Well, here we are, Gasmii, at the final challenge. Oh wait, never mind! Hope you’re cool with a nice little cocktease, or wanted to wait another week to find out who wins, because you’re going to whether you like it or not. But that’s okay, because we still have plenty of things to discuss in this episode.
First I want to apologize for the late recap. Also, I wanted to respond to all of your comments from the last recap, but this past week has completely gotten away from me. I read all of the comments though and they were awesome as always!
Previously: Everyone freaked the fuck out over the news that they would be traveling to Argentina. Once they arrived, Roy Lee promptly destroyed the competition and, in turn, the alliance’s master plan. Gloriously (for us), the Jungle will now include the following rematch:
It would be awesome if CT channeled his inner Brad and screamed out “Now it’s a backpack!” in reference to Brad’s “Now it’s a necklace!”
CT was amused by how deeply he terrifies the mob, and Bananas decided he needed to destroy Adam from the inside out in order to hurt his Jungle performance. This, hilariously, led to a fight between Bananas and CT over who is the bigger bully. Answer: they should both go bang their heads against the wall for a little while.
We begin this episode right where the last one left off: mid-fight. We’re meant to believe that there is a possibility of CT punching Bananas, but that is just a cruel tease. As Liz so astutely pointed out in last week’s comments section, it is clear from the clothes they are wearing that this fight occurred the same night as Wes pouring soda on CM, only earlier. It makes a lot more sense since I knew that was too many nights between the vote and the Jungle. I know that logistically they need to edit things out of sequence at times, but this was just a cheap attempt at a cliffhanger.
So anyway, we rejoin their screaming match, and I have to watch it twice because the first time I get distracted:
Holy Effing Hotness, Kenny.
It is a damn good thing he doesn’t read this, because I would hate myself for contributing to the massively overblown ego of Mr. Beautiful, but sometimes I just can’t help it. Anyway, where were we? Oh yes, Bananas is reminding us that CT has beaten the shit out of Adam on multiple occasions. He adds that CT has gone out of his way to humiliate Adam and is completely delusional.
Yes, Bananas, you are the pillar of morality. Thank you for always taking up the mantle of the weaker man… in the rare circumstance that it is beneficial to you.
CT says every time he raises his voice, the villagers gather up their pitchforks and try to chase him away like he’s Frankenstein. My goodness, that was almost a literary refrence! It was at least an old film one. Anyway, Adam tells him not to hit anyone and CT promises he won’t. Then CT promises that he has Adam’s back and he wants to cross the finish line together. CT tries to reminisce about when they first met in Paris, but Adam has different memories of being pushed around, getting dumped on, and having his face split open. They really do have quite the history. Adam says he doesn’t want to be naive enough to think that their strong team chemistry means anything in the long run, but they have to work together to win.
The morning of the Jungle, Laurel brings CT a fruit plate and they discuss the niceness of her doing that for him. Mark your calendars, Gasmii, this must be the first time someone has called Laurel “nice.” CT says he feels good about today and makes jokes about domesticity. Laurel says she obviously want CT to come back from the elimination round so she can hang out with him more. She does know the final is next, right? And then they all go home?
Jenn and Adam discuss his morning meal of fruit, and she tells him he needs carbs. He decides to go eat eggs, even though those are protein. Also, I guess fruit is enough for CT? Adam tells us he has to win this elimination round because he “needs” more time with Jenn.
Didn’t anyone tell them this is the last elimination, and after the final they all return to the real world? They do know that it’s possible to contact each other in the outside world, right?
Jenn, on the other hand, is a cold hard bitch and says she wants Johnny and Tyler to come back since they’re part of her alliance. She does know they can’t help her anymore, right? Oh well, say what you will about Jenn, but she certainly doesn’t let “feelings” (if she actually has any) get in the way of the game.
In the ultimate sign of female bonding, Laurel calls Cara Maria in to help her make CT’s shirt look “cute” for the elimination round. She says it’s a big “statement” to wear his shirt and babbles incoherently about not expecting to meet someone on the challenge. To quote Phoebe Buffay, she is “SO the smitten kitten!”
Bananas notices this and calls her “such a loser,” much to the amusement of Tyler and Laurel’s supposed friend Kenny. This must be totally different from that time Bananas and company wore shirts to support Jonna and Jasmine. Although he should really be blaming his BFF’s Kenny and Evan for starting it. Bananas then says that the only thing worse than being the first person eliminated is being the last person eliminated, since you can smell the finish line. He says there’s nothing worse…
… as he packs up his suitcase. Or should we say his “custom made Johnny Bananas” suitcase?
Tyler is confident because he’s trained hard and he thinks he’s a better athlete than the other guys. They arrive at the elimination round and are welcomed by TJ. Laurel and Cara Maria are wearing blue in support of CT and Adam, and everyone else is wearing black except for MikeRoy, who awesomely can’t be bothered with that shit. Teej calls the participating guys up, and they’re so scared that they walk in slow motion. This episode is SUPER dramatic, y’all.
They will be playing T-Bone. It’s basically a giant X dug into the ground, and the teams have to run balls from one side to the other. The potential for drama comes in the middle of the X, where collisions are very possible. Each team member has to run 5 balls across the playing field, and they each have a designated color and can’t touch their teammates’ balls. I love it when you talk dirty, Teej. Oh, and in case you were wondering if CT is ready to go:
“I smell a new fall line of Johnny Backpacks with matching Tyler duffel bags!”
Ev is permitted to crawl out of whatever hole she’s been hiding in for most of the last few episodes to tell us how dramatic this will surely be. Johnny understates that he and Johnny have some “unfinished business” with CT, and says that if they beat him it will be “epic.” Well, your last round against CT certainly didn’t last long enough to be considered “epic,” dude. Adam tells CT not to think too much, and CT assures that he is “gone.”
Adam claims that this is about speed, not strategy, and he’s faster than Johnny and Tyler. CT is literally jumping up and down at the thought of finally getting to put his hands on someone. Now that he mentions it, this has been a fairly hands off season.
This is so dramatic that TJ even blows the starting horn in slow motion, but then the guys are off and running. Adam and Tyler both fuck up the “don’t touch your teammate’s balls” rule, so we get to hear TJ woodenly tell them that they are screwing up. The only thing CT can do to fix Adam’s screw up is to flatten/destroy the other team, so he managed to knock them both the fuck down with one quick hit. Tyler claims he’s never been hit that hard in his life.
CT is the first to complete his part, followed closely by Johnny. Since Adam and Tyler were slowed down by their mess ups, they are now racing for the finish. It is legitimately REALLY CLOSE, as they both reach the middle at the same time and then have to struggle up the hill with their final ball. (I’m assuming there was some sort of rule that they each had to stay in their own part of the X so they could only come into contact with the other team in the middle.) Tyler is falling up the hill, while Adam is being dragged up by his clothes by CT. As we go into commercial, it looks neck-and-neck until Tyler seems to have a slight edge.
