What I loved most was Tyler talking about how proud he was of himself, even after he was outwitted by mental midget Derrick. I wonder if he gives himself a standing O every time he successfully brushes his teeth.

Also, did anyone else notice stupid Tina talking about how Beth got an attitude in the "mist" of Diem's big day?

Good call B-Side on Beth's makeup. What's up with the frosted eyeshadow and orange face??

Excellent recap as always, B-Side.

As soon as I heard Kina say "cardiac duress", my first thought was "B-Side is going to nail her on that in his recap."

My second thought was, of course, "Dear God, I need to get a life."

I seriously live for these recaps.

After Derrick started yelling at Beth, I was totally waiting for him to yell "You just got Diem-ed!" His rant reminded me of Diem laying into Kenny after she and Derrick were voted into Exile on Fresh Meat.

I finally signed up for a typekey account after months of silently reading. B-Side, your recaps rock my socks. After watching an episode of these shows, I eagerly wait for your hilarious recaps. I loved the comparison to Chancellor Palpatine; I giggled like an idiot.

I too am guilty of loving Beth's evil grins. And Kina is so annoying.

At the risk of getting stoned, I actually was feeling a bit glad that Beth Laden was able to stick around. If only because of the great "Go get drunk" dismissal directed at Derri-lick-my-balls. That Le Tigre pout is always on. It's so amusing to see how the other BMP whores get upset when Beth's delusional ass is around.

Tina, fat, dumb, and ugly is no way to go through life. Beth played you like a recorder.

CT+Meatball=Hunger-inducing.

b-side- applause for the captions this week, honestly LOL

I don't know what was sadder this week - rocky begging alex on laguna or tina trying to justify that lame punch she stole on beth

Am I the only one that likes CTs accent?

Thrilled that Tyler picked Derrick, hopefully the trend will continue

you are not the only one I dig CT

dsc - I thought the same thing. if she's in cardiac duress, she's screwed because nobody knows what that is. quit making up words!

. . . or should i say medical conditions . . .

I loved how Brad, Derrick's own friend, realized Derrick's chances might be slim now that there was a PUZZLE involved. And, sadder still, Derrick beat Tyler at this game. Really, how CAN Tyler hold his head up after that? And I knew Derrick with that blanket over his head was gonna get screencapped. He's such a dramatic fool. I hope he gets voted off early this season, but, now that two of the newbie guys are gone, looks like it's up to Nehemiah to send him home, or nothing.

I hate Kina. She's such a drama queen.

"Kenny, your words mean nothing!" That was hilarious. I love Kenny.

#6, are you implying that CT is appetizing?

Maybe all of this time, Kina thought "cardiac arrest" was really "cardiac duress." For that, I'm very, very sad that no one has ever corrected her.

Kenny kind of sounds like Shaggy. Beth... it's a love/hate thing with her. Love the drama she brings, hate looking at her. Wasn't she a pushover in Venice?

I'm loving all the "I hate Kina" comments. I saw her in an airport in Acapulco over the summer--by herself and scowling. That girl has a HUGE head, and looks even bitchier in person!! B-side, you are amazing.. funniest recaps ever!

I saw Kina at an airport too within the past year. She was bulling Randy around. I was the flight with her going back to Philly. It was painful to hear her speak.

I hate Jersey girls who look like the sterotypical Jersey girls.

Derek's drunken rant was right up there with the time he drunkenly talked to a frog in the grass.

This season has been really great. Sad to see Tina go but Kina can pick up the hate me slack.

What happened to the "All Pages" link? I always use that instead of going through it page by page. Is that coming back?

Rick D.

cardiac duress. hee hee.

and yes, for some reason CT as a meatball face is very disturbing...

IJustWatch (#)- I would assume no one has corrected Kina because she hangs out with RW/RR people who probably think it is "cardiac duress". These people aren't exactly rocket scientists, brain surgeons or even college graduates.
I also have a love/hate relationship with Beth but only a hate/hate relationship with Tina so was glad she left. What an idiot to chose hitting Beth over the chance for more money. Especially considering this is her only income. Ah well, it's back to the rocket scientist comment as the obvious explanation.

Funny how Tina keeps referring to Beth in piglike terms when I can't think of another human I have seen who looks more like a pig than Tina.

Cardiac duress. That hurt the fillings in my teeth.

So is Derrick banging Kina? Am I hearing that right? Or maybe she's just one of those people who call everyone else "baby."

Gotta agree with the hating Kina thing. She is annoying as hell ugh I hope she gets eliminated soon cause she just sucks. As for Tina I'm glad that she's gone cause I couldn't stand looking at her for another week.I agree with post #20 Tina does look more lika pig than Beth, and I also agree on liking CT's accent,I think he's hot! :) Sucks that for the next duel it's probably gonna be either Paula or Svetlana to go (preferably Svetlana IMO) but I'll keep my fingers crossed for Kina to go :) Great recap as always B-Side. I got my fix!

