Coming hot on the heels of Wednesday’s racially charged episode of The Real World, The Duel has now joined the current national dialogue about race relations in America. Granted, it didn’t really add much, and what it did add was handled rather obtusely, but still, charges of racism still emerged, and for a fleeting second, The Real World/Road Rules challenge nearly dared us to think for a second. But then the show just turned into a food fight and puke-fest, and all was right with the world again. Ahhh normalcy.This week’s show started off optimistically: the whole gang was partying at a club, taking over the spot like a drunk version of a cockroach infestation. The girls were dancing on a bar top (obligatory behavior for each of these Challenges), Eric was going nuts in the DJ booth for some reason, Wes and Evan were, um, grinding on each other (I don’t get it either). Basically, it was one big drunken romp, and I was kind of hoping it would end with someone yelling, “TURISTAS, GO HOME!!!” but alas, no such maniacal Brazilian was around to abduct these kids and systematically mutilate them in a creepy laboratory. Instead, the gang just continued to imbibe, and no one enjoyed Brazil’s spirits more than Robin, who was way-hay-sted.
“I’m drunk as a fuckin’ skunk!” she alerted the bar, possibly on the prowl for another marine to assault. Well, it’s been a while since we’ve seen Robin at her drunken best, and we’d almost forgotten that she’s kind of a, you know, BEAST. Luckily, this is “Let’s Get Wasted And Say Racist Things Week” on MTV, which meant that as soon as the kids got home, Robin said, “Aneesa, you confuse the fuck out of me!… Aneesa, if you’re gay, lesbian, straight, black, white, Puerto Rican, Portuguese — pick something!” Sadly, there was no video of this momentous statement — only audio (urgh) — but fear not. The fallout was all caught on tape. Just as you’d expect, Aneesa was furious.
“Get the fuck out of my face! You are a disgrace to women!!!” yelled Aneesa, the person whose indelible mark on womanhood has been peeing on camera and waltzing around her Real World house with no pants or undies.
Robin looks shocked, but she’s actually just yawning.
Nevertheless, Aneesa followed up her rant by telling us, “I’m like ‘Oh heeeellllll no!!!’” Shocking. Positively shocking. Aneesa then cursed out Robin some more before waltzing away to another corner of the house. Witnessing this whole mess was Kina, who told us, “I have never in my life not known what to say!” She then added, “So I’ll do what I always do: say something idiotic instead.” Okay, she didn’t say that at all, but let me tell you, I certainly treasured that moment. It’s not often that we get to revel in the bliss that is a speechless Kina.
“Oh my God! I just realized! I’m a total moron!”
Of course, she wasn’t really speechless. She rhetorically asked us, “How on earth could you ever ever ever ever ever say that?” Yeah, um, I know what Robin said was insensitive, but after last night’s Real World and Michael Richards’ rant, I wouldn’t call this the most gasp-inducing moment in reality history.
To be honest, I had mixed feelings about the whole thing. On the one hand, Aneesa had every right to be pissed. She’s the child of a mixed marriage and probably has spent her whole life dealing with people trying to pigeonhole her every day. But then again, I’m not sure if Robin was intending to be racist or attempting to classify Aneesa, necessarily (although, her comments were said in a highly confrontational way). Sometimes it’s frustrating to deal with someone who selectively showboats any part of their personality as if it’s their defining feature (when it isn’t). Ugh. Chances are they’re both right and both wrong, but ultimately, Robin’s way of broaching the issue — especially knowing Aneesa’s volatile and idiotic disposition — was not the wisest move.
Ultimately, Aneesa wound up crying in a room, saying that because of her mixed heritage, she accepted everyone regardless of skin color or lifestyle choices. “You know,” she said, “you want to wear one blue sock, one red sock, I don’t care!” Well! It’s about time someone finally spoke up for the mixed sock population of America! Consider yourself empowered, multi-sockers!
Meanwhile, outside Brad was weighing in with his eye-bulging opinion of the situation: “I am very offended! Yes, I am!!!” That’s right. He ain’t scurred. Just offended. Yes, he is! Even worse, he now was stuck in the unenviable position of having to be allied with the girl who everyone pretty much hated at that moment. Oh brother!
Later on, Aneesa approached Robin to talk about the whole incident, but bitch wanted to sleep. Yeah, now’s a time when you should probably wake up. This understandably made Aneesa angrier, and while she didn’t reach Tyrie/Leeroy Jenkins levels, she certainly wasn’t about to calm down anytime soon. “There’s not enough sorries you could say to me!” Aneesa told Robin, which then had me wondering why she was even talking to her in the first place.
