Myself can't help but giggle everytime myself hears "pole wrestle."

Great recap as always B-Side. It is nice from that last screencap that Robin is riding the pole like the good ol' days.

I like the Beth, Aneesa, Fitz, Nehemiah, and Wes alliance. As much as I hate Wes for being a complete jerkoff, I think this is a very promising group.

Beth really plays the game it should be played; with strategy and not (much) stupidity. I really hope she actually maks it to the finals. The other girls, save Diem, make me sick and Kina is a complete jackass. I despised her in RR and still do now.

I'm a little confused with the alliance in this challenge. Say, one of the people from beth's alliance wins. Then it would probably mean that one of the girls from the other team will not be picked and go to the duel. The problem is that that girl will probably pick a girl from beth's alliance to go against. So it seems, that always one girl from each team will compete. So, where is the advantage of the alliance?

Ahh yes mathematics, you blindly stumbled upon the time tested challenge equation of Real World "Allstars" over Road Rules "Allstars" multiplied by idiotic ideas. The real worlders cancel out the road rulers, and you’re just left with idiotic ideas.

My favorite part of this whole retahded scheme was how into the alliance Casey was. Her group won the challenge as planned, yet they didn’t pick her. So her group basically gave her a collective FU, and then she still goes out backs the alliance after getting tossed off the show. You’d think she would have gotten the hint. Chalking that up to blondeness is an insult to dumb blondes.

Aneesa’s spill off the platform was AWESOME. The only problem was her detachable penis came loose when she hit the water… Yikes

At the end, Kina made a comment about Casey going makes Beth's alliance weaker. Which, of course, is idiotic. Casey leaving makes their alliance more convenient.

Beth was smart enough to include guys and girls at a 1:1 ratio within a difference of one. Meaning that they can always pick each other. Having Casey in the group meant there were 4 girls and 2 guys. That wouldn't work unless they added a third guy. So Casey leaving makes the plan work better.

There is still a chance that the Dueler will pick one of the alliance members, but that's always a risk alliance or no. Kina is just a hypocritical bitch. Casey should have picked Kina to go in.

Speaking of, I'm sad to see her new breasted hotness leave the show (she gave me a wicked haad on). Now I'm left with deer-in-headlights Svetlana and a bunch of "girls" that look like they should be under a bridge telling riddles with the rest of the trolls.

Haha, love the comment about the wink wink slide comment from CT. What is up with Kina's eyeshadow? It looks like she smeared on even more blue than last time. Beth did her wicked witch of the west giggle again, and I laughed my ass off when Robin did that reverse hump to Casey and the pole. By the way, I hate Diem's wigs other than that original long sandy brown one she had on at the start of the season.

Man, I watched that challenge, and I said, "So nobody did long jump during their high school years?" I mean, seriously, you get some sort of a running start and you DON'T LAND ON YOUR FACE. CT (CT!) was the only person who saw the logic in landing on your feet. I mean, CT!

Goodbye, Casey's boobs. I miss you already.

My brother was watching the show and said, "That Diem girl has really nice hair!" Fortunately, this was near the end of the episode, so it's not as though I missed anything through my hyena-like laughter.

Oh, and Derrick has no excuse for not making those jumps. One guy on my old high school varsity track team was 5'4", and had an 18-foot long jump. This, after participating in several sprints, so Derrick can't use fatigue as an excuse, either.

Great recap. That "wink wink" comment was priceless.

I hate Diem's wigs other than that original long sandy brown one she had on at the start of the season.

Man, I watched that challenge, and I said, "So nobody did long jump during their high school years?"

What's with Kina's bright blue eyeshadow? Someone should tell her it's not helping the orange tan.

This episode was soo boring. People need to get over the Diem cancer thing. Seriously, its old.

But I can't wait until next week...NEHEMIAH DUMPS BETH!!!Haah in the previews Blotchy Beth looks devestated and asks Neh, "So you just want to cut it off... like... cold turket?" So happy the
unholy union has ended.

I dont get why casey didnt choose diem for the duel. That was her best shot, robin had to be the worst choice..

