Last week, The Duel aired on Thanksgiving, which meant that instead of recapping it, I was with my family, enjoying pumpkin pie, and being thankful for various whatevers in life. Actually, to be honest, I had a stomach bug and wound up barfing into a toilet on Thanksgiving, but that’s neither here nor there. Point is that I felt it was important that I not spend Thanksgiving with our favorite group of drunkards and crybabies, and that was a good choice because had I spent last Thursday watching The Real World/Road Rules Challenge, I surely would have been too angry at the outcome to have enjoyed this national holiday. Luckily, there’s karma in the MTV universe, and while last week’s episode was nothing short of outrageous, at least we had divine justice on tonight’s Duel. It was basically a win-win situation for the viewers, and that’s all we can really ask for.Anyhoo, let’s do a little housekeeping. If you missed last week, you didn’t miss too much. There was the joy of hearing TJ Lavin say “Rafty Race,” and of course, there was the moment when Derrick and Kina both were disqualified for not paying attention to the simplest rule, thus maintaining my belief that the two of them may just be the dumbest people on MTV. But the big story that came out of last week was that Svetlana was picked to go into the Duel, and for whatever reason, she decided to challenge Beth, her own ally (I think the choice stemmed back to some fight at the beginning of the episode that my Tivo cut off). Well, the two girls met in the Duel for an event called “Push Me” where they both had to, you guessed it, push a rotating beam in opposite directions. The first girl to reach this one flag and unclip it would win. Well, Beth easily reached the flag, but she tore it off instead of unclipping it (even though she did unclip the carabiner seconds later). Anyway, this resulted in a DQ, and just like that, the most interesting cast member was unceremoniously booted from the game. Sigh.
This week’s show started with Wes fearing that he might be the next guy to go into the Duel, but in an effort to save himself, he was gonna try to manipulate his way out of it. Of course, we knew that wouldn’t happen because a) Wes is an idiot. He couldn’t manipulate himself out of anything. And b) MTV’s been showing promos all week long that clearly display Wes going into the Duel. Nevertheless, Wes informed us that he really wanted to ask Johanna to marry him so they could start a life together. “That $150,000 is a big ring and a fancy wedding and the start of my life. So this means a lot more to me than to just set up a bank account,” he told us. Of course, if he were to splurge all that money on a big ring and a fancy wedding instead of putting it in a bank account, he’s a bigger idiot than I ever would have thought.
The next day, Derrick told Jodi that he really wanted to win one of these challenges, especially seeing how this is his fifth one. As we all know, he has a tremendous track record of being eliminated just before the final challenge, and I could only hope the tradition would uphold itself once again. Ha. Derrick sucks.
Speaking of sucking, we then went over to MTV’s van of love where CT was questioning Diem about her birthday, which just so happened to be that day. He announced that he’d be giving her a cake in his birthday suit, but don’t get too excited, ladies. He was just making a wicked good joke.
“Help me, Diem. I’m wicked stuck between the seats.”
The gang then all headed over to TJ Lavin, who announced that they were standing amidst sand dunes. For no real reason, this caused everyone to clap. I guess they do that every time they arrive at a challenge, but it still doesn’t make sense. It’s not like showing up at a golf course or marina inherently deserves an ovation. Anyway, TJ announced the title of this week’s event: “Pole Dance.” This led to general snickering — because it is that funny — and then TJ told us the rules. Basically, the group would be split into two teams, each with three guys and three girls. Each team would have to find a way to climb a greasy pole and retrieve a flag atop it. First team to yank the flag down would advance to the next leg. For part two of the event, the winning team members would then compete against each other in a footrace across the beach and through some dunes, culminating in a tricky trek up a slippery slope. Yes, the producers had lain out two huge, greased up tarps that were sure to cause problems. First man to the top of the dune would win immunity. First girl would win… a sound system. Yay! Svetlana then came on screen to say how normally she’d want the prize, but since it was Diem’s birthday, she’d be just as happy if Diem won. How lovely. Let’s now take a moment to stare at Svetlana’s awful fake tribal tattoo. Memo to women across the world: never get that done for real.