Nicely done B-side! But where was the "All pages" button?

Sad that Tina left, I rather have a good competitor that talks trash, then a manipulative hag who not only sucks at the challenges but then doesn't even own up to her incompetence!

I LOVE CT!!! He's HAWT!!! But I am from MA so I'm biased. Wish he would get a hair cut though.

I kind of liked it better when the bloggers were anonymous, don't mind your face guys, it was just more fun when we didn't see them. Just putting it out there.

Zevonia - very true, very true. I mean I don't really have any ill feelings towards Tina, but what she did was just plain stupid. AT LEAST.. if you're going to get kicked off for punching someone, especially Beth, you better go out like a G. She could've hit her with a little more force. She barely tapped Beth cuz the bitch put up her dukes - all that Tina was able to do was hit her sunglasses a little. Man at least leave Brazil with a little bit of honor.

I cannot watch The Duel and eat at the same time. For Derrick, CT, and Wes, it seems that bathing might equal a swim in the ocean. I can't imagine them to be habitual teeth brushers either. I have this same eating problem when looking at Aaron Carter.

The Duel is shaping up to be pretty interesting indeed. I’m just hoping that we’ll get some Abram/Brad-ish type duels later on. Nothings better than watching 2 morons kill each other.

Also I haven’t seen one positive Kina comment on here I think ever, even looks wise. I mean c’mon, I can’t be the only guy on here that thinks shes a pretty girl. Granted, shes real annoying sometimes, and she goes mystic tanning a little too often, but you know you’d hit that if you had the chance guys. She’s got a smoking body and her face really isn’t that bad. I know I wouldn’t shoot her down if I had the chance, and if your honest with yourself, you know you wouldn’t either.

And one last thing - I sent this email to the Sports Guy on ESPN.com a couple days ago and I don’t know why I didn’t post it here either. Its just an idea I had a while ago about spicing up “The Challenge” that I’ve been adding to for a few months now. I’m sure you all will find it pretty interesting.

“I am absolutely BS right now… In your mailbag today you let Dan from Chicago steal my idea that I proposed to you over 6 months ago when Fresh Meat premiered, and I’m from Boston to boot. He mentioned having Laguna Beach castmates on “The Challenge” next season. In the email I wrote to you, I not only expanded on the idea, but noted much more worthy reasons to have this added than seeing cokehead Jason hit on Tanya. For example, why stop with Laguna Beach? With Real World the only filler now into the challenge cesspool of “talent” why not take people from all MTV’s reality shows? Do this not only for the obvious reasons, but also because I doubt many people from Laguna are going to want to get completely embarrassed on the challenge, due to the their complete ineptitude in every aspect of life besides acts involving boards. They could set it up a lot like previous challenges: 12 Real World/Road Rules allstars Vs. LC, Jason, Cameron and Kyndra from LB, Alex, Max, Kristen and Blair from Two-A-Days, Aubrey and Aundrea from Making the Band and the guys from Rob and Big. I would say Xzibit and Wilder Valderama, but I doubt they would touch this with a ten foot pole. Who wouldn’t watch this show? I don’t even feel right talking about the possible situations that would arise if this show came to fruition, they are honestly endless. Would ANYTHING that happened on this show really surprise you? This show would destroy the “Tysonic” meter as we know it. You know whats even scarier, speaking of the Tysonic people, do you really think that if MTV approached Tyson himself and offered a plump paycheck in front of him that he would say no to “Coaching” one of these teams? Dear God I need to stop before I have an aneurism…”

great re-cap b-side! i was hoping you would post a still of tyler falling during the challenge! i had to rewind that at least 5 times and i laughed so hard every time. his arrogance is disgusting.

yes, where is the 'all pages' option? i have to keep this on the dl at work!

Cardiac duress....oh my goodness kina!? she annoys me, but she is actually looking pretty decent this season. i love tina, her justification for punching beth was pathetic, but i really enjoy her on these challenges.

Believe it or not, I thought I heard something even funnier come out of Kina's mouth when she supposedly said, "cardiac duress"... When I heard it I could have sworn she said, "cardiACT arrest"...
Either way she's an orange skinned dumb ass slut. Hope she's having fun fucking Derrick in his ridiculous tea cozy hats.

The Duel is pretty good entertainment so far!

Tina is a dumb-ass. I have no idea how she could compare punching Beth to going to spa since I'm willing to bet that A) She's never been to one, and B) She can't afford one.

I was glad to see Tyler go because I still have a hate hangover from watching him on RW Key West. Although he seems like he might have mellowed out a LITTLE, he's still ridiculously full of himself.

Kina is a steaming pile of bitch. She looks like she might have some monkey genes - if she and Derrick have kids they'll look like Spider Monkeys with fat lips.