Robin then explained a little bit of where she was coming from, saying that every Challenge, Aneesa had different hair, different accents, different looks — as opposed to all the other girls who’ve never changed their hair color. Ever. But actually, I understood what Robin was getting at, especially when she noted that it’s hard to trust someone if you don’t really know where they’re coming from. Or something like that. I’m just shocked Robin hasn’t cornered Diem and asked, “What’s the deal? Every week you have like a different hairstyle. Are you wearing wigs or something? What are you trying to hide? Pick a style, BITCH!”
Anyway, the two girls bickered some more, and when Robin told Aneesa that she didn’t understand her sexuality, Aneesa barked back, “It’s not FOR you to understand! I don’t even understand it!” She then added, “All I know is that I love attention and will do whatever is necessary to get that attention so back off, BITCH!!!”
Okay, she didn’t say that, but we did cut to commercial, and when we returned, we found the gang outside a Pizzeria for this week’s challenge, titled “Dine-N-Dash.” Sounded promising for the ick factor. Tell us the deets, TJ!
Well, Svetlana and Diem were anointed captains (and by the way, let me reiterate again this week — I do hope Svetty’s tat is fake), and first they had to pick teams. As the lone boy who went unchosen, Wes got to sit out for this competition, which was good because now he could rest his body from the previous night’s Duel with Derrick. Yes, I agree. This was all immensely fascinating.
Svetty’s awful tattoo.
Anyway, once the teams were chosen, TJ then weighted everyone individually and tallied up a total weight for each team. The kiddos would then have twenty minutes to scarf down as much food as possible, and whichever team gained the most weight would then move onto phase two. For this second part of the challenge, the remaining players would all have to do wind sprints. Basically, they had to run up to poles and grab flags, and the first person to collect all ten flags from all ten posts would win. One catch — everyone had to take their first flag from the first pole. Why? I don’t know. But it was a rule so like whatevs, right?
Well, the winning girl would earn immunity from the Duel while the winning male would take home a full NHL package that had all sorts of stuff that really only Evan would like, on account of him being a hockey-playing Canuck. With all the rules and regulations out of the way, it was finally time to chow down. We soon cut to everyone stuffing their faces with Brazilian foods. Brad shoved slabs of steak into his mouth, Aneesa chugged some sort of mysterious red goo, and everyone else pretty much consumed whatever was in front of them. Surprisingly enough, amidst all this, Eric announced that this was a little difficult for him because “I’m a picky eater.” Yes, silly me. I should have realized he was a selective epicurean. Only the finest donuts and cheeseburgers for him!
Somewhere in the middle of all this, Evan and CT decided to engage in a miniature food fight, which delightfully rankled fellow teammate Kina, who complained to us, “This is not a food fight. This is not a joke!” Wow! Kina’s taking something super seriously! THIS IS GROUNDBREAKING!
Speaking of Kina, we then saw her chugging down water from a bottle; although, if we didn’t know any better, we’d think she was suckling from a cow teat. I never knew that much suction could be applied to a water bottle. Leave it to Kina to make even the simple act of drinking water annoying.
Well, the good news for Kina was that her team won phase one, which meant she, Diem, Robin, Evan, and CT would be battling it out in phase two. TJ blew the airhorn, and soon all the idiots were off to collect their flags. Amazingly, CT immediately bypassed the first pole (dude, it was the only rule) and charged for a different flag. He ultimately collected his flags the fastest, and after some casual barfing by Evan and Diem, it was time for the results.
CT came in first place, but because he overlooked that pesky pole rule, he was disqualified, meaning that Evan won his beloved NHL package after all. Hooray, eh!!! Meanwhile, Diem won the challenge for the girls, which meant she was immune from the Duel and was now burdened with the task of kicking off the pick’em.
Well, Diem chose CT (of course), and he picked Kina, who picked Evan, who picked Jodi, who picked Brad. I guess in the wake of all that had happened the night before, Aneesa just assumed she’d be picked first, and when she wasn’t, she asked us, “Are these the same people that had my back the other day?” Last time I checked, these people never had your back. You were in Beth’s alliance. Remember?
Anyway, it all came down to Brad. Who would he save? His possibly racist ally Robin or her sort of victim Aneesa?
