Wait, I missed a spot theah…
So our Real Worlders and Road Rulers (and IIRC, some new meaty morsels brought in just to fight them) had the Gulag, the Gauntlet, and the Duel, but sadly, not the Guillotine. How to top those? Hell hath no fury like that castmate you hooked up with before you hooked up with that other one… hence, Battle of the Exes.
Tonight we meet our 13 sets of unlucky former lovers, and they settle into their beachside Dominican manse. Highlighted couples include rookies Heather and Dustin, one of whom was a porn star; Nate and Priscilla, also rookies, who have their big pants on and their trash-talking down; Wes and Mandi, veterans, one of whom is an obnoxious prig who can’t wait to fling shit; and CT and Diem, vets, who apparently once had “that Notebook kind of love,” but now mainly frustrate each other. Also Robin and Mark, since she’s finally rightsized her boobs and he’s got a helluva body for a 40-something. Just ask him.
The couples are teamed up for the duration, and each challenge will require some type of synchronicity. Big people will fall down and screaming will ensue. Each week, the winners of the challenge will become the Power Couple, and they alone will get to choose another couple to get Domed go to The Dome with the challenge losers, where they will do a duelish activity. The losers of the Dome duel will go home in disgrace, and blame will be liberally distributed.
The first main challenge involves the couples running across a beam over the water, rolling around in a tub full of honey to get maximum coverage, and then having their partner sort of scrape/scoop the honey off of them into a bucket. The beams get more slippery as the challenge goes on, and one hapless mofo falls into the water five times, squashing his balls at least once in the process. The couples who do best are those who (a) are best at rubbing each other and (b) have some good crevices to store the honey in. Six packs and belly buttons get the most play, while cleavage sort of gets the shaft. Damn censors.

So glad this show (and the recap) is back! Now my life (and my work days)will be full again :p
What the hell happened to Vinny? Did he eat Evan? I mean seriously, if we thought Evan was in his 2nd or 3rd trimester, Vinny must be in his 14th!
Also, I’m ashamed to admit this, but after watching the premiere last night I had a dream about CT . It wasn’t even a sexy dream, that would at least make sense. He was just picking me up a lot. (Okay there was also some making out.) Dr. JerseyJ interprets that as me wishing my boyfriend was strong enough to do that so I could feel petite for once. Or some sort of death wish, seeing as Ct’s crazy. Definitely one or the other
Am I the only one who thought it was unfair that they didn’t wipe down the beams after each couple? The ones towards the end had it WAY harder.
Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!! The Challenge is back and that means all of my commenting friends will be too!! Haven’t watched yet but I am SURE there is oh so much to discuss. How long until someone brings up Zito’s gay porn past??!!
All I have to say is if loving Mark Long is wrong then I don’t wanna be right! Move over CT, Mark Long is leaner and meaner. Ok not mean, just mickey flickin hotter! Oooooohhhhh eeeeee! Now that is my type of man to a T! (Yes CT is stil hot but he’s getting a little chubby and strange looking in the face no?)
SO so so so so so much to say here but I’ll wait till everyone has had the chance to read or see before I got H a m. BUT-is anyone else impressed with Heather and Dustin like I was?
Ahhh I hear ya jerseyj, my life can now return to 10 on the happiness scale, Woot!
Thanks for having the recap up so fast, on to reading!
*minicapping.
yes, that was my takeaway from this episode as well, that ct is chubby. i also think that one of the girls from bad girls club might be slightly dyslexic.
good call, gypsy.
I agree that CT put on a few pounds, but chubby? Not even close to the spare tires that Vinny has!
And, hot damn, Mark looks good for a 40ish year old. I tend to like younger guys, but I might be able to develop a daddy complex for him :p
Re: the ChubbyT comment… Google Christopher “CT” Tamburello Images and take a look at what he did look like compared to this episode. His in his early 30′s now so I know he’s fighting the clock but he does look bigger. And put him next to Mark and fuggetaboutit! DAYM! I am usually into younger men too but Mark is like a fine wine, man gets better with age! Now don’t get me wrong I still think CT is hot and love his swagger but I am seriously distracted by Mark. Clearly.