I also thought the alliance didnt really work well considering one of the girls chosen in the duel would end up picking a girl from beth's alliance.

When aneesa was hyping up her upcoming performance and then had an amazing fall, I cracked up!

hilarious recap, myself enjoyed it a great deal!

i didnt watch the whole ep, but i did see the competition and thought it was one of the funniest in a long while. seeing these idiots fail to jump and nail themselves on the edge of the platform with some noticeable bounce-offs by aneesa and others was really the icing on the horrible reality cake!

I HATE Kina. She sucks. I don't hate her in a fun way either, she's not fun to laugh at; she's stupid; she mangles the English language; she is hideously, heinously ugly. HATE HER!!!!!!!!

I am totally sick of Diem's oh-so-moving battle with CANCER. She is using her CANCER to exploit everyone else's sympathy. She's getting a free pass in this competition because no one wants to be the asshole who kicked CANCER off the show. I find it ironic that Diem gravitates to the girl on the show who most reminds me of malignant CANCER - Kina (KIN-CER). If identifying with CANCER is so important why is she doing this show? Why isn't she visiting college campuses creating a Campus Crusade for Cancer ?

I hope Beth's alliance prevails. I felt bad for Casey, but I thought she should have picked Diem. I think she wanted to, but didn't want to deal with everyone's shit if she won.

I think we should do a TVgasm petition requesting that Kina not be asked to participate in future challenges or shows. She is ratings poison, I actually have a hard time watching her and listening to her run her fat, monkey-mouth.

Did anyone else notice how she described Beth's strategery as "Master-Mining". Myself personally thinks herself meant Master-MINDING. She is so fucking irritating.

Svet's doing pretty well. I'll bet it's driving Tyler up the wall. Good!

...Wait there's more...

I forgot to include how much I also hate Jodi on my post. I hate Jodi.

Jodi is gross. How fucked up do you have to be to be a Holy-Rolling Blow Job Queen?

That picture of them all wearing wigs........i was wondering who that guy was on the far right with the black dress. I'm staring for a minute and realize that it's Jodi! hahaha. that was scary

yay! Svetty kicked ass. love her. But Casey should have picked Kina. I want to see Kina get kicked off the show. She needs to wipe that eyeshadow off! that's annoying, what is wrong with her?? And at the Duels, she's always wearing that 80s lookin purple jacket. She wears too much colors all the time....and they're not even cute colors. They're PASTEL!

B-Side, thanks for another perfect recap! Myself and all my friends cannot help but enjoy the train wreck that is the Duel.

Chee-Z-TeeVee Addict please try not to hold back so much! I'm left wondering how you really feel! I'm in agreement that Kina isn't ha-ha-fun-to-watch annoying. She is just plain hell on earth. She's making me route for Beth. And Aneesa. And (OMG) possibly WES! She must go. Myself cannot stand it if she sticks around much longer.

Am I the only one that heard Diem say (referring to CT) that she wanted to be "appeasing" to the opposite sex??? I thought for sure that would make the recap.

And someone needs to tell her that one decent wig would be better than a dozen of those ridiculous looking things she brought with her!

I'm so proud of Svetlana! She has already done so much better than I ever thought she would. You just know that's burning Tyler's ass.

I also agree that they're giving Diem too much sympathy because of her cancer. She dosen't have cancer anymore!! she's all better. Everyone is acting like she's still sick so they don't want to send her to Duel. If they all keep thinking like that, then she's never going to duel and she could possible win because everyone dosen't want to hurt the poor girl. Yeah, she's annoying....and she likes that she gets sympathy.

B-Side, I don't know who told you to shorten your recaps but they were wrong. Be as verbose as you want.

As for the episode, I haven't seen it yet due to technical difficulties but have the season pass reset so I'll pick it up on a rerun.

Sorry barfly, I thought I WAS holding back. LOL!

I'm home with the flu today, and watched the episodes on DVR so I was already feeling pretty miserable. BUT, I really can't stand Kina anyway - petition anyone?

Jodie looks like a transvestite in Diem's wig.

and Robin looked like she was having sex with the pole. If I were Casey I would've let go too, just because I would've felt so dirty and violated.

