   WE MADE IT THROUGH THE SEASON! The island was boring at times, but it didn’t have anything on the boring-ness of the D.C. season. Thank you, VA, for the witty and detailed recaps. Can’t wait to read the ones for the Challenge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bring. It. On.

   Where the F did the roommates get those slutty ass Carnival outfits? They all looked like low rent strippers.

   Holy geez, Mo’Rum’s white girl dance…what was up with the blank stare she got in her eyes every time she did it?

   I was convinced Toya and Mo’Rum rolled on the chickens and killed them. They were basically jumping on the bed before they discovered them.

   Personally, I thought it was awesome Ginge dumped Rum via text. He probably felt so gross after watching all of the episodes. He probably also felt like the biggest puss. She is awful and totally deserved it.

   Needy is in complete denial, and he looked like a giant douche at the reunion.

   I know everyone has jumped on the Marie hate bandwagon, but let’s just say Robb definitely got a very generous nice edit this season. He wasn’t exactly a gent in their relationship, but lucky for him, they decided to cut him slack on airing it since he was already beating himself up, literally. IMO.

   PETA has already begun launching a secret operative in the V.I. where they will abduct Swift put him in a box take him BACK to Hassel Island force him to watch gay porn while being bound up in a sweaty, cum stained comforter and jumped on by a howler monkey. Exactly how it went down for those poor chickens.

   Did Ginger and Marie ever actually sleep with eachother? (during the season that is). The only reason I ask is because their relationship seemed pretty pg rated and usually MTV makes it painfully obvious when cast members hook up with the black light cam and they never showed any footage like that with those two. Also neither one of them ever said anything to that affect in the confessional, unlike Trey and Laura. Not that that has any bearing on the relationship, just curious.

   I liked Latoya less after the reunion, but I can see that it was in part her agitation from defending Marie against the others and also hating Swift. He came off looking better imo though, gotta give him credit for keeping his cool after being yelled down and pushed. (Although I still dislike him for belittling whatever sexual relationship he claims he had with Latoya, even if its true)

   Romcom is a lost cause. I’ve met lots of girls like this in life and she doesn’t care if ppl say she’s pathetic as long as the guy is giving her the attention she wants.

   Marie deserved to be dumped, but I wish Rob wouldn’t have done it by text and had just told her in person that he wasn’t that into her anymore because the text thing gave her an excuse to ignore her vile behavior all season and turn it around on him for being a ‘pussy’ as she put it.

   Please tell us Captain or direct us to where we can find out.

   Wow…it seems that Marie and Latoya don’t get along with anyone else in the house. While the others are still friendly. It was just sad to see. The two were so much fun together and all we got was yelling and bitterness from them.

   Latoya should not have put her hands on Swift. That was also disappointing. It wasn’t necessary in the least and she should have been removed from the set. If anything she should have popped Needy in the head when he stated he was a “casual” cocaine user.

   Unless Marie cheated on him and he found out from someone else then she deserved at least a phone call to break up. She deserved the conversation. If you watched the show Ginger and felt like she treated you badly that’s fine. We all thought that, but you don’t break up via text.

   I missed the reunion. Did Ginger dump Mo’Rum after he saw the season and all of her talking heads? And I really hoped Chelsea dumped Grandpa after seeing what a dick he really is. RomCom is stupid if she thinks she will get together with Grandpa and he won’t treat her the same way he treated Chelsea.

   Cali, Ginger DID dump Mo’Rum after he saw how he was treated on camera. Mo’rum tried to defend herself and say she’s not mean or rude but every one (except laToya) refuted that point.

   Chelsea dumped Grandpa

   RomCom slept with Grandpa the night before the reunion.

    I thought RomCom and G-pa were b/f at the reunion?? So, no to that, but yes to them being together on the Challenge???

    Also, I can’t wait to see what the older Challengers think of Mo-Rum and G-pa. I bet Wes feels threatened by Ginge.

    Alriiiight.
    I can’t really tell sources or say too much Let’s just say 3 days before Rob dumped Marie via text, they were definitely together but he wasn’t exactly awesome. They both had people back home during the show, except you don’t know that with Marie. Also, Rob had been living with Emily (his “situation back home) before he went on the show soooo while it seemed like Robb was blatantly pining over Marie and she was shunning him, both were playing that game, although you only see one side.
    It was very much Marie/Toya vs the rest of the cast at the reunion. I really can’t get into specifics but they’re all a bunch of assholes. yes, marie and toya have said their share and have made some asshole remarks; BUT it was no secret that Swift/Trey specifically put “on a show for the cameras” and not to be cliche, but “weren’t real” not just at the reunion, but throughout the entire season- it was a big problem. They had specific ideas of the characters they wanted to play and what they would and wouldn’t talk about on camera. Oftentimes after saying stuff, Trey would say “I wonder how mtv will like that!”
    Also, swift is full of shit. There was definitely no hookup. He even threatened Toya backstage not to say anything that would embarrass him onstage.
    I think Marie got the asshole cut a bit. She does say some shit “trying to be hard” but she’s deflecting. At the reunion Marie heard that the joke was that they all wanted to beat her up and that Laura even thought about it, and that’s why she came at them. They were all great and vocal about what they would do to her, but all talk, so she called them out on it.
    Anyways sorry I can’t really offer juicier stuff.

    AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Captain, thanks for almost getting in trouble for us. Maybe that’s why Swift didn’t get that much air time??? Because he’s so fake??

    Love the gossip connections we have regarding these dummies.

    Haha no worries! I try and help where I can! I just have to be careful not to cross some lines y’know!!!?
    And I can’t help it. I’m partial to Toya and Marie, and will be the first to say Marie had some major jackass moments, but they definitely showcased a lot more of hers than anyone else’s!
    I am definitely excited for the Challenge!!!

    Yay, captain you are awesome! I’m glad Marie is better than the megabitch she was by the end of the season, because I mostly liked her before then. And you just gotta love Toya.

    Seriously, Needy is in the worst DENIAL of all time. He’s just trying to come up with whatever excuse he can to make it sound like his problem isn’t really a problem so he doesn’t have to fix it.

    Did anyone else think Trey sounded more Southern during the Challenge? Made me think about the politician/faker thing…..

    This reunion really sucked. It’s juicy when they fight, but not at this level of bitterness and ridiculousness on all sides.

    Whatever. Marie is a loser. As cruel as it was for Rob to sit there and say, “I just wasn’t into it anymore.” and for him to break up with her through a text, it’s what Marie gets. That’s what happens when the person you were shitty to wakes the fuck up. Also, now maybe she won’t leave in the middle of a date abandoning the date with a friend and then get mad at the friend for not also being a bitch to the guy.

    Laura’s new dark hair looked awful on her. Maybe Trey suggested it so she’d look more like Chelsea. She looks better with light red hair, not that incredibly unnatural looking dark red hair she had most of the time. It seemed like she was trying to rub it in someone’s face(Chelsea’s? The audience who rightfully called out her shitty relationship with Trey?) when she said that the sex with Trey was amazing, and talked about how he sent her a text saying he missed her two days after they left the island, which he wasn’t even willing to admit, so yeah, he really cares.