Here’s just one example (holy link):
http://www.google.com/imgres?q=chris+CT+tamburello&hl=en&biw=1280&bih=781&gbv=2&tbm=isch&tbnid=MnaRCgUpBKSj8M:&imgrefurl=http://www.tumblr.com/tagged/chris-tamburello%3Fbefore%3D1315033080&docid=XWwDERfmXeIVeM&imgurl=http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqkqmiY2D81qeks85o4_400.jpg&w=260&h=355&ei=7nohT4D0MpS10QH49pX2CA&zoom=1&iact=rc&dur=672&sig=106909724421566385353&page=2&tbnh=152&tbnw=111&start=27&ndsp=32&ved=1t:429,r:20,s:27&tx=81&ty=67
Hey glad to see the old gang back. Mark is so HOT that I almost forgot CT was on the show. I also noticed that Leroy has a pretty sick body.
So I am rooting for all teams that provide eye candy and sluttiness.
@ Classy, I follow Leroy on Twitter…oh…my…!
“So I am rooting for all teams that provide eye candy and sluttiness. Hahahahahah, as am I!
CT is GETTING strange-looking in the face? Ask the right people and CT was ALWAYS strange-looking in the face.
On behalf of CT and Mark, I feel dirty. Like these comments have “bad touched” the soul of my entire gender.
Now I think I have some idea of what the last 20,000 years have been like for women…
I just think he’s getting a little cracked out looking. But, I am a CT fan, and a MP card holder. I know not everyone is not. “It’s all good and it’s alright.”
Now the Mark train is one I can get aboard. Sure, he’s probably got grandchildren by now and has “retired” from the challenges the way Brett Favre “retired” from football but while he has all the ingredients for me to hate him, he’s cute, funny and has always seemed (at least somewhat) self-aware to me so bring it on. Why, WHY does he have to be with Robin, one of my all-time LEAST favorite females? Remember the last challenge when she was tearfully waxing poetic about missing her child? Yeah, she doesn’t either.
@all the mark lovers: Look @ who he is dating: http://twitter.com/#!/MissAliBurgess
I never knew he was into dudes :p
CT it dating this witch @TheLisssG…oh the stories. But I digress.
Gyp – Why would you ever with hold stories???!!!!
Plock honestly, I think last cycle she found this site and was trolling around. Here’s the long and short of it:
I live in Boston currently but grew up a couple towns over from CT and we are close in age. Boston is a VERY small city so everyone has the 6 degrees of CT thing going on. (Plus, there is a decent amt. of former RW/Challenge/MTV people who live here) I was friends with him on FB and blah blah blah his chick didn’t like that so she started commenting so I eventually blocked her (she tried to befriend me through another person’s website thinking I didn’t know it was her, she’s a real psycho) …then other girls across the country on his FB site started ogling over him and she would throw ridiculous fits at the girls saying how they are all cheap hoes and have no class, and that everyone is just jealous of her. Mind you she just turned 24, and from what I can tell doesn’t work; smokes weed all day and has Napoleon Dynamite Style Glamour shots taken of herself for CT like once a month. (The Twitter pic is new; she used to be Blonde with long extensions. Did she change her hair color b/c Diem has long blonde hair??? I dunno, just sayin’)
That’s just the tip of the iceberg. I think I mentioned last season that I go to the same salon as Danny (I SO wish they could’ve got Danny and Melinda on this Challenge!) and Danny’s stylist went to high school with CT and she is full of CT & Danny/Melinda stories… It’s all very dramatic. So, long story short I defriended CT from Facebook, she is annoying and it just got old quick. How’s that?
Before everyone was famous for walking upright, there was a little show called Road Rules. Mark and Kit were the coolest people in the history of reality tv game shows. Seeing him again, looking all ready for me to borrow his abs to wash my delicates, takes me back.
Of course, this fantasy is abruptly interrupted by the familiar sound of someone talking with a mouth full of peanut butter. Damn you Wes. What was that partner of his thinking? Thanks for the recaps!
Who is Mark paired up with? Wasn’t he on the FIRST RR??
