First of all, someone brought up Thunder From Down Under in the comments on the last recap, which made my week. All members of the MP, your homework assignment is to visit their website, though it’s probably best if you don’t do that at work. I’ve seen them three times, and I highly recommend it. Now, let’s get down to business.
Previously: The Douche Trio and their Stage Five Clinger Wes decided to enact some plan that made CT a metaphorical Hitler and acted like they would be war heroes if they could pull it off. Wes decided Mandi was hot, but she was too busy flirting with CT. Laurel decided CT was hot, but he was too busy flirting with Mandi. It’s all very A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
And, if I may borrow some wise words from the Bard, “Lord, what fools these mortals be!”
(MP, you’re welcome.) We open with CT and Laurel flirting. Wow, where was the transition on this one? When last we left them, CT was all about flirting with Mandi and more or less laughing Laurel off. Did I miss something? A deleted scene, perhaps? I really expect a more thorough narrative to inform my Challenge viewing experience, apparently.
Anyway, Bananas is happy as a pig in shit that he can use the constantly swirling emotions of these girls to get them all riled up for his own amusement. He points out that CT and Laurel are upstairs and asks the room in general if Mandi should do something about it. Mandi responds by slamming an unidentified utensil on the table. Oh, good lord, I sincerely hope that CT does not have a bunny. Or that there are no innocent bunnies running around that particular area of Costa Rica.
Clearly, Tyler is on the same page as the rest of us.
Adam recaps it for those viewers with the short-term memory of a goldfish: he and Jenn are “hooking up,” as are CT and Mandi. However, CT has now found Laurel. In fact, he is telling her about his brother getting shot and killed right before he left to do the Duel 2. When he got there, he and Adam got into their little spat. And yes, I was going for the biggest understatement in Challenge history with that last sentence. Apparently, CT feels bad about that.
He’s either actually liking Laurel or he’s just upping his flirting game for the hell of it, but this is definitely more intense than his “choking is totally normal” conversation with Mandi. CT says they’re both bullies, and Laurel tells us their connection is totally real and she’s gonna “see how it goes.”
Back downstairs, Tyler is telling Mandi that he had hoped she would execute more class, because that is a trait that all challengers are known for. Laurel comes down to a round of applause from the sixth-grade contingent, and Mandi “jokingly” yells about sloppy seconds and Laurel being a whore. Laurel rolls her eyes at this display and says she’s getting to know CT as a person, and I’m not NORMALLY one to agree with Laurel, but…
Mandi claims that she doesn’t care, and CT is just eye candy. The guys try to egg Mandi on and get her pissed off.
Speaking of eggs, here’s a big ole hardboiled one, with a side of extra-crispy bacon.
Evan informs us that CT has hit that (meaning Mandi) and has now moved on to a “bigger, badder girl.” He says everyone knows that Mandi is pissed.
Ev tells Walnuts and Wes that all of the girls who have been falling for CT will end up looking like suckers. Ev is really on an awesome streak this season. Wes agrees, then uses it as a platform to begin talking about himself, admitting that when it comes to the game, he is threatened by CT. HOLY FUCKING SHIT, did Wes just admit that someone, somewhere is high and mighty enough to tango with his untouchable self?
Hold on tight, Gasmii. The world might have actually just stopped turning on its axis.
Wes blabs to EvNuts about him being able to “run circles around” CT in the final, so I suppose the world has once again resumed proper rotation. Ev says she doesn’t believe he’s that confident if he’s going to such lengths to get CT out before the final. Wes blabs some more about their plan and Ev tells him he sounds “really cocky right now.” RIGHT NOW, Ev? Looks like someone’s trying to beat me out for biggest Challenge understatement. Ev thinks the guys and their plan are crazy.
Wes and Kenny are kind of like Pinky and the Brain, no? (Note: I am in no way suggesting that either of them has a properly functioning brain.) Every week, Wes comes up with some master plan/strategy to TAKE OVER THE WORLD. And every week, Kenny manages to be a goofy dumbass and fuck it up. Also, Wes is like Pinky in that he’s constantly dancing around asking for attention from the Brain/Kenny, while Brain/Kenny just react mostly with disdain and/or annoyance. And yes, I do realize they are both Pinky and both the Brain in this comparison, but I stand by my point.
Time for some good old-fashioned demonstration of the RIVALRY between Evan and Nehemiah. Nehemiah says Evan is a “follower” based on the way he acts, especially around Kenny and Bananas. I’ve always thought Evan was the ringleader in that scenario, but what do I know? Evan retaliates by saying that Nehemiah hides behind “fake spiritualism” and asking why he’s there. Nehemiah claims that he’s there because there are things he will have to deal with that he wouldn’t in his normal life, and this will help him grow.
![rivals ep 6 bonbon[1]](http://www.tvgasm.com/wp-content/uploads/rivals-ep-6-bonbon1-300x167.jpg)
“For example, in my day-to-day life I do not live in fear of you confusing me with a bonbon and trying to eat me.”
Also, he wants money. Evan says if Nehemiah is so concerned with his spirituality, he should go live in a monastery. Nehemiah tells us they lack desperately in the communication area. It’s quite jarring because I honestly can’t remember the last time I’ve seen Evan fight with anyone.
Challenge time! CT is enjoying living life under the microscope. This week’s challenge is called Catch and Release. One partner will be suspended in a harness and the other one will have to jump into his/her arms. They will swing across the water and pull a release that drops them as close to the finish line as possible, then swim the rest of the way. Fastest guys are safe, slowest ones in the jungle, fastest girls win $2000. Hey! Teej managed not to call that last part “interesting” this week. Progress!
