The last time it was an option 2nd and 3rd places split the money, but it was a pretty small amount relative to 1st place.

Yes she is horrible at everything. She is trying to be a regular on this show, but she is not athletic at all

Can’t stand her, unless her boobs are hanging out during questioning sessions

Nope!!
He tried to walk away from devin many times, devin was asking for it.

Corey is a pathetic thug that doesn’t deserve the opportunities he gets. Hope MTV never lets him back in a challenge

Johnny: Devin, the only reason you are on this show is because of me. You’re a one trick pony. I’m all you think about. I’m all you talk about. You’re not even a blip on my radar when it comes to credible threats in this game.

He could do that better than me and completely make him look foolish without bringing up his dead fricking dad that just died. There’s no reason for that even in real life to people you despise. It’s just a low blow. Devin deserved his comeuppance but Johnny could have handled it better. He even said he shouldn’t have said it himself, and I’m sure he’d honestly tell you in person that he wish he hadn’t.

John and Tony should have gone after Ashley and Hunter. They are both dumb as a rock and Ashley would have quit before getting the structure built.

The redemption house is now a far grater television show than the main house...and that should scare MTV execs.

The group of scraps left over that look headed to the final are going to be extremely tough to watch if at least John and Tony or Kyle and Brad don't make it back for the final.

I don't know what to think of the double cross. It's such a toss up.

Well the only thing salvaging Bananas and Tony’s lost was having Shane and Nelson go right behind them. I definitely would not have correctly guessed these folks left standing back in July when this started. (Which is insane in itself that it has been on since early July)

I saw Brad and Kyle at Armageddon in next week's preview so it looks like they survive. The whole way they're doing redemption house this year is stupid. Paulie and Natalie spent the first half of the season in redemption and now are one of the top teams in the main house. That shouldn't happen. They should do a redemption purge after you've got three or four teams in there. Winner goes to the main house, losers go home. This business about teams third and fourth chances is ruining the show.

This has been a terrible season from a pacing standpoint. I don’t like having teams come in halfway while other teams can sit in redemption for weeks and then come back in.

Looks like next week they do a tournament of the 4 redemption teams, and then the winner gets back in the House for the final challenge. Then, the top 4 teams go to the final and the 5th place team is out for good.

I have to think whoever comes out of redemption will be the favorite. The only team currently remaining in the main house that I can see winning is Hunter and Ashley. And maybe Joss if there is a lot of running and Ashley needs to take smoke breaks

Is Cara getting a tattoo of Paulie on that stupid tattoo show?

That is how it should always be IMO. Everyone should absolutely loathe the doublecross bullshite. It's stupid and it sucks. It leaves way too much up to chance. If you're gonna have a redemption house, you should allow people to redeem themselves. And if they aren't BFF with whoever pulls the doublecross, then they don't get that chance. There is far too much reliance on chance and not near enough on competition, which is what this should should be most about.

Johnny and Tony talk mad shite, but when push came to shove, they didn't call out Shane and Nelson. That was dumb, and pussified for someone who keeps talking about how many pussies there are in the house. And Tony's bullshite reason about Shane swimming was hilarious...it was a small tank of water, not some swimming race.

I liked that elimination though. That was a cool one, and I can see myself getting big time frustrated at that tower falling over and over. One thing though, I thought that little pole thing was the height that the tower had to be built to...yet when Joss and Sylvia won, it wasn't close to the top of it. That seemed weird.

I saw that commercial last night...are they together now or something? It's funny that they showed the preview for that tattoo show, and then a few minutes later on the Challenge episode they show Cara start talking about how she thinks Paulie is cute.

Cara wanted to frick Paulie since the first or second episode. Mainly just to get back at Kyle though.

I'm starting to like Natalie and Marie more and more. It's funny seeing these people once they get away from all the drama queens.

That's pretty funny Bananas made up some shite and the very next day (or however long) ends up face to face with Nelson and busted. Tony's probably my favorite dude on the cast outside of CT, but Johnny is starting to come off like a little bitch lashing out because he isn't pulling all the strings this season.

I'm hoping Cara Maria and Marie can pull off the miracle this season.

A couple of thoughts. No i dont think it was necessary. Clearly neither did Bananas and you can tell he regrets it.

BUT....lets talk about WHY it was so brutal. It was fricking true. Johnny knows this show is trash. He has always danced just above the trash line. Johnny didnt say anything negative about Devin's father. He said something negative about Devin and used that situation to highlight his point. Also, Devin was literally trying to psychologically torture the guy. If you say that you are going to play the game "in honor of your dead father" and then proceed to harass someone who is upset that your friend assaulted their friend....is that honoring your father.


Thats probably what i would have said. "Look what you are doing, following me around being a punk. THIS is how you are going to honor your father? This is what you came back for."

Same concept but more in the "fair" camp.


Whats funny is everyone was saying Bananas was playing up that incident to get Devin/Cory kicked off (i honestly dont think he was) while they are literally LYING about what happened to keep them from being kicked off.

This season has had some good moments I just think overall the different combinations of teams ie male/female, male/male etc hasn't made for good challenges or eliminations.

He holds grudges against people like Tony and Sarah, when he's done the same and much worse to others. It's only "all's fair" when it's not going against him.

That is why I hate that dude. But at least he knows what makes entertaining TV, whereas people like Sylvia or Shane are trying to hard to create bullshite for screen time, and it is turning people off of the series.

Apparently Cara and Paulie were dating in July. Who knows if it's still ongoing. He's abandoned or cheated on basically evey girl he's ever been on tv with.

He ditched That girl he was shacked up with on Ex on the beach right after filming. Apparently there's some other "famous" reality girl he cheated on too.
