i love how every other man in the house thinks they can take CT when in reality they would just get Adam Kinged.

Eh, CT is obviously a scary guy, but he always picks fights with people who will either back down or get their arse kicked.

Let's look at his targets: Adam who is maybe 150 pounds and not an aggressive guy, Davis, Frank, and in an earlier season, Wes, who is also pretty damn small. Frank is a decent athlete but he's obviously about average in terms of strength when it comes to the guys in the house.

He did pick a fight with Marlon in the season opener, but he's simply going after rookies because he thinks they're weak links. I see no reason why an All-Big 12 linebacker would be afraid of him in a real fight. For that matter, there are guys like Zach, Leroy (who he never fricks with), and probably CJ from Cancun who are all in excellent shape and bigger than the average guys on the Challenge who should all have no reason to be afraid of CT.

Does no one remember him from Paris? His targets were Adam and an English dude who put his own hands behind his back so he couldn't get into a fight The guy is more of a bullshitter than the Miz.

Btw, did anyone see the Grantland podcast with Frank LINK

It's 48 minutes and the interviewer is kind of annoying, but Frank says some interesting stuff about the format of the show.

Here is how it works.

MTV calls people they want on the show 6 weeks before the show starts. Four weeks before the show starts, they make the official casting calls. Everyone tries to get on twitter and see who else is involved. Frank says they basically knew everyone besides CT and Ty were going to be there. CT intentionally didn't respond to tweets from everyone to keep the mystery going, and Ty just isn't in contact with most people.

He says the first week everyone chills out and does interviews and press. The next week, there is a challenge on Monday, Jungle elimination on Tuesday, interviews and camera segments on Wednesday, new challenge on Thursday, Jungle on Friday, interviews on Saturday, everyone gets Sunday off. Rinse and repeat for 7 weeks. So it seems like we are watching basically 2-3 days of their lives each episode.

Says the place they stayed in Phuket was much worse than the house in Turkey. No AC at all the first week, AC only in the living room the second week (which is why everyone was passed out there), AC in the bedrooms from 10 PM to 6 AM the third week and afterwards. Thinks it was done just to piss off the cast and keep everyone on edge.

Throws a lot of insults towards CT throughout the interview, says Knight was his bitch the whole tmie, which is obvious for anyone to see. Says he and Zach aren't really friends anymore, and also blames CT somewhat. Frank refers to his own boyfriend once so I guess his straight phase is over

Says there weren't a lot of hook-ups this year, just lots of fights. Says he likes Wes in real life, and that he is a calm, relaxed guy who runs a small business but tries to act all alpha on the show. I think we can all see that coming with his ridiculously fake deep voice that sounds nothing like his voice from Austin.

Also, he gave some spoilers which I am sure MTV will be annoyed at. Says Marlon and Knight fight next week and Knight gives low blows (assuming it's something racial or maybe gay-baiting). ALso says he has a beef with Zach later on.

Says CT's got no brain power left from his years of drug abuse, same with Knight. Johnny Bananas made him sniff computer cleaning liquid in Thailand as a hazing thing and Bananas did this shite fairly frequently when he was younger

Oh, and when it comes to aftershows, they usually film 2-3 of those in one day.

Few more things I forgot

Frank says CT and Anastasia fricked in the woods outside the house.

Frank works as a waiter in LA and Aiiya from Cancun works there as well. The dude has a degree from one of the top colleges in the country and he's a waiter Says he wants to do 2 more Challenges before retiring.

MTV producers ration alcohol. On Challenge days and Jungle days, there is no booze in the house. They only get booze after the Jungle and on the nights they get off (I guess Tuesday nights, Thursday nights, all days Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday). Says everyone has to be sober even for the Jungle eliminations, where 90% of the people are just standing around and cheering. Doesn't know why.

Also, he says the same thing as a lot of us, when it comes to the punching and fighting, and how it is permitted more now. The contracts say they can't fight, but there were no repercussions for him fighting Knight, Anastasia slapping CT, etc.

He speculates that producers will only kick someone off if they are irrelevant to the main plot (so if Rob or Derek or Jasmine do something, they're gone) or if it is very violent like CT and Adam. But he's just guessing here. Thinks the success of Bunim-Murray's Bad Girls Club has something to do with it.

I want to kill Jasmine

She is seriously the worst challenge character of all time. The sudden ghetto aggression that come out of her are annoying as shite.

The dude with 1 hand doing it is impressive though.

I don't understand how he holds it and keeps it stable

What is wrong with Diem's face? It looks like someone threw up on it. Did she always have those black spots all over her face like this?

I didn't think about that? Maybe it's a reaction to Chemo therapy. Sucks for her. She is one of my favorites.

You can watch outside the house though, right? I remember the RW:NOLA cast watching the superbowl. Unless that was something the producers let them do as a special occassion kinda thing..?

And she's like 4'8". Even I would literally tower over her.
