re: MTV The Challenge: Total Madness

You're probably right about Jay. I hope it's Swaggy, though.

Josh: I guess we’ll keep going after each other.
Wes: We are not a thing, you can come after me I’ll never come after the worst player in the game.

So we saw Jenna say something to Zach about “being good” like five times in that conversation? Yikes. Good to see he’s still a cheating a-hole to her and she puts him on a pedestal.

Wes going at Jordan is interesting. I hope Jordan can get a red skull if he goes in and puts Wes in his place.

It always amazes me that these people can’t do simple math. I wonder if you’re allowed to just tell the second person the numbers. Like instead of saying “85/5” could you just say “17.” Somehow I doubt they would allow that. But it is weird that they don’t seem to remember the numbers they just told the person. Like John said “I don’t have the equation anymore.” Well so just think back 45 seconds and tell me what it was again.

And putting Bear in the math portion seems overly stupid.

Jenna getting more and more screen time.

Of course Kailah goes for Bear. She’s an idiot. If I was her boyfriend back home there’s no chance I would’ve been cool with her going on this show.

Few things would make me happier than Jay taking out Rogan in the elimination. Especially if it is something physical. But I don’t know if it will happen.

This Wes/Josh conversation is awesome. And Wes is 100% right. Josh is terrible and Wes saying this shite to his face and in front of the tribunal is amazing.

Josh is such a pussy. “Uh, duurrrrre, I know I could beat Jay but it’s dangerous to go down there right now. Durrrrr.” Say what? Go beat him then. TJ is right, they are playing a scared game. If I was Jay I’d stop TJ before he explained anything and tell Rogan to come down there. He’s injected muscles, man. Even though Rogan is stronger, you could beat him in something like this where smarts and agility come into play. It’s not all just about strength.

I hope eventually there is a multi elimination where lots of people are vying for one spot and people who pussed out screwed themselves.

And good for Jay to call him out. I kinda like that dude. Although I think the way they’re editing this he’s gonna go home.

They better not cliffhang this.

Of course. Goddammit. And am I wrong or did that “hit” not look that bad? Piss poor attempt by Jay. I know I hate Rogan so I am a little biased, but still.

And Jenna and Zach fight about cheating and she wants to go home. Of course.

It was only a matter of time before MTV, MTV’d and fell back on a carry over/ “cliffhanger” episode. This episode sucked outside of catching Kailah kissing Bear, and him catching wood on national TV from kissing her and trying to hide it with some pocket pull.

Jay hinting his strategy to shoot if he had a shot made me cringe. Rogan just makes me feel like he is a complete bitch. I can’t forget him crying last season and being scared to death of an elimination and now he wants to be billy bad arse go after the little man. No chance he makes it to the final.

I do wonder if there are only “x” number of skulls and there will be a big purge competition at the end to get 2-3 in. They’re all playing scared. I don’t get why the vets aren’t cashing in now on layups. Fessy is a real athlete and can dominate any of them in a physical comp. Why wait and take the chance of tougher competition later. CT had the right idea but blew it.

Rogan took that elimination way too far imo. It wasnt necessary to throw Jay like that and he had been saying non-stop what he was going to do. Maybe its because I am biased and like Jay, but to me Rogan is a bully and physically meant to hurt the guy. Rogan should get the boot.

From the previews it looks like Bayleigh is going to show the world her arse like she did on BB.

I hate the carry over episodes. I wish they’d show the elimination and move on weekly.

I do too but it looked pretty clear who won that elimination even without them showing the end.

Just because they go in now doesn't mean they won't get thrown in again later

I hope MTV is pulling a rope a dope and Jay comes back to win, but I don't see how he stops Rogan on defense.

I still think it's dumb to keep sending him in, Jay's right, there are finite opportunities for a red skull and each time he is in is one less opportunity for someone else.

"We're not a thing."

And then Josh doubles down and says we can squash it for now but at some point we’re going after each other again and Wes just laughed and said NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND I WILL NEVER GO AFTER THE WEAKEST PLAYER IN THE HOUSE.

That whole interaction was gold.

against the smallest guy in the house (other than maybe Swaggy) and he pussed out. Lame. I get Swaggy not going in against Jay in a physical elimination... it's a no-win situation, if he loses he's out, if he wins, then he's the only one with a red skull and a perceived weaker player and he'll be the target week after week.

---

So I hate “Swaggy”, but he isn’t small at all. He’s almost as tall as Fess and was a college b-ball player (he didn’t play much, I think the BB guys found his stats and he had more fouls than points ) but presumably still a solid athlete.

I'd be shocked if anything other than getting the wind knocked out of him happened to Jay. Rogan wrapped his arms up and drove his chest into the ground and Jay was making the classic wind knocked out wheezing.

---

Agreed. That’s what I was saying. It didn’t look THAT bad at all. And the way MTV pulls their editing bullshite I also think it is possible that not only is Jay okay, but he may win. I don’t see how he will, but it could happen since they edited it SO MUCH in Rogan’s favor.

And yeah, I hope Josh gets screwed out of a red skull later and realizes that his best shot was probably this elimination against Jay.

And if I’m Jay and I do win, I go back to the house and immediately start campaigning to get my name out of everyone’s mouths. Although it would be awesome if he just kept taking out everybody like that one season with Frank and that chick that kept getting thrown in and kept winning.