After the commercial break, the two teams (which were picked earlier) attacked the first leg of the competition. There was lots of mounting and pushing and groaning, all peppered with various commentary about just how icky and gross those greased up poles were. Eventually, CT’s team won, which meant CT, Evan, Wes, Robin, Diem, and Svetty were advancing.
For the second leg, Wes shot out to an early lead while Diem fell behind, thanks to a bothersome knee. Kina told us that she didn’t want Svetlana to win because it would ruin “the selection process.” She then added, “But then again, as long as it doesn’t affect my shake and bake tan, I’ll be fine.”
Anyway, the men reached the slippery slope first, and immediately, CT complained in stereotypical Boston-ese, “It’s wicked hahd getting up this tahhp. It’s wicked slippery!” I kid you not, I thought he said “Top,” but luckily he repeated the word so often that I realized he was merely saying “tarp.” Well, wicked slippery tahp be damned. Evan realized that if he stabbed the tarp with his toes, he could gain a footing, and as a result, he scampered quickly up to the top where he won immunity from the Duel.
The girls reached the tarps soon after, and they too discovered that they were wicked haaahd to climb. Diem seemed to take the lead, but like a gooey game of chutes and ladders, she wound up sliding all the way back down to the bottom. Eventually, she realized that if she followed in Evan’s footsteps, she might be able to gain more traction. Sure enough, his toe indentations were still there, and she was able to use them to propel herself onwards and upwards, taking first place for the women and earning a new car stereo for her birthday. Every girl’s dream!
Well, at long last, it was time for the Duel selection process. Evan picked Diem, who picked CT, who picked Kina, who picked Derrick, who picked Jodi, who picked Eric. That left just Brad and Wes as the final two guys, and for whatever reason, Wes told the remaining girls that they should just pick Brad and send Wes into the Duel. Way to manipulate your way out of that one! Grade A scheming! Even more amusing was that Wes preceded his instructions by saying, “I’ll make it easy on you guys.” I liked his assumption that the girls were even contemplating picking him in the first place.
Sure enough, Eric picked Robin, who in turn picked Brad (as if she wouldn’t do that anyway), which meant that Wes was officially going into the Duel. But who would he pick?
The lucky bastard going into the Duel was… Derrick! Hahaha. YES. Honestly, how could we lose? It’s a battle of the tools! To Wes’s credit though, he’s much more tolerable this season (even though he does suck), unlike Derrick who continues to be frustratingly annoying. Well, Wes explained his choice patronizingly, saying he picked Der-Der “Just to see who’s the best at this.”
“I would not want it any other way,” Derrick answered, adding, “Well, I mean, if vodka could be involved, I’d prefer that.” Nevertheless, Derrick stepped up to the plate wearing his Towel of Gravitas, as usual, and then Wes plucked a card from TJ’s hands. Well, he didn’t really pluck as much as he merely poked. Either way, tonight’s Duel event was none other than Pole Wrestle (something both guys are probably fairly well-acquainted with). For once, this looked like it would be a good showdown. Would the scrappy Derrick persevere? Or would the bulky Wes win out? Either way, I was massively disturbed that I found myself quietly hoping that Wes would win. I need to vomit.
For his sake, Derrick was fairly confident that he could win (always a bad sign). He told us, “I’ve been practicing.” Huh? How do you practice pole wrestling? I can just imagine Derrick tussling around in his backyard with a stick. Svetlana, meanwhile, was rooting for Wes. “If we slowly, one-by-one pick apart these veterans,” she said, “we have an incredible chance at winning.” Yeah, maybe you should have thought about that BEFORE you challenged Beth to a Duel. It’s a lot easier taking out big alliances if you don’t, you know, take out your own first.