… And sure enough, we return from commercial to see Tyler win. Ev, Paula, and Jenn all freak out and pile on top of Tyler while screaming with happiness (et tu, Ev?). Sad music plays while CT and Adam sit there looking defeated. And then this happens:
I’d have to consult Charlie Sheen for the final verdict, but I’m relatively certain we can classify this as #losing.
Way to harsh Johnny’s buzz, Wes. CT rips his helmet off and is clearly pissed, but doesn’t say anything to Adam yet. Although I suppose silent CT is probably the scariest CT. Tyler is bleeding from the mouth and looks not unlike a zombie. Johnny and Tyler are, of course, elated and Johnny claims that words cannot describe the feeling. They then promptly use the words “euphoria, karma, and retribution.” Okay, euphoria I get, but the other two? When will Bananas quit acting like the world owes him something?
Johnny calls his backpack impersonation his lowest point in Challenge history. He claims that pulling off “the biggest upset in Challenge history” with Tyler proves how great they are together. Hyperbole much? They’re hugging and complimenting each other and possibly almost as in love as Kenny and Evan. It’s touching.
Far be it from me to rain on your Euphoria Day Parade, but you do realize that you technically only beat ADAM, right? Ya dumb bitch.
Laurel is sad because she doesn’t want to say goodbye to CT this way. Again, she does realize that they are technically real people who still exist when the Challenge ends, does she not?
CT (nicely) tells Adam to say something, and Adam sadly says he dragged CT down and cost him the game. CT half-heartedly refutes this, but Adam tells us he can’t even look CT in the face right now. (I read somewhere that Wes was yelling at Adam that he DQ’d for touching the ball, which caused Adam’s hesitation and might have cost him the game. If that’s true, I so wish CT would haul off and hit Wes. I really don’t condone violence, but Wes is SO asking for it.)
Adam says if he were CT he would want to kill him right now. Luckily, CT appears to be past that point in his life and simply tells us that he’s proud of Adam for giving it his all. He’s clearly not happy (and knows Adam cost them the game), but he has definitely improved his ability to keep his cool, I’ll give him that. Laurel tells us she doesn’t know how to handle the situation, but she would want to be left alone after losing so she’s giving CT his space. Johnny tells Adam he played a “hell of a game.”
And kisses the back of his neck, for some reason. Maybe Johnny really is a mob boss, which I suppose makes Adam a good fella.
TJ congratulates the “underdogs” on their win, causing Johnny to take mock offense. Tyler tells us how they’ve become brothers over the years, and now they’re convinced they can win the final challenge. Jenn, via confessional, says nice things about Adam but then claims they are “friends,” and she’ll see him soon. Jenn’s never had a romance that’s lasted too long after a season ended, has she?
CT tells us that even though he’s going home before the final challenge, he’s had a blast (cue montage of challenges), “maybe made a new friend,” (another brief montage of him asking Adam if they’re friends), and he’s “the luckiest kid in the world.” He does seem like he’s come a long way. He hasn’t done anything this season worse than yelling at people who were provoking him in the first place, except for ganging up on Cara Maria that one time. And let’s face it, does anyone feel bad for Wes or Johnny for getting yelled at when they were starting shit in the first place? I sure don’t.
Adam tells us that he didn’t know how CT felt coming into this season, but now he knows that CT regrets what happened at the Duel II. He forgives CT and hopes CT forgives him.
My guess is that he thinks this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Teej congratulates everyone on the end of eliminations (which somehow surprises Paula, because she is shocked by EVERYTHING) and making it to the final. They celebrate and hug, with Kenny hilariously telling Paula “you got what you wanted.” Way to be happy for your alleged friend, dude.
The most important conclusion to draw from this picture is that Wes is clearly a closeted MikeRoy supporter.
Back at the house, Laurel sulks because CT is gone. DUDE. You can see him in like four days if you are that desperate. Cara Maria comforts her and says that she knows how nice it is to have a male support system since she did CutThroat with Abe. Dammit, CM, every time I decide I like you, you have to go and be all dependent. CM suggest that Laurel put CT’s jersey on a pillow, as she has done with one of Abram’s shirts. As weird as even CM knows it is, at least these two seem like actual friends now. Laurel says CM is like an annoying little sister, but at least they are there for each other.
Kenny has the honor of reading the final clue, but I’m still sad that they stopped throwing random objects at the clue reader. Oh hey, guess what? The final challenge is in Patagonia, which means another location change, so obviously everyone starts screaming/freaking out. Walnuts is baffled, since in her billions of years of Challenging, never have there been TWO location changes! Good lord, imagine if she were on Road Rules? Her brain might have exploded. I kind of miss Road Rules, although I didn’t watch the apparently-low-rated Viewer’s Revenge, so I suppose I’m part of the problem.
Ev decides to be a breath of fresh air, as per usual, and prove that she actually knows what Patagonia is. She tells us there are mountains and lakes and it’s an “outdoorsman’s paradise.” As they cheer this mind-boggling turn of events, someone (Kenny I think?) asks if that’s a country or a region. It’s a good thing he’s pretty.
When we come back from commercial, we get to hear the news again, for some reason, but this time I notice that Roy Lee had his arm on the sofa behind MikeMike. Could those two possibly be any more adorable?
Oh look, guys, Mandi has a lot of baggage. Shocking.
Upon arrival in Patagonia, everyone admires the lovely scenery. They arrive at their equally lovely house and are picking out bedrooms, which somehow leads to Wes whining about Cara Maria. How more people are not whining about Wes, I will never understand. He calls her one of the “dumbest, most space-cadety people” he’s ever met, which is certainly saying something from someone who is partnered with Kenny and sleeping with Mandi. He’s not sorry for pouring the cola on her head and calls it “the best thing that could have been done for her.” Yes, nothing breeds intelligence like a cola shower.
Hey, have you guys heard that this is Paula’s eighth challenge, and she’s never won? She claims it’s “not about the pride, it’s about the win.” Good thing, Walnuts, because pride is so far in the rearview mirror it’s crazy. Jenn says she’s staring her final in the face… literally, since she assumes she’ll have to climb one of the mountains they’re looking at. MikeMike tells Leroy they need to stay strong and not let the veterans get inside their heads. No one expected them to make the finals, and no one will see it coming when they win, says MikeMike as he flexes for us.
Oh, MikeMike, we heart you. Please don’t die during this final.
Roy Lee jokes about tortoises winning the race, and says he might just start off walking. The two of them jokingly walk around, because they are still sane human beings who remember that real life still exists beyond the Challenges. I love that between Roy Lee’s outstanding people skills and MikeMike’s intellectual advantage, they were able to play the best game rookies possibly could.
Tyler spouts more of his sunshine merriment to Ev about how wonderful he and his partner are. Is anyone else sick of hearing how much Johnny and Tyler love each other? I mean, good for them, I guess, but whatever.
