When we last saw our booze-soaked buddies of The Gauntlet II, everyone was having a ball celebrating Mark Long’s “thirty-ish” birthday party. That is, everyone but Jo, the temperamental Brit from Real World: San Francisco. Apparently she had forgotten what exactly it was that she had signed up for (co-existing amongst alcoholics of varying mental acuity with occasional mormons thrown in for good measure) and completely freaked out when she found a smattering of chocolate syrup near her bed. Basically, she had a full-on breakdown. I don’t know whether or not it was the stress of being team captain or the general lack of attention she was receiving, but Jo not only insisted that she go home, but threatened to call the police if she were not allowed to pack. And we all know how local authorities love those packing-violation complaints. So what would happen this week? Would Jo come to her senses and realize that living with a bunch of drunken fools was a good thing? Or would she burden the Trinidad and Tobago police force with her demands for an escort? Well, let’s find out, shall we?As usual, the show began with its ostentatious rise-from-the-womb-of-the-sea montage where we got to see how busty the girls all are and how jacked the guys have become. Well, everyone but poor Cyrus — a.k.a. the only guy wearing a tank top. Gotta feel bad for the fat guy wearing a t-shirt in the pool. The truth of the matter is that Cyrus really isn’t that plump, but compared to the pec-tastic other guys, he looks like the latest Biggest Loser failure.
Anyway, back in the Gauntlet house, we found leading chiseled candidate Alton holding Jo back from, well, nothing in particular. Doesn’t he know any better? SHE WILL NOT BE MANHANDLED! Finally, after enough empty promises, Jo decided to back up her claims and call the fuzz. “I’m being attacked and mandhandled,” she complained. “I’ve got wrist marks!” Note to self: never give Jo Indian burns.
Nevertheless, Jo continued her rant to the cops: “If you do not get your f*cking butts here now, I will sue this island!” That seems like a reasonable demand. I mean, all island nations should be held responsible when chocolate syrup appears near various beds and linens. This could really be a landmark case.
Well, Jo finally concluded her emergency call by declaring, “I’ve been seriously manhandled on the island of Tobago.” Seriously manhandled. I’m sure there are a few, I don’t know, rape and assault victims who’d like to smack you right now, Jo.
Sadly, the ballad of crazy Jo came to an end with the cops did eventually show up and escort her back to the land of mental instability from whence she came. “Bottom line: she’s just crazy,” Ruthie said with a sigh of relief. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted. I would have really liked a Jo/Coral matchup, but I guess that just won’t be in the cards anytime soon.
Anyway, enough of this awesomely dumb drama. Let’s get to an awesomely dumb challenge. The teams headed out to the beach where a pile of coconuts awaited them. Unsurprisingly, this challenge was called — wait for it — “Chock Full of Coconuts.” Teams basically had to transport a set number of coconuts to a circle by using two bamboo logs. Just imagine balancing five peas on a set of chopsticks. Okay, got the visual? Cool. There were other stipulations to this challenge — something about fallen coconuts and dragging the bamboo and whatnot, but honestly, how much info do you really need to know for a Gauntlet competition? It’s just filler for the next ridiculous fight or meltdown.
Well, because Jo had since retired to a place with no chocolate syrup, manhandling, or packing impediments, Kina was promoted to Rookie Team Captain based on her runner’s up performance in the Rock Paper Scissor 2005 Invitational. Luckily for her, this was a “Men’s Gauntlet,” meaning that whichever team lost would be sending a male captain into the Gauntlet. So sit back and relax, Ki-Ki (my new name for Kina). The only people who should have been fretting were Alton (captain o’ rookies) and Adam (captain o’ vets).
Of course, what always entertains me about these “captain” scenarios (first introduced in Battle of the Sexes 2) is how the team leaders are culpable for failures, despite the fact that almost all of these challenges require little by way of strategy or leadership. This “Chock Full Of Coconuts” competition was no exception; although, I guess there was a modicum of thought necessary in choosing who should be paired up for each round of coconut carrying. Nevertheless, the vets decided to pair up boy-boy and girl-girl while the rookies opted for a co-ed girl-boy tandem for every round. High level stuff, man.
As the challenge began, the vets took an early lead as a weak Ibis couldn’t keep her bamboo together, causing several coconuts to fall to the ground. And if that sentence didn’t sound mildly suggestive, try this one on for size: “Squeeze, Ibis! Squeze, Ibis!” Alton urged. Okay, I’ll just say it: Squeeze, Ibis? I’m sure she’s heard THAT before! Rimshot!! Bet you didn’t see that one coming!