Right before the Duel started, Wes did get a little cocky, saying that yeah, Derrick had a history of beating bigger guys, but “I have a history of never losing.” Clearly Wes didn’t realize that wrestling with a stick was significantly different than, you know, running around Australia with a few sacks and a flag. Anyway, as you can imagine, Derrick and Wes went to town in the Duel. The guys wrestled and wrestled and wrestled and wrestled. For his part, Derrick seemed to get off his knees quite a bit, going so far as to actually stand up on his feet at times. Clearly the DQ Nazis that took out Beth last week were on vacation this time around.
I had to admit that this all was pretty exciting. I genuinely had no idea how it would all shake up. At one point, CT commented that Derrick seemed to be running out of juice, which was clearly misdirection. I guess that meant Wes would be losing. Or would it? Turns out it wasn’t misdirection at all. After what seemed like an eternity, Wes finally yanked the pole right out of Derrick’s hands, causing the girls to react with shocked gasps. C’mon now. It’s not like Wes had shot him in the face. Nevertheless, Derrick lay on his back overdramatically, soaking in his loss, and never one to be out-over-dramafied, Wes lay down next to him, stunned in victory. Afterwards, Wes said he had all the respect in the world for Derrick — he even wanted him to be the godfather of his kids. Great! Remind me to never go to this family reunion EVER.
“I got to hand it to you, Derrick. That was some amazing sex.”
Well, the guys both got on their feet, and TJ congratulated them for putting on the most intense “limnilation” round ever. Kina then asked us, “Will this poor boy ever win a challenge?” Hopefully not! Hahaha. Sucker. She then complained, “It just sucks that my support system is gone.” It sucks? I think it’s AWESOME.
As for Derrick, losing for the fifth fruitless time turned out to be a major milestone for him. “I’m gonna go home and reevaluate what I want to do with my life,” he said, improperly using the word “reevaluate” in the process (the word implies that he ever evaluated what he wanted to do with his life in the first place). Of course, I’m sure Derrick’s big reevaluation will probably be, “I think I’ll have vodka with breakfast now, not just beer.”
The episode then came to a close on a bizarre, teary-eyed note as Wes called Johanna to inform her that he’d won the Duel. He then began complaining about how much he was hurting and how hard it was, and for whatever reason, he just began to bawl. He wept that he missed her and “I want to marry you so bad!” Yeah yeah yeah. Be a man. SUCK IT UP!!!
Eh, it was worth it to see him cry.
What did you think about this episode?

I was also pissed that Svetlana chose Beth for the Duel last week. I would have liked to see one of the popular girls gone instead. I don’t know if I missed something at the beginning of that episode, but it seemed that Svetlana was angry at Beth for telling Brad that someone had told her that Brad had said that Beth was gunning for Robin. I mean… is that any reason to break off an alliance? And I love how TJ keeps making up the Duel rules as he goes along. Craptastic!
I’m so glad that Kina has lost Derrick! It seems the longer these kids stick around on MTV, the more hatable they get. I used to like Kina, Jodi and Robin, but now, I hope they all get kicked off. I detest Kina with a passion.
I don’t know what it is about Wes; he is a huge douche, yet I find myself rooting for him every time.
I’ve been reading the recaps for a while now and finally created an account
B-Side, you are so funny!!!
BonaFide and B-Side both, I feel the same way, I’m a little bit embarassed about it, but: I am routing for Wes too….
Does anybody understand why Derrick did not get DQed for standing up, I don’t know, around 10 times? This show is crazy!
i also find myself strangley drawn to wes’ douch-baggery. the boy is just entertaining with all his damn waves of emotion.
can i also say that i love CT simply for the fact that he sounds so primitive when he talks that it makes me laugh. i thought i was going to spew milk from my nose (even though i wasn’t even drinking any milk) over the whole “tahhhhhpppp” incident!
i love you CT! keep tryin to get in diem’s pants, it just might be crazy enough to work!
p.s. b-side, can we please elope?