They go on to say that MikeRoy haven’t been tested “at all” (plus they are the only ones who don’t think the Challenge is the most important thing in the universe) and Wes and Kenny are the only ones left who aren’t a team and are just two people wearing the same jersey. That is so true, I’ve seen the other douches interacting more with Wes than Kenny has. Tyler then says it’s not about the money, it’s about the journey, and he wants to win. He zigs, he zags, he’s back to zig!
Mandi says that when she and Jenn got into their fight on Fresh Meat II, she felt “this big,” (AKA really tiny). Well, hopefully by now everyone has realized that Jenn is all bark and no bite. We get a flashback, with NOOR! Also, Jenn totally pushed Mandi in that clip and Cara Maria in the bonus clip online a few weeks ago, and didn’t get sent home. She must be blowing production, too. Mandi says she and Jenn are technically “Rivals,” but they’re friends now. Until you point out something that Jenn is clearly doing, at which point she will flip her shit.
Wow, Wes’ penis is just as small as one would expect!
Cara Maria says that whenever the other challengers do the littlest thing, she immediately puts up a wall and write them off, especially Wes. Laurel is astounded that she would let someone have that much power over her, although I’m not sure how “writing Wes off” gives him any power over her.
Laurel says that both CM and Wes think the other did something wrong and CM should apologize just to smooth things over. CM is baffled by this suggestion and says she can’t be nice to an asshole. Whatever CM “did” to Wes, I sure as hell haven’t seen it. On the other hand, Wes is absolutely an asshole, so I’m with CM here. Mandi tells CM that’s the mentality of an eleven year old, and CM hilariously and awesomely replies, “I have the mentality of an eleven year old? Look who you’re fucking.” Laurel says she’s worried about CM and wants her to be fresh and free of hatred for the final. In terms of the final, Laurel just needs to be content with the fact that she and CM are getting along with each other, since that’s all that matters.
Mandi and Wes chillax on lawn chairs and discuss the 8th wonder of the world that is Wes. Wes claims he’s the reason Kenny is in the final (sadly, this is true) and says now he actually needs Kenny to perform. Then he “jokes” (to the extent that Wes is capable of making a joke, that is) that he’s afraid CM is up on the balcony with a bottle of soda, and Mandi says she’s talked about it. Wes immediately gets serious and ponders whether she wants to start a war, because he would totally up the ante.
“I will totally… put dirt in her hair. That’s worse, right?”
A bunch of people are gathered in the living room, where Jenn says she doesn’t “think CM is a perfect little angel, but-” and then Wes cuts her off, so we never get to hear the end of that sentence. Has Jenn forgiven CM for the transgression of pointing out a simple, obvious fact? These are the things that keep me up at night.
Wes claims that he’s not the only one who called her fake and immature, and the conversation is apparently loud enough for CM to hear from the other room. She claims Wes hasn’t said more than three sentences to her the entire time they’ve been there, so she doesn’t know why he’s judging her when he doesn’t know her. CM asks Wes if he knows how stupid he sounds right now.
The answer to your question is no. Despite the fact that he almost ALWAYS sounds like an idiotic moron, Wes has NEVER been aware of this fact.
CM calls him condescending and Wes asks if she wants to have a constructive conversation or if she wants him to make her cry. CM awesomely gives him a Look and then just DARES him to make her cry. He starts out by saying that everyone in the house says “extremely harsh” things behind her back, but she tells him to just speak for himself. He says he thinks she’s extremely immature (Wes is so often the blackest pot accusing the kettle of the same), and that she’s “not deep enough for him.” Wow, Mandi must be just the picture of maturity and depth since Wes thinks so highly of her.
CM gets even more awesome as she mocks Wes’ accusation of immaturity via confessional. Wes continues to grasp at straws by saying she’s always talking about her horse and Abe, and CM tells us he looks like the biggest idiot in the house right now.
CM, that’s completely unfair. Wes almost always looks like the biggest idiot wherever he is.
CM tells Wes that he doesn’t know her, so his opinions mean nothing to her. To be fair, they probably don’t mean much to people who do know him either. She brings up the cola incident and he tries to interrupt, but she yells at him to listen to her which causes Kenny to go hilariously wide-eyed. She says she doesn’t get how he can be cruel and make judgements about someone he doesn’t know, and he poured an entire 2 liter bottle of cola on her head, and he’s calling her immature? Wes: “… yes.” CM thanks him for the conversation and says she’s at peace with this and will happily ignore him, and leaves the room.
…. *slow clap*
Beautifully done, CM. I knew you had a spine in there somewhere! I mean sure, calling Wes out for hypocrisy isn’t difficult, but it was still well done. Laurel is extremely proud of her as well, and CM says she would gladly pay a million dollars to never hear Wes speak again. She’ll need to win a few dozen Challenges to afford that, but I’m sure many people would chip in some money to never hear Wes speak again. Now CM wants to win the final to throw it in everyone’s faces.
We get some vomiting noises, and then learn from Paula that it’s the morning of the final. She feels fantastic, but she’s been listening to Tyler and Jenn throwing up all night. The medic checks them out and gives them some pills. Jenn claims that she didn’t “work this hard” to sit on the bench.
Someone needs to tell Jenn that she can take her version of “hard work” to a street corner or a gentlemen’s club to make plenty of money, and she’s guaranteed to get paid! She doesn’t even need to win a race!
Johnny looks on, looking exhausted, as the medic tells Tyler he’s not medically sound to compete. Tyler says he’s earned his spot in the final and this is a “worst-case scenario.” He decides to compete anyway, saying it’s “one of the stupidest things” he’s ever done, but he’s got to do it for his BFFL Bananas.
Mandi tells Jenn she can stop and puke as much as she wants, and Jenn says the puke will come whether she wants it to or not. Mandi tells us she’s trying to keep Jenn’s spirits up, but she’s not looking too good and she had better be able to compete today. Oh please, Jenn and Mandi were going to come in 3rd place anyway, the only thing this will do is put them in a more distance 3rd. (Hopefully I don’t end up eating my words, but does anyone think they WON’T come in 3rd?) Tyler being sick throws more of a wrench into things, since he and Johnny are a really strong team.
Wes and Kenny stretch out while Kenny tries to give some commentary. He tells us he’s worried about Wes since Wes crapped out on Fresh Meat II and got yelled at by Mandi. Wes tells us the only thing they agree on is first place, so this is the time to put their differences aside. They really do have one of the more legitimate “rivalries” of all of the teams.
Just in case you wanted to see some of the pretty scenery for yourself, but don’t get free trips to places all over the world for being an asshole.
Final time! Everyone gathers as TJ reminds them that the first place team for each gender will win $100,000, the second place team for each gender will win $50,000, and the third place team for each gender will win nothing.
Shockingly, Teej says the final is “no joke.” When is it ever a joke? They will start out being dragged underwater by a boat for 200 yards, or as much of that as they can hold their breath for. Then they swim to a kayak and paddle for three miles. Bananas says that if this is how the challenge starts, “it’s only going to get more sadistic and evil.”