Teej sends Jenn and Mandi off to make the order while Bananas reiterates the Master Douche Plan for us. CT will lose, Evan will lose worse, and they will vote CT into the Jungle to face Evan. Mandi asks who they’re putting first, and Jenn firmly says it’s CT and Adam, despite Mandi’s half-hearted plea for MikeRoy. Jenn says she’s known Adam for years, while Mandi has only known CT for a few weeks and is trying to save him. Jenn says that kind of playing with the heart is why Mandi is not leading this team.
“I have a FRENCH BRAID. This is SERIOUS, so take your pussy little pearl earrings over there and DO WHAT I SAY!”
Roy Lee tells us he and MikeMike plan to perform and stay quiet so they can sail through to the finals. That would be awesome, but you KNOW if Johnny or Kenny lose, they are absolutely going to take MikeRoy into that jungle. Jenn and Walnuts call Kenny the “DQ King” and we get a fun flashback to him failing at almost every challenge so far this season. Kenny tells us this is the longest he’s gone without winning a challenge, so the plan is to win today. I can’t believe we’re wasting this brilliant strategy on the Challenge, can we get Kenny into a high-powered position in Washington DC instead?
Evan asks Nehemiah if he wants to hang or jump, and Neh wisely says jump so he doesn’t have to catch Evan’s fat ass. Evan tells us he’s planning on losing today, but the problem with that is it “affects Nehemiah as well.” This unprecedented awareness of others is shocking.
CT and Adam are, of course, up first and once again, they do well. Adam says it’s like being in an action movie and CT once again asks if they’re friends and gets no response. Kenny jokingly strangles Adam and tells him to say they’re friends. Kenny tells us that CT is only doing this because he and Adam are partners, and otherwise he’d be treating Adam like shit. BTW, if you haven’t already, I think it’s time to start drinking every time CT asks Adam if they’re friends yet.
The Cancun J’s are up next and despite Jasmine’s freaking out and a late release-pull, they do all right. MikeRoy are up next and poor, terrified MikeMike tells Leroy to pull the release if he passes out because he’ll wake up when they hit the water. MikeMike is turning into such a badass, Gasmii, and it’s as heartwarming and delightful as everything else he does. As MikeMike is suspended over the water, there are many Jesus jokes and he sticks his arms out like a cross and it’s awesome. Teej looks like he can’t believe he’s still standing here listening to these idiots after all these years.
“I am not high enough for this. Please, someone, bring me my bong.”
MikeRoy kick ass once again, with Mike even kind of throwing Leroy a little further ahead in the water as they release since Leroy’s a slower swimmer. See? So SMART. Laurel and Skull Beads are next, and allegedly Skull Beads is allowed to lead this one. They do really well despite a red ribbon apparently wrapping itself around Skull Beads and making it difficult for her to swim.
Pinky and the Brain are up next, and “Mr. Beautiful” is all sad about failing so goddamn much this season. Oh, have you guys heard that Wes is the greatest swimmer in all of the entire universe?
“The only reason Michael Phelps won all of those gold medals is because I was here, on the Challenge, instead of at the Olympics. He never would have stood a chance against the likes of me.”
Kenny is happy that he did not fail at the challenge, in which there was no way to DQ anyway. But more importantly, MikeMike is giving Paula a lapdance, and they’re talking about liking each other. I cannot do it justice, Gasmii, it must be seen to be appreciated. The best I can do is give you this:
Never before have I wanted to switch places with Walnuts, but there’s a first time for everything.
Ev and Walnuts are up next, and Paula is terrified. Ev does her best to calm her down, and they do really well. Walnuts tells us she and Ev are working really well together and are probably the strongest girl team. Seriously, separately they’re always questionable, but together they have been really awesome. Also, for everyone who always complains that no one ever tries to go against the Douche Trio, I think we need to give Ev some credit. She has tried multiple times and it always seems to end up burning her. Even this time, she’s told them several times that their plan is stupid, but she’s not on a team with them so what does she care?
Bananas and Tyler are up next, and Bananas tells us his throat is in his stomach. Other way around, Sananab Ynnhoj. Then he hits the release on their harness waaaay too soon and they have to swim most of the way. Bananas makes the premature ejaculation before I can, which is just no fun. Jenn and Mandi are up next, and Jenn takes great delight and running and tackling the terrified Mandi. They do quite well for themselves.
Evan and Nehemiah are up, and Evan tells us they are no longer on speaking terms, but he makes the decisions. Nehemiah tells us that jumping from high places is why he does challenges, because apparently that’s spiritual. Kenny says Evan’s taking a risk, because CT might win, but that’s what has to be done. It’s not THAT much of a risk, because if CT wins they’ll just pick MikeRoy, but whatever. Also:
Just sayin’
After they land in the water, Nehemiah swims toward the finish line while Evan swims around like an idiot, jokingly asking which way it is to the Jungle. Everyone feels bad for Nehemiah as Evan tells us they’re doing the right thing. Yes, that’s so very noble of you. Evan remarks that they will have an awkward boat ride back to shore. When they get there, Neh throws his life vest at Evan, who is all hurt that he would do such a thing. Bananas yuks it up with Evan as he says Neh has no reason to be shocked by this.
