Danny makes me so angry. He is quite possibly the biggest hypocrite ever! His team sent Melinda into the gauntlet in the first place!!! How could he be mad at Johanna for having Tori go in (especially when she was fighting against it)...he's clearly a few screws loose or something. And then the racist comment was too much...I'm glad Johanna walked away bc I would've slapped him. He is so ignorant.

I also think Jillian and Frank will win the whole thing.

I agree. Why did he get mad when his team is the one who put her there? You would think that after seeing Jillian win all the guantlets, they would be afraid that she would beat them and would stop choosing her. But I guess since they hate Frank so much they want to take it out on her. I think she has proven herself enough.
Tori was wrong for telling Jillian that she sent home all the weak people on their team. Jillian beating Janelle,who swore she didn't THINK she could beat her but KNEW she would, showed that size does not matter.
I thought it was funny when Tori told Jillian "come on let's go" and Jillian replied "go where? The guantlet's over." HILARIOUS!!
Can't wait for the next episode. It looks like more drama. Seems like Coral is all talk and no show. What a shame.

I really, hate Evan. I used to think he was pretty cool. That's over. The funny thing was, he called the girls "ugly". In case he was being literal, and I don't want to give him enough credit for anything but, has he seen himself in any reflective surface? The dude is fugly; I mean scary looking.

Also, Tori is becoming supremely annoying; much worse than even Kina. Why was it okay for Jillian to go into the gauntlet three times, and Tori's supposed to be exempt? Why is she so special? And I think she's copying Kina's over-exaggerated mouth/mugging/stupid facial expressions.

"For the past two weeks the veteran girls have been getting screwed like Mary Kay Letourneau at a middle school dance, and they've done shit about it so far."

Perfect.

Danny gets more ridiculous by the episode. And Melinda is almost as bad. I loved how when they announced Tori was going in that she goes "Great plan guys, throw in your two strongest girls." Umm what? On what planet is Melinda the strongest girl? I haven't seen her do shit except fake a concussion and put up with Danny's BS. I guess putting up with domestic abuse for so long makes you "strongest."

And then Danny lifting her up and wrapping her legs around him, I guess I just hate them both so much I couldn't stand it. His proudest moment of her was getting one ball that Tori let her have? Really?

And Casey pissed me off too with the "why do the rookies even show up??" like she is doing so much to help her team win. It was all about the Love Boat when Bananas was going to get thrown into the Gauntlet. She's a dumb bitch too.

Wow i was really filled with a lot of animosity after watching this episode. I would fit in well with the Rookies I guess, or maybe i'm on the same "workout plan" as Danny?

"No I'd say it's more like True Life: I'm engaged too young. Special appearances by Jason Wahler and the State of North Carolina."

HAHAHAHAHAHA...your recaps are awesomely hilarious. DP HOOKER, good call on pointing out Melinda calling herself the strongest girl on the team. I literally LOL'ed when I heard that. Seriously Mel? You? Personally I just want to see how many ridiculous hats the Veteran boys can keep coming up with. And has anyone noticed how "excited" they get everytime a new clue comes in? Especially Kenny...its really funny.

I hate Frank! I actually got excited when he was going against MJ. Much to my chagrin, MJ f*cking lost. I guess all that dip in his mouth has damaged his brain.

Tori doesn't bother me, but just the memory of Kina makes me want to vomit. She is a waste product. I never want to see her on another challenge. EVER!!!

I love your recaps, McSteeny, but this show is getting hard to watch. There is no one likeable to root for.

I couldn't believe MJ f*cking lost. The rookies are so stupid. I'm really starting to dislike Frank and Tori.

What a Great recap! You alway make me laugh Mcsteeny.
I am getting so tired of mtv giving away too much before the challenges...I always look away when they explain the rules.
And Danny, what a total douche. Maybe if Johanna had added something about sandwiches the conversation would have ended differently..."I don't speak spanish, wait did she say something about sandwiches? Bitch is alright with me..."
Looking forward to next week!

Great recap ... but definitely agreed, the show is getting more & more difficult to watch.

I love the drama, but not all the whining! This is the THIRD gauntlet, why don't they seem to have the concept that its a competition and that everyone is in it for themselves - big surprize? Everyone takes it so personal, wah, wah, wah! Crybabies ...

Will still look forward to next recap ... although I really want to hear about using this other guys credit card - well played!! :)

First of all, without the "team bank accounts" there is no real reason for any team to win each challenge. The truth is, the fewer members on your team in the end, the more money in your pocket. So I really don't understand why it's just occured to the Vet boys in the prev ep to start throwing girls' missions.

I really can't remember, any Final Mission in which it was an advantage to have more people on your team. Please tell me if I'm wrong.