AHH!! Thanks Gyp! I do remember you saying something about it last challenge. I bet the Danny/Melinda stories are great. Danny seems like he would’ve been abusive – physically, emotionally, etc. After his mom died, he completely changed (I only know this from watching his season…)
Gyp – you’re on Twitter?!?! Let’s connect!
Mark is paired with Robin…I let you watch so you can see what she says.
I can’t log on to the forums from work b/c I work at an Orewellian establishment and the only repreive I have is from the thought police (non here, so far…)
What the heck am I trying to say you ask? My Twitter is under an alias. If you want to give me yours I can follow you, then let you know who I am. Unless you’re the ever sneaky LissssssssssssssG! o.O LMK! I’d flove to connect!
Yeah! Search either: plockeness OR Paige Locke. I am the one in the funny hat. YAY!
You got it sistah!
As desperate as I am to fit in, I was never on the CT train. He did look decent during the last challenge, but that ship has sailed. Now Mark on the other hand. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm. I’m preggo, and I’m craving a serving of him. He thinks rapid weight gain and constant peeing is hot, right? Who cares if he’s the Eric Nies of Road Rules? My middle school crush still stands.
Gypsy, that’s interesting stuff on CT and Danny. I would have also LOVED to see Melinda and Danny. Also, I wish Wes were paired up with Johanna. Some of these “exes” are ridiculous. It’s like if they paired me up with the dude I drunkenly showed my tits to at the office Christmas party 3 jobs ago.
Anyway, I’m super excited this is back on – both for the actual show and the recaps.
Sardini- I heard Mark LOVES those qualities! Mark is the Eric Nies of yore! Flove it. So it seems like we can agree on Mark, so far…? I agree CT’s looks are fading. And, no matter who likes him or not, I love this thread and all the characters on it.
I agree about Wes and Johanna…I am sure some of the Exes just flat out refused to sign on. I’m guessing Danny did given what Melinda did to him. Yea, that stuff with CT’s chick was not cool so I stepped away. They’re all full of themselves up here and it’s more fun to step back and watch the show and comment with you guys with out any drama IRL.
Hooray for the Challenge!
@sardini, I know they tried to get Johanna and she refused. They also tried to get Casey for Johnny Backpack and she refused (too bad, he would have SUCKED with her on his team…I’d love to see him lose for once).
And, just to make you feel even more dirty @notwithoutmytv, I watched this on my old standard def TV in my bedroom last night. This means I’ll definitely be rewatching it in the living room in Hi definition so I can see some Mark Long hotness in his full glory!
And, yes that is to make up for all the times guys have had conversations with my breasts instead of my eyes :p TVGASM, making up for 20,000 years of history, one snarky comment at a time!
Ughhhh. What did Melinda do to Danny??? How can I be so invested in these jackoffs and not know?!?!?!?!
LOL, I know right….again that story earlier was the tip of the iceberg but, I don’t want to puke all over this thread with hometown drama though I’ll indulge you on this one:
Shortly after they got married she cheated. I think it was with someone he knew at a house party (KLASSY). Now he works at a bar in Boston and dates a cocktail waitress.
I am sure there are two very interesting sides to that story though.
Gypsy, it’s so funny how Boston is the key to all things RR / RW. Doesn’t Cyrus live there? Or he did? Probasbly in the late 90′s. Way to keep it topical, Sardini.
My only claim to fame in the Miami area is that I follow Dan Renzi on Yelp, and sometimes we go to the same places.
*Syrus
Wait, wait, wait! Those two fuckwaffles got married!? Huh, who would have thought…They are both douches! I may have to go find this on Ondemand or something…I know that MTV will play this over and over again until the new one airs…
Also I am a bit confused..I didn’t watch the RWSD pt 2. All the RW’s are totes boring and the same shit every season. But I did read the recaps for this past RW, and I don’t remember the bright orange oompa loopma dating Priss. (she was the DD for the house right? the chick with the weird relationship with her mom??) So how can they be on the Challenge if they didn’t date?? Someone help me out please.
I will watch this just for Mark!! Total Hottie right there. I think his original RR was on when I was in like 8th grade or something! I really wish they would bring that back instead of RW season 48 or whatever it is going to be next…Now that all my other shows are done for the season, guess there is something new for me to watch
Alison – Prissy and Nate never dated. The gang went on a trip to Mexico and Prissy could drink legally. She got absolutely shit faced. She tried to make out with Nate. He rebuffed. That is all. I don’t even know if they kissed.