No shock here. Brad picked Robin, despite the fact he had been very offended (Yes he was!) by her actions. Well, Robin picked Wes, who then saved Svetlana, which meant Aneesa was going into the Duel. Of course, she picked Robin to join her, and soon we were off to the chamber of insanity for another go-around with our old favorite event, the ever tangram-tastic ASCENDER!
I had no idea who would win this grudge match. Both women didn’t seem like the type that could ascend anything, and I wasn’t so sure how their tangram skillz were either. Nevertheless, the Duel began, and both girls labored their way up their ropes, at the top of which they were to release their puzzle pieces. This was no problem for Aneesa, but for whatever reason, Robin could not unhinge her basket of tangram hell. This gave Aneesa a huge lead, but then again, let’s not forget the lead Tyler squandered in his Ascender loss against Derrick. There’s always room for a comeback.
Anyway, after what felt like ages, Robin finally mastered the finer nuances of the carabiner and released her puzzle pieces. Soon both girls were frantically working on their tangram puzzle. Who would reign supreme? The winner… was… Aneesa! And just like that, Robin was sent home in a blaze of tears and regret. I’ll kind of miss her, but she wasn’t too integral to the season; so I think we’ll all be able to move on.
Meanwhile, Brad articulated his thoughts on losing his ally: “It’s affecting me, but I’m not letting it affect me.” Oh. Okay. That kind of makes no sense.
What did you think about this episode? What did you think about the fight? Which girl was in the right — if at all?

Haven’t seen the episode yet, so I can’t judge on the fight. However, I called it last week, it’s Race War Week on MTV. They’ll cap it off with a best of Kramer special on Sunday.
I love Brad. As a fellow native of Chicago, I can understand the loud obnoxious accent, appreciate it even. But that kid is a goddamn idiot. It’s part of his charm, I suppose. He’s a meathead, but you can’t help but like him for his uncloaked idiocy.
I can’t wait for someone to call out Kina. The only game she could win is a “Who looks most like the Joker” challenge; whoever goes against Kina can beat her. Also, Eric needs to go in. Unless it’s a pie eating contest, I think the remaining guys can take him.
I kind of wanted to see a screencap of Robin with a ton of food in her mouth. Made me crack up a billion times over.
Great consecutive nights of Bunim/Murray programming. “Real World” was more entertaining, but Aneesa’s rant made more sense than Wednesday night’s pull-apart.
CT=Complete fucking moron. There is no other possible explanation. He’s an idiot. He’s a doofus. He’s the guy that gets darts thrown at him when there isn’t a board around. All this means is that whenever he comes on screen, I’m turning up the volume and turning on the subtitles, because I can’t wait to see what he does/says next.
Great recap, too, B-Side. Awesome, as always.
Ha ha – the Brad caption cracked me up! That one’s going on my desktop today.
Robin is a piece of shit. Does anyone remember when she pulled out the N word in San Diego? Jaquese was completely hurt and offended, yet entirely open to talking to Robin about it? And what did that fucking twit do? She justified it by CLAIMING to have been raped by a black man – completely dismissing JAQUESE’s feelings. You know, because he’s a black dude he must be representing for all the black rapists out there!
I actually really felt bad for Aneesa, Robin was out of line. WTF? Aneesa looks different on every challenge? Didn’t Robin used to be blonde, and dress even trampier? Jesus, what cracker-shack towns is MTV recruiting these assholes from? First Melinda using the term “colored”, and now this?
I don’t know… This isn’t Robin’s first time on TV, she should know better. For once, I actually wish Coral would have been there!
On another note, how long do think it REALLY took TJ to do all that math?
Ha B-side that preview of this episode when they show Robin yawning has been pissing me off all week! She looks extra gross in it for some reason! I hope that she wins one of these challenges so she can fix that awful boob job she has that was only accentuated by that dress she was wearing.
But on to the more important stuff. Robin is an idiot and what was ridiculous is she really didn’t seem to grasp how rude her comment was. I guess I understand what her point was (kind of?) but she didn’t seem to think she needed to really appologize for the way she said it. I thought Aneesa handled it all pretty well and I was glad she won!
ATTENTION ALL REALITY STARS
Will one of you please punch Kina in the face? That is all.
After i saw Kina chugging that water…all i could think to myself was “B-Side is going to have something really funny to say about that”….
also, in a somewhat response to chee z teevee addict….what happened to jaquese anyway? he was awesome. bring him to a challenge, MTV!
Excellent recap as always B-Side!
