I spent the weekend in NYC with my hubby. I was hoping to run into a Real Worlder (or at least Kelly Bensimon running in traffic) in the Big Apple, but alas, Lady Luck was not on my side. However, I did see Neil Patrick Harris, which I am now reminiscing about while drinking wine, so I am in a saucy mood tonight! Let's get this party started!
Last time on The Duel, Paula fucked up, TJ sounded like he was stoned, Evan said a lot of stupid things, and Robin went packing right after accepting her award for Best Female Monologue from the Lifetime Movie Network. But enough with the past, let's move on to the present and that god-awful opening.
It's so painful, like a really bloody car wreck--I know I shouldn't watch, but dear lord, I can't help it. OK, I'll admit it--it WOULD be very cool if it wasn't starring a bunch of douches. But, it is, so I have to watch it through my fingers like I do with any scary movie. I literally cringe in embarrassment for mankind when watching this.
The night starts with shots and beer pong, which if I remember correctly from college, means someone is going to get naked. It sounds like it will be Brooke as she flits around with a full glass of wine and complains about how she's gone a month without sex. Mark voiceovers that the competition factor may be getting to Brooke, who really just wants to hang out and party. Oh, Mark, with your age comes immense wisdom.
Brooke parks herself in Evan's lap and tells him about how much she wants to stay here. Then she interviews about how it's "Pretty brave, amazing and strong of me to be here." Yes. Brooke, you are a regular Mother Theresa. Not many people would be able to take a free vacation to NZ where they are expected to drink and party. Hold on while I get you an application for sainthood.
On a side note (the first of many in this re-cap): Why does everyone kiss Evan's ass?
In another part of the house, Neh is scheming with Davis to take out some old veterans and Paula is whining and blaming everything on Evan. Um, what? Lord knows I'm not the biggest fan of Evan, but it's not like he forced her to say Dunbar's name. Paula, I officially hate you for making me side with Evan.
Paula calls Evan a shady bastard, but assumes he'll have her back in the end. Love your logic, dear.
Landon, Evan, Brad are eating, and the boys are are telling Evan to cut Paula's dumb ass off. If Evan got up and Issac sat down, I would officially crown this as the Best. Gathering. Ever. I heart all three of those guys and hope they make it to the end.
But Evan stays put and tries to defend Paula. Landon continues to drink milk out of a wine glass, and I find this oddly attractive. (Note to Landon: Please don't hook up with Brittini. Or wait until she gets a better weave, for the love of God!)
Brad is trying to use some of his law school logic to convince Evan that Paula is a bad news. And not the kind of bad news that will let you feel her up in the back of your dad's Ford, but the kind that will cut your tires because she thought you were being a little too friendly to that girl in algebra class. Brad, I hear you loud and clear and so does Evan. It's the next day and time to head over to our next challenge, which TJ montonously tells us is called All Shook Up, but I like to call Boring. Two parallel ropes are strung over a pit of yuck, and they have to try to shake each other off. Losers land in a pile of toilet water. Yawn.

As much as I don't really "enjoy" Evan, Paula is even worse with her b*tching and complaining. Enough. We get it, you showed ya boobs to his brother,did you guys also have a creepy threesome? (shudder)Otherwise, chill out. It's a game.
Also, I agree with the "Make Rob Dyrdek the Host" campaign because TJ and his bong gotta go to the faraway land of Dave Mirra and Johnny Mosley. Although I do love me some Dave Mirra...

I'm an Evan fan, but I'm not even sure why because I don't think he's even a real RW/RRer, just a fake one they brought in for Fresh Meat and then decided it would be cool if they kept coming back.
But yeah, Dunbar and Kimberley are annoying. And so is Paula. And Diem. And Ryan was, so I'm glad he went home. Maybe I should stop watching this show...

I think PopPrincess should start a petition for MTV asking for Rob. I'd sign. I love me some Rob and his crazy ideas. (Shark Attack has been the best Fantasy Factory episode yet.)

The only thing better than Rob Dyrdek hosting the next RW/RR challenge?
Rob Dyrdek and Big Black hosting the next challenge!
I'd love to see CT try to start his bullying ways with Big Black around.

I absolutely agree with getting rid of TJ as host and replacing him with Rob!
I'd like to see Ruthie win; she's always been one of my favorite RW cast member.
For the men...Brad or Landon.
By the way, how old is Mark? and didn't he "retire"?

Hold on...is Mark old???!!!
7 of 14 | Posted by nashuaf | Posted on April 29, 2009 8:46 AM
nashuaf, to answer your question, Mark is 37 years old, which is very old to these challenges.
Anyway, I was happy to see Landon and Ruthie win, I'm rooting for Diem and Mark though.
I was mad that Evan won, because I hate him and was glad to see Brooke go home, she is useless.
Can't wait to see Rachel and Jenn together tonight and the next challenge, which looks awesome...

Does anyone else find Nehamiah as extremely annoying as I do? I thought the Austin season sucked and then from what else I can remember of him he hooked up with Beth and then tried to say she was gross or something but to me he's pretty unattractive himself. I think what bugs me so much about him though is he over dramatizes EVERYTHING. He finds ways to insert himself into situations that have nothing to do with him. I think most of them do this but it seems to me he does it more than most. Does anyone else notice this?

Damn, I love these blogs...the constant TJ Bong refferences and the Old Man Mark jokes are great!
Why is this still RW/RR Challenge? When the hell was the last season of RR on anyway?
Isac is a f-ing crack up!
Cant stand paula and dumb-bar.
Also am getting really sick of all of these people that go on show like these and get pist a others for playing shady! It is a game, they are all there to win, it is all part of the friggin game. so quit your ditching and enjoy your vacations!

PopPrincess!
Girl, I love your work! I agree about the opening, it just screams "DILDOES" to me every time I see it. At least these kids are marginally smarter (and prettier) than your average VH1 Ho/Skank/Manwhore/Dumbass. I'm personally a big fan of Big Easy, mostly because I'd like to fuck him in half.
Wow, I don't know where that came from... it must be because I feel very bold and centered today!
Awesome job! Love to you!
J-Mo :)
P.S. All this love for Landon puzzles me... wasn't he the one who has been in some serious troubles with the law over his drunken stabby behaviors? He's cute, but i remember seeing his mugshot somewhere on the netterwebs somewhere, and it was very "Sleeping With The Enemy"...

So I just read an article that Evan says that Robin was 3 months preganent but still the popping pills. Then he also says that he is leaving to do another challange April 25th.

Hate MJ and Eric with a passion. I would enjoy seeing them both castrated with no anesthesia. They annoy the hell out of me. Although I have to laugh at the fact that J-Mo said he wanted to fuck E in half. What the hell?!?!?! I don't care what you do to him as long as i never see him again. My favorite challenge ever was when that fuck thought he was going to die. I literally my ass off through that whole episode.