Myself loves you B-side!!!

It has come to be that myself is rooting for Beth, Annesa and Wes.

Can someone explain to me how the hell Beth has come to the conclusion that she may be able to get Brad into her little alliance? Isn’t he Robin’s buddy and part of the popular crowd she’s oh so jealous of? And why is she so damn concerned with the so-called “Drama Mafia” anyway? How does 3 or so girls’ friendship have any effect on her staying in the game? She needs to be making more male friends.

If anything, making a formal alliance that most people seem to know about puts a huge target on your backs. Even if you’re not Robin, Kina, or Jodi you’d want to put a quick end to that alliance because at some point they’ll have to go after you. They pretty much have to count on one of the four winning that day’s challenge to keep them all safe. I don’t think that they thought this alliance thing through.

I don’t know how some of you have come to the conclusion that Diem is “using” her cancer to get sympathy. I haven’t seen her do anything to suggest such a thing. If people are taking it easy on her that’s on them not her. What do you want her to do? Wear a sign that says “Please vote me into The Duel so I can prove myself to you and a bunch of internet dorks”? If she coasts her way through to the final stages of the challenge she won’t be the first or the last. I don’t see people whining about Darrel’s 4 challenge victories, having only done 1 Exile/Inferno/Gauntlet. If you’re looking for games that are based solely on physical merit, watch the Olympics. This is MTV, bitches!

If anyone is using Diem’s cancer it’s MTV’s editors who over-dramatize everything.

boring episode but it was a great recap. i wont hate on beth for her little alliance but it would be so much better if tonya was there!! lol jk did anyone see tonya on Celebrity Paranormal Project?

If it meant never having to see or hear Kina again, not only would I sign a petition, I would donate plasma and some of my eggs. Seriously. I hate Kina so much, I am rooting for Wes. (And I detest him!)

Diem needs to quit with those wigs. Be sure of yourself and know that you in short looks a million times better than those awful wigs. If it's good enough for Kylie Minogue and Melissa Etheridge, I think Diem can deal.

No one in the alliance has to win to ensure their safety. All it takes is for someone to pick one of the alliance members and that will start the chain.

At any rate, safe is a relative term in this case. If you're a girl and it's a girl duel day, the only way to be safe is to win exemption. Other than that, the only distinction is who is definately going in (the one not picked at all) and the those that might go in.

Beth's alliance works, because it means that those girls she has on her side aren't going to gun for her right away. She's simply trying to decrease the odds against her. That's the best anyone can do on this challenge, reduce the odds of you getting picked [not a compliment, since this is sort of like praising the smartest kid in the remedial class].

So now, Beth only has to worry about Robin, Kina, Jodi, and maybe Diem picking her. With those options, probably the only one that would directly call out Beth is Robin because she matches up size to size with Beth [again, if that sounded like a compliment, it wasn't].

Anyway, if I were a chick, I would have left Casey around. Mainly because she can be beaten easily. Also, she's really hot and makes for good television when she's not sounding like an idiot [read: when she speaks]. Who the hell wants someone around that might beat them at the end?

WINNERS?
Who does everyone think is going to be the final 2?

I think Diem and Brad. Brad is a strong competitor, and you really CAN'T send Diem in the duel.

thoughts:

1.YAY for Svetlana!!! Love her!!!

2. Diem, Pullllllease for the sake of my eye sockets, STOP WITH THE WIGS! The point of wearing wigs is to be subtle, right? What's the point when you change it to extreme measures everyday?? You look so much better without them!!!!!

3. Speaking of Diem: There is something about that meat-bawl CT that I don't trust. It's almost like he is swooping in for the kill with Diem...I can't help but feel that he is preying on her vulnerability with the cancer right now. Creeeeeeeepy! Speaking of CT, everytime I see him, this is what I think of: http://movies.monstrous.com/pictures/Ghost_Movie_22.jpg

4. Evan: "I have the privelage of saving this girl from the Duel today"...GAG! Yeah, Casey deserved to go into the duel for sure....because she didn't even TRY the challenge, not because she was the only one standing next to Diem. If the contestants are going to just let Diem off the hook with every Girl Duel Day, then they might as well give her the damn money now and quit wasting everyone's time. No one has YET stepped up to the plate to challenge Diem in any sort of way. I swear, if she makes it to the end I will be mad. Don't get me wrong, I am sure she could DEF use the money, but she's gotta work for it.