Evil, you say? Takes one to know one, ya dumb bitch.
After that, it will be a footrace with different check points and puzzles. Teej guarantees that this is the hardest race he’s ever seen. He says the girls will be starting first. As they’re getting ready, Jenn says this is the most absurd thing she’s ever done in her life since she can barely stand up without puking.
Paula says she and Ev are confident, and Ev says they want to get a lead from the get-go, which starts with the kayaks. I must say, I’m really looking forward to this. Ev and Laurel are both insanely tough and competitive, and Paula and CM are at least decent. I think it’s going to be a good race between them. Laurel is worried about CM, but at least knows she won’t quit.
And they’re off! CM is the first to run out of breath and let go, followed by Jenn/Mandi and Ev/Paula, leaving Laurel as the last woman standing. They all reach their kayaks and start paddling.
Gee, who saw this coming? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
Jenn and Mandi are hopelessly paddling in circles, much to the delight of the guys. Bananas tells them they’re not going to get anywhere going in circles, and Kenny wisecracks to us that they might start a whirlpool. Paula and Ev start out with a lead but Laurel and Cara Maria manage to close the gap… while Mandi and Jenn finally appear to be moving in the correct direction. Mandi says she has no idea what’s happening, but she does know they look like absolute idiots. Because they normally look like Rhodes scholars?
Anyway, they finally get moving in the right direction, and TJ says it’s time for the guys to start. Tyler claims he wouldn’t be competing if it were just him, but his inexplicable love for Johnny Bananas means he has to. Wes says at the end of this he might call Kenny his friend, and Kenny agrees. Leroy says he thinks they deserve to be there, and if they win it will shut everybody up. MikeMike smiles and nods in agreement. Can you guess who I’m rooting for? If not, you’re clearly new here, so welcome. Sadly, nothing will shut those fools up, but MikeRoy winning would certainly make many viewers happy.
Ladies and Gentlegasmii, may I present to you: Team Awesome! They’re certainly my Dream Team.
And they’re off! Leroy is the first guy to run out of breath and let go, followed by MikeMike, Kenny, Wes, and Tyler. Tyler tells us something snaps and his adrenaline is kicking in. MikeRoy have some trouble figuring out the kayak, although thankfully not as much as Jenn and Mandi.
Paula and Ev have reached the end of the kayak portion, but Laurel and Cara Maria are very close behind. They’re both changing their clothes at the same time. Jenn and Mandi arrive some time after, and Jenn looks like walking Jello already.
MikeMike is delighted that they have finally figured out the kayak and thinks they can make up some time. Tyler says it’s going to be a dogfight all the way to the end. Kenny and Wes are now spinning in circles, and Wes doesn’t know what the problems is.
But we do! Thanks, Bunim-Murray! I love it when Kenny and Wes just dissolve into a comedy of errors.
Jenn is still feeling really sick and doesn’t know if she can pull it together to finish the race. Mandi says if this is just the beginning of the race, she doesn’t think she even wants to know what comes next. Spoken like a true challenger in her first final.
Next week: The finale, for real this time! Crying, screaming, hunger, Wes sucking at life! Yay!
Ugh, that elimination round was so difficult to watch! According to twitter, Adam feels really bad about losing that for CT, so perhaps they’ve made some progress. And how great was that smackdown Cara Maria gave to Wes?! Finally, she stuck up for herself instead of crying, I have so much more respect for her now. Do you think Jenn and Tyler will be able to finish the final? I think Jenn and Mandi were always going to lose, but Tyler being sick could make things interesting. I would have picked Johnny/Tyler for the win, since they’ll probably be better at puzzles than Kenny/Wes and are more experienced than MikeRoy, but now I’m not so sure.
Obviously I’m rooting for MikeRoy, but as much as I hate to say it I do doubt their chances. I must say I find myself also rooting for Laurel and Cara Maria, although Ev is awesome enough to offset when Paula is stupid. Plus, there is a possibility that we can FINALLY stop listening to Paula tell us how many times she’s lost these things. Who do you guys think will win, and who are you rooting for?

Man, I never cried watching this show before but for the first time, the site of CT walking away made me sad (normally, it’s an opposite reaction *raises eyebrow as if to go SAAAAY WHAAAAT). I think TJ half-hearted congratulations spoke volumes – you lucked out … BIG TIME ya dumb bitch. I wish it could have been you could physically snatch the ball from someone etc or sit on them so they could not move. Although I did rewind CT crashing into Superbackpack and his faithful sidekick Show Tunes.
I could nothing but laugh when they were making fun of Laurel for wearing a CT shirt. But Kenny is still hot and by default I only have to spend one episode drooling over him now that CT is gone …
MP theme song of the week – Boyz II Men So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday … And I’ll taaaakkkeee with me your jeeerrssseeeee to be my sunshine after the raaaaaiiinnn it’s so hard to say goodbye to CEEEE TEEEEEEE
@VirginiaApple, have you thought about recapping either the Reunion or the Shit They Should Have Shown? I’ve noticed in the past that you always stop after the last real episode. It would be awesome if you did one or both
After this episode I am officially a member of the MP again…CT was amazing! He was so gracious in losing…hell I would have been throwing a hissy fit if I were in his situation and he just took it all in stride. Didn’t even blame Adam at all, when it was clearly his fault. I was so sad to see them go though!
I agree that CM was a huge ball of awesome this episode. LOVED her making fun of Mandi screwing Wes and standing up against Wes. She made him look like a total fool!
And I’m not going to lie, I was so glad to see Jenn get sick. Although now she can blame her 3rd place finish on illness, instead of just accepting that she sucks. So I guess I wish she didn’t get sick after all.
And, I’m totally hoping that Tyler’s sickness gets to him at some point, allowing Team Awesome (MikeRoy) to catch up and at least get second. I wouldn’t normally wish illness on anyone, but for MikeRoy I just have to do it!
I’m sorry but CT’s “Choo choo” before they started was the best.
Faye, your comments never fail to crack me up.
And jerseyj, I’m definitely going to recap the reunion. The first season I recapped here was Real World DC, and by the end of the season everyone had lost so much interest that I didn’t do the reunion, so I just never really recapped them. But clearly, people are very much interested in this season. Like I said, I’ll definitely do the reunion, and if you guys want I’ll do the Shit They Should Have Shown also. As for everything else you said, completely agreed.
jsacks4, can’t believe I missed that!
I turned away as soon as I realized that CT and Adam lost. I decided that Snapped was a better option.
I hope Wes peters out again and has to eat a big ol’ slice of humble pie. Fat chance, huh? Mikeroy FTW all day!
Does anybody else think it’s entirely possible that Mandi/Jenn do come in at least second, since she showed up to the Aftershow with new Barbie boobies?? Gag me. And dye your roots before you come, thanks. I can’t stand her. And no, it sure as shit isn’t jealousy. I’d hate to look like her or have her personality or hook up with a pasty douchehole. Just her associaton with Wes is reason enough for me not to root for her.
