Sadly, it looks like exchanging sex for votes is failing miserably in Phuket, Thailand. And it also looks like we're going to have to listen to at least 42 minutes of the Cohutta - Kellyanne - Wus - Johanna love trapezoid. I'm over it. If any one of the four is the focus of any other episode - except the episode where they injure themselves in a challenge or where one of them beats the other with a baseball bat - I quit. And I mean it.
Kenny is relieved that he and his henchman finally get a day off so they can see the beautiful sights of Thailand. Yeah, it must be so tough to live rent-free in an amazing home with all the food you can eat and (clearly) booze you can drink where your only obligation is to swing on a rope or walk on the hot sand once a week.
So here's the haps: There are seven Champion guys left and only three Challenger guys, so every Challenger guy is up for possible elimination every time. Veronica thinks the house will be more calm since Wombat and Katie are gone but it affects her game -- because she's sort of a non-athletic, lazy slob. (Those are my words, not hers.) And Cohutta seems to think that Kellyanne was invested in their relationship as much as he was. You know there were feelings there and it's not just something you can drop. Um, yes it is. Move on, hillbilly.
Wus seems to think that Cohutta is still obsessed with Kellyanne even though she hurt him six ways to Sunday but I have seen no evidence of said obsession. I'm going to have to pay attention. And take notes.
Ugh. Wus and Johanna are having yet another conversation about their relationship and why it didn't work and how she doesn't trust him and I don't care. Why do these conversations continue to happen? And why does either one of them give a crap about what the other thinks of them? Here's a suggestion Wus: You might want to focus your time and energy on your current, way-too-hot-for-you girlfriend because one day she's going to wake up and realize it. Like as soon as she starts watching these episodes.
Wus is complaining to Kellyanne that Cohutta gets a little frisky when he's drunk.
Wus says that Cohutta doesn't know his place in this world because he forgets that he was practically never Kellyanne's boyfriend. Again, I'll take Why In the World Would Wus Give A Crap for $1000, Alex. Who cares if Cohutta overestimated his history with Kellyanne? Look at her! Listen to him! I would play the Kellyanne card every time if I was him. I don't know if it's the editing or what, but I have yet to see Cohutta do anything questionable to/about/around Wus' prized possession.
So Wus' solution is to go up against Cohutta if he gets called into the Ruins. Wus is confident that Cohutta doesn't stand a chance. Kellyanne doesn't think that's necessarily true -- which I'm sure is exactly what Wus wants to hear. Wus apologizes for the situation but promises her that Cohutta is going home no matter what.
Wus tells Kellyanne that he doesn't just want to be a renegade or an assassin any more but wants to change it to "bounty hunter" and go after people solely because of the bounty on their head which is the money in their personal bank account. Of course, if that were true, Wus could go after any Challenger guy since all of them have exactly the same amount in their accounts since none of them have gone up against or defeated a Champion. I'm just saying.
And the kids get a clue on their T-Mobile Sidekick: Hang on tight. Tomorrow's challenge is going to be a real party. Susie is hoping that it has something to do with partying since that's something they're really good at.
Johanna, Ibis and Susie are scheming about the next Ruins. Johanna figured out the game by announcing that if there are four girls left, then one is going to have to sit out.

How long before T.J. guest stars as the next homeless-bearded, greasy, possibly bipolar bad boyfriend on The Hills?
And yeah, I'd say when you've got your arm across the guy with the Penis Face's throat and Penis Face's tongue is hanging out, then yeah, a headlock or some other illegal move is being applied. Get in there T.J., you useless mass of nondifferentiated cells!
I do like the challenges where they brutalize each other like the roid-powered animals they are better than the ones they have to "think", though.

Notwithoutmytv - you do have to love watching these morons try to think every once in a while, though, right? Last Challenge's spelling bee challenge was great.

TinyElvis, I have to give you immense credit for this awesome recap... but especially the comments about Evan's sloping shoulders (which - WOW! I never realized how crappy his physique really is!) and Johnny's insane ear bend... two spot on observations!
I was glad to see Wes go, as I can't stand him and his double standaards, nor his pasty ass. Plus I think Cohutta is awesome, so I was glad to see him stay.
Hahahaha - the very idea of those goons having to put their money where their mouth is... most of them only get as far as they do cause they scheme and backstab and screw people over! Should be great fun to watch them flounder...

wowzers. i didn't see this ep yet but i'm floored. two champs in one night? it's a festivus miracle.
aside from the occasional rude comment or italian stallion i-wonder-what-it-is-exactly-i'm-overcompensating-for idiocy, dumby bear and kenny haven't gotten much face time. this truly has turned into the evan show.
have i mentioned that i dislike the husky fellow?
he really has made a name for himself in these games. remember when he dicked over coral?...it was the precursor to much dickery to come.
i still want to know how old these losers are. i hang on to the thought of them having to get a real job some day. preferably one in food service.
snap into a slim jim. you just know he's next.

k37744 - while I agree with you that the idea of them having to get a job someday is entertaining, justified, etc.... I would prefer NOT in food service... the idea of those hands touching anything anyone is going to eat is just gag-inducing. Maybe they can be the garbagemen, though.
I liked Evan on the first series he was on... fresh meat I believe. But yeah things changed when he dicked Coral over and hes been unbearable since. I'd prefer he not appear on my TV anymore. I already mute it whenever he comes on screen, just so I dont have to listen to his idiocy.

Great recap!
I could not even watch the ending, I looked it up online to see who would lose, I didn't want to see Wes lose, don't get me wrong I like Cohutta, but I wanted Wes to stay til the end so he could screw the champs over...oh well.

The only good thing about Wes losing is the rest of those idiots will finally have to go into the Ruins.

I would really like to see Johnny, Evan and Kenny go in and lose but who from the Challengers could take them out? I hope the Champions lose because otherwise what's the point of watching? They are winning every single challenge (except for one because of our illiterate friend Derrick)

The logo(?) for this show looks like it reads "The Runs", which I sppse could be accurate given all the drinking and unprotected sex the participants do.

Tiny Elvis, I LOVE YOU! Will you marry me? ;)
Seriously, your recaps provide me with a much-needed truly laughing out loud experience! So glad you're back, and can't wait to read the next one! :)

I love it when people who slide through this show get called out, just like Ibis did. I was so excited to see what she would wear to the Ruins. I wonder if MTV decides what the ruins will be after the people going in are chosen, like did they pick the rope thing so that cohutta would beat wes? Rather than something to do with strength?
It was so interesting to see how the champions voted without deliberations. The team really is run by a few people and their little discussions. I like how Darrell knew exactly what he should do but did what he wanted.
I think it's strange that kellyanne and johanna talk, it's not like they were friendly before kellyanne started dating wes.
So are you saying that Johnny and Ibis hooked up?
I always laugh when one of them say "myself"