I’m currently watching the Challenge and I do not think CT looks bigger or fatter.
Also, who the fuck is Vinny?!??!
Holy crap, I have missed you guys!
Agreed that Mark is aging finer than wine, but I still think CT looked pretty good too. Also, Vinny is HILARIOUSLY fat, and I look forward to Sarah’s exasperation. Miss MikeMike, but love how many Vegas cast members there are and I was impressed by Dustin and Teacup. They’re both athletic and she’s pretty smart about the game.
Wes’ big mouth totally saved them from elimination, though. That kid is so goddamn stupid. Anyone think Mark let Johnny win do Bananas would have to be the bad guy and make the decision about who to send into elimination?
Nate and Scrilla did kiss early in the season. He stayed home one night with her, maybe the first night (?) and they made out. she told…the psycho gay guy….Frank!…that Nate grabbed her and was aggressive.
Gypsy-I love your hometown drama and appreciate you sharing it.
I am from Pittsburgh. Old school RR Timmy was once the Pirate Parrot. That is the mascot for our shitty baseball team. Also, I saw Dave Chappelle at the Improv and RR Susie told jokes before the opening act. She sucked as bad as my RW/RR connections.
@Sardini-Ha Ha. He would totally be into you.
Tadow! You are totally right! I forgot about that.
BedHead – I fucking love Dave Chappelle!!!!
Morning everyone and welcome back VA!!!!! Miss you long time!
Look what happens when you go home! Ok lemme see if I can sort a few things out. As long as you all don’t mind I’m happy to share but, I don’t want it to take away from the threads or the recap, is everyone cool with that?
*@Sardini, yes this is Bunim/Murray East. A couple of years ago there was a movement to make Boston “Hollywood East” (Yes it’s true, thank you Mark Whalberg) so we get a LOT of Z listers here. It’s a real treat. Syrus lived here. I think that cat invented Headblade, he should be worth a couple mil by now. The other BM/MTV peeps that I know of around here are. CT, Danny, Melinda till she cheated, Cara Maria, Abrahm is unverified,JWOWW comes up for appearances when Rodger comes home, Preston, Greg Avila (Love Games-the Promoter), The BCG twins and much, much more! (There IS probably more but I haven’t had any caffience yet.)
@ Plockness-CT looks great with clothes on, and those blue eyes slay me. Maybe the honey covered plank in a speedo wasn’t that flattering, I dunno. Or maybe it was Mark’s light outshining CT’s?!?! Did you figure out why he’s partnered with Robin after watching the epi?
@ All-I have no idea who Vinny is and why is he so big, doesn’t anyone know? Is he Evan 2.0? VA, great point about Mark letting Bananas win. That kid and will always be the #1 dumb bitch! He so got off on being the first to take people out. I did think it was weaksauce that CT ratted out Wes to Bananas though. New strategy from last season, hmmmmm?
@Tadow-I saw Bologna Nate and Prissy make out the first night too and Frank went h a m on him the next day. Good times.
@BedHeadJen- I’ll trade stories if you keep dropping awesome one liners (and I dare you to show up at Renee’s with a canister full of 4C Bread crumbs! LOLOLOLOL)
Hey- I love hearing all the stories just as much, so please share! I haven’t devoted significant time in my adulthood to half step this season! And yes I am living vicariously through the television.
I’m Gypsy and I am addicited to The Challenge.
Sorry, @ Alison Zimmerman, yes they got married a couple years ago now. At the time, I had just moved back from LA and was sitting next to him at the salon in MA. He was a total dbag sitting with his hood up and his hat brim low. I guess he (at the time) requested to go into a private room to get his hair did and I could hear him talking about his plans to get married to Melinda in September. I can’t remember what year…last year his stylist who has a chair next to mine told me that she cheated and he was devastated. I kinda feel bad for him. I did’t think she was the marrying kind when she was running around on her season in a domanatix outfit with a whip for God and the world to see but, I’m from New England and we’re judgemental like that, J/K. ;-P
For teh life of me I can;t figure out who this Vinny guy is! I do think he ate Evan
Welp that is what I get for typing fast. teh-the and can’t. There will be many many more teh’s though:)
Me too Moli! It’s Friday…don’t be so hard on yaself
Really, who is this Vinny guy? I feel like Evan is going to unzip the Vinny suit and pop out and yell “SUPRISE! I’m here!”
