happened so he made up the story so everyone would get off his back AND be surprised Wes went home early. I mean we all know there is no love lost b/w Wes and Danny.
I just can’t believe he said that in public a couple weeks before the show started then showed up to the salon the day after the show aired to see people’s reaction.
Also what guy gets their hair did that much? (totally unrelated question)
While reading this recap, I kept thinking – wait, they are back for this challenge? Is it bad that I don’t even remember half of the players because it was so amazing to see Big Easy eliminate Wes on the first episode?
Question about the duel/face-off (sorry, can’t remember what it is called) – the loosing season from the day’s challenge has to send two players in. The winning team has to select another season to pick two players to go in. Those four people compete male/male & female/female (at least so far). Could one player from each season go home or do the two players leaving have to be from the same season? Also, now with a season with only two players and the rest four, how are the challenges going to be played? They will have to make the rest of the seasons break-off into pairs unless the two-person season will have to do everything twice. Or will they all be endurance type?
All good pro-Dustin points – especially about Frank of all people being the bully.
Also completely agree that Devyn used to be Kevin. keep waiting for her to throw her weave back for a hearty laugh so I can check for an Adam’s apple!
Beating a Dead Horse Put in ROWNJ and let’s. Be done with it.Cant take this shit much longer. My get T mom amber and they can tell us how they did well just bad edit and they can write books child raising/cooking/and how to treat your family with verable abuse and drunken behavior and to lie / cheat to every one so u can have new TV. The 1st Rider will be here
L
Am I the only one who remembers Lacey from Austin? I actually really hated her, as I hated ALL members of that cast, but It made me chuckle hearing VA say she was sweet cause I remember her being a real instigator during her season. She’d start a lot of drama just to start it and talked a lot of smack about her cast mates and claimed innocence if she was ever called out on it.
Very much rooting for Las Vegas at this point.
@Some Guy…I didn’t get this post. I usually can but I got nothing.
Onto the challenge.
Rodel and I were laughing our arses off at Big E railroading Wes to the bell. Awesome. I hope he gets to go to the reunion just so they can replay that again and again while everyone points and laughs at his pasty assedness.
(whisper) I didn’t watch Zach’s season but I’m digging him.
VA. Love you and your recaps.
A. Lot.
Lol. Some Guy, have you been drinkingggg???
Ed, the only thing I rem. from the Austin season is Danny was a completely (COMPLETELY) different person after his mom died. I’m not saying that doesn’t change you – b/c I’m sure it does – but it was like someone flipped a switch.
Zach was a douche his season. But Frank is the worst RW member ever.
Jonna is still a whore which doesn’t surprise me. But she and Zach are still together. If he goes on a challenge alone she’ll dump him cause she is so codependent.
And Carol 2 from the same season have to go. If there is a tie in the arena then a tiebreaker will occur.
I would have much preferred the Australia season, VA, if that rumor you mentioned is to be believed. I would have LOVED to see Parisa again, because, to me, she was one of the most confounding, annoying, wonderful love-to-hate cast members RW has ever had. I would waffle on my opinion of her weekly and it would have been cool to see how she matured and gained a modicum of self-respect over the years since her season aired. Thankfully, we were spared the Key West crew (Bananas, Walnuts, and big gay Tyler), but it would have been cool to break the teams along the lines of old school versus new school (meaning, Miami/Boston/San Fran) vs. the newer seasons.
I would love if they streamed live feeds from the house.
Did anyone else think “Hunger Games” when they said “Arena”?
Andrea?! That’s MY real-life name….now I’m gonna be so confused!
I “watched” this but was at a girlfriend’s house and wasn’t paying attention like I SHOULD have been. First of all, $50,000 to second place and $40,000 to third place? That is lame. The gap from $250,000 to $50,000 is incredibly painful, make third place even worse, like $25,000…cause you know, $25,000 is terrible.
Second, how did Jemmye make this show, and by that I mean the Real World in general? What’s appealing about her? On that note, I feel the same way about Knight, so they are a match made in heaven.
Lastly, oof. Why does Zach look so terrible to me in the interviews? I LOVED him (physically) during his season. But that picture, along with “I told you guys I get weird when I drink wine” might possibly be my favorite thing ever.
Oh yeah, BYE Wes. Although I DO love that he thinks so highly of himself despite his performance track record being overwhelmingly bad as opposed to good, as far as I can remember.