I too hate Wes but want him to at least win a few more things; however, he LAST thing I want is for him to win all the money and start creating little proto-Wesses with Johanna. EW.
If Derrick is their godfather, those kids are going to be drizzled with PBR at their christenings.
The whole CT “tahp” debacle was awesome. I swear the producers asked him to say it.
Once again, Saint CancerGirl gets a free pass from the others… I am finding myself disliking Diem in direct relation to how often I see her on my TV.
BonaFide, Svet basically created all the drama herself. She “overheard” Brad saying that he heard that Beth was going to take Robin into the Duel if she got picked. Svet told Beth, Beth was talking to Brad and asking him about what she heard, and he said wanted to know who told her. Beth wouldn’t give up names, but Brad called Svet out (probably because he noticed her “overhearing”) and Svet gets all upset and starts crying saying the doesn’t want any drama and then of course gets on her phone with her bf and says she wants to go home. The only reason she took Beth in the Duel is because everybody thought she was in an alliance with Beth, which she was, and she wanted them to like her.
Oh this made me spit out my coffee!!
“Help me, Diem. I’m wicked stuck between the seats.”
Every time I read it, I giggle.
diem needs to lose the wigs. she looks like a grade-A dipshit.
svetlana almost lost me last week. stupid fuck. (and if the flag rips, why is that beth’s fault? doesn’t that speak more of chinzy dollar store mtv props?)
robin needs to go. now. even if she is myl’s hole on the RW aftershow. gag me.
(still love you though myl. you can’t faulter in my world).
last rant: if you think a 6-figure sum is what can buy you happiness in your marriage to a grade-A dipshit, then you’re a wicked hahd stupid fuck and probably myl’s hole.
though apparently i can “faulter.’
sigh.
r.i.p big D.
B-Side, you totally caught Wes’s comment about what he would do with the money. He says it like “I want to be responsible and buy a big ring and have big wedding, not something silly like start a bank account”. What an idiot! Did anyone else think the tears were possibly related to his steroid use?
MTV’s had a chronic problem with their cheap props (remember that wooden boulder that fell apart as the contestants were rolling it across a field?).
Please, I NEED A SURVIVOR RECAP! I’m dying here!
missgkotter, i watched the episode again on overdrive, and he said that the money for him is more than just putting it in a bank account. maybe it’s something symbolic for him.
Anyways, what I actually wanted to say is that by watching the episode again, I saw that Wes is not as smart as I would like to think: on the pole, he had both of his hands near the middle of the pole and Derrick had his hands on the outside.
Don;t simple physics laws tell us that the closer you are to the middle, the more force you are going to have to apply to achieve the same results as if you grabbed the pole further away from the middle, or at least not both hands between derrick’s hands?
Physics? Wes? Seriously?
Regardless that Beth was DQ’d because the flag ripped. TJ stated the rules in the begining that you can’t rip it off you have to unclamp it and Beth didn’t do that so by the rules…she didn’t win.
I’m glad she didn’t though…I really thought Svetlana was gonna go home(even though i saw her on the next episode from the previews) I was getting scared and i felt bad cuz she was crying.
And I am too rooting for Wes…he seems a little bit more likeable. So it’s either Wes or Brad for me, to win.
still hoping…always the optimist…
ph and p.s.
B-side, I always love the pictures you post with the funny captions
underneath.
CT ‘wicked stuck’ between the chairs and Derrick and Wes with their ‘amazing sex’. hahah…..that was hilarious. I’m still giggling
well, I was so darn glad that Wes beat the hell ou tof Derek. Now what is that alliance going to do now. Did you see the girl’s faces when he lost? that was some funny shit. I cought myself yelling too. I am so tired of everyone feeling sorry for Diem. She really does need to lose those wigs. Did she really wear a pink wig??? Yeah, keep thinking you look good with them. anyways, I’m glad Derek is gone and still mad that Neimiah is gone. Svet is so wrong for taking on Beth, she should have taken on Jodi. We all know how she sucks under presure. Inferno against Veronica showed us all that!!!