Race war week is on MTV this week. They just need some Seinfeld reruns, a Survivor marathon, and cap it all of with Braveheart.
I will kinda miss Robin too, but as long as Kina is still around for ridiculousness. I lover her application of make-up with a butter knife.
I think I understand WHERE Robin was coming from from the standpoint of not really understanding Aneesa, but it’s clearly not appropriate to make offensive generalizations while drunk.
Gotta love SPEECHLESS KINA. (Doesn’t that sound like a doll they sell at Toys R’Us?)
B-Side, I thought you would have made a comment of Aneesa being a SLOW forgive, when she kept saying to the camera, “I will forgive the girl.” or something to that effect.
Glad race relations week is over! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming!
Has anyone else noticed that the prizes are always SIGNIFICANTLY better for the guys than the girls? I mean the last girl one I remember was a car stereo… yippee! I call shenanigans!
WOW!!!!!!! I missed it last night and was so ready to see what happened. Great recap!!
I was shocked to hear robin say something racist again. Did she not learn her lesson? Glad she went home!
I understood what she was asking but thought she asked wrong. Aneesa is different and sometimes different is good. Who would want to keep their appearance the same all the time? (jodi & kina)Same old same old is very boring. I can’t beleive brad picked robin, but then again maybe he thought if she did go into the duel and win maybe should wouldn’t pick him. Who cares, their alliance is getting small every episode. Let a good guy win, if there is such a person??????????
I dont think Robin was being racist, I think she was being judgmental and stupid. Who cares what Aneesa’s sexuality is unless you want to date her? As far as changing her look, women did lose a lot of weight which is a far sight harder than dying your hair (ROBIN). And Robin has been known to try to throw some flava into her speech for no apparent reason so that’s that. Not to sound the same as my post in RW yesterday, but nobody here is making great life choices, so Robin needs to keep her thoughts to herself.
I do have to admit I like Brad too. He does get the googly eyes when he gets worked up, but he seems like a cool enough guy.
Ash, I have definitely noticed how the prizes have favored the guys. Some of the prizes the women get are things that most women would never use…and the guys prizes seem to be much more expensive – I mean a motorcycle?!
Thanks for the recap, B-Side. I keep forgetting to watch this thing. Amazing, I know, ’cause it’s not like MTV will EVER repeat it.
Chee-Z-TeeVee Addict: it would have been great if Coral had been there. Her reaction would have been something to see.
Actually slutty_whore, it’s not appropriate to make offensive generalizations while sober either. But then these people are probably never sober!
I think that CT gave the win to Evan. It seems as they are both cool with each other, and since they were in no danger of being selected all they had was the prize. Of which Evan wanted it more, bigger hockey fan, then CT. Since he couldn’t give up he just decided to DQ himself. I just don’t think he’s that stupid to not remember the only rule…
I comepletly forgot about the incident with jaq and robin…Jaq was cool but he is to normal for reality tv
Is MTV doing some sort of Race/Sex awareness week but failed to advertise and promote it? That is the only reason I can see for this week’s Real World and Duel “themes”.
That said, this must be the lamest elimination challenge ever, unless the next one is going to be a follow-up to this one…
Glad race relations week is over! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming!

i said that same exact thing to my husband. weird…anyway, robin is stupid. i hate when people say well one black person did something bad to me so i hold it against all of them. (she didnt say that, but u know what i mean). really? that’s so fuckin stupid! why is it any of robin’s business as to “what” aneesa is? because of trust? and yet u trust someone a rampant slut (jody) and someone whose make-up puts tammy faye bakker to shame (duh).
Can we please just talk about how Robin said she was at least happy she was leaving with some class? (“Going out classy”, I believe) Guess she takes charm school lessons from the same place Kina learned to apply make-up…
This episode shows how ignorant Robin is. I did watch her season, and saw the episode where she used the N-word. You’d think that after all that ensued after that, she’d learn her lesson. It’s really none of her business how Aneesa classifies herself. If she were a friend (which she’s obviously not), she’d accept her for whatever she is. Despite how she identifies herself. And I can understand how Aneesa felt in this situation, because I’m multiracial too. The whole way Robin dealt with this thing was wrong. Especially her smirking while Aneesa was upset. I lost a lot of respect for Robin in this episode. I’m glad she left.
That screenshot of Kina reminded me of Foie Gras. *sigh* memories.
Anyway, I would love to see what would happen if MTV did a season of either Real World or the Challenge completely dry. No alcohol. I dont think any of them would have a chance to make it to the end.