I honestly don’t care if Walnuts ever wins a challenge, I think it would be way more hilarious if she just kept on doing them well into her 40s a la Mark or Syrus. I do like Ev, but she won money on the Island so I won’t feel too bad if she doesn’t win here. But if they do, I will be happy for them. Really pulling for CM/Laurel, since they both have redeemed themselves (in my opinion) this season.
Awesome cap as always, VA–ya dumb bitch! Keep trimmin’ the collective challenge fat for us!
@Faye, I have to admit I ALMOST teared up too seeing the look on Adam’s face and knowing he lost it for them. That’s gotta be a bad feeling. Loved how CT handled it. Seems like since his brother’s murder he has really tried hard to change the violent behavior he is conditioned to have a knee-jerk reaction for. I hope people can eventually give him the benefit of the doubt and maybe even be friends, even if it is just a challenge friendship and they avoid him like the plague in real life. I get it. Doubt it, though. He’s so strong and wins so often that as long as the 3DoucheMafia are in power, CT will be seen as a threat and targeted the entire season. Yawn.
VirginiaApple between you and CT I don’t think I have ever enjoyed a challenge this much. This is my #3 favorite with #1 of course being the Great Backpack incident of 2011 and the Free Big Easy incident of ’09. It never gets old.
I believe CT has changed, he’s hotter and wiser but sadly, unless it’s an entire team going for money, he shall forever be the target. It upsets me that this is the 3rd time it’s someone elses fault he did not win (1. BS disqualification on Duel I giving Wes the win, Free Big Easy incident, and now this) Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know the anti CT brigade will remind me that he has gotten sent packing on his own accord plenty of times but my selective memory reserved for the super hot does not allow me to take such trivia historical facts into account.
I also hate to admit but I remain impressed that Kenny and Evan has basically taken over the minds of everyone on RR/RW and no one except for Ev (who I just don’t like) and Wes (who looks too much like a cabbage patch kid to be taken serioulsy) ever bothers to challenge them unless of course it directly benefits them. Again, see Ev and Wes.
Before I comment on this epi-recap I would just like to ask WTF was up with Laurel and CM’s hair on the after show?
It looked like they were waiting by the Enuff Z’Nuff tour bus outside the Hampton Beach Casino ballroom circa 1986.
2 “Friends” references in 2 weeks? VA, I think I’m in love with you! And Kenny. *sigh* he did look really hot when they went out, didn’t he?
Great recap VA! Can’t wait for the finale. I too was proud of CM and how she handled Wes. Can’t wait until Wes is on his own and everyone hates HIM again. I hope he really does suck and they are not just trying to tease us.
Go Team Awesome!
“I smell a new fall line of Johnny Backpacks with matching Tyler duffel bags!”
Fricking recap gold! Thank you for enduring this incredibly boring season, and this episode which PISSED me off to the max! Was finally able to talk my boy into watching another episode with me with the lure of it be final and all competition (hes a big ol jock) and then this. I was pissed. At about 30 mins in I realized the final challenge wasnt gonna happen and ended up ffwing through it all til it started and teased us, sounds like I missed nothing!
I am just going to admit that this season had made me fall far more in love with Kenny, he has been so vulnerable, I guess I like my men a bit wounded. He has been way nicer it seems though, maybe he really is growing up! God he is soooo hot, its ridiculous!
I cant believe it but I was sad Adam and CT lost, I feel like it was set up and I really wanted CT to win as I feel like he deserved it. I love Kenny but due to Wes do not want them to get first place so I am team MikeRoy alllllll the way! ‘
I didnt comment on this recap, but the episode where Paula plays bully to the poor CM and cant take it when Laurel defends her only made me hate her more so I cant root for her and Ev, even though I loooooove Ev. I have always liked Laurel despite her major personality dysfunctions so I am rooting for her and CM, I feel they earned it. I only feel that Ev has earned it on that team, lets be real, Paula would be long gone without her. And I have slowly come to hate Jen, and never liked Mandy so obviously wanting them to lose, which shouldnt be too hard.
Thanks so much for all the recaps this season, I have been too busy to comment much lately but have enjoyed them none the less, I will suffer through the RR and am thankful to have your recaps to get me through that boring non challenge time…
Looks like Heidi found her very own Spencer Pratt.
I always giggle a little when I think that Wes was once “engaged” to Johanna. Hehe.
After the CT/Adam loss, I find no interest in watching….my only wish is that Sammi unleash Ronnie & his ‘roid rage on Wes & Johnny.
Over the past few weeks I’ve found Laurel so much hotter. She was especially looking good this week and the shot of her butt in those shorts walking up stairs to give CT the fruit was very nice so thanks MTV.
I am rooting so hard to MikeRoy in the final, especially since CT and Adam are gone, but I feel like I’m only going to be disappointed. I feel more confident in rooting for Laurel and CM as I think Paula will only drag down Ev.
Ugh, that was a hard Jungle loss to watch. CT, I’ll miss staring at your hotness for the next…ONE episode? Well, still…that’s one less hour that I’ll get to leer.
Anyway, Faye, I couldn’t love you more, minus the Kenny love. I have always disliked him, even when he wasn’t jedi-mindtricking everyone into voting his way (with the help of his idiot friends, of course). And VA…ya dumb bitch! This has been such a good season because of your recaps! Love.
I just know that Jenn and Mandi will come in last and Jenn will totally blame it on the food poisoning even though the slut would have taken last place no matter what. At least she’ll still get nothing!
And to conclude, Wes is the most vile creature ever created. It would be so great to see him finish last, but I’m afraid that Leroy and Mike will be losing to him
“Just in case you wanted to see some of the pretty scenery for yourself, but don’t get free trips to places all over the world for being an asshole.”
Your captions are just fabulous VA!!!!
The MPHQ would like to sound the horn of sadness. Can we all take a moment to bow our heads as the horn sounds as a sign of respect for Team CT leaving the building:
http://www.sadtrombone.com/
“The MPHQ would like to say, although we have lost one of our own today to the darkside we still remain strong in numbers and in our hearts we will never forget the newer, stronger, more humane CT we all came to drool over in our mind and our hearts.”
Now, Ya dumb bitches… GO TEAM MIKEROY!
Thank you VA, you’ve made this long, strange trip a great one!
@Yummy, please forgive me for the Kenny love. I have to focus on something and he is the only hot thing left. I love MikeMike and LeRoy but they bring the adorableness. The kind you want to hook up with your little sister. Kenny brings the hotness. The kind you sleep with, brag about and then feel utter humiliation and shame when a few days later at a party in front of your friends you bragged to, he calls you Emma and you have say “it’s Faye”.
@MPHQ – We will always have the recaps *it’s sooooo hard to say good bye to CEEEEE TEEEEEE*
In honor of our fallen hero:
CT is so hot – CT daddy must have been a terriost because he is the bomb
CT must bath in Windex because I can see myself in his pants
CT momma must be a baker because he has a nice set of buns
Hey MPHQ, nice Grateful Dead reference, we are everywhere
When CT leveled those tools, man that was – without a doubt – the highlight of entertainment delivered by MTV. I barely like CT, but Bananas is such a super-massive blackhole of all that is douche that he sucked whatever goodness there was in Tyler out this season.