Teej gathers everyone for announcements. All of the girls except for the Cancun J’s had good times, but the winners are Laurel and Skull Beads. Teej then says that Evan and Nehemiah lost due to Evan’s flopping around, and he doesn’t know what happened. Neh helpfully explains that they’re “playing the game with a bunch of bitches, and I’ve got the biggest one on my team.” The promo editors thank you for that, sir.
As for the winners, despite CT and Adam’s performance, Pinky and the Brain have miraculously managed to win. They are positively DELIGHTED, and give a giddy interview in which they seem like total BFF’s. Also, this is doing WONDERS for Wes’ ego. I’m going to have to borrow Jon Stewart’s Trump Egometer for this one:
We’ll put Wes around… level 3 right now?
Evan and Nehemiah bitch at each other for a bit before the Almighty Wes steps in. When Evan wonders what he’s doing wrong, Wes tells him he knows he’s right, but he’s lowering himself to Nehemiah’s level right now. Wes claims that he would have backed Neh up if he said anything in the two weeks since they concocted this plan, and then says Neh is his “best friend.” Oh man, Danny is definitely going to cry when he sees this, home alone in his bachelor pad since Melinda left him.
Neh tells us he wished he had drowned Evan and sent him home in a box. I’m sure your spirituality would have benefited tremendously from that, dude. He says keeping his cool with Evan is much worse than going against CT.
Back at the house, CT and Laurel are birdwatching as the sun sets. Yes, I’m serious. CT tells us he’s over Mandi and gets the crazy eyes when he starts talking about Laurel. They banter about her wearing his jersey as Mandi sits around with stankface. She says Laurel can have him, she’s not going to compete, which is what girls always say when they realize they would have no chance regardless. Then she says if CT wants to waste his time with a “200 pound girl who acts like a 7 year old with ADHD Order, have fun.” She says that, but what I hear is:
“I’m not going to be ignored, CT.”
Also, of all the things to make fun of with regard to Laurel, her weight is not one of them. She’s just freaking tall, and is in great shape. I’ll grant her the “7 year old with ADHD” part, but I”m not sure what she thinks that stands for if she felt the need to add “order.”
Teej gathers everyone for the vote, and CT makes everyone vote for him to his face. Roy Lee tells us if they want to be dumb enough to throw themselves in against CT, they can go ahead. He’s rooting for CT to come back so they can break up the alliance. CT then calls the douches out for being scared of him, which Bananas hilariously tries to deny. Teej comes back, again commenting on the fast “vote,” and says the battle will be “ugly.”
Drunken shenanigans. Mandi is WASTED and slurs that CT shouldn’t “be with” her and then another girl. CT says he’s trying to sever all ties with her “before I wake up with my bed on fire.” HA! CT tells her he regrets hooking up with her and to “know your role.” Wow, what a dick. I am completely shocked by this turn of events. (Although, when you look at this season in isolation, CT hasn’t been so bad. The only thing he’s done is yell at Wes after being provoked, and Wes deserves to be yelled at even when he’s NOT provoking someone.)
Wes tells us he’s protective of Mandi because they’re friends, and she slurs to him about what a big old meanie CT is, even though she told everyone she didn’t care when they tried to warn her about THIS VERY THING. CT interrupts to say he wouldn’t hook up with Laurel since she’s too good for him anyway and he’s a bad boy. CT reminds Wes how much badder he is, and for once Wes doesn’t even argue.
AAAAGGGGHHHH!!!! SNAKE!!!! I am seriously scared of snakes, guys.
Laurel says she guesses if this were a game, she won. She got the guy. Mandi goes on a long, slurring, tearful rant at Evan about how she TOTALLY DIDN’T FUCK CT, Y’ALL. Do you understand? She goes on and on while Bananas stands behind her cracking up and mocking her and reminding everyone what an asshole he is.
![rivals ep 6 barney[2]](http://www.tvgasm.com/wp-content/uploads/rivals-ep-6-barney2-300x172.jpg)
Meanwhile, Evan is doing his best Barney the dinosaur impersonation, hoping it will make everyone love each other and be a happy family.
Mandi gets into Wes’ bed for some quality spooning, while Jasmine hides under the bed next to them because she’s “nosy,” and she didn’t get to see Mandi and CT. HA! Okay, Jasmine is getting funnier. Wes finds her (after she lightly rubs his back) and pulls her up by her pants. Jasmine tells some other people, and Jenn heads in to spy, finding Wes and Mandi hooking up. Wes claims it’s because “that’s what friends who are beautiful do with each other.”
![rivals ep 6 beautiful[2]](http://www.tvgasm.com/wp-content/uploads/rivals-ep-6-beautiful2-300x165.jpg)
Okay, Wes, but what does that have to do with you?
Evan tells us Mandi is only proving further that she is a slut. Tyler recounts all of the house hookups for us, calling it the Jerry Springer show. (OMG, can we have a paternity test to find out if Evan’s babydaddy is Kenny or Bananas? I mean, we all know it’s Kenny, but Bananas has to think he might be the father, right?) All of the pairings earn the “vomit” distinction from him, but only CT and Laurel get the honor of “double vomit.”
Adam and Jenn talk about his Jungle, both saying they think he’ll win. Jenn says she came in aligned with the other guys, but she doesn’t mind having Adam around because she likes him. Someone’s quite the flipflopper on that one, I must say.