Seriously… what was with Wes and Evan!? O_O
Hahah. I love when Brad gets all round-eyed. It cracks me up.
And Robin is lowwwwwww class.
Robin’s an idioit.
MTV tricked me! Since I live on the west coast this show plays before it starts here, so they have it up on mtv.com at like 8:00…and what did i see? I saw Aneesa on the aftershow. So I automatically think she got cut from the Duel. Because they usually have the person who just cut on the Aftershow. But when I watched the show, Aneesa won. And that made me happy, but confused cuz i got tricked. Anyways….jus wanted to tell my story =)
Oh, and i’m soooo glad Robin left. Next up…Kina
oh….and if anyone watched the aftershow. Did you hear that Aneesa said Robin and Jodi would make out with each other. And that Jodi tried to make out with Aneesa. Eww! Dang those girls will get some wherever they can get it.
ahhh! i love jaquese! he is, hands down, one of my all-time fave RWers. i had totally forgotten about that ep where Robin dropped the n-bomb. She clearly has never heard of thinking before she speaks &/or acts. I think I kinda see where she was coming from because Aneesa is quite an enigma, but the way she chose to ask(???) about it, whatever, was just not cool. And don’t get me started on how she acted when Aneesa was upset. Robin officially fell off with me on that one. Whatever. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Next:Kina!
I love Brad and have loved him since SD and all of his drunk tank incidents. When the eyes bug out, I fall a little more for him. I’m lame.
And could someone PLEASE tell CT that rosaries are NOT necklaces!! I got yelled at in gradeschool by Sister LeeAnn for wearing mine as one. Not fun.
Ps I hate Diem and her whack ass and I’m praying that Svetty loses that god-awful “tat”.
I didn’t see anything really racist about Robin’s comments either. It just was insensitive to Aneesa and idiotic. I can sort of understand about wanting to classify sexuality (like for the purpose of being able to joke about guys or girls who they might see outside or whatever), but there’s nothing difficult to understand about being multiracial (it’s easily defined and shouldn’t affect whether you like or trust them or not).
silentfire (#14), I’m sure there was nothing preventing CT from just giving up or, at least, walking slowly or whatever if he really wanted to throw the event. So, yeah, I’m pretty sure he is that stupid (I believe he even stated that he didn’t pay attention and seemed disappointed about it).
Hey, Race Relations week also crept into my real life, as last week I heard some old woman use the n-word at a store talking to one of the cashiers. I don’t know what the fuck is going on!! In any case, I haven’t seen this episode yet, but I’m glad Robin went home after reading this recap! I pretty much liked the entire San Diego cast (except Frankie) but Robin just lost a lot of respect from me (and that’s just from this recap!)
I used to like Robin, but now she’s just freaking annoying. I don’t care how drunk she was, she knew exactly what she was saying and how it would be perceived. She actually sounded like she was annoyed that Aneesa didn’t just stay the same all the time and she couldn’t fit her into some category to make her feel more comfortable. What Aneesa identifies herself as has nothing to do with Robin. Her whole explanation about why she said it reeked of bullshit. She was clearly making shit up on the spot to cover her ass.
Is this the reason why she wasn’t part of the aftershow? Too much potential drama between her and and Aneesa? Was it just for this episode or from now on? It kinda seems like Lacey’s going to be there from now on because they usually have the loser o nthe aftershow, therefor it wouldn’t have been a problem to just have Robin be interviewed instead of doing the interviewing.
Wow, I was really surprised by Aneesa’s reaction to Robin’s comments. She has never been a favorite of mine and I’ve always thought she was pretty obnoxious and immature, but she really dealt with that whole situation in a mature, adult way. She did initially get mad and swear a little, but instead of reacting to Robin’s disrespectful fake yawning she just walked away and then later approached Robin to work it out instead of just bitching about it to other people. And she still stayed calm and open even when it was apparent that Robin had no interest in resolving the issue. Even after she won the duel she didn’t rub it in Robin’s face in her interview. Props to Aneesa. I usually like Robin, but not this episode and I’m glad she went home. And as somebody else already said… Kina next, please.
I have yet to see this episode, but when I first read B-side’s recap I have to admit, I didn’t think Robin’s remark to Aneesa was so much racist as it was just plain insulting. But after we were reminded that she also used a racial slur with her San Diego cast-mate, Jaquese (who, by the way, is one class-act-of-a-guy), my opinion changed completely.
