Lolo is the strongest woman on this show by far. Its up to her though if Lindsey can sub in. I bet she chickens out and sticks with Tia.

This is great. Lolo talked herself into a terrible spot. The smart game move is to stick with Tia, but she ran her mouth so much she will look terrible if she doesn't face Lindsey. Great Wes episode. Even at the end, he was telling Lolo not to face Lindsey.

Also, I think something is wrong with that Ashley M. lady. Don't blame her for getting fired up for being called weak, but that little rant at the end was straight craziness.

Ashley M is a huge drama queen.

Lolo is right that Lindsey and Louise are picking on her. However, she is by far the most obnoxious player on the team (no one else is even remotely annoying, to be honest). And she's forgetting that Louise and Lindsey have both been team captains and put their neck on the line to get immunity.

I do wonder what would have happened if Lolo wasn't available and they cast someone else on the Pros. There would be no Pro drama. Tia is a sweetheart. Louis is the epitome of a laid back snowboarder. Gus is a nice guy. Louise is only a bitch if she is pushed, same with Lindsey who is about to throw herself in to help Tia. Kam is a very calm guy, and even CM Punk and Merriman dealt with their previous issue in a mature way.

Also, besides Bananas, none of the Champs are ever going to try to mess with the Pros because they realize how outmatched they are in general. That being said, the one pro who looks bad so far is CM Punk.

Yeah, I agree they are picking on Lolo. I would feel worse for her if she didn't bring this all on herself.

The thing about Punk is he was never known for being strong or athletic. Then once he started seriously training mma, he got real lean and dropped a lot of weight. CT is a monster, and I wouldn't be surprised if he outweighed Punk by close to the same about that Darrell outweighed his opponent.

I can't understand why the plan was to sacrifice Wes instead of Jordan. Wes isn't what he used to be, but I think he beats the guy that beat Jordan. He had a better size matchup there.

It's pretty pathetic...they really, really need to get Rachel, Emily, and Laurel for this...it's just pathetic actually when Cara Maria is Ragrded as your strongest girl BY FAR...yes she's really in shape, but she's like 5'3" 115 while Lolo, Lindsey, and Louise are probably all 5'8"+ and literally world class athletes.

It didn't matter because their females dominated, but the Pros really should have just sacrificed Louie against CT. Or given him Jordan in a match he had a better chance of winning than Darrell.\

And at Lolo whining against having to go against Cara Maria... yeah she might be the toughest Champ, but she's no match for any of the Pros except maybe Tia. That was just good strategy to prevent the Champs from creating the only female mismatch they could.

Ashley K is now exposed as a fraud of a champ for two seasons in a row.

Pretty sure that Lolo is going to take the easy way out and stick with Tia. You know, for her charity and all.

I think there's some background to why she's playing for an addiction recovery charity. She seems like she did a little too much brain damaging substance in her past.

She is from West Virginia and has a bit of a meth face. I'm sure she's smoked her fair share of it.

I was always a fan of Lolo, but I never thought her personality was this bad. She is horrible.
Louise is my favorite player by far. She always seems so calm and composed, even though she is scheming

LoLo is an embarrassment to herself. She seems scared and god what a count. Anal grudge frick is clearly the only answer.

I know Lolo had a really really rough childhood, but she seems legitemetly unstable at times. It's like she can't get out of her own head or can't seem to control her own emotions and is not self aware enough to see why and how she is so unliked by so many.

It makes for fantastic television though, I really wish the pro girls could get absorbed into the real show and put them in a house. It would be so much better.

Speaking of which, I don't know why MTV doesn't just make the Challenge from Los Angeles every season. That way, just like they are doing now, production costs are DRAMATICALLY lower than these foreign countries and Lavish locations and they can pay the cast more and get some of these pro girls to be actual cast members.

If you notice, the girls for the Champs have gotten a lot less camera time than usual because 1, the pro girls are actually really good and 2, the drama between them is fantastic

I'm not 100% sure, but I think one reason they go to other countries, is because it's much easier to get permits to do a lot of the stuff they do.

It's expensive as shite too shoot in California. Always has been.

Production has been leaving for cheaper venues since the Spaghetti westerns days.

I think having it in exotic locations is part of the draw that keeps people wanting to do it. Its like a free vacation even if you don't win. Los Angeles doesn't have that same feel.

Yeah I guess y'all are right. It's amazing that moving your entire production of hundreds of people to Thailand and paying for lodging and stunts and labor cheaper than shooting in California. Hell it's probably cheaper than shooting anywhere in tbe US, not just Calif.

Didn't they do the Duel in New Zealand? I'm sure that one was pretty expensive too.

Still doesn't address the vacation aspect and getting to travel the world.

Ashley M cracked me up when she got called out.

I've been enjoying this season though Punk has obviously lost some weight going from WWE to UFC. Was he better/more competitive in 2007?

He was around 220 when he wrestled then dropped down to 185 for UFC. He's lost a lot of muscle.

Remember how male football players were taught to channel their emotions into anger on the field when they got younger? And how some players (i.e. Greg Hardy) cannot control their emotions outside of football? This is what it looks like in a woman instead.

Add onto the fact her, "I'm more important than anyone here" attitude and it makes her look like an even larger mental midget that you can clearly see as "unstable".

Didn't she get kicked off or leave her season on Real World?

If I remember correctly she seemed super drugged out on that season.

I honestly thin Lolo is bipolar and stops taking her meds when she is competing, on the track, sled and show
