re: MTV The Challenge: Total Madness

Just catching up and had no idea about Dee.
The world is obviously much different now than it was 10 years ago but it’s pretty eye opening how mild the climate used to be. Hell, some of the shite CT pulled would have probably landed him in jail if he was on the street.
I also read about Cory’s MTV special that got canned literally 90 minutes before airing due to his GFs last. She posted something that she is no longer doing the show, but it sounds like she got fired.
Does this expose MTV to a high precedent? Are they going to retroactively go back and fire everyone who said insensitive things? I don’t see the point in wielding a selective hammer

This is a knee jerk overreaction based on this weeks menu special. MTV, like many others, are trying to cater to the liberal PC agenda. I’m not a fan of Dee, but I have a hard time see any justification of her being “fired” and the heavy editing that was done on this weeks episode. In the past, MTV would air a disclaimer or a PSA and continue on. Jordan was sexually assaulted by Naya, Camilla unloaded on Leroy over him being black, CT and Darrell among others physically assaulted other cast members....and all were allowed to come back with little to no consequences.
Bayleigh shouldn’t have been allowed on the show If MTV is now about social injustice based on her time in BB. She belittled and ridiculed a cast member who was a midget and a homosexual.
IMO, MTV went way overboard on all of this. If Dee is gone, a lot of the cast should be “fired” for their prior actions. But that would all but end the show, and MTV isn’t about to lose out on the cash cow that has become a million dollar game.

I suspect MTV is afraid of Bayleigh just like all of her cast mates seem to be. She was a lightning rod on BB and and disgusting but received tons of national support from the black community by way of social media.
In fact many people who watched the show felt the producers were going to rig it for her to win. I am sure MTV remembers that so they probably thought the safest move was to just fire Dee was they were made aware of the Twitter war and subject.

I wonder if every episode will be cut short moving forward?
Posted on 6/15/20 at 4:56 pm to Sweaters
They are going to cut out Dee as much as possible for the rest of the season
Posted on 6/16/20 at 7:33 am to Brosef Stalin
Yep she'll only be there competing in a challenge or an elimination. No talking heads at all.

Absolutely... Dee sucks but she's getting a raw deal here.
Basically she just took the "I have black friends" argument to the "I lost my virginity to a black dude" level. Who the frick cares?

Idk why, but the last couple episodes have kind of annoyed me and made me think there’s either weird editing or the producers have been involved a lot behind the scenes.
-Wtf have Wes and Bananas been doing?!? It still makes no sense that they didn’t send in Cory against Nelson. That was so obvious, why give a fvck about a layup like Bear?
-Why the hell did Wes, the master manipulator, allow Bananas to get himself voted in on the week when Wes was in tribunal? It makes zero sense for Bananas to do it (regardless of the fact that he won), nor does it make any sense that Wes allowed him to do that.
-That’s the other thing I don’t understand about this setup. Does no one understand the power you’re giving people when you vote them in? It makes no sense why people are giving someone like Bananas his wish. Furthermore, why have they seemingly had this honor code not to vote back in someone once they win a skull (except for the tiny dude lol and Dee who they all hate)? If they were smart and/or ruthless they would keep throwing the same person in once they had a red skull.
-I hate the seemingly random eliminations. I much prefer something relatively physical. Smashing holes to pull out batteries was pretty lame IMO. The tunnel elimination for the girls was much better.
-I really want Dee to win. I know she sucks, but the show needs villains. She’s the only girl worth a damn from a story standpoint if Nani isn’t gonna be hooking up with people and/or Kaila isn’t gonna be doing her crazy shite. Screw MTV for getting all holier than thou about some weird comments she made given what they’ve allowed to air on their shows.

I agree with all of this. It's weird that they are letting people put themselves into elimination without a fight.

I agree on letting Bananas (or whoever) just vote themselves in. But if you know you need a red skull to get to the final, you can't keep voting in the same people or you'll never get your shot. Now, once you've got that red skull I think it makes perfect sense to vote in all the other red skull holders to try and limit the number of competitors in the final.