P.S. TJ could have left with Wes, I wouldn’t miss him.
Prepare for those kind of comments all season.
I remember feeling really sad because when ChickBomb recapped Cancun she commented on how CJ was too old for the Real World, and I think I googled that he was a year younger than me. That makes him 25 or 26 at this point (I’m turning 27 in two weeks), so bang away.
Ahh! I can’t stop!
Gypsy is giving me a run for my money on gossip!!
Well Danny is a DIIIIIVA so i’m not surprised. In regards to canoodling with non cast members, well you’re both just asking for trouble, but I can’t confirm if that happened or not!
And I’m too lazy to scroll up but for whoever said that Lacey is in love with Wes— if I’m not mistaken, I think she’s still with her boyfriend she had on the show? I’ll have to do some digging now!
and YES, Arena totally reminded me of Hunger Games, but that might be because I have a slight obsession— did anyone see the Starbuck via blend titled “Tribute”, yea… thought the same thing!
Also, I was thinking Danny’s hair looked TERRIBLE. Maybe that’s because he was in desperate need of salon visit
Ed, I remember Lacey from RW Austin. I don’t remember her like you mentioned though. I only remember that her boyfriend at the time was in a wheelchair, and I remeber her not going out and partying like the rest of the cast did. RW Austin was one of the first seasons of RW that I had started to watch. I need to catch up on the older seasons like Miami, Brooklyn, and the original Vegas.
Derek! So glad you’re here!!!
Frank probably has a FratPad membership.
@plockeness, thank you, thank you. I have fallen in and out of love with RW, but I’m down for any Challenge with a majority new cast and non-winners.
Looks like the gang is assembling and I love it!
Ok more on a few of the cast members, I’ll try to keep up with @captain save-uh-ho. So, when Danny came into the salon the first week of September his stylist and the girls at the salon were going to put up a pic up him with two busty blondes that was taken for a rag mag but his hairdresser didn’t want to hear him brag about it for two hours (yea 2!) so they didn’t, poor thing. His stylist also went to high school with CT (who btw was what she called a gamer/geek and not at all the badass he portrays on TV) I have run into Danny on a few occasions and he always has a hoodie on or his hat pulled low like the paprazzi are following him. As for the haircut it’s his choice NOT hers. She would never do that unless asked. I do remember one time in ’08 before he married Melinda he requested a seperate room so no one could see how his hair was being cut but he bragged VERY LOUD about the wedding deets so we could all hear. *gag*
@Plock I have friends that are friends of Danny’s family and I guess he also doesn’t get along with his brother or father now since his mother’s passing and MTV so, I would tend to agree with you.
Onto another cast member. Cara Maria allegedly grew up in the town b/w CT’s and mine and she happened to work at the same gym where CT was a trainer. @captain save-uh-ho can porbably verify this but I guess she tried out on a whim and dared Mtv to cast her b/c she didn’t fit the typical Challenge mold and they did. I can’t help but feel she got some coaching before the casting call though…
Ok this is already long so I will make the rest brief:
1. I am loving no Key West presence!
2. I wish Hair was on this Challenge, the thought of him and Frank interacting makes me giddy. ( I can dream)
3. Does anyone else think that Zach was ‘acting’ on his season of the RW, he’s a totally different person now.
4. I would LOVE to see Australia! Instead of Dunbar though I’d want to see the guy who swam in the fish tank and saw black crows from acid flashbacks.
5.I love that Austin got sent home and I am sure Kenny is feeling the same way.
Sorry so long, I am just super excited for this season. EEEEEEEEEEP!
I am LOVING this new Challenge. So great having all these new people involved!
Who is this Zach that we are seeing? Kissing Frank? Running around in a pink speedo? Where the hell was he on the San Diego season? He seems to have done a total 180 and I really like the guy he is now. maybe we had it all wrong and it was Ashley holding him back, not the other way around.
Also, what the hell is up with all the Jonna love? She ALWAYS has a boyfriend back home and then the hottest guys on the show fall in love with her. On the Cancun season she had CJ (who was/is super hot) wrapped around her finger. And now she has Zach totally into her in what seems like a grand total of a day. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t think she’s all that attractive. She’s lost the gut since her season of RW, so she’s a bit better looking now. But, I certainly don’t think she’s anything special.