Vinny is from Fresh Meat 2! He was paired with Sarah, they banged and were the second team to go home, I believe. Wes and Ev banded everyone together to send them in against Kenny and Laurel. He was also on CutThroat, but he got voted into elimination, was super pissy about it, and lost to Big Easy.
I should also mention that he was in MUCH better shape back then. Forget Evan, he’s probably bigger than Big Easy at this point!
vinny was on fresh meat 2 with laurel and cara maria, etc. he’s from the boston area too. i’m from central mass so i don’t know any of these people like gypsy unfortunately, but i do pay attention to the ones from around here on the shows.
p.s. i’m new to the challenge threads (just started reading last challenge) but i love reading what you guys write! it makes me happy i’m not the only addict!
VA, I said that he was pushing Big Easy size(man I love that Ginger). I know Vinny’s name but for the life oh me I still can’t place him. I wonder if it is because of age and puff…
Oh! That Vinny Foti! I saw him on my Twitter reel and on some glomtastic promoter’s flyer on facebook for the premier Wednesday! I must’ve been in a coma for his part or I couldn’t see him as he was blocked by Big Easy. I miss the Big Easy, and Ev, and what about Baia and the kid fromt he Army on the Brooklyn season? They would be killer on this!
Interstestingly, last spring/Summer CT did tons of promoting at bars for the last Challenge. None this time around. Me thinks his woman won’t have any of it which is a shame b/c I know it gave the cool kids in town something to do. (She would post and hurl insults at the girls who went to his events though so maybe the bars got sick of her. Face it chica…chicks dig yo man.) Here’s a video of CT and The LisssG they made over the summer with a local reggae artist. She’s the one walking her beat
@ VA- you’re right, he’s nearly unrecognizable!
http://bostonherald.com/track/inside_track/view/20100416tracked_down_steven_tyler_tim_gunn_vinny_foti__more
I’m so confused watching this show, who the hell are most of these dumb people? I really have no clue who they are or what show they were on. I guess it’s because I completely gave up watching the real world after the New York one w/the tranny. I’m totally on board with the Mark Long hotness. I don’t think CT is chubby, but hes defiantly not as toned as he used to be. I think the whole eyebrow situation he has going is whats weirding his face out. I don’t get why men wax their eyebrows. There’s plenty O’ways guys can thin bushy brows and not have that whole arch thing going on
My husband (LOL) pointed out that CT’s speedo was waaaaaay to small for him. Maybe that’s why you thought he looked bigger, Gyp??
Um, Diem’s body is rocking.
I could NOT stop gagging at Vinny in his speedo. THen they showed him from the back. Good Lord!!! Absolutely nasty.
VA!!! YAY! I am glad you’re back with us commenters!!!
VA is here! Now it’s a party!
Plock & Poop (LOL that kills me) I think you two are making sense. CT is not as toned as he was and Diem is looking unreal. Good for her. I guess I’m a harsh critic!
Yeah, I couldn’t stay away. None of my real life friends watch anymore and I need to discuss these things! Anyone know if there has been an update on the Tonya vs. Kenny/Evan lawsuit?
You guys they miss Mike and Ev too! OH, VA I forgot about that.
http://www.mtv.com/videos/the-challenge-battle-of-the-exes-ep-1-ex-ual-tension/1677900/playlist.jhtml
I haven’t heard anything else about the Tonya/Kenny/Evan lawsuit. This is from ew.com back in October 2011:
UPDATE: A spokesperson for Bunim-Murray Productions tells EW, “After a thorough investigation, we have found Tonya Cooley’s claims to be completely baseless.”