But seriously, Ibis is a dirty whore.
Just kidding. I actually like Ibis and her can-do attitude, even if she sucks at holding bamboo. Anyway, she and Alton returned from their task and holy shit! Is it me or did Alton become about ten times more jacked in the past thirty seconds? Makes me feel kind of lame for chowing down on that bag of “Munchies” JetBlue provides (yes, I’m presently on a plane. And by the way, JetBlue “Munchies” are possibly the best snack ever. It’s literally Doritos, Cheetohs, Sun Chips, and Pretzels ALL IN ONE BAG!!! It’s the Traveling Wulberries of snacks! Update I’ve just been told that these crazy “Munchies” actually exist in the store. I guess I’m just not up on the latest snack trends. This does not dampen my overall enthusiasm for the product though.)
Anyhoo, the rookies rebounded from their slow start (thanks, IBIS) and soon overtook those cocky vets. Ibis explained that her squad had begun learning how to best approach this challenge and was really happy about that. Yay coconut education! But just when it seemed like the rookies had this one in the bag, the vets suddenly came back with a twenty point surge out of nowhere. In time, the two teams were tied, and it all came down to which team would cross the finish line first. Wow, this was nuts! Nay, coconuts! C-o-c-o-n-u-t-s. Sigh. Not as good as bananas.
Well, lucky for the rookies, MJ and his mighty afro of coconut-carrying prowess powered his team to the victory, causing veteran Julie to shriek, “F*ck! What the f*ck did we do wrong??” Hey, that’s not very Mormon. Aren’t you supposed to be born again? Nevertheless, while Julie may have been in trouble with Jesus, Adam was in trouble with fate. He was headed for the Gauntlet, but who would he fight against? Perhaps another nasally clogged reality star? There’s only one way to find out: team meeting!
That plucky dude Mark Long suggested pulling names from a hat, thus prompting a dependably silly Derrick speech. “I think that’s bullshit. Why can’t people f*ckin come up here and say what you want to say. Say what you want to say in front of everyone.” Huh? How about you “articulate” what you want to say instead. Still, everyone — particularly Aneesa — felt that secret ballot would be best. But not Derrick! “No! No! No! I don’t like that bullshit. That’s bullshit. F*ck that and f*ck you too!” he said, directing his last bit of wino rage towards Aneesa and her fro-hawk-mullet. Ever the diplomat, Brad then told us in an interview, “You know, Derrick’s testosterone factor getting out of control.” Testosterone factor — also known as new steroid routine.
Well, secret ballots ultimately won, and it was a good thing, according to the ever eloquent Ace: “If someone says a name that’s not you, you’re like ‘Yeah, it’s not me. So it is him.’ And then everyone else will jump behind the bandwagon and do the same thing.” Behind the bandwagon, on the bandwagon — same difference. I think Ace’s point was that a secret ballot cuts down on unfair railroading due to peer pressure. And yeah, that’s true. But railroading is more fun to watch. Then again, if the first Gauntlet taught us anything, it’s that a secret ballot can still yield tons of drama (Veronica vs. Sarah, anyone?).
Anyway, Derrick unsurprisingly was sent into the Gauntlet where he faced Adam in a rousing game of… “Name That Coconut.” No one really knew what that was, but that didn’t stop Derrick from being amped. “I’m gonna brush my teeth and get ready for war!” A war on PLAQUE!!! ARGH!!!
Turns out that “Name That Coconut” was merely just trivia. But trivia TO THE EXTREME!!! Basically, TJ would read a question, and the answer was written on a coconut. The first person to retrieve said coconut would win a point, with the trick being that players could try to knock the coconut free from the other person. Of course, “knocking a coconut free” quickly translated into “homoerotic wrestling” as the two guys found themselves sweaty and pawing at each other like two horny raccoons. Or so I’d imagine.
“They’re not messing around!” commented Jeremy from the sidelines. SHUT UP. Who are you? You were on Road Rules: South Pacific for like two episodes. Stop forcing yourself onto MTV.
Meanwhile, rookie team member Cara — who acts like she’s the only reality star to ever pose for Playboy — noted that it would be good for Adam to go home because he’s not only strong, but “he’s like the brains of the whole function.” Wow, that’s just sad.