I am so glad that Derrick is gone. Kina is such a freakin’ hypocrite. She attacks people for having alliances, and yet she has the biggest one of all.
Svetlana is an idiot, if she wanted to actually win her duel she should have picked Jodi (The Queen of Challenge Choking, take that as a pun if you like)or Kina (essentially a humanoid barking Chihuahua). But it was fun watching her run.
Speaking of the ladies, all this “let the sick girl win” is a bunch of crap. Why don’t the rest of the girls just go home if that’s how they feel about competing against Diem?
It looks like the next male duel will probably be CT and Brad. Those guys are gonna fight wicked haad. It’s a grudge matched between the bad Chicago accent and the bad Boston accent. It’s lose-lose though because they’re both funny. Brad will probably lose, he’s pretty much the likable side to Derrick’s “I can’t win a challenge coin”.
Where can I find the recap for november 23rd, when Beth lost the duel???? I missed it and want to know all the details.

Sorry for the double post. Connection issues…
The previews look so godd. I noticed Diem was in a duel and I wonder who is that girl who chose to go against her. Who ever it is, they better win! Why is Diem apart of that alliance anyway? She’s very new and the others are so damn old that they should really stop playing already. You know, Svet took out Beth and now the other girls are going to take out her. She just did them a favor. What a dumb ass!! O’well, I guess she thought that maybe they will put her in their alliance, but all those girls are so crooked.
I hope the girl duel next week is as good as yesterdays!!!!!!!!!!
ubiq- you bring up an interesting point about the fake boulder disintegrating.
i can’t remember what happened with that. was that team automatically disqualified for not being able to use disfunctional crap in the correct way (a la beth)? anyone remember?
k37744, do you happen to live in Baltimore?
max-
i hail from balmy, palm-treed cleveland, oh.
i can’t see b-side ever having a tvgasm get-together in my neck of the woods, though i’d love the opportunity to do my best myl impression. it kills.
B_Ran- Brad does not lose the duel to CT, and sillage- the other girls do not take out Svetlana… trust me….
I also was horrified to find myself rooting for Wes but I have hated Derrick for much longer. Though I don’t want Wes to have the money, it would be funny if he deprived all those veterans. Besides, if he wins, he may never come back!
I laughed when Wes said he wanted Derrick to be the godfather to his kids, just the way he said it made me giggle. Wes crying at the end scared me… but Wes and Johana getting married scared me even more.
*Go Loveland, Take State*
Too bad, there was some funny stuff to comment on from last week’s episode, mainly involving Kina. Did anyone notice how cracked out she looked when she picked Brad after the challenge? And when Beth pulled her tag off the raft, Kina mocked her in the confessional and made Beth seem like an immature 8-year-old… and then we immediately cut to Kina literally throwing a temper tantrum, screaming, “Fuckin’ Beth pulled my TAG!” God, I loved it. Also, was anyone else confused by that unnecessary argument at the beginning? It made absolutely no sense to me.
This week’s episode was awesome. I LOVE watching Derrick fail each time, but I kind of wish he would just win already so he would stop coming back to EVERY DAMN CHALLENGE. His line about re-evaluating his life was hilarious though. Now, after five years of this shit? ‘Bout time, Derrick, ’bout time.
I don’t really mind Wes, though the idea of him and Johanna procreating is terrifying. I was confused by his crying but kind of felt bad for him. I was glad he won.
The previews for the rest of the season look AWESOME. I’m glad they showed them because now I can’t avoid watching.