Jungle time! It’s called Rail Slide. Each team is holding onto a pipe 25 feet off the ground. Teej tells them they don’t want to fall that far because it sucks. Awwww, Teej! They have to slide the pipe along some rails down to the finish line. Evan tells us this is their plan, and now it’s do or die. Adam says he totally wants to stay so he can get more side boob from Jenn. Except he says it like the chick flick he thinks this is: “When this game started, I had 50,000 reasons to come back to the house. As of today, I have 50,000 and 1.” I’m sure he thinks that sounds all romantic, but he has essentially just said that Jenn is worth $1.
“I totally heard Richard Gere say that once.”
The teams start swinging, and Nehemiah reminds us that Evan did not invest the proper amount of time getting in shape for this one. He says Evan needs to man up because “this is the only time that it matters.” They’re a total mess and even KENNY is yelling the incredibly obvious advice that they need to swing together.
CT and Adam are faring better. CT keeps getting a bit ahead, but Adam manages to catch up. The editing does its best to make it look close, but it seems pretty clear that CT and Adam are way ahead. Bananas suddenly starts questioning their brilliant plan and Ev, who knew this was a bad idea all along, tells us Evan looks like a beached whale. Couldn’t have said it better myself, Ev.
Of course, CT and Adam win and CT is super giddy about it, once again asking Adam if they’re friends. (DRINK!) Needless to say, Nehemiah is pissed that he got screwed over by the Douche Alliance EVEN WHEN HE WAS ON IT. That has to suck. Teej sends CT and Adam back to the group and tells Evan and Neh that they have to go home. Evan says it’s been a long time since he’s gotten this speech (quick Wikipedia research tells me it’s been five years, and he’s actually only lost one elimination round before!), and Teej agrees.
Well, that’s what you get for eating Pinocchio, DICK.
Kenny literally starts crying, blaming the “wind.” Dude, you are not fooling anyone. EVERYONE KNOWS YOU AND EVAN ARE IN LOVE. It’s okay, you can admit it. I think NPH made it okay to be gay.
Also, Kenny looks much better in green than in yellow. I wish Evan had been in more elimination rounds instead of him.
Evan admits that he is fully to blame for their elimination. I hope he has the decency to say the same to Nehemiah’s face. Bananas is worried about their alliance.
Next week: Spraying each other with fire hoses! Jenn gets PISSED at Skull Beads. The teams are traveling 3000 miles to… somewhere.
Well, I can’t be the only one who enjoyed this one. Evan completely deserved what he got there. Although I do feel a bit bad for Nehemiah, it was worth it. Anyone sorry to see him go? And just when you thought Wes’ ego couldn’t get any worse, they had to go and win a challenge, so that should be fun. Oh, and blahblah CT/Mandi/Laurel drama. He was definitely a dick to Mandi, but she was warned. Multiple times. Also, this week’s challenge was fun to watch and looked fun to do. What did you guys think of everything?

“For example, in my day-to-day life I do not live in fear of you confusing me with a bonbon and trying to eat me.”………..BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, on to reading
I’m so happy that Evan went home (I do feel bad for Nehemiah though)!! I’m so sick of Evan, Kenny, Johnny & Wes and want to see them all get eliminated! I haven’t really liked CT in the past… but I am definitely rooting for him this season! All I can say is that CT is a beast, they should all be scared of him!
I can’t get over the picture of TJ on page three; I love how his shirt says “Stay Strong.” LOL!
Back to reading!
Melissa I’m with you, with this CT-hate…they are making me root for him. I’m actually hoping for the day when Adam admits he’s his friend or at least something close. Good gravy, did you see how pregnant Evan looked in that harness? Was he the only one with his belly hanging out? FYI, I am not the smallest chick around these parts(so I can fat joke away). I really felt bad for Neh, that is only due to the fact that he wasn’t in on the purpose DQ. Yes, I’ll admit he was all in for the ‘Operation get rid of CT’….can you let a dude know when you are going to enact the event
Smell ya later doughboy!
I can’t watch this shit anymore without yelling at my TV. I think I hate those 3 more than Jill Zarin and Kelly and that’s saying alot. Fuck them for turning every challenge their on into a “watch us pussy out and somehow scare everybody into backing our lame pussy pants lience because we’re too weak and scared as fuck to actually compete fairly” These motherfucks get their tampons in a twist whenever somebody doesn’t back up their shit plans. HATE! I hate the girls that back them just as much. How many times was Paula screwed over yet she still does whatever they say!? Goddamn comcast turtle looking bitch. Retire already! and Johnny pinky penis really needs to get a fucking forehead reduction, those bandanas and knit caps aren’t making that thing look any less front porch-ish. (Sorry for any misspellings, I am on my iPod and we l know how much of an asshole auto correct is)
Thank you VA for having this hilarious recap up so fast. LOVED this episode. Seeing Evan’s fat ass leave was glorious. At first I was hoping Nehemiah would throw the jungle just to piss Evan off. Then when they lost I wished Nehemiah would punch Evan dead in his nose then say show me now how you would put me in my place. Kenny crying was too funny.
VA please tell me you watched the aftershow hosted by the Miz. Mandi showed up with her brand new boobs, which Evan so happily called out. Where she and a blonde Laurel had the most desperate, fame whoring in need of attention make out session. I was pissed and embarrassed for them. Ehhh!
Evan’s so fat, when Teej told him to haul ass, he had to make two trips.
Do we need to get the fat jokes all out now or will you keep spreading them (like butter and mayo!) throughout the season for kicks and giggles? Can we switch to dumb/slut jokes about Mandi instead?