Anyway, alleged intellectual tour-de-force Adam took an early lead over Derrick with a score of 2 to 1, but the feisty lush came back strong, tying it up and then eventually moving ahead, 3 to 2. When asked a question about his cast mate Danny, Derrick yelled out, “You’re my boy, boo!” Aww, that’s sweet. Now get back to the challenge. We’ve been watching this for about forty-five minutes now.
In an attempt to get back in the game, Adam tried a new, more erotic strategy by essentially dry-humping Derrick. Every time Derrick got on his knees to investigate the coconuts, Adam would literally shimmy up from behind and envelope his opponent in a gentle man-on-man embrace. Truthfully, he was just trying to get into better position to knock a coconut from Adam’s hands, but whatever. It was the most romantic moment since MJ and Landon shared a tender evening together on Real World: Philly.
Ultimately, Derrick won the Gauntlet, meaning that he would now be team captain. As for Adam, it was time for him to go bye-bye. “Adam going home is very detrimental to this team,” lamented future AARP member Timmy. Hey man, at least you’ve still got Derrick, and surely he won’t lead to any problems at all. Except for his surly rage. And alcoholic belligerence. And general insecurities.
Later, as Derrick moved into the captain bedroom, someone called out “Hey Derrick!” To which he replied, “Actually, just start calling me Captain now. Ha ha! Just kidding.” Not really. This kid’s about to go on a power trip, and it’s not gonna be pleasant. Let’s just say I wouldn’t want to put him in any Stanford prison experiments. But as long as no one calls anyone “Cappy,” I’ll be fine.
What did you think? Did you like this episode? Will you miss Adam?
If you like it, spread it!:

hey, I just noticed that the model who’s butt was out on Project Runway is on the little Neighborhoodies ad on the side of this post…
yes, I have no life.
See what all that soft Cali living will do for you? Eating all that tofu and soy and sushi and mess like that. Don’t even know what “Munchies” are. For shame!
Anyway, the recap was hot and fast, just how I like it.
Thanks baby.
Jo had some major issues which could’ve led to more interesting thing… but she was too freakin’ annoying! Good riddance!
I really didn’t think that Julie cursed. How’d THAT happen? I think that cut on her forehead was a sign of a concussion.
So would Jo just sue Tobago or would she sue Trinidad, too?
Sorry. I should be sent to the bad joke gauntlet =(
Does anyone think that the whole Jo thing might have been planned by MTV to get everyone hooked early on by the “totally crazy drama”? She was just so highly irrational, it seemed like the whole thing had to have been planned.
yeah, I’m not so sure I like this season that much…no one is that interesting yet…curious to see if anyone steps us to create a ton of drama… By the way.. Derrick yelled “You’re my boy Blue..” its a quote from Old School.
As the proud owner of Old School, I should have caught that. Maybe I’m just going deaf.
Jo is a damn nutcase.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the whole thing was set-up. I know that Jo hasn’t been on reality tv for awhile but I’m sure she checked out a few challenge episodes, especially when she signed up for one. What did she think, she was going to be knitting and drinking tea and eating crumpets? the challenges are known for drama, she is either an idiot for thinking otherwise, or she was payed to start the drama.
Either way, I’m glad she’s gone. She was annoying.
I actually feel dirty after watching this one:
Adam (Paris) ogling Beth’s droopy fun-bags…
Beth and Ace hooking up (?)…
Aneesa’s WHORErible strip-tease… Mark Long-Past 30, and his man-boobies, looked like he was riding a big, slutty horse.
Has anyone noticed that Beth looks like the love child of Janice Dickinson and The Joker (from the TV series, NOT the movie). The only thing that crazy bitch could have to offer a guy would HAVE to be the possibility of a** sex, I can’t think of ANY other way she could lure a coherent, ambulatory male into having intercourse with her. Eeeewwwww!
Are Cameran and MJ sister/brother/cousin-lovers?
hey man, you forgot the best part of the munchies, the captain crunch part. delish
Nicely done, B-side, nicely done.
And, I didn’t think that was appropriate mormon language either. LOL!
I like this challenge so far…after that crappy RW season, this is like the greatest thing ever. They must plan it that way.
Jo has to be off her rocker. Seriously, I hope someone shows her what ‘manhandling’ really is. Coral would have been a good canidate for that. Was that Julie calling someone else crazy? Julie might be slightly less insane than Jo but not by much.