Kenny is hot.

Tina punching Beth was great. Every season Beth is on people talk shit about her, but never do anything. Granted it was the lamest punch i've ever seen, it was still something. As far as Tina trying to say it was worth w/e the prize money is, she's right. You know next season she can come back and have a chance to win w/e prize it is then and she can say she punched Beth. Plus she got a free vacation.
Derrick is such a dork, but I think he's cute for some reason, and without people like him and Tina the show wouldn't be as interesting. In my opinion.
And as for Kina.. God.. she said the wrong word get over it.. everyone does it. It sounds like something I would say.

Forgot how much I missed TJ saying "you guyses."
CT is hot, but only meatballs wear rosary beads as necklaces.
Tyler- glad the moron is gone. Let us all hope that is the last we see of him.

I cannot believe how many Kina-hating comments there are on here. I mean she IS a total idiot, but she was barely featured on this episode.

B-Side doesn't like Kina because he has the hots for Cara who tried to save herself by jeopardizing her team's missions and ensuring that her male team members would be sent home when she formed an alliance with the opposing team on The Gauntlet II. Kina has since nursed an intense dislike of Cara since she proved herself to be a non-team-player and would not own up to her wrongdoings. Cara even went so far as to pretend not to know why she wasn't given more responsibility (to mess up the team's chances per her alliance) in the missions and why she was alienated from the group. All of this, B-Side forgave because Cara is a playboy-posing hottie.

I admit that she takes the game way too seriously and needs to tone down the overdramatic comments and the scowling, but I still don't understand why she is hated so much.

As for Beth, I didn't watch her season of RW, and I have only seen her on challenges since Inferno II, but I don't think that she is as bad as people make her out to be. I mean she's no Coral. She actually cried twice on the Gauntlet II. I think that she would like to be popular and have friends among the other cast members, but since none of them like her, she covers up her hurt by playing the villain, but I have never seen her do anything truly mean or manipulative.

As for Tyler, I have realized that I am a sucker for underdogs because I hated him on RW-Key West, but I was rooting for him in the Ascender. I also rooted for Wes on Fresh Meat. Go figure!

Diem has serious issues. To say that you first dated Derrick and then moved on to CT is not only disgusting, but sad, sad, sad. She obviously has a bad boy thing going on and is looking to have a meatball tell her he loves her. I get the icks when CT even speaks, I guess irritated by his pompous attitute when he was probably chosen for the show becuase he is such a circus side show freak.

How nice of you to join us, Supreme Chancellor Palpatine

Best. Ever. i laughed out loud when i read that and i am usually very good at keeping my lols in my head! (my office is very very quiet!)

Derrick is a dumbass, but he's a very likeable dumbass. It's refreshing to see somebody more concerned about the game than the drama.

Kina ain't attractive. The looks are there, but the charm isn't.

Beth is almost old enough to be my mom, so it's funny to see her gain the upper hand in any situation.

CT isn't appetizing; it's just that whenever I see food, I get hungry. I mean, Regina's death in "Phantasmagoria" made me hungry.

Those are the only peeps that I remember that I have opinions of, so yeah, where IS the all pages button? I know it was there when the recap was first put up, so why was it removed?

Seeing Beth get punched by anyone is pretty awesome, regardless of the power/damage of said punch; however, I still think Tina is an idiot.

Kina's makeup and Beth's face make me wish color TV didn't exist. I think my retinas are still recovering.

Is TJ perpetually stoned? I mean look at his eyes.......

As much as I was looking forward to seeing Beth get punched by Tina, that was just lame. And really, if you're going to expect your co-gamers to throw a parade for you afterwards, at least include a gut-punch or two while you're at it.

Was it Kina who was totally confused by them NOT holding deliberation meetings for the elimination game in the first episode?

In a perfect world, tina would have hit Beth, Beth would have hit her back, Kina would have jumped in because she can't stand someone else having attention. All 3 of the attention whores would have been kicked off and gone from my TV forever.
Or at least until the next challenge.
Cardiac Duress...what a tool.

1: I think CT is friggin wicked yo!

2: (I posted this last week) the way Tina's lips pucker with every man-voiced word just annoys the piss outta me.

3: I don't know why everyone else hates Kina but I hate her cause she was such an arrogant bitch in the last challenge she was on. She just hated on Cara and probably caught Randy looking @ her.

4: I don't dislike Beth. I like how her imagined powers of evil actually push everyone's buttons.

5: Aneesa just creeps me out. She's a lesbo, and an ugly one to boot. Plus she looks like she wanted to rape Diem after the mud pit challenge.

6: Love Diem! She seems like a sincerely sweet girl. I'd totally make it with CT if given the chance too!

UglyCutie - there's one big problem with Diem. She's a raging Bush supporter (as she notes on her website)...but despite that, her removal of her wig was a touching moment...