Oh, one more thing: Why the hell do they keep rooting for Cancer Girl? Maybe they didn’t let her win, but wtf. Did anyone hear, when Evan called her name and called her “birthday girl,” someone in the background said something to the effect of, “It’s her birthday every day!” Which is basically true, the way everyone treats her. It looks like she goes into a Duel, though, which I cannot WAIT for.
Is it race war week? We got Robin apparently throwing out some racial comments to Aneesa. On RW, Davis is gonna get in some racial hot water. See what Kramer started?!
I’m so annoyed by Diem. Everyone says “shes a cool girl,” but I know they’re keeping her in the game to show some kind of sympathy for her cancer treatment. It’s fucking annoying and stupid. As for Wes, I know he’s a cocky fuck but I’m rootin’ for the under-dog and I’m sooo tired of ugly Jodi and her parted hair, Kina and her blue eye shadow and Diem and her funky wigs. So I hope the underdogs win. The guys are getting to me too. What’s with CT turning into Adam Sandler circa Mr. Deeds? Gimmie a break.
Kudos on the re-cap B-Side.
B_ran (#32), I think Robin was talking about Aneesa’s sexuality in the preview. She sounded drunk, but she might sound drunk all the time, so I don’t know.
I didn’t really care who won that Duel; I just wanted them to beat each other up. Had a feeling Wes would win though (other than a clip I think I saw of CT and Wes fighting, that is). I just really hope he doesn’t win the money. I don’t know why people are calling him the underdog; he has quite a bit of physical strengths; he just sucks at life. Eric’s a lot more of an underdog than Wes.
On Svetlana and Beth, I don’t think Svetlana actually entered into Beth’s alliance. Or, maybe, with the booting of Nehemiah, she realized it just wasn’t going to work anymore since there’s only one guy left. Actually, if she did stay in the alliance, she’d have an even worse chance of winning, I think. She has a better chance against the other girls than against Beth and Aneesa when it comes to something weight related. Of course, I might be giving her too much credit.
Anyway, jozeyg (#15) is right about the flag ripping thing being in the rules. Beth even responded to it, so she obviously knew (which is not to say she remembered it, like people forgetting about the flags in the Exile). *shrugs* My whole world’s not turned upside down and I’m still going to watch.
Yeah, I do think all that emotional crying by Wes was due to steroid use. It was like dang the floodgates opened and he didn’t even know what he was crying about.
Heh, heh B-Side – I laughed out loud at that one, for a while! Good one!
Beth definitely got ripped off, and Svetlana’s Oksana Baiul moment was hilarious. I hate TJ Lavin, bring Back Dave Mirra!
I am SOOOOO sick of CANCER. Now CANCER has a birthday. BIG. FUCKING. DEAL. If I were in The Duel, I would totally kick CANCER’s ass. The guys are so fucking stupid – she cock-teases the ones who are the strongest, and leads them around by their dicks through the competition. Notice how she never actually has a relationship with them after the show? She’s a Cancer-infested, wigged-out WHORE!
Svetlana should have taken Kina out in the Duel. She could have won, and then Kina would not have been able to “master mine” anymore. Then Beth could have taken out Jodi, and Cancer. And Robin’s gianormous, silicon planets.
Derrick lost. Wes cried. Hahahahahahah! Win-win!
:S
I feel bad for Derrick.He’s always so devestated when he loses.
..I actually like Wes though. He’s kind of an idiot but he looks like the only castmember that actually works out..he’s entertaining.
And I really hope Svet wins over the so-called veterans. Veterans my ass.. Robin, Kina, Jodi… they haven’t been around THAT long… they’ve probably got 2 challenges under their belt plus this one
I also feel bad for Aneesa (and Tina also). MTV does a real good job of picking members from the newest couple of seasons (as far as girls go).. and the few that are a bit farther back (New York-10th season) get screwed over in alliances.
shiaobundan, Wes looks like the only cast member that works out? Can you not see the rest of them…?