I used to not like CT (I watched the Paris RW and didn’t like him from the start), but maybe that tragedy in his family has made him a little more self-aware. I’m warming up to him now, mainly because Wes is such a lavender scented Summer’s Eve. However, I will never object to shirtless CT scenes. It’s like he’s showing off his good side; he’s asking me if I’ve got laundry to do, purchased tickets to the gun show, and brought some band-aids (cuz he’s CUT). Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
It would have been GREAT if Nehemiah punched Evan after they lost. Although it’s better that he DIDN’T throw the jungle because it made Evan look like even more of a fool since he was the one who couldn’t keep up.
I haven’t had a chance to watch the Aftershow yet (had to concentrate on getting the recap done) but I’m planning to watch it tonight. I was so, so excited to see that the Miz was hosting! Not that I don’t enjoy some Father Time (Mark Long) every once in awhile, but I love and miss the Miz. It sounds awesome, I can’t wait to watch!
Feel free to get your fat jokes out now, but I may put more in the recaps if inspiration strikes. And they are always welcome in the comments as well.
A wonderful recap to a fun episode. The Jungle was a true “Battle of the Bulge.” At least Johnny can take solace in that a lot of fat got trimmed.
@Elmstreet … Mandi such a dumb slut when my uncle said he was unemployed she gave him a blow job
VA if MySpace was still the happening you would be in my top 8. CT in tiny black undies equals MP in overdrive ..
Ha! I read the second to last caption as, “Well, that’s what you get for eating Pinnochio dick!” (I didn’t notice the comma) and I was like, “Well, that’s an interesting insult.”
Loved this episode! And loved the recap, VA!!!
Can I be an honorary member of the MP? Or should I say a band wagon jumper on-er?? I didn’t like CT at the beginning of the challenge b/c he has been so awful in the past. I feel like he has mellowed out a little and is always getting provoked instead of being the instigator. And please Adam, for the love of God, just say that you are friends w/ CT.
I actually watched the after show and it was pretty interesting. CT admitted that he only went after Mandi to piss off Wes. Also, it seemed like CT genuinely liked Laurel as a person. Wes actually said something kind of funny in a funny way and not in a “were are laughing at you” way -he told CT that no matter how hard he tried, Adam would never be his friend b/c he has PTSD from the fight w/ CT.
Um, when did Neh and Wes become bff and why would Neh stoop to Wes’s level??
Ev is so wise. I love that she is saying things that we have been saying for weeks. I also liked that Neh called out Fattie Evan.
So glad FE is gone
AHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I didn’t realize that Kenny has DQ’ed every competition. And I am sad that Wes’s ego is going to grow to larger proportions than Costa Rica and eventually take over all of Central America.
YES!!!!!!!!! Can we please, please, please make Mandi/slut jokes. Now that Evan is gone, what are we going to do!?!?!?
Mandi’s such a slut her favorite appetizer is whorederves.
Did anyone notice that when they were back at the house laughing about what Looser Vandross did to get in the jungle to send home Adam and The reason I watch otherwise known as CT, that Adam was standing there laughing like yeah lets get CT!?!? I cannot stand that little Gumble brother …
Mandi is such a slut her zip code is 9021HOE
Mandi is like a doorknob…everyone gets a turn.
Dumbest strategy EVER! Still dont see how anyone could’ve thought this was a good idea.
@ Kdog, I was also hoping when I saw how pissed Nehemiah was that he would throw the Jungle. Most disappointed that TJ didnt make a comment about how stupid they were, either when they were eliminated or when they threw the challenge.
I hate that I am starting to like CT!
OMG, the pinky and the brain reference, so on point! Hahaha, Wes and Kenny, such an odd couple, hahahahahaha…so funny that Kenny actually cried when Evan was eliminated!
The whole Mandi/CT/Laurel thing is ridic, but I could totally see CT and Laurel being a couple, they are veeeeery similar. Alpha male meet alpha female. I have never been a fan of Mandi she is super annoying. Ugh at the thought of her and Wes producing spawn.
Oh and absolutely hilarious recap as always, thank you@
To watch Evan pathetically flail around after his cocky show of throwing the challenge only made the defeat against him that much more sweet. I don’t care about Nehemiah so I wasn’t bothered.
I never watch the Aftershow, but for some reason I did this time. Yup, hated Miz when he was on the challenges and he’s still as obnoxious to me…anyway, the point us that Wes brings up that Adam pretty much has PTSD from his altercation with CT so that friendship will probably not be sailing anytime soon.
I was secretly hopping Nehemiah would throw the jungle just to piss off Evan. As much as I like seeing CT on the screen, according to MTV editors, the less we see him, the more chance he has for not loosing.
Mandi’s favorite city is New WHORE-leans.
So, I have to confess I befriended CT on Facebook. His girlfriend IRL does not like the attention he is getting online at all and tweeted this classic, (which I kept hearing her screaming in my head while watching the after show) Please watch it if you haven’t already : http://www.mtv.com/videos/the-challenge-rivals-ep-6-after-show/1667973/playlist.jhtml#series=2212&seriesId=36375&channelId=1
“Dear Sluts, Control your WHOREMONES!!!!!!”
OMFG, She is one pissed off mamma. I hated watching that awkward kiss between Mandi and Laurel on the after show. I hated even more how Laurel made Miz qualify the kiss first. Mandi got chewed up and spit out for the dumb bitch she is. That was loooooong over due. I agree with you VA we needed more on why CT jumped ships in the beginning of the episode.