I am glad that MTV didn’t reunite the douche trio, but I have a feeling that Banans will be douchey enough for all of them. Did anyone see the shirt he was wearing? “The Real Johnny Bananas.” What a joke. I am assuming the shirt is a nod the the fact he tried to sue the show “Entourage,” for using his “name” without his permission.
Thanks plock!
Love love love that this show is back!
I am 33 years old, pregnant with my 2nd child, but i still feel the need to watch these bacteria interact…
I don;t know what anyone is talking about – CT is still my fav..though I only started drooling over him the last 2 season or so.
With all this drama with CT’s current GF – I wonder how she feels about him hanging around Deim and having to scrap honey off her body… he didn;t seem to be thinking about her in preparing for the comp.
ALSO – I do think it was unfair that if your team went last during the comp, you were screwed b/c the beam was so slippery…
yaaayyy so happy the challenge is back. where shows like Jersey Shore have gotten stale, the challenge is as great as ever! My fav guilty pleasure haha!
I have a couple questions for all you people in the know: So was CT dating this (crazy) girl during the last season where it seemed like he was interested in Mandi/Laurel? Did anything ever happen offscreen w him and Laurel?
I always felt sorry for Diem after CT hooked up with nasty Shauvon on the Duel 2 with her right there, but it was kind of shady/heartless of her not to come to his brothers wake after he was shot and killed if that’s really what happened… it does humanize CT a little bit and help explain his cannibalistic insane escaped-rhino chase after Adam, if he was dealing with his brothers death plus breakup with Diem.
I agree some of these pairings are really weak- Johnny and Camila? Really? Nothing even happened between them, I kind of remember the editing trying to make us think they liked each other and not even buying that…
Id like to have seen Wes and Kelly-Ann if Johanna refused… Johanna and Kenny would be good too! Evelyn and Brooke! Tyler and Ryan! Jen and Adam! Dunbar and Kelly-Ann leaving Paula for MikeMike!!
I guess they did the best they could, but most of the couples are pretty disappointing for a good concept.. when did Abram and cara maria break up? At least he doesnt look as weird and flabby as he did on his last challenge (was it cutthroat? lots of them blend together) though I used to think he was sexy, even on The Island… but not anymore. I also agree CT is looking less pretty than last season, shorter haircut? looking forward to reading the recaps and everyones comments, they always make my weeks!
Yes, Diem’s body is siiiick!
I keep on thinking of couples that would be better. Wes and Kelly Anne (how did he pork so many of these girls?), Leah and Derrell, Shavonda and Landon, Kyle and the chick from the Chicago season, Trishelle and The Miz of any number of guys she’s slept with…The list goes on. I would say Evan and Veronica, but, um, no.
I was watcing an old clip from a million year old challenge, and I forgot they let that nut Baloo bring her kid on one of the challenges! HA! Could you imagine??
I’m guessing Johanna didn’t want to come back, otherwise I’m sure they would have paired her up with Kenny or Wes. And I honestly think Johnny has some pull with the producers. Someone mentioned that they tried to get Casey for him, but no way Johnny would put up with someone that useless. Camila is much better at the competitions. And the rumor is that they did hookup off camera, but Johnny wouldn’t admit it since he had a girlfriend at the time. Notice he was careful to point out that he no longer has a girlfriend, so he’s free to bang Camila while still maintaining his spotless reputation as a fine, upstanding gentleman.
Oh, and this probably goes without saying, but I would MUCH rather have seen Paula paired up with MikeMike than be subject to ANOTHER season of DumbNuts.
@MommyQCT I’m 33 and pregnant with my first. Trash TV is just what I need for these psycho hormones of mine!
I thought Bananas seemed like sparking something up w/ Camilla again. I love her accent. I want her to cuss somebody out in Spanish.
CT’s brother was killed in winter 2007. The Duel II was filmed Oct/Dec of 2008. You are right KimD – no wonder CT was bat shiz crazy on the Duel II. I honestly never thought about it like that. I do feel bad for Diem though. When they were both talking about each other during their (separate) interviews, I thought “I hope these 2 hook up again.” Then CT acted like a little bitch at the end of the show because he was all butt hurt.
I DO NOT like that Abe is all tatted up now.
AND SO IT BEGINS!!!!!!!!!