I’ve got a lovely bunch of coconuts (doodeedeedoo) See them here standing in a row-oh. Big ones small ones some as big as your head…..
Okay, that’s a sign I’ve watched the lion king one to many times.
I really was relieved upon seeing that the cast did not include the ever present Skank Squad. (Rachel , Whoronica, Coral, Tonya, and Tina)
But then we have Katie, who out skanks all five of them.
Hey, watch it B-side, I love Timmy. He might be much older than the rest of the cast. But he does have a few brain cells left, not to mention a great sense of humor. He doesn’t take all of the drama surrounding him or the challenges so seriously. (uhhmm Julie and Derrick)
Every time I see Derrick I can’t help but imagine him having really foul, morning after, a drinking binge, breath.
I never have liked Aneesa, but at least now she looks as horrible and skeazy as she is. Perfect transformation for her.
This new host is rather boring. It seemed as though he had a hard time explaining the rules of the Gauntlet challenge. C. Hart would have been a better choice.
And lastly, drawing names from a hat might be fair for the players. But doesn’t insure keeping a strong team.
And isn’t that imperative if you are going to win money for your team?
Maybe I should go onto the MTV website and take the tour of the house or something, but the room where the chocolate incident happened didn’t look like the same captain’s room they showed earlier. It looked like a couple of twin beds pushed together, but earlier they were cleary double, if not queen sized beds. And the bedspreads were different. So, question is, if that’s the case, this wouldn’t even be Jo’s room so what is there to freak out about?
“SHUT UP. Who are you? You were on Road Rules: South Pacific for like two episodes. Stop forcing yourself onto MTV.”
LOL, you took the words right out of my mouth
Ok, to satisfy my own curiousity, I just went to MTV.com and took a picture tour of the house. I guess there are two seperate rooms for the captains, and one is in fact the one we saw on tv. So Jo was totally rational about this all since it was her room.
Not.
It really is too bad that Jo left, she could have been such a valuable asset for her team! (read: crazy entertaining drama for us viewers, tear)
I heart Timmy, he’s the best. In a preview for next episode it shows him mocking Aneesa behind her back. He better watch out or she’ll MANHANDLE him! (and then he’ll sue the island, etc etc)
Did I get this wrong … didn’t someone comment that Jo got upset because two people were having sex in her bed with chocolate syrup …
I think the real disgrace her is that they didn’t give us much a definitive answer in who was getting it on! Any guesses???
I didn’t know Hal Sparks was on this show. Why is he wearing a bikini in the picture?
I can’t believe Ace was hooking up with Beth after he’s “talked” to Cameron or dated Mallory. How do you go from hot to so NOT. Think this is part of his plan to make it longer on the challenge?
Speaking of Cameron? has she stopped hitting people in the b.a.l.l.s?
As for Cara, dang! I know you lost some weight from your first season, but you looked great on the first gauntlet, so quit with the ego!!
Love the Munchies. My dad totally invented them back in the day tho. Whenever the chip stash was getting low and I’d bitch my dad would take all the low bags and make one bag and tell me to “Eat it”.
no one had sex in her bed…derrick passed out and kina spilled it on the floor thats all that happened
Who wants to make a bet that Beth will be the first voted into the Gauntlet by her team? She is such a goner. I don’t even know why she unpacks.
Hey do any of you old timers remember, long ago, when Susie had a crazy man crush on Timmy? I wonder whatever became of that?
Also, Adam is so overrated and is so not interesting.
And finally, who is Jo? I don’t remember her ever!
B-side, I am so happy that you are re-capping the Gauntlet. I was afraid that I would have to start watching “Big Brother” just so I could read your re-caps. Thanks for saving me that agony!
I would love to hear Jo’s post show explanation for all of that. (Not enough to watch the ‘after show’ but you know…)
New host is terrible. I feel like he’s faking a southern accent or something.
i LOVED julie’s ocean freak out after they lost the challenge. “what the f*ck did we do wrong?” umm… you didn’t do anything wrong, you had the same strategy as the other team, you just didn’t run as fast as MJ, that’s all. stop beating up the ocean.
derrick totally voted himself into the gauntlet with that random outburst about voting. obviously if you explode about something that’s not important, people are gonna pick you out as a loose cannon and want you out of there. also, i think in the beginning it makes more sense to do a secret ballot — it takes less time (because people don’t explain their choices) and there are so many people to choose from, it’s just easier.