My current and still reigning fave underdogs Mike Roy are the BOMB! I heart them 4 EVAH!
EVAN is so FAT, he had to buy a second seat for the plane ride home!
TO ALL: The MP is an equal opportunity club; any and all are welcome. It’s like AA, we’re all at our own level of recovery with our addiction to CT.
@ VA thanks for the link AND getting the recap up so quickly! Ask and ye shall receive.
*the point IS, damn you autocorrect.
Yeah, it’s all cute and endearing to us objective viewers (MP specifically) that CT keeps bugging Adam to say they’re friends – but what he did to him in New Zealand was very real and, for Adam I’m sure, terrifying. No matter what CT was going through, that wasn’t Adam’s fault and I think he’s under no obligation to become his friend after something like that. But on that same note, when he whines about not being able to get away from CT, I think of one very easy way he could get away from CT. Stop…..doing challenges and get a real job?
Is anyone else having a difficult time understanding their conversations because the background music is so loud?
Mandi is such a whore…after she went to the Virgin Islands and it had to change the name.
CT has acted like a complete jackass in the past. When he got in Dan from Miamis face one challenge or punching poor Davis in another one. BUT I did not feel bad at all when he attacked Adam-after that little shit provoked him. Didn’t he run to CT’s ex to instigate drama and get in Cts space and pour a drink on him? Adam reminds me of those little shit dogs that bark and nip at bigger dogs until the bigger dog snaps and bites the yappy little fucker for being so goddamn annoying!
Adam is kind of a dipsh-t.
I was cracking up when I saw the look on TJ’s face during the challenge. I could just see his brain saying, “I woke up from a coma to do this shit!”
To Adam, If you’re talking about Jenn being a reason to come back, let’s be real there’s really TWO big reasons for coming back.
Seeing Kenny actually crying because Evan was gone had me on the floor in fits of laughter. Clearly he’s upset because he won’t be able to have Evan’s lips caress his cheek long into the night anymore.
Not defending CT at all in the Adam fight but Adam was removed as well for starting the shit his face finished … he was not innocent. Editor of Moist Monthly
Mandi is such a dumb slut she will have sex with you for bus fare and then walk home
Okay, I think Adam is a little bitch and he gives me the icks. That said, I don’t understand how anyone who was not there in person can claim he instigated the fight. I JUST watched the episode the other day for a little refresher and it’s not clear at all. He was removed because he fought as well, but he didn’t throw the first punch so the fact that people are saying he “started it” is kind of gross. He didn’t start anything physical. Then again, I expected no less for voicing an opinion against CT (horror of horrors). I understand CT’s situation and I absolutely think people can change but my argument was that Adam doesn’t have to be friends with him, regardless of whether or not he was “innocent”. Being a drama instigator and being a physical instigator in my mind are completely different. One is annoying, the other is dangerous.
This might also be just because I haven’t seen Laurel’s other challenges, but I think she’s wayyyyy hotter then Mandi. I haven’t seen anything about Laurel that would be a turnoff, but again I haven’t really seen her before this. Mandi just screams “crazy eyes”. She is a stage 5 clinger
Adam starts shit, period. If you constantly are a “drama instigator” don’t be shocked when your bullshit pushes somebody to haul off and hit you. With that being said, CT’s fucking hot…
I don’t care what you all say: Wes>CT. The end.
Wes is disgusting. And CT is getting hotter every week, purrrr! I laughed so hard when Ev said that Evan looked like a beached whale. She’s by far my favorite girl this season!
And yeah, Evan has only lost one elimination in the past, to CT! Stupid of him to think he could actually win. I like to think the producers or whatever chose this jungle after they found out who was going in just to laugh at Evan’s big ass flailing around.
I actually think people who like CT get a lot more self righteous slide glances than people who don’t … just my opinion just like its my opinion that Adam is not 100% victim. With that said Mandi is so dumb she thought masterbation was a Kung Fu teacher
D-Day wasn’t over until the fat lady (Evan) sang
Poopsicle – I loved your comments! I so want to yell at my computer every time those stupid girls side with those losers. I mean, really? Those guys would turn on every single girl there if given a chance.
I wish CT would have told Johnny “You aren’t scared of me? Then go into the jungle against me and let me make you my backpack again.” I kept waiting for someone to remind Johnny of how bad he got beat by CT. Also, I HATE Adam for his ridiculous loyalty to the douche brothers. I agree with whomever said he was like the dog in “kibbles and bits, kibbles and bits….”
Oh and the reason Wes and Nehemiah said they are best friends is because they were on the same season together (Austin). I think that is the only reason Neh went along with the plan. He normally doesn’t join majority. He stands alone and seems to have integrity.
I saw the after show where Evan and Wes said they were afraid of CT after he lifted the 400lb swan (the one they put in Mandi’s bed) with one arm and then proceeded to carry it out the door. If you didn’t see it I believe it took 4 or 5 of them to put the thing in the bed in the first place.
CT is a trainer at my gym and I can tell you he is even hotter in person than he is on TV. Truly. Completely understandable why girls fall for him…
Mandi is like a bowling ball–she gets picked up, fingered, tossed in the gutter and comes back for more!
@Evan’s 2nd Chin Isn’t that a description for most of the people on here?