So glad Wes got sent home. Now we get to see all the drama that is bound to happen between Danny/Melinda with no buffer
Jersey – I concur. I DO NOT understand why guys like Jonna. She isn’t attractive to me, and just b/c you say you’re “going to be the bigger person,” doesn’t make it so. I’d love to see an Ashley/Jonna smack down.
WTF????? How come I don’t rem anything about the Australian season?
I don’t have a fav. team yet.
Gyp – who had acid flash backs?!?!? Also, I wish Hair was back with his hair dryer and snuggly socks.
Plock his name was Issac, I fricken loved him! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Real_World:_Sydney Australia had Siobhaun who CT slept with and caused Diem to leave the show, remember?
(just saw the next RW will be in Portland! Cacao and put a bird on it!)
I would love to see Hair blow dry Frank to calm him down when he gets stupid wasted and freaks out.
Cosign the Jonna thing. I think she’s got the bedroom eyes going for her but that’s it.
Let’s just say Zach wasn’t “acting” on his season. He was busy doing nothing. His parents put the fear in him about being a t.v. jackass. I’m guessing he doesn’t care anymore about what they think.
CaraMaria, been through all the rounds in all the shows. There’s a lot more to her personality than you’ll ever see on the challenge TRUST ME. alas, that’s not for me to comment on, but she’s definitely a very interesting person and I’m glad she found herself on one way or another.
BUT daring MTV to cast you, won’t get you anywhere, trust me. It ain’t that easy.
i only encountered the danny/melinda duo once, and danny was busy having a bitch fit on the phone while melinda was clearly embarrassed and silently standing next to him. I didn’t really stick around to her the convo though.
I do remember enjoying the Cancun season, but Jonna stealing Skinny Pete, the DJ, from little Jasmine was one of the more fucked up things that’s happened on a RW season in a while. I’m glad they’ve made peace now, but Jonna is the definition of a man-eater and every time she comes on my screen, I hear Hall & Oates in my head.
Didn’t Jonna have a horrendous past, like growing up in foster care, and Laura was adopted? Abandonment issues, anyone? Their actions are aggravating, but make sense, amiright? I also found Jonna to be a pretty striking woman on her season but do NOT feel that way about her anymore; guess I think she looks better with a little meat on her bones.
Also, as much as Jonna annoys me, where does Ashley get off feeling “disrespected” by her? Jonna doesn’t know her from a hole in the wall and from the sounds of it, SHE dumped Zach. Fine, feel it, but don’t act on it – get over yourself.
I now remember reading before the show aired/was filmed the rumors of who was going to be on. If I remember correctly the Sidney cast was supposed to be Dunbar, Isaac, Ashely (a replacement I think) and Kelly Anne. I was excited about the prospect of Isaac again and bummed it didn’t happen and wonder why. Captain, any inside info you can give us why?
Also, I am from Portland and have also heard the rumors that the next season will be filmed here. Portland is awesome but different from other cities (which is why it’s awesome) so I’m incredibly interested to see how it goes. If I hear local information on filming, I will pass it on.
I’ve heard the CaraMaria rumors too and I won’t do that to a girl from around my way caption… & no one from home wanted to be around the happy couple when they were out and about.
Ok if Sarah is the new Paula then Marie is the new Tanya. And whyyyyyy have we not heard awesome Sam utter a word????
I think I watched two Cancun epis. I just couldn’t.

Real World is currently filming the next season in Portland, as I type.
Unfortunately no idea on why we don’t have a Aussie team…
Jonna did have a pretty F’d up past, but at some point, take some responsibility for yourself!
Thanks for the link, Gyp! I totally rem. the cast now. I loved Cohutta! And Isaac! But her name was Shauvonn, not Sibohan…I was so confused.
Judgy – I concur, Ashley has no right to feel “disrespected.” Her and Jonna aren’t friends and Ashley broke it off with Zach, and, as he said, “Put his heart in a blender.”
Portland, that’s a nice change of pace. A friend of mine lives there and she says that’s where young people go to retire. Any chance they’ll come to Louisville or is Kentucky still considered the armpit of America? It is my staunch belief that they should do all or at least the majority of states before repeating anything.
Plock, sorry about that I have a cousin who spells it the way I did but it’s pronounced the same. LOVE COHUTTA!