I’m thinking they should strike Jo from the opening credits. Did she even spend a single night there?
I was hoping they’d bring in an emergency replacement from an earlier show, someone with a little more mental stability than Jo.
How bout that lunatic wtih Lyme disease from Real World Seattle?
#24
On the show that introduced the cast (it came on the week before the actual challenge started) they said Susie and Timmy just broke off their engagement before the show started….interesting.
I thought they said on the pre-game show (so to speak) that Susie and Timmy had been engaged-and were no longer together.
Jo I believe was brought in to the Real World San Fran after they gave Puck the boot. I couldn’t stand her then and……..
Anyone know why Jonny Moseley wasn’t back for this Gauntlet?
Love, love, love the recaps!!!
I miss the bitch brigade. Even Katie has seemed relatively calm thus far without Veronica and Coral (all-time faves), Tonya, or Tina to set her off.
Random question that’s been bothering me…remember that pain in the ass Chadwick from Australian Road Rules?? Who was he engaged to (or dating) that he appeared on a challenge with?
Gauntlet Junkie: Chadwick Pelltier (sp?) wound up marrying Holly, who was on Road Rules XTreme (I think that was its title… it was the one with Theo V. as another castmember, and it had that weird Max Headroom-ish announcer guy on the RV’s television that would deliver their task assignments to them). Anyway, Holly & Chadwick got married, came on the challenge together, preached to everyone in listening range about their born-again-edness and holier-than-thouedness, and irritated everyone. I wonder what kinds of stuff I could remember if I wasn’t taking up brain space with this sort of information? hehe
Watching Annesa’s cringworthy strip dance was so absolutely vulgar. her nasty face with he eyes half open and her tongue wagging out was just enough to make me lose dinner. mark could not even be entertained let alone aroused. icky icky icky. mullet bi-sexual nasty bikini lap dance….it should have been “save the last dance….”
I think it was a mistake for this show to stray from the Battle of the Sexes format. How are they going to replace the conniving, backstabbing and all out brawls from last season’s women’s team?
Yeah, Aneesa is the ugliest out there! It’s like she’s TRYING to make herself look bad. I hope she goes home early so I won’t have to get sick.
This host does suck. When he was explaining the challenge, the cast was looking all over the place like they were already bored! Then with the whole Derrick and Adam Gauntlet, the host kept saying, No wrestling! They just kept on wrestling. The host isn’t assertive enough and doesn’t know what he’s doing!
Why do I have a memory of that Chadwick guy doing backflips over and over. Did something like that happen? Wasn’t he on the same one with that girl Piggy?
And what the H with Susie and Timmy? He is funny but he’s 40 and didn’t she just turn 16?
Timmy & Susie were engaged?! How bizarre. Must be awkward being on the challenge together.
And Mike, #20, HAL SPARKS IN A BIKINI!!! You are on the money, she could totally pass for him, that’s freaking hilarious!!
the thing that totally bugs about mark long is how he tries to rock like a million trends at once. the bandana, the aviators, the wooden beads, the spikey hair… i mean, pick one and stick with it!
fab recap as always b-side!
Yes, let’s resurrect Chadwick. On another message board, there was an all out massacre of Mr. Pelletier. Chaddy had all sorts of information on his website that was straight out lies – going to Harvard to be a doctor, where he did get his degree, being a former Olympian… he was KILLED by all the emails from people and phone calls to appropriate parties letting them know that Chad was misrepresenting their organizations and himself.
He is such a tool.
I also thought it was funny how they had like, the intern do the editing of the two of them running across the beach in a “close race”. So close that we couldn’t even see a shot of both of them running to the line at the same time, eh?
Adam should have just faked Derek out every time and grabbed the wrong coconut, let him wring it from his hands, and then go off with it. (though it did seem a lot of the questions were pro derek since i think 2 were about his season and most were fairly new seasons)
Timmy is at least 35, if not older. I remember watching him back in the early 90s, I think it might have been the first RR. I thought he got married. Beth’s at least 35 too. RE Beth, I think she actually looks much better, and has probably had a ton of work done. Does anyone know what her day gig is?
I guess Chadwick was inducuted into the martial arts hall of fame. They call him “Sensei Chadwick” now! Hurl!

YES! Chadwick & Holly were great…everyone would be partying .. i feel like that was the episode with the hurricane & they all threw a massive toga party, and Chadwick & Holly refused to attend and read their bible instead. Good Times.