Warren – that we’re hotter in person than on TV? Totes true in my case
Adam is a sniveling little bitch and a follower. He so desperately wants to be one of the cool kids that he’s become a douche-clinger, which is worse than being one of the douches in my opinion.
Can someone refresh my memory why the Beached Whale and Neh were rivals in the first place? I don’t remember their beef (ew).
Sadly, on the aftershow, it looked like the Whale had lost a few hundred pounds. Boo. His..
I have to say I’m with Judgy. I don’t care what Adam did, no one deserves to fear for their life like that or get beat the eff up. It also didn’t seem to me that Adam did whatever CT thought he did on that episode, just that CT assumed he did because he was riled up and Adam was arguing with him anyways, which he wasn’t down for. On top of that, even CT says he was wrong for that. And really, a person doesn’t have to be justified in everything they do or always do the right thing for me to think they’re deserving of my reality TV crush.
That being said, I have to admit CT has really grown on me! I came into the season not liking him bc of his Real World season and because he didn’t just hit Adam, he seriously looked like he would have beat him unconscious or dead if someone hadn’t stopped him, and that is not okay, in my personal opinion. BUT, he has been sooo much calmer this season and totally hilarious. I loved that he made everyone give their vote to his face. And I have to admit, his body is freaking banging. I’ve always liked Adam as kind of an underdog, but I definitely agree it’s stupid for him to think the DT give a crap about him. Though I totally understand why he wouldn’t trust CT or be friends with him just yet, I’d think he should at least enjoy the winning, since tiny little Adam never wins.
Also, as always, MikeRoy FTW!
Evan’s Second Chin – awesome ass name!!!!!!!!
I am glad that so many comment on this show. Makes it fun.
Mandi’s such a slut, she has people take numbers to get into her bedroom.
After reading the comments there’s a couple points I want to clear up:
1)Adam did NOT instigate that fight with CT in New Zealand. Diem had recently broken up with CT and he was still really upset about it. CT has sex with Shauvon the first night(the whore from the Australia season who popped her implant on one of the challenges…hehe) on the ROOF of all places. Somehow this got back to Diem who was upset to hear about it and Adam had the unfortunate luck of being the one talking to Diem (about something completely different) when CT found out someone had told Diem. He automatically assumed Adam had done it (when he hadn’t) and flipped out on him. Adam may have argued back and may have thrown a punch at some point but CT was on a murderous rampage and Adam was fearing for his life. That said, I am a member of the MP and totally love CT this season. He has redeemed himself in my eyes by apologizing to Adam for the innocent and seemingly being really friendly to him during this whole challenge. Clearly the combination of losing his brother and Diem breaking up with him (adding alcohol to the mix) was too much for him to handle.
2)Wes and Nehemiah are best friends because they were both from the Real World Austin cast.
I watched the aftershow last night and it was definitely really good. I thought Laurel looked really nice with the lighter hair and liked that she stood up for herself and said that she was a tall girl (5’11″) and 150 pounds of muscle. As a tall girl myself (although not as tall as her) I can’t stand when everyone assumes if you weigh more than 125 you are a whale. Duh height matters! If I weighed 125 I’d look like a heroin addict. 150 is actually really thin for 5’11″…I weigh the same as her and I’m only 5’8″ and no one has ever called me fat/overweight. More often than note I’m the “thin” one out of my friends. Must just be that all the girls on these shows (other than Ev and Laurel) are anorexic.
I LOVED that Wes admitted he was scared of CT. He said if CT had hit him during the fight he would have hoped for a one punch knockout and even if he was still awake he would have pretended he was knocked out. Nice to see a teensy little bit of humility from him.
Also, I hope Mandi’s new boobs don’t mean that she and Jenn win. I’m rooting for Ev/Paula or Laurel/Cara Maria just because Ev and Laurel are obviously the two baddest bitches there and I finally want them to compete so we can find out who really is better. Obviously Mandi must have made some significant cash though so I’m thinking it’s likely they at least get second. I even think she had other plastic surgery too…her face looked different to me on the Aftershow. I can’t pinpoint any particular procedures she had, but she looks way less Horse-like to me.
@ Jersey, I agree, Laurel did look better with the lighter hair. I too hope Jenn and Mandi did not win, but honestly if they are up against Ev/Paula and Laurel/Cara Maria, I don’t believe they came in before third. Just my opinion. I actually watch that crap show hosted by Katie and Robin on rtvzone and they had Jenn and Mandi on. They discussed how Jenn led some charge to get their pay for doing these shows significantly increased. So I am guessing some of that money could have gone towards Mandi’s new boobs. Jenn also outted Laurel as being bulimic and extremely insecure. I like watching it because of the behind the scenes insight, but Katie and Robin are TERRIBLE moderators.
@kdognatl, I’ve watched the rtvzone thing too, but they only have the first 3 episodes posted. Sounds like they’ve done more from your post (since I didn’t see Jenn/Mandi on it) but I can’t find the episodes. Where are they?
@ Jerseyj God love ya I need to read that in chapters.
@Evan’s Second Chin, Latitude right?
@MP Headquarters, I know, I get a little carried away! I know way too much about these Challenges/the competitors and I always feel the need to share!
Jersey, here is the home page. http://rtvzone.com/
Scsroll to the third video down, under the 2 BB videos.
@ Jerseyj, don’t apologize, I love it and you’re spot on for sure IMO. I just can’t get caught reading that much at a time LOL. I need my job.
I too hope the boob job doesn’t mean Mandi won. I don’t hate Jenn as much though, her eyebrows are weird but she’s not the worst of the females.