The only silver lining to their losing was seeing CT take it like a champ.
I kind of have a thing for Laurel, but if a meteor hit the finale and spared only Leroy and Mike the world would be a better place.
Man Wes is a Dick
I didn’t hear any part of the rules of the last Jungle that said that one team member couldn’t maliciously pound the crap out of Tyler or drag Johnny away from the goal while Adam finished up moving his balls. I would have loved to have seen CT just pummel the shit out of that asshole Johnny (I refuse to call him Bananas die to his latest act of douchery against Entourage) while Adam ran circles around him. At least, you know, to make up the time that he lost by moving the wrong balls!! I normally don’t condone violence, but man did I LOVE to see CT hit those two so hard and at the same time. Other than Leroy scaling that rope in the final challenge, I believe that hit was the highlight of the season. I normally like Tyler, but this season, after finding out how close he is with Paula and Jenn…Ew. Just Ew.
I just want beautiful Kenny to win some money.
Oh so much to say*:
@ Faye w/o a doubt you are HILARIOUS, “Kenny is the only hot THING left.” I love the objectification. It’s only fair, ya dumb bitch!
And love the Boyz II Men mental montage…classic.
@Flybsbgirl- we are, aren’t we
@someguy-That really sums it all up for us here at MPHQ and we thank you!
CT definitely took the loss like a champ. We at the MPHQ hope to see him again on another challenge ideally, with voter participation. It could be like the great Miracle Whip debate.
To CT or not to CT, that is the question. (How’s that for a literary reference VA?)
*In reference to the mention of pics of CT, CM his GF, Chris Angel and a creepy dude feel free to view CM’s Facebook page it’s open to the public as are the pictures and she does encourage her fans to view her page/photos. This is the best workaround we can manage. We report she has in fact moved from LA to Boston. *Notable-No sign of Abram…at all.
@MPHQ – CM was on the last Katie Doyle RTVZone thing and she said that she and Abram weren’t really together anymore. Sounded like he kind of blew her off.
@VA – so glad you will be recapping the reunion. I don’t know about everyone else, but my vote is for you to do the Shit They Should Have Shown too
Heck, that’s always the best show of the season! I never understand WHY they didn’t show half of the stuff in those clips…it’s usually way more entertaining than the actually physical challlenge stuff!
@ Jerseyj, thanks for the update! On her page there are pics of her with Abram driving cross country. I’m thinking he didn’t like the rough crowd in Beantown…
Can you attach that link again so we can watch? Thanks!
classy drunk: I don’t know what Snapped is, but the only other good part of the episode was watching Cara Maria make Wes look like the idiot he is.
iamrufus: I saw a preview of Kenny having to carry Wes. It looked like he might have hurt himself. Mandi is an idiot, and I start off every season liking Paula but by the end she manages to piss me off. This time it was, of course, when she ganged up on CM and then cried when Laurel gave her a taste of her own medicine. And I agree with you about CT, he seems far more self-aware and like he wants to change. Although, for the record, he has never won a Challenge season, which is insane to me.
Faye: The comments this season have made it the best time I’ve had while recapping for the ‘gasm. Just plain awesome. As I just said, I can’t believe CT has never won a Challenge. As for Kenny and Evan, even those who hate them have to admit their vice grip on everyone is impressive.
Gypsy: HA! I do not know what they were going for, but I do know it was 25 years too late.
Meow: I used to be OBSESSED with Friends, especially the first few seasons. And yeah, Kenny is just plain hot.
kdognatl: Wes is a ridiculous excuse for a human being, but at least he’s fun to hate. And Kenny is going to look hot carrying him like a sack of potatoes.
flybsbgirl: I haven’t even noticed that this season was boring because these comments have been so friggen entertaining. And even when she was at her bitchiest, Laurel has never bothered me as much as she’s bothered a lot of other people. Plus, she’s gotten much better this season. For me, the awesomeness of the remaining girls ranks: Ev *gap* Laurel/CM *very large gap* Paula/Jenn/Mandi. As for everything else you said, totally agree. And I swear Kenny keeps getting hotter.
sardini: Mandi does look more and more like Heidi, especially now that she’s getting plastic surgery. And Johanna is so far out of Wes’ league, it’s crazy. I loved that season (The Ruins I think?) when she forced him to admit that they were never technically engaged.
Mrngstar: Oh please, CT is SO MUCH MORE BADASS than than pussy Ronnie. CT would never cry on national television because he was so hormonal, plus he ACTUALLY WORKS OUT instead of depending so much on steroids. Sorry, I just fucking hate watching Ronnie and Sammi together.
Ed: I actually think Laurel is really pretty, I read somewhere that she used to be a model. And I totally agree with who you’re rooting for.
yummy: Agreed with everything you said except for Kenny. I have a love/hate relationship… in that I hate myself for loving him.
MPHQ: Thank you for all of the work you do. It is important that you raise awareness and give us CT loves a place to come together.
Faye: I love MikeRoy, but Kenny is damn good eye candy. Also, CT is so hot he melted Laurel’s stone cold heart.
ThereBeNoShelterHere: Well said, everything. I watched CT lay them out a few times.
someguy: Yup.
Flippy Floppy: They didn’t mention those rules, but I’m assuming that was the case, otherwise they’d still be there wrestling each other to the ground. And yeah, that Entourage thing was total bullshit, but I’m in the habit of calling him Bananas and it’s hard to break.
Lisa: Don’t worry, Kenny has won plenty of money on these things, and he will probably win plenty more.
MPHQ: I approve of your literary reference. And thanks for the info!
jerseyj: Thanks for your info too. I never have time for the podcasts so I love hearing the scoop. And I think I can manage TSTSHS also.
@ThereBeNoShelterHere-awesome Handle btw!
Ok everyone, I am going to say for reasons I am too dignified to disclose, I am going to say my hatred for Bananas supersedes my hatred of Wes. Wes maybe a complete imbecile but Bananas’ blatant hatred and disrespect for women is downright wrong. CT bias aside (and I think someone commented something about this last week) if I could ever picture someone in the Doosh Trio, or any cast member being abusive to a girl it would be Bananas. He is just efn gross.
@sardini- totally forgot about them being engaged! I could see Johanna taking Wes out!
Thanks for the amazing recaps VA! Everything from the MP mentions to the screen caps to the cleverly planted references and everything else-it was great…YA DUMB BITCH!
FYI VA per the wikipedia page — “The series features non-fiction narratives of individuals, often women, who have committed murder or attempted murder. Often the target is the individual’s spouse.”
These ladies are the true definition of cray cray.