I do feel that Robin’s comment was not only racist but also anti-gay. I’m straight and white but I was offended by Robin, not just because of her insensitive remark, but also by her complete lack of respect by yawning when Aneesa was expressing her frustration. Again, I have only seen the preview of “The Yawn” scene, so maybe it’s out of context for me, but I was appalled and to me it was very telling about Robin’s personal character.
I’m sure at some point Robin will be like most of the other Real World and “Road Rage” cast-members. She’ll express a deep remorse for her actions and then blame it on intoxication. They all seem to do that and granted, people do lose their inhibitions when inebriated (I count myself as one). But alcohol can also be a truth serum that makes people blatantly honest (albeit temporarily) about their true feelings which was the case for Robin.
It’s a shame that Robin has learned nothing from her past alcohol-induced episodes while whittling away the time in her San Diego jail cell.
Evan is lucky! I could seriously use that NHL package instead of paying for Center Ice.
But I think Eric is the next guy to leave and Kina is the next girl. Thats what it says on wiki. I’d rather it be Jodi.
I’m glad Robin is gone. I couldn’t stand seeing her in a bathing suit for another time. Blechhh.
I saw this episode and I have to say that I agreed with Aneesa when she said that her sexual preference is not for her to understand. That is Aneesa’s business and she had no right to make those comments towards her. I’m glad that she’s gone. As for the challenge, damn CT, LMAO he looked so funny when he was saying that he wasn’t paying attention. It’s haahhd to believe that he could be so stupid but I still like him anyways. Great recap as usual B-Side
I’m surprised no one’s mentioned how smug Robin looked when Brad chose her over Anessa? That sealed it for me.
I know she wasn’t a major part of this episode but I cannot stand Jodi!
This entire season she’s been decently strong but has flown under the radar and her name is never even brought up when it comes to duels/alliances/etc.
My theory is that she stays “friendly” with all of the guys so that every elimination one of them is bound to pick her, since she’s been a raging slut every other season.
AND THAT CENTER PART IN HER HAIR DRIVES ME CRAZY!
Cherin, I think you have a point. Jodi is a slut. I think someone will call her out soon. I just wonder who? How interesting is it going to get when they start calling out there own alliance members? Is it me or does it seem like Jodi is trying to be like Kina? I hope Kina or Jodi get sent home next. As for the guys, I don’t think anyone would pick Ecic to go into the duel. His weight might be something they are intimidated by. He could again be in the log challenge thing and beat all the guys, or fail miserably trying to climb a latter to release puzzle pieces. Which ever one, I don’t think anyone would take that risk. So, is the guys this week? I hope Wes wins a challenge so we can see what two guys would go against each other… Let some real dramma be started!!!!!!!!
I’m surprised no one’s mentioned how smug Robin looked when Brad chose her over Anessa? That sealed it for me.

Totally agree. That really pissed me off. What the hell is wrong with her? She never used to bother me but this season I was seriously hoping she’d get ousted. So glad Aneesa sent her packing.
I don’t get why Aneesa hugged Robin so much at the end as if she was going to really miss her. If she was really mad at her, why didn’t she give her the cold shoulder after the challenge?
These people are all such blatant idiots. Can anyone count or understand strategy?
Who cares who picks who in the early stages. No one is safe unless they have immunity on their duel day. Leaving the person who is gunning for someone to the end GUARANTEES they will be picked to go in. If someone’s weak but looking to take out one of your own, pick them right away so they don’t get a choice. DUMB.
Oh my GOD B-Side, your recaps just keep getting funnier and funnier, I can barely stand it. I think it’s so funny that us readers watch and think, “Oh, B-Side is gonna have a field day with what he/she just said!”
But I’m glad that you agreed that what Robin said wasn’t TOO terrible, I felt guilty when I was like, “This isn’t really Leroy Jenkins anger worthy.” [though it was really lame of her to say]
And though I almost like Kina, I love your strange hatred for her!
Um…how is Jodi a slut?
How would that help her? There’s nothing preventing the last person from chosing her unless she won immunity.
#39 and #40
Jodi comment is based on past seasons, I.E. the Miz, Alton, Mark, etc.
And I know nothing is preventing the last girl from choosing her, but no one ever does. And no one even entertains the thought of choosing her, hence she is flying under everyone’s radar.
Regardless of whether or not she’s being slutty, her strategy (if she has one) is working perfectly, whatever she’s doing.
Just my opinion..