Thanks @kdognatl, just watched it during my late “lunch” at work
As usual Katie and Robin were horrible hosts, but definitely interesting to hear all the insights. Can’t believe Jenn straight up called Laurel out for being bulimic! Not surprised that she is insecure though…would be hard being around all these 100 pound girls and not feel fat (even if, like Laurel, you clearly are NOT). Now we just need someone to call Jenn out for those horrible painted-on Chola eyebrows :p
Whoa whoa whoa WHOA! Houston is at least 85 lbs, let’s get serious here
To the people wondering where Neh and Wes’ friendship came from, they were on the same season (Austin) and I think they’ve been cool with one another ever since.
Mandi is such a Heidi Montag wannabe, and seriously, who would want to be Heidi Montag?
My feelings toward CT are like those towards Ronnie from Jersey Shore. I’ve witnessed him do crazy shit and act like an animal, but then you compare him to everyone else and wonder who’s worse. And no matter how hot he is, I would never date him or even fool around with him. Okay, well maybe if I was drunk (okay, maybe I’d just pretend to be drunk), but he has some serious rage issues I don’t want to be on the receiving end of.
Okay, I lied. I’d totally hook up with him. What? I have daddy issues.
Whoa, hold up…as a member of the MP I have to stick up for CT here. He may have anger issues, but as far as I can remember his “episodes” have always been against men, NOT women. Not that it makes it right, but it’s a lot better than Ronnie and his abusive relationship with Sammie. Also, Ronnie is a roided up midget. (like most of the guys at the shore…which sadly I can speak to because I grew up there) CT is hotter by leaps and bounds!
Jersseyj-good point. I remember the Paris episodes when the chicks were screaming and CT told them to stop yelling, it doesn’t solve anything. Insightful, for him.
I believe you should never hit anyone so was CT wrong to hit Adam, of course but, BUT, the kid just lost his brother, was being egged on by the son of a member of the Commodores, and there was alcohol involved. None of these are excuses but they do increase the likelihood that something awful was going to happen. IMO Adam prolly has PTSD from the punch but let’s get real (MP membership aside) CT’s brother was murdered and he was shot in the back. I have to believe that’s cause form some PTSD on CT’s side.
Ronnie and Sam are a hot mess. I hope to Hello Kitty they don’t let those egomaniacs on these challenges-ever.
Also Liz- You gotta be kidding me. I spit my drink out after reading your comment. Mandi is a poor woman’s Heidi Montag! Priceless! That is just on a whole other level.
Who’s Liz? I made the Heidi Montag comment
.
Listen, to be honest, I’m not hardcore pro or anti any of these people, so don’t think I’m attacking your beliefs or something – I’m just passing time at work commenting.CT has proved time and time again he’s a little, um, unstable to say the least. Remember when he showed up with Tina out of nowhere on the last challenge, and people were all WTF, this guy’s an animal!? It wasn’t just the incident with Adam, either that gives me an uneasy feeling. I just feel like he is ALWAYS on the verge of snapping and going batshit crazy. I would not want to be on his bad side, male or female. Whenever I see him get a little ticked off, I get the same feeling I do with Ronnie – I get a little nervous that he’ll just reach over and snap someone’s neck, like no big deal.
And I’m sorry but I’d LOVE to see some JS peeps on the challenges, but they are too “Hollywood”. Hell, I’d love to see some Teen Moms duke it out on there, too. You know Amber would bring some awesome drama to the mix!
CT reminds me of my friend’s boyfriend. Homeboy has some serious road rage. He freaked the fuck out at someone on the road, while she was in the car. He then turned to my friend and said, “Don’t worry, I’d NEVER treat you like that…” I was like, um, sure….RED FLAG!!!!!
I agree @sardini, all MTV celebs should be on the challenges at some point. I really think they should have gotten the Jersey Shore kids right after the first season. Now there’s no incentive for them to go on the challenges because they get 30K per episode and they probably get thousands in appearance fees. These dimwits from road rules and real world have to come on the challenges just to get a little coin.
@ Sardini apologies, there are a zillion comments here and I got the wrong name. I’ll give credit where credit is due, that comment was awesome.
I completely agree with you, I am just passing time at work and have my own take. Nothing personal going on here, I respect everyone’s views but I don’t have to agree with them, nor you with me.
@ Classy D, I think they (being the RW/RR casts) tried to take a stand to get paid 5K at some reunion show back when Curt Loder (sp?) was still on MTV… You’re right the JS cast has no incentive to go on the challenge shows. Don’t get me wrong I love that crazy show but I think at this point having them on the challenges would take away from the dynamic of the current members. I love that the Challenge kids are so desperate for 2k or a exemption from elimination, they act as if what they are doing is as important and solving world hunger. I just can’t see Snooki getting up after a bender to be hung from a harness while having a fire hose shot at her. I can hear the “This is not a good time.” already…
Yeah, the RR / RW kids basically do these challenges to hold on to any iota of fame they may have in between guest bartending gigs.
@Gypsy, I wouldn’t expect Snookie but I could def see the guys on there and they would try and hook up with the sluts. The only girl I see going on there is J Wow. But not everyone from the seasons do the challenges, so it wouldn’t be necessary to have all of them on there.
Yeah, J-Woww is total Challenge material! She and Coral could beat bitches up.
@Sardini – I guess this means I have to stop impersonating you on forums. Dangit! Lol.