My Friday is so made! Sardini you said pork! And Baloo! Puck got arrested for smacking her around.
Dammit I flove you guys!
I don’t know for sure if CT’s current chick was with him for the last season. Personally I think so. If Captain Save-Uh-Ho shows his face I’m sure he could confirm. I’m going to get this theory out now: CT is playing to the cameras and is either acting it up or has an agreement wit his chick. Dunno though, she’s pretty agro & possessive. Personally, I thought he played the sympathy card big time with his brother’s tradegy and it didn’t sit well with me. No doubt both are touchy issues. How do you fight Cancer? With murder? Not fair or cool. They’ve both been through enough to not take it to that petty if a level. What happened was pretty terrible:
http://www.justice4vinnie.com/
I hate to think Bananas has anything over anyone b/c he is such a dumb bitch but even CT went to him to rat out Wes. You have to think somethind is up there.
You guys are killing me with the “What could’ve been” combos. Who know’s maybe they are beta testing “The Exes” and if it goes well others will sign on…that would be cool. And yes, WTF no Paula and MikeMike, really? REALLY!
Ok so I watched the rerun that I DVR’s last night. For Mark being early 40′s dayum he is hot, and still looks the same as he did a few seasons ago!!
I have missed A LOT of these challanges, and I totally missed the Anessa/Rachel pairing! WTF?!? When did Rachel come out? I think the last one I actually watched was when her and Veronica were on together…I am so out of the loop!
Ha, I thought it was kind of funny that Robin said she doesn’t know why she “gave up on Mark” or something like that…think she regrets that?!?
Also will someone please fill me in on what MP is? please and thanks
now I have something new to look forward to on Wednesday nights!!
MP = Moist Patrol. I think NWMTV called us that last year for our incessant drooling over CT, and we took control over the words and made them our own…wait what?!?!?!
@classy-LOL. thanks for that…I should have known NWMTV would come up with something like that. Wonder what NWMTV will come up with, now that Mark is back on this challange
He’s feeling all pouty and exploied as of yesterday…maybe something is festering.
Exploited…you know what I meant.
Was on the MP last year and darn proud. Something about that dangerous beast CT just makes my heart melt. Which is why I cant stand cancer barbie and all of her soap opera style grand standing. Mark is cute but I have always liked my men dirty and dangerous. Its the old Richie Cunningham or Fonzi debate. I’m a Fonzi girl
I have missed these recaps as well as complete strangers waxing poetic about how sick I am and what a terrible messed up mind I must have to find CT attractive. Its like being at thanksgiving dinner.
I feel that this season is going to be the continuation of the CT Redemption tour. He was able to improve his image and intimidate Adam into accepting his apology and I’m sure Diem is going to follow that track, as well.
I hear ya Faye I’m just a sucker for a blonde with blue eyes. Otherwise a man in shit kickers jeans and a tee and I’m good. Pass the jellied cranberry sauce.
Derek you really think so? I do think he is clinging on to every last second of his 15 minutes.
I feel like CT really wanted forgiveness from Adam b/c he felt like an asshole and Adam is just a wittle guy and didn’t deserve it. I don’t think CT will be begging for forgiveness anytime soon w/ Diem. He seemed really hurt that she missed his brother wake/funeral/wan’t there for him. He is holding a grudge.
CT and Mark are both hotties. I don’t like CT’s accent. DON’T KILL ME, GYP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL, My dad calls my a Gypsy for a reason…I’ve lived everywhere. Truth is I don’t have a Boston accent. I’m not even originally from Boston. Also, in my profession it doesn’t help matters.
“I’ve practiced my non-regional diction.” Trying to keep it classy.
I wouldn’t hate on something like that. I’m glad I don’t have one, I’d sound like a truck driver. And people trying to imitate the accent sound even worse IMO.
@plockeness and @gypsy, we know from the previous challenges that some of CT’s most egregious behavior was exhibited toward Adam and Diem (beating Adam up; cheating on Diem with skanky Shauvon) and he was able to make headway with Adam on the last challenge and this seems like it could be a good way to close this chapter on his life by finding peace with Diem and their relationship. Or simple manipulation on MTV’s part, but I’m trying to think positively.