Been dying to move to the PACNW since I came back from Cali. Can’t wait for that RW season. For now I’ll watch Portlandia to get my fix.
They also still have yet to do Minneapolis, where I grew up. While I have my own opinions about the insular attitudes of the people there (“Minnesota Nice” is a crock of shit), it’s a cool enough city in itself.
Wow, shows how out of it I am that they have been filming here for at least a month already and I had no idea. I did a little research to see what they have been up to. Me being an old lady at the age of 35, I don’t go to most of the bars they have been regulars at, except for one, but I don’t go often enough to run into them. Apparently one of them has been arrested already and (unrelated to the arrest) they have been kicked out of a gay club. People in Portland for the most part are pretty laid back, so I can’t seem them putting up with a lot of high drama.
Now I’m curious about the ‘Cara Maria rumors’.. I remember on one season Kenny was saying that she’s incredible boring and only talks about (at the time) horses, and Abram… so what is this hidden side to her? Wild drug use? Crazy sex escapades? Is she actually a nuclear physicist?
also can’t believe she’s hanging out with Captain Needy from St Thomas… (that’s why I wondered about drug use, because we know he’s still riding the white lightning, and it would seem like she’d need a little somthin-somthin to get on the Needy train!)
I’m pretty sure Zach was putting on a front his season. HE said before the show even aired that he only did the real world so he could do the challenges. So I’m guessing he tried to make himself as interesting as possible without looking like a complete jackass (Frank). Unfortunately his ‘homophobia’ and Ashley made him boring as hell. I’d also guess that since Frank has a crush on Zach (which is why he hated Ashley in SD) that when Ashley broke up with him Frank was all over it and probably started shittalking her with Zach which was how they started bonding and became friends.
Issac was probably the best real world character ever, I’m soooo bummed he was almost on the show!
Loved this episode! I guess I’m in the minority, or actually the only commenter, that likes Wes and was sad to see him go. Call me crazy but I find him attractive. As for the Zach/Jonna thing, REALLY?!? Zach is ridiculously hot and Jonna just looks dirty and skanky and she “felt sparks” and wants to see where it goes after talking to him for a day, hell, a few hours? Another thing, I hope Jasmine goes home early because I honestly hate her and find her extremely annoying and the fact that she acts like she’s a bad bitch and one of the big dogs and whatnot, bitch please. I think that’s who we saw Big Easy hooking up with, barf. Anyways, looking forward to this season and all the awesome recaps.
PS, loving the insider info, thanks!
I think Jonna is pretty, but I don’t get the “hottest girl here” thing. Mostly, I just wanna wipe all that damn eye makeup off her face everytime she’s on my screen. That stuff is jacked up and makes her look sleepy.
Overall, I’m just SO HAPPY it’s not the same old people like it has been for so long.
I know I am late on these comments, but I am so excited this show is back.
I am so pulling for a Vegas win. I don’t remember the challenge, but I remember Alton climbing a rope like a boss, like it was nothing at all. And if he says that he is now in the best shape of his life I can’t wait to see what happens.
When BigE took out Wes I swear I had an audible laugh and worried that my husband would come in and laugh at me for watching MTV to begin with. Even funnier when I noticed TJ was as amused as I was.
I heard that Sydney was supposed to the final team (Dunbar and KellyAnn) but I think something fell though.
Jasmine thinks she’s Coral or something. Agreed, she is not the bad bitch she thinks she is.
I’m with you @Catherine.
@Captain…I love how you’re under the radar so far and peeps just ignore what you post like you don’t know.
I don’t ignore Captain! I’m dying to know what you do for MTV because you know so much and yet seem not privy to everything so what is it?! Alas, I’ll never know.
Gotta say I’m loving the comments since I don’t constantly feel like I’m sinking in CT quicksand.
Not YOU @Judgy for heaven’s sake! I also know you are loving the lack of CT presence. As much as I like to look at him I must admit I am not missing the Veterans train he hopped on the last two challenges either.
I was referring to the Zach comments.
Haha! I have to be under the radar unfortunately. You should see those frightening hefty contracts we sign about some non disclosure bs
. Wooomp woommmp. But I do try to throw out what I can without crossing the lines– most of my stuff isn’t toooo juicy though, and if you linger on twitter or around some of the peeps on the show, I’m sure they’re not shy about basically saying the same stuff, so that’s how I stay safe