Also, Tori's a big baby. Jillian was thrown into the freaking gauntlet 3xs IN A ROW and she didn't not bitch half as much as Tori did for having to go in once. And wtf cares if it's against your "best friend" (um, I thought Johanna was Mel's best friend?). It's a f. COMPETITION -- the girls always make me cringe b.c they take this shit so personally.

Yeah, Tori, Jillian going into the Gauntlet 3xs in a row prob. does mean she won't have to go in again, if it were up to the Rooks. And if it was Tori who'd gone in 3xs, you'd better bet she'd be telling EVERYONE not to send her in again.

And as much as I hate Frank, I have to give him props for digging into the sand the way he did. If MJ was smart, he would have done the same --

If Frank and Jillian are the only rookies who manage to make it to the end, and then beat the vets in the final challenge, I will be cured of liking the Real World, Road Rules, or any combination of those names.

Seriously, Frank sucks.

I only speak douchebag, lol. Another great recap, Chickbomb.

I hope your prediction is right. I would love to see the vets lose to dorky Frank and tiny, but freakishly strong, Jillian.

It's DrMcSteeny's recap...not chickbomb.

I love your recaps- but they are too short! I don't always watch the episodes and you completely pass over the gauntlets. What were the gauntlets for the girls and guys? Give me more!

semi off-topic...or off episode actually, but if i hear casey rag on the rookies one more time while being reduced to tears at the thought of going on anything HIGHER THAN A STEPLADDER, i'm gonna hurl.

these chicks give chicks a bad name. as much as i have a love/hate relationship with pirate coral, she at least knows how to compete. could've done without the sob story before the beth gauntlet though. suck it up.

i just can't believe mj blew it. i had such high hopes. i mean, if you ain't smart...you best be at least a little strong eh?

Team Frillian(Frank/Jillian...for the slow folks) for the win!!!Why so much hate towards these two, they've been drama free, engagin in some PDA and kickin ass! Stop hating, haters lol

I'm actually this season, but i have to vent a few things...

Yea some of the challenges are totally unfair because of the excess players on the vets team, but oh well....Frank and Jillian are by far my favorite couple of these challenges...

Fuck Tori and Melinda, what a bunch of bit*hes, the whine and complain and it is clearly unfair if they keep puttin frank and jillian in the gaunlet because the appear weak or you plainly dont like them...

Neh, you're a cool brother, but man you was dumB! this challenge work on those logic skills. Clearly frank is the ultimate player because he can excel in physical and mental challenge.

Danny clearly needs to stop takin those steroids and he's a prick. I like kenny and evan, funny dudes but have been assholes to the girls this season.

I like Ev, Brad, Paula, Eric, Robin and CT who is probably the biggest douchebag, but a likeable douchebag lol

Team Rookies all the way excluding Tori

I too am getting sick of the Frank and Jillian romance. And if the Rookies made the decision in the beginning that the gauntlet player could pick their opponet, they should have stuck by that rule.

Kenny is so funny. Since he is not getting a lot of air time lately, I hope that means he will be around until the finale.

C.T. keeps talking about trimming the fat, but his girl Diem is part of the fat, what's up with that?

I am so tired of the commentary from the BMP chapter of the "He-man Woman-Haters Club".

In addition, I would like to see a moritorium placed on the phrase "cutting the fat" and all its derivations.

I know it has been said an infinite amount of times, but that's because it's so true; Danny really is an idiotic douche bag. As was already pointed out, his team was the one who sent in Melinda in the first place. On top of that, after being outvoted in his own team, he couldn't fathom the idea of Johanna being outvoted on her team. If that wasn't enough, when he was talking about Tori saying she wasn't going to compete, he could've just said thank you, but he had to add "tch, go home."

Melinda definitely didn't say it in a sweet way, but the guys sure seemed to take it the wrong way. She said, IF they backstab her, THEN she would backstab them. The only reasons I could think of as to what brought that on was (1) Frank's whining during the previous female gauntlet, (2) the contact-roid rage she gets from Danny, (3) Melinda hasn't been known for always saying the right thing at the right time to the right people, and (4) that this would have been Jillian's "fourth" time (as I pointed out before, it looks good on paper that she went in "three" times, but, really, the only one who fought hardest against her was Angel and, HELLO, one of those times was against BROOKE).

I also have to defend Tori in that she wasn't complaining that she was being sent in; she's said a bunch of times that she was fine going in, but she didn't seem to want to go in that way (being picked by the team instead of the person going in) and against her friend. Definitely have to disagree about her being the next Kina, too. If anyone deserves that title, it's Frank.

Nehemiah totally should've gone in the gauntlet, but MJ just proved what I knew all along, which was that he wasn't all they were cracking him up to be when he first appeared. He was brawn, but I would've much rather had Derek there. Seriously, what is up with these rookie guys thinking they're such hot sh-t after they lose?