So, I just flipped over to see if the challenge would be 90 min or an hour (it's 90 min tonight).
What mtv has done is even more egregious than last week. It's almost to the point I want to boycott the show.
In the recap, they literally wouldn't even show Dee's face. They shaped it totally around Mattie losing and Melissa being pissed. The one brief clip they showed was Dee falling through the sand and winning... But it was just her back with her head down.
In the 1st 10 minutes of tonight, you wouldn't even know Dee ever existed in the show. And now, instead of seeing Dee on the warpath and confront Rogan, the first 10 minutes of tonight is just a bunch of random ppl (Josh. Swaggy, Fessie,) just talking about trying to go into elim. It's boring as hell.
They took the biggest drama memoent of the season an erased it.
. Now we get Cory talking about missing his daughter.
Who gives a shite. It's almost as bad as Jenna and Zach vidoe calls.

I just looked to see if mtv Canada was playing the old version, and it seems they have even gone back and cut out 20 minutes that aired last week that all featured Dee.
This is 1984/Stalanist type shite.

Fessy is a damn beast
At this point I hope Dee makes the final just because I wanna see how they edit it to pretend she's not there.

Btw, apparently mtv also today "fired" the star of Siesta Key. That Alex guy.
His father is the producer of the show. It was apparently for "racist" social media remarks.
He basically liked some explicit posts with n****r in them so he was canned from what I can find.

And as if it needed to be said, Josh is a complete idiot.
Posted on 6/17/20 at 11:03 pm to TigerCub
Josh is an idiot but I don't know if he was going to beat Cory.
So now is it just down to him and Kyle?
If so, that's actually not bad odds, because Kyle is not that smart. I hope, though, someone gets boxed out. TJ has beeb warning them all year to get a skull.
I hope Bayleigh gets eliminated next week. I'd bet it's her v. Nany in hall brawl.
And her yelling at Kasey is crazy. She's seems like the nicest person on the show in years and also one of the elite female competitors.

I agree that the Dee shite is legit pissing me off. Like I was irrationally mad about it last night. You fired her, cool. I hate her so NBD. But to edit shite and pretend that she isn’t even on the show is fricking stupid. Not to mention that it’s harder to hate her when I can’t even see her stupid face. It makes me want to not watch anymore.
Josh is a fricking pussy and an idiot. Dude talks so much shite and then is all “I don’t want to go down there unless I see it and am confident.” GTFO, dude. As much as I hope Kyle can get through, I almost hope that they get fricked for avoiding elimination this long and TJ is just like “okay that’s it, y’all go home.”
Swaggy is borderline worthless. Didn’t someone say he was a college athlete (even if he didn’t actually play)? Dude looked like a child on that harness. That should’ve been the easiest elimination to handle outside of Jenny’s cakewalk. And he spazzed out. And he wanted nothing to do with being in there either.
I’m really digging Fessy. He is huge and good as shite, but also seems chill and has a good grip on the game. Hope he stays around for a while on challenges.
Bayleigh loses her man and then goes psycho next week? Nice. I’ve seen people mention her temper. Guess we’ll see if finally.

Yup, "played" college basketball but only recorded like 2 mins of game time with a turnover.
Fessy is much more likeable on The Challenge than he was on BB. I hope he makes it to the final against a vet like Bananas. I'd like to see if his sheer athleticism is enough to get through something long distance with puzzles.

I realize the term beta gets thrown around a lot, but Swaggy invented the term. Clearly, Bayleigh decides everything in their marriage.

Yep, they have pretty much ruined the show by filling in bullshite time after re-editing episodes. According to my fiance, they did the same thing on that Siesta Key show with a main character and resulted in a severly watered down product.
I don't understand the thinking on this one, MTV is basically ruining the only two shows they air that actually draw eyes to appease the smallest but loudest people in the room.