This season of the gauntlet doesnt have too many of the normal scandalous players i.e. Coral, the Miz, Trishelle, Veronica….somoene’s really going to have to “step it up” this season to make it worth watching….the challenge part of the show is always the boring part. Jo left waaay to early. Julie has shown great potential in the past w. trying to kill veronica and all, but it would be nice to see someone new and seemingly innocent come out and shine in the psycho department. Cameron perhaps?
I think Derrick is destined for at least as big of a meltdown/breakdown as Jo had. He may get drunk one night (or every night) and throw someone off a balcony. That is, unless they throw him off first. He’s a head case with great psycho potential, and for that reason I hope he stays around for at least a few weeks.
what happened to the pictures??!!
1. who’s susie again?
Does anyone else think the entire system is lame? What captain stands the chance to stay the whole time? And the teams aren’t really cheering in the Gauntlet because they aren’t fighting against each other. I dunno, I just think it’s kinda stupid.
#9;;
The guys go after Beth because she’s easy.
#37: Yes, Chadwick did do backflips a lot–he was very proud of his ability to do standing backflips. And you are right again: he was on Road Rules with Piggy.
#45- It was the hurricane one. And Chadwick and Holly were constantly preaching.
* I like Julie. I think she’s got some nuts for a girl. Not just attitude.
* I am strangely obssessed with Mark Long. He’s way old though (he was in the first RR not Timmy.)
* MJ and Aneesa gross me out just when they come on screen.
* This season is looking pretty lame. I hope some other chick goes after Mark so that Robin could go postal on them. I don’t believe this whole “I didn’t want a boyfriend, he didn’t want a girlfriend” crap. It’s more like…HE didn’t want a girlfriend.
Is it me or did Alton become about ten times more jacked in the past thirty seconds?
Alton is so damn hot!!!! He is my reason for watching the show. I think we should all start calling him “Hot Buns Alton”. The man is F-I-N-E!!
#52 Mark was on RR with a girl named Kit – i definatelly remember that and I think Timmy was on with Emily, Essie and a guy with dreads…if Im not mistaken there was a romance between dread boy & Emily. but could this have all been the same season? the first season?
Yes, Mark was on the first road rules. I saw Kit as a judge on ESPN’s dream job. Emily was dating Devon (dread boy). Anyone remember Belou from Road Rules? Her fight with Chadwick and Holly was the funniest thing I have ever seen. I still quote that fight to this day. “I Hope You Never have Kid.” Bring back Belou
Hmm. Perhaps I’m the only one reading old enough to remember Jo’s season of the Real World, but wasn’t she in the process of getting a restraining order from a crazy boyrfriend who manhandled her? Maybe she was having flashbacks. Or maybe this is something she does every so often: Freak out for no apparent reason and claim to be physically assaulted. Weird.
Oh, and those speculatin on the age thing, Timmy is about 31 and Beth is almost 37! Man, I might be 33 and enjoying watching these idiots, but I can’t imagine actually being around them while puching 40. Beth needs a life. Seriously.
And as far as I can tell, all the bitches badmouthing Cara for being in Playboy are just jealous that she’s an actual Playmate and not just part of a “Hey, look at these naked TV attention whores” spread.
I’m not sure if I can even stomach watching these attention whores anymore. I used to like watching them, but its the same freaking people over and over and over again. And now they are interbreeding and shit? It’s just all so sick and nauseating. Even as early as last season I still felt kind of bad for Beth, because I have a sensitive heart and like the underdog. But now? Now, I see her for the over-the-hill, cloying, whiny person that she is. These people need to retire from reality t.v. and get a life. They are pathetic. But yeah I’ll probably still watch it.
#50;;
I totally forgot about Piggy. I wonder what she’s doing now.
Apparently Chadwick is now a sensei for something called “Karate for Christ” – a.k.a. “Breakin Boards for Jesus”- check it out http://www.karateforchrist.com
You can’t make this shit up!!!!
OK I am officially a loser. Piggy is crusading against smoking. I guess Heather B catching her in the bathroom smoking was a sign from god.
Spoiler Alert Maybe?
So I’m pretty sure next week Cameran must go home. She’s on the aftershow Overdrive thingy. Don’t they usually interview the person most recently kicked off?
This season has so far been lame; even with Jo’s freak-out.