As a side note, I was honestly surprised that their relationship only lasted a year. I thought that they were together for at least two years, but RW time seems to pass in much the same way as “cat years.”
I’m in the process of moving, so I missed a whole bunch of comments and am catching up.
As a member of the MP, I have to defend CT. @Derek Hazelton, he didn’t cheat on Diem with Shauvon. She had already broken up with him to “pursue her career”. I’ve never really liked the girl (I know, not a popular opinion to dislike a cancer survivor), so maybe I’m biased…BUT that is such a cop out. If you want to be with someone you make it work, especially if you are both reality stars and don’t have real jobs! It’s not like he couldn’t have moved anywhere with her, etc. while she “worked on her career”. And seeing as she’s back on the Challenge, it doesn’t seem like she’s done too much in the last few years! I just think she has always had a holier than thou attitude and adds nothing to the Challenges…she’s boring.
@Gypsy, what the hell was that video? CT is his girlfriend’s rapist? HUH??? That came out of nowhere. Also, she is nowhere near as hot as I was expecting. No wonder she’s psycho and worried…he could do better!
they were together for a year and a half, and even she said in her interview that they were not together on that challenge when he slept with Shauvon. IMO she was hurt because she THOUGHT they were going to end up back together by the end of that challenge, even though she broke up with him. you could totally tell she still had feelings for him and didn’t want him with anyone else. him sleeping with another girl (any girl, wouldn’t have mattered who) pretty much trashed those chances. i think that was his intent. he was still hurt and it’s easier for guys like him to translate hurt feelings into anger and he wanted to make her look dumb. it worked. but i do feel like he was genuinely sorry for what he did to Adam and truly wanted to be friends with him. just my two cents.
never thought mark was cute or hot. still don’t. to each his/her own…
so glad this is back!!!
Ahhhh, this makes me happy! And VA, so great to see you on here, look forward to your snarky input. So missed you for the last incredibly boring season of the RR that we all only continue to watch to see whose going to end up on our precious challenge.
I too keep thinking about the pairings that could have been, and wish that Kelly Anne would come back and do a challenge because she’s great to watch compete and ridiculous to listen to. I am going to get great pleasure out of watching the inevitable shitshow/breakdown that will be Paula and Dumbar, I must say. I like Camilla, always have, the other girls hate her because shes a good competitor and doesn’t kiss their ass. Also, she is Brazilian so she probably she speaks Portuguese, not Spanish.
Wes is still the big ugly red bully who looks like he is allergic to the sun, probably because hes a vampire and sucks the life force out of all things he comes in contact with. His game is whack and I don’t enjoy watching him, he so skeeves me out! This never changes, he only gets grosser.
I was never MP for CT, so he really looks no different to me, you all know I am only MP for Kenny, always and forever, and now that he is hosting aftershows, I’m not as upset he isn’t on the actual challenge.
Would have loved to see a CT/Laurel pairing, they’d crush everyone!
Shauvon is disgusting, but whiny baby attention whore Diem has no right to be pissed at CT for doing something when they aren’t together. Diem is so annoying.
Im a little afraid for Leroy, Naomi is in love with him and shes completely batshit crazy.
I loove forward to Rasheda’s screaming fits and breaking of everything in sight, good times!
I sooo look forward to this seasons recaps and comments! Its really the best part of watching this show!
For those of you that claim CT’s brother’s murder excuses, or at least somewhat justifies, his behavior; it’s not like he was killed in cold blood in his sleep.

Stun gun, knife, splitting maul, ax. Sure, no one deserves to die and the guy should have left it with the one bullet in the leg, blah blah blah. But dude wasn’t innocent. Sounds like he and CT were two grossly violent peas in a pod.
Oh Judgy…when will you learn? These details probably won’t affect the members of MP thinking CT is hot.
@Gypsy-LOL, deal. I would stuff my back pockets with burnt Texas toast and sit on her barstools. Crumbs for days.
I like the can of breadcrumbs idea too. Those could be taken anywhere and used like a glitterbomb for the crumbophobic.
@Plockness-Dave Chappelle is an incredible storyteller. His show was the best I have ever seen, minus the Susie part.
