re: MTV The Challenge: Total Madness

Melissa has only been gone for 2 seasons and there were times when the camera cut to her quickly this week where I caught myself wondering who the new girl was. She’s definitely has some work done.

I think when it comes to the face, the rookies Baylee and Casey, Jenna, Tori, Aneesa (who is easily up 20 pounds since we last saw her), and Nany look about the same.

Also Dee looks the same to me. Not particularly attractive but not different unless she got implants or something.

Kailah is naturally very attractive but has had too many operations and imo too many tattoos.

Mattie definitely got some work done in the past year as well.

If we are factoring in any kind of plastic surgery, I’m not sure if any of the regulars besides Laurel has had zero work done. Cara looks different these days as well, although it isn’t egregious.

When it comes to Jenny, she seems like one of the nicest and most mentally stable people in the history of the show. Only reason she isn’t trampled immediately is bc she is a great athlete. Kind of like a female Landon. But yeah, those lips are absurd.

I've never been a Nany fan. Her looks or her personality.

I damn near forgot Melissa was even on this season, she's had maybe 10 seconds of screen time.

They seem like total assholes yes. We got a little glimpse of her being a bitch in episode 1 which made me dislike her from the jump.

The thing is though, the challenge is one of the few reality shows where those kind of antics really get you nowhere. At some point, you make too many enemies, the house and game are too mentally grinding, and the physical nature of the game eats you up.

You can either perform or you can't or you either have a huge protection block of votes or you don't.

Angela from ex on the beach was a psycho bitch on that show and when she got on the challenge she seemed to barely get out of line. I think it's because you're trying to make as little ripples as possible in the challenge, especially when youre a rookie and have no allies.

Would be awesome if someone tossed Dee into an elimination against Jenny later this season.

Who goes home tonight?

Watching Ashley cry and panic because she knows she has no power this year and can't skate to the final with her gaggle of idiots is glorious.

CT gassing out on something like that would not have been good for him in a final. CT has to be 65 lbs heavier than he used to be.

Wonder if folks still gun for Jay or they start to target guys like Swaggy and maybe Josh or Bear.

Love that Jay called Rogan out. The only reason he he made it personal is because he views Jay as a layup. If someone stronger like a Corey was hooking up with Dee you wouldn’t have heard the same shite out of him.

Jay will probably get taken out in anything that involves physical altercation, but he is dangerous in anything based on agility, stamina, or intelligence.

MTV made it so obvious who was going to win the way all the interviews were trashing Jay and pumping CT up.

He’s said it several times and he comes back the same as always.

He won 250K last year out of shape. He gets a very nice appearance fee and makes money off Cameo and things like that.

We will never see Duel-era CT or even the Rivals II version.

And back in the days when Evan, Brad, Wes, John, and even bit players like Dunbar were roided out, CT looked more natural than them until his 24 hours of madness in New Zealand.