Gypsy: That’s why Johnny is the least redeemable member of the Douche Trio to me. Evan and Kenny can be assholes, but they’re far more self-aware (I think they’re playing for the cameras more than Johnny), and even though they do tease the girls they don’t seem to have the same level of contempt for all females that Bananas has shown. For example, putting the swan in Mandi’s bed was stupid, but harmless. Meanwhile, even though Mandi’s drunken rambling at Evan was pretty funny, Johnny mocking her the way he did was excessive. And that’s not to mention the fact that he’s consistently tried to get rid of every girl who has ever been on a team with him, and he was the ringleader in screwing Paula over on the Island. Glad you enjoyed the recap!
classy drunk: Good lord. And we thought the people on the Challenge were insane.
@MPHQ: The link is http://rtvzone.com/VIDEO_RivalsRecap.php
It’s a week behind though…they are really bad at getting them up in a timely manner!
VA, AMEN!
Ok F/M/K time: The choices are: Bananas, Evan, Wes?
Thanks jerseyj, and thanks for the head’s up on the lag time. Not shocking with Katie and Robin (?) at the helm.
Appreciate it!
Why can’t CT just apologize to Adam, instead of trying to bully him into being his friend? I loved how CT tried to gloss over all the physical abuse he directed toward Adam over their history, saying it’s in the past and they should just be friends now. I know that people try and make amends to the people they hurt, but by the end of this season, CT was getting a bit too pathetic in his attempt to woo Adam. He should just apologize, give Adam his space, and let it go from there.
True story – a guy once stopped seeing me because he said I was was way too into SNAPPED and made too many jokes about “knowing how to get away with it”(at least that is the excuse he used). It comes on WETV now and those women make the girls on the challenges look like they are studying to be Nuns
I would rather eat a teaspoon of poo than kiss Johnny or Wes.
Speaking of Wes being the first human being prototype and then God decided he needed to start over – remember on Duel II when he kept saying he was going to win the money so Johanna could have her dream wedding?!?! The Kenny/Wes hatred started on the Island when Kenny and Johanna reacted that scene from the movie From Here to Eternity. That is another reason I like Kenny (and because he’s hot) Kenny actually looked out for Johanna when he was screwing her!! None of the other members of the douche trio even pretends to help you find your panties the next morning (see Johnny/Casey and Evan/Veronica)
@Gypsy- Fuck Wes. Marry Evan. Kill Myself.
@Faye. I make my husband watch the Snapped Reruns with me, just for good measure
Maybe I’ll go back and watch the episode now that I have calmed a bit. I was so crushed to see CT lose and to Johnny. BLECK! I felt bad for Adam based on what the recap said. He really seemed to take it to heart that he lost the challenge for CT.
I too have been given the side eye by men because of my love for Snapped.
@Flippy Floppy – Fuck Wes. Marry Evan. Kill Myself.
I hope when I request a new keyboard from IT they do not block this website.
Gypsy, I’ve actually given this some thought because, well, work is boring. I’d marry Evan because I swear I used to love him back when he was paired up with Coral on the first Fresh Meat, although it gets more and more difficult to remember why. And even if I couldn’t regain that love, at least I’d know to guard myself from his asshole tendencies, and I could throw the mental abuse back at him by threatening to leave him for getting fat. As for the other two, blech. My first instinct was to fuck Johnny and kill Wes because Wes it too goddamn repulsive to touch, but I think I should kill Johnny for womankind everywhere. Although if I do fuck Wes, can I kill him too?
Derek Hazelton, you make a good point. A simple apology would have gotten things off on the right foot, although I’m sure Adam would have been wary of it at first.
Oh hayyyyyyyyy everyone! Sorry, looks like I missed a bunch. I just listened/watched to that link from Jerseyj (thx BTW!) and I can honestly say, that is one hour of my life I will never get back. CM does gloss over Abram though…interesting. Also interesting and, revolting CM says CT smells bad. I could’ve lived a full life without hearing that.
I LOVE the F/M/K answers! @ FF- You rule the school for that one!
I guess I would have to say, *gag*, F-Wes (just pull out, pls) M-Evan (put him on a strict diet) and K-Bananas (so he can’t procreate-EVAR!)
Good stuff!
VA you should check out Snapped sometime, it’s on the same network as the BCG Club and it repeats on the weekends. I have a feeling someday we’ll see whoever the dumb bitch is that’s stupid enough to marry Bananas will have her own Snapped epi some day. LOL!
@VA I loved Evan from FMI as well. Now he is just a bitter old fat lady whose husband Kenny is still hot and people wonder what he is doing with her
Just to prove my life has no meaning. FMI provided my favorite Coral quote of all time. When asked why she would pick Evan, Coral responded “he out ran a black guy; that means something in my book” They were the LeRoy of MikeMike of their day. Misty watered colored memories of the way they were.
Faye now he can’t even run to catch the ice cream truck!
Ahhh, memories, thank you Faye. I forgot that quote, but it was awesome. Remember when Evan was a badass?
And Faye, Evan’s probably been driving an ice cream truck during his Challenge hiatus. And since he went home from this one empty-handed, he’ll have to go back to that now.
@ VA, I love Snapped. I think now that the Glee Project is over, Oxygen will go back to their weekly Sunday Snapped marathons.
Fuck Johnny.
Kill Wes.
Marry Evan.
I LOVE ice cream!
@Derek, I sure hope Oxygen goes back to the Sunday marathons. At least then I had a reason to be late to church. Albeit not a good one but at least I had one.
Sheesh- would love to hear your reasoning on the F&K decision, that was a tough one for me, I almost went that way too!
Apparently we’re all closet Snapped fans, hmmmmmm
Wes is too ugly for me to lay down with.
Nice! I just thought, paper bag over the head. Final Decision. I hate Bananas that much.
A woman from Atlanta got a heat rash on her firecrotch, and she took a sideways picture of it, scrawled a signature that looked like “Wes”, and tried to auction it off as an autographed picture on eBay.
eBay shut that shit down on a massive basis.
I’m not a Wes fan, but he does have two VERY funny moments in his show and challenge history:
#1: On his season, in Austin, they went on vacation and he pretended to be Prince Harry. Ha!
#2: In the first Fresh Meat, he told Evelyn (I believe) this gem of advice: “Don’t trust anyone you used to watch in middle school on The Real World!”
Gotta give him credit for some one-liners.
*throws up in my mouth a little first* F-Wes, M-Evan, K-Johnny (SNAPPED style! The kind that get you featured on Dateline or 48 hours)
Fuck Evan, Marry Wes, Kill Wes, Kill Bananas. I technically wouldnt have to fuck Wes if I married him, not sure I could handle that, I like pretty boys
but if I married him Id surely have to kill him, sorry…
You guys are awesome and make me feel way less silly for being so into this show. I had no idea that night in 8th or 9th grade when I sat down to watch the premier of the first Real World that it would evolve into what it is today nor that I would still be keeping up with it…
I agree that Kenny is the best of the DT, and Evan comes a close second while the other one is an island of his own douchiness. Bananas and Wes are running neck and neck these days. They both get enjoyment out of picking out the insecurities of super insecure weak girls and its just not a good look. I agree that Bananas is more likely to be abusive towards women than CT. He makes my skin crawl. I have rewatched some old challenges (yeah yeah, whatever, dont act like you havent!) and he and Wes are consistently just horrible awful people and Kenny is soooo much nicer now! I also think he plays it up for the camera and in real life is kinda a softy. Which make me love him more. Which makes me question my judgment, sigh…
VA I am only wishing that Wes be on the other end of a ‘roid rage. Don’t care for the Rammi drama either.