I didn't think I could hate Kina any more. Beth's alliance makes her SICK, Cara's "lies" make her SICK... oops, I guess I should be saying "herself." What a hypocritical idiot. I wish Casey had picked her and then knocked the bitch out. But I wonder what Kina's gonna do next, start crimping her hair and wearing bangles? I wonder what her favorite 80s song is. Probably "Sunglasses at Night." Idiot.

On the other hand, I think this is the most I've ever liked CT. He seems like he does genuinely like Diem but is apprehensive and he should be. I thought him "confiding" in Beth and Aneesa was cute.

Go Fitz! I'm glad she's doing so well.

Diem will never be picked for the Duel. I'm surprised she was in the bottom two. And Evan's speech about her being such an amazing person, blah blah blah... She might be, but you just know anyone who lets Diem go into the duel or picks her as their opponent is gonna get hell for it. mom_to_travis, I heard her say that about wanting to be "appeasing." WTF is with these people and mangling these "big words" like that? Appeal isn't even a big word.

Diem will go into a Duel. It’s in the The Duel’s season trailer (she appears to be doing “I Can”). So people can stop with the whining about people “proving” themselves and “earning” it. I repeat; this is MTV, not the Olympics. Darrell flew completely under the radar to 3 victories and went into exile once for one more win. When have these challenges ever been about who “earns” their way to the finals or victories?

B_ran, I know that no one from the alliance necessarily has to win to keep them “safe”. I’m just wondering why anyone, seeing as most if not everyone seems to know that they are in an alliance, would pick anyone from Beth’s alliance until they were forced to leaving someone or even the majority of them out? A formal alliance that people know about is likely to draw attention from more than just Jodi, Kina, and Robin. I think this alliance is gonna take big hits quick. That’s all.

Yeah...i think diem is riding the cancer wave a bit too much! Boring episode, fab-u-lous review! myself likey a lot!!!

Much to my surprise, I have found myself rooting for Beth and not quite understanding why since she really isn’t very nice. Then it dawned on me, it’s not that I particularly care for Beth, but I find her female enemies so repulsive that I’d rather see Beth stay so the others (excluding Svetlana) will have to leave.

I know I’m being redundant since it’s very clear how everyone feels about Kina. But I will have to add myself to the list of folks who find Kina abhorrent. She thinks way too highly of herself for no apparent reason. It’s not like she is in any way superior to any of the other girls. But for argument’s sake, let’s say that she was better than the rest…come on girl, have some humility!

Speaking of a lack of humility, all of these posts are dead-on about Wes. He is certainly the cocky one, isn’t he? Always tooting his own horn. Well okay, he did show some modesty when he said that his “muscles will only take him so far.” Who says stuff like that? I’ll tell you who…someone with a very big inferiority complex. Kind of sad in a way. That boy needs to find a good therapist.

Derek has always been a jerk and has also been know to talk a big game. But I have to hand it to him, he walks the walk. Sometimes those little guys can be really scrappy and he’s one of them!

Whoever ends up winning this thing will hopefully be relatively likeable. But the chances of that are pretty slim since the pool is pretty weak.

Like so many others, I am finding myself rooting for Beth and her alliance simply because the Kina-Jodi-Robin alliance is so lame. They are trying so hard to be the next generation of Rachel and Veronica, but they are falling quite short.

I noticed during one of CT's confessionals that he bears a striking resemblence to Top Chef's Marcel. They both share an out of control hair affliction. Any chance for side by side pictures so that we can have a better look, B-side?

I only have one word for who CT resemebles: Heat Miser.

OK, that's two words.

hey b-side, where does J-unit work out, i think i had a tvgasm sighting this morning

Has anyone noticed that Kina (whom i absolutely despise) looks a lot like Jo from the Facts of Life? LOL
Love the recaps by the way