Rockstar,
Correction, Wes looks like he bodybuilds, CT looks like he works out a lot, Derrick, Brad, Evan, Nehemiah look like they lift weights to stay in shape/have some build. Eric obviously does little of anything.
Watch the episode when they were swimming through mud/had their shirts off.. Wes has the best build (its hard to see through his blinding pastiness) but Nehemiah said on the aftershow that Wes has been a bodybuilder for a while, while Neh and the other guys are more casual about it.
I have a really hard time seeing anybody (other than maybe CT) being able to take Wes out one-on-one when its based on strength.
For some strange reason, I really like Brad – just his goofiness is sooo funny.
Like when he won the motorcycle, man was he pumped. I don’t think he’s won any of these things (a la Derrick) has he?
And what’s up with Wes’ skin going from eggshell white to beet red during the greasy tahp run? Yeah, I get that people’s heart rate and blood pressure go up, but man he really needs a tan. Or, just get sunburnt and stay red. Make a choice!
Why do I think of “sweat” every time someone shortens Svetlana to Svet. As in svetty balls.
What’s grosser than Wes+Johanna is CT+Diem. Hello! Ask CT to donate some of his moppy hair to make a new wig for yourself.
Is Aneesa still around? She’s been quiet.
I remember. They didn’t stop the game and made the team carry all the pieces of the boulder to the finish line. There was no contreversey about what happened because they had lost.
Yeah, I remember them getting all the pieces and having to deal with the wooden “boulder.”
Was that back in the days of tubby Johnny Moseley? Much better TV presence than TJ Lavin.
MTV YOU SUCK FOR DQing beth.
real lame way to end a challenge.
Papillon6(#13),
About the whole physics thing, it is easier to hold the stick at each end than hold it in the middle because you have more stabilization that way. Like when you are water skiing, it’s easier to hold the stick on the outside because it will flap in the wind otherwise if you hold it in the middle. And in case you’re wondering (which you probably aren’t), I am a senior physics major in college getting ready to graduate in May (woohoo).
WeatherGurl:
Way to go!
I was thinking of increasing the length of your lever arm while holding it on the outside. My strategy would be to use the ground as help and play pole wrestle like an extended arm wrestle.
Does anyone know if Danny and Melinda[from Austin,I think] are still together?Thought I read somewhere they broke up.
Well, I hope they broke up already. He seemed like the possesive type and she always kissed his ass. I hate woman who let there dudes boss them around. I guess maybe it’s me. I live in Austin and I hate that they thought they were the shit because everyone portrays austin to be some kinda hillbilly country folks. Well, news flash, we aren’t!! I just think they didn’t make a good couple.
mo_knows, I sure hope you are right! It would be nice to have some new chick kick the road dogs asses. So, if Wes wants to spend all the money on some wedding and ring, what happened to the money he won on fresh meat? Didn’t he say the same thing the last time? The way he plans on spending that money, I think someone else should win.
As always, great recap. HOWEVER, that Beth is definitely NOT the most interesting castmember. Her act is getting old and boring. It was a stupid DQ, but that gay cat scratch and evil cackle are past their prime, just like Beth.
Did anyone notice Wes’ raging HARD ON when the duel was over.
Please tell me you saw it..
About Beth’s DQ I think that it was not her fault that the flag ripped because she was holding on to it when Svetlana pushed the pole thingy and it pushed her back as she was holding on to the flag so it ripped, it was a lame ass DQ and Svetlana should have gone home.
As for this episode, I was surprised to find myself rooting for Wes in the duel I was actually yelling when he won and then he had to ruin it by crying *sigh* oh well. Still I’m glad Wes won and that Derrick is gone woot! Ahh I have nobody to root for, I was rooting for Kenny and he got sent home, I was rooting for Beth and she got sent home…I think I’m gonna root for CT now because he’s wicked hot haha, and as for the girls,well I don’t really like any of them so I’m just gonna root for Aneesa.Great recap as usual B-Side