They should really put out the past seasons of Road Rules and the Real World on DVD. I wonder what’s taking them so long…they could make shitloads of money on that old stuff.
#48- Susie was on Road Rules Australia. I think it was the best season ever, but then again, at the time I was totally in love with the douche/Jesus freak/karate kid Chadwick.
Hilarious AND intelligent!
I’m still unclear as to why Jo would want to leave all these muscled sexy men, katieshole would be getting a work out. I guess Ruthie is right, she’s just crazy.
I had no idea cutie Derrick was such a drunk! And how hideous is that fat assed over botoxed nasty Beth? She is so ugly, she would have to die, get reincarnated, and come back as someone else. You can polish a turd, I suppose…
KH
Check out the Beth from RW Season II, on MTV.com. She’s much better looking now, believe me. I’m betting she’s someone who looks scary in real life, bc she must have had a lot of work done.
This is really going to date me, but, didn’t Timmy and Emily (from season one) have something. I remember that they were in a very serious car accident, then Emily was on some challenge and she and some-other-fella were dating or something? Also, on what ever season that Timmy was on there was a foreign kid that was super funny. He would lift his elbow up when they drank. I still do that when I am drinking a lot, but no one ever gets it! Is there a web site that updates where all of these people are now?
#66- I thought it was Emily and the guy with the dreads (I can’t remember his name). And they do need a site with updates on all the people!
Thanks all who filled me in on the Chadwick/Holly romance. Now that you’ve jogged my memory, my most lasting impression of Chadwick was of him and Holly lying on a hammock during the challenge they were on, one of them had just gotten sent home early in the game, and they were having complete emotional breakdowns. If MTV is going to do away with the bitchy girls, at least bring back emotionally unstable lunatics who, unlike Jo, will actually stay…Amaya (RW Hawaii), Irene (Seattle) anyone??
It was Emily and Christian(the funny foreign guy) who got into the car accident, they were best friends, and he was also good friends with Timmy.

I agree with you, unstable lunatics who stay around are always better, but Irene from Seattle went home on her season of RW. She’d run home crying faster than it’d take Julie to break her mormon principles.
WHat happened with the car accident? Was Christian OK?
What happened with the car accident??? They all died! Don’t you remember?!
It was the first Real World /Road Rules Funeral, but I’m sure it won’t be the last. Suchin Pak gave the Eulogy.
Car accident?
daaaaaaaaang kaneetra i can’t believe i forgot about that whole thing with belou #55. that was frickin hilarious! she’s is mental, but that was so funny the way she went off on them.
the gauntlet never fails to disappoint, man. it’s like these kids are still trapped in some high school world where their egos, drug abuse, alcoholism, and constant drama create an adult version of ‘degrassi’ only with challenges. love it.
as for jeremy, dead on b-side. great recap.
p.s. did anyone else find it funny that ruthie was calling someone else crazy?
i think the host has a stuttering a problem..even i lose interest when he talks
In that car accident Emily died. They announced it on MTV right after it happened.
im done watching..tonight totally sucked
Emily didn’t die, she was in a challenge about 2 years ago. You are probably thinking of Michelle, who was in Road Rules Europe. She died in a car accident. There is an article about it on the RR website on MTV.
mmmmm…. Adam Larsen is sexy as f. How hot was he in the gauntlet? I will miss him.
Emily and Christian didn’t die, her face was disfigured and she had to have major reconstructive surgery, I think Christian was fine and he was the driver…Emily later dated James they hooked up on a cross country bike trip before the battle of the sexes..they were both on that season and Emily was all about winning and was doing a good job until James got kicked off and then all of a sudden she was over the competition and went home…she was so close to finishing im sure James could have done without her for a few weeks if she brought home what is it $50,000..very unclear thinking on her part if you ask me.
cannot wait any longer for the recap of last night’s episode! I am completed baffled by Cameron’s behavior. How useless.
I like how the host (don’t know his name, nor do I care) tried to lay down the law asking if their was anyone else who wanted to quit..think he was trying to make up for acting like such a wimp up until that point.
And Aneesa !!! Her tirade was HILARIOUS… but Christ is she gross.
awwww…. i just found out who won the challenge by mistake…i really thought the veterans were gonna win..oops i said to much
Thanks alot laurie, way to ruin it for the rest of us!
was some chick giving a guy head on the first episode at the birthday party?? I dunno bout you all but to me it looked like she was about or giving him head wut else would she be doin down there???