So I’m watching this episode again…do I have a gastro intestinal virus, or do Laurel and CT look alike?!
I wish that I could “like” peoples comments on here
I liked Evan on Deul II. If I remember right, I think he edged out Brad by a matter of seconds to win the final challenge. He was the underdog for sure and went in to enough challenges on that season to prove himself. (DRINK!)
He can also read. I think it was on whichever Gauntlet was after that, that he spend a lot of down time in his bunk reading, although none of the other douche trio were there. He may have been reading Eat, Pray, Love, but at least he can read! Then he married Kenny, turned in to a douche and got fat. But, I would marry him over the others based on his literacy alone.
F-Johnny, M-Evan and K-Wes(fuccing douchbag…..gosh I hate him). My heart shattered into 749 and a half pieces when CT had to go home, swear ‘fluid’ tried to escape my eyes. MikeRoy are the cutest ‘couple’ ever, I want to bake them cookies and tuck them in at night. As i mentioned in a previous post I miss Evan and Coral even though they wound up getting hurt over and over again, I loved their dynamic. Where did the REAL Evan go? Did Fat Evan eat him? Remember how awesome he use to be…sigh. I’m not sure now that I have read the recaps and I’m not sure if I want to be part of MP…CT stinks…ew. Until this season I didn’t like Laurel, but watching her DESTROYED Paula…what is not to love:). What is up with silent Ev?
I wish we had a like button too!
And Fly… I never ever ever thought I’d be commenting on a show made up of Real World, Road Rule and Randoms when I watched the first season of The Real World either. Its pretty incredible or sad or both! Still awesome though.
Faye- A la Snapped Style, WORD!
Sardini- gotta admit good point on the Wes Quotes, especially #2.
*Moli- you think you want out now, I got something even better…I have to attached it on the next re-cap but I am seriously considering handing in my card. Kid’s a doooosh after the you tube I saw of him recently…and yes, being smelly is EWWWWWW.
I’m a tad frightened of the attachment@Gypsy
@ Mo- pls, do not be afraid. It’s nothing violent or shows anyone being hurt. If anything, it shows how delusional CT is of his perceived A list status. I would never promote or post anything that was violent or hurtful.
He clearly thinks he is among the ranks of Pitt, Clooney, Gyllenhaal, Gosling, DeCaprio, Bieber (kidding)…I would attached it now but my company firewall’s the “tube” and, I think it might be more relevant after the reunion, depending on how that sh- show plays out.
VA- Do you happen to know when this show wrapped? Was it earlier this year?
I’ll have to try to catch Snapped sometime… although it sounds a bit disturbing.
sardini, those are some good moments. Maybe there was a time when Wes didn’t suck quite so much? It’s such a distant memory I can’t even dig it up. And I can’t say I’ve ever thought CT and Laurel look alike.
flybsbgirl, I love that there are so many people here who still love to talk about these shows. And you’re dead on about the Douches.
Flippy Floppy and Moli, thanks for the trip down Awesome Evan Memory Lane… those were the days… sigh.
Gypsy, looking forward to watching that video (my company blocks the ‘tube also). Recap should be up by tomorrow. And I’m guessing the show wrapped sometime in the spring. MikeRoy were in the Vegas suite until sometime in December, so assuming they didn’t go into production until after the holidays, the earliest they would have started filming this season is January of ’11.
Interesting how practically everyone agreed they’d marry Evan over Johnny and Wes… although not really surprising.
VA- Thanks for the Info. I was thinking it had to be earlier this year b/c its summer in the southern hemisphere during our winter months no (Argentina being warm & sunny)? The time line makes sense also for the end of RW Vegas.
Once I post/comment on the video it will make more sense, thanks for the head’s up, you’re the best! So it’s only been a few months since this whole thing started and finished…fame is a hell of a drug.
I totally agree about the FMK, we’re all about the same…I love the ones with the twists like: K-myself! And M-Bananas then divorce because you don’t technically have to sleep with him. Brilliant!
Didnt watch it last night(watched T&T…don’t judge me), but I just did on lunch. Holy Throw up Batman!
Holy throw up is right Moli! I cant wait to discuss~
On Laurel and CT looking alike – I think it’s the common furrowed eyebrows and something in the mouth. Can’t quite describe it.
Yes, yes YES to recapping Reunion and Shit They Should Have Shown!!! You have done an awesome job Virginia Apple. Your last screen shot of Mikemike and Leroy made me think….it would be too much to hope for but….wouldn’t they be awesome on The Amazing Race??!
@Sarlynn…I thought the same thing watching part 2 of the finale!!!!!
@sardini….I think you are right
@flybsbgirl…..with baited breath
Can I just slip in one comment, even MikeRoy puking was cute in a gross but awwwww kinda way.
Dammit@Gypsy……Its so sad how the love blinds us to the fact that puking of any kind is gross. All I wanted to do was wipe the dribble and rub their backs.
MOLI! Ahhhhhhhhahahahahhahahahaha! You are so right! I am dying!!!!
If that were anyone else I would have run to the bathroom to puke myself! I kept thiking Tosh.0 could fill an entire episode with those clips.
@VA and Gypsy – I was in Costa Rica on vacation in February and actually saw all of the teams that made it to Argentina at the airport. Embarrassingly, I recognized Johnny Bananas first and spent a really long time trying to figure out where I knew him from, as it didn’t immediately click that he was TV-familiar instead of life-familiar…until I saw the others and realized that they were all MTV people. That was the day I flew home, which was 2/25. So I would guess that they finished filming no later than the first week of March.
Seriousssssssssss trolling Miss Piggy. I got you. Trust.
Man, I am really late to the Challenge party this week.
My hate for Wes has lasted the whole season, and season’s before that. I pray no one in his family gets killed, so I don’t start to like him.
I wonder if anyone else (besides us lovely commenters and Zito) call Mike “MikeMike?” If I ever meet him, I am going to call him that and tell him that him and RL have the best bromance ever. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!!!!
I will donate 20.00 to the “Shut the fuck up, Wes” fund. Can we please get a break from him?! DON’T ASK HIM TO COMPETE IN THE NEXT CHALLENGE…PLEASE! I would like to see Noor, Big Easy, and Jemmeh. Make it happen, MTV.
VA, you are the shiz. All of your recaps are awesome!!
So sad to see CT/Adam go, but so happy to CT handle himself like a nice human being.
