re: The Challenge Season 36: Double Agents (Premieres 12/9)

Holy shite, Lio talked all that shitbon day one then he bails after like 5 episodes. And then he blames some group home "trigger" bullshite.

Incredible. He pussed out. He wanted to go home. He missed his wife. The Challenge kicked his arse.

And then fricking TJ makes some "metal health" excuse after chastising folks for 15 years over doing the exact same things. What an absolute joke.

And Kam, what the absolute fuk does someone's skin color have anything to do with breaking down and getting homesick on a challenge? Geezus...

Basically everyone who has ever quit the show did it because they were at a breaking point of some kind, and they all got raked over the coals as "quitters", and many many of them never returned to the show.

There have been obvious instances of former players with serious addiction and mental problems staying in the house unnecessarily because they didn't want to "quit" the show out of fear of never being asked back again. Dan was a full blown alcoholic on The Island and fricking Tanya should have never ever been invited on the show with her mental instabilities, but they were both higighted extensively back in the day because they made for good disiater television.

Lio obviously broke mentally. Don't blame him, but he did. Not even saying most people wouldn'tz but he's just another in a long line of people who couldn't cut it in the challenge house, especially recently where the house is been almost like a prison.

In a way, it just shows that he's a normal person and that all the longtime stars of the show, especially those who love coming into the house, are probably the ones who are actually severly mentally unstable. Ashley, CT, Devin, Bear, Nany and many others have all have a long, well documented history of crazy.
