I don't think Tyree is shredded, huh?

someone fact check Tyree's Nebraska football claims also. No way that is true.

According to google, Tyrie Ballard played football at Omaha Northwest High

No Tyrie Ballards on a Nebraska Cornhusker, ever

Its better than saying "yeah we've both been on juice for 5+ years and barely pushed over a gay kid and a fat black dude who took karate as an adult."

Watched the show last night.

I don't really care for Cara Maria, but good for her to stand up to Jenn in the kitchen. When she did that, Jenn look like an idiot, which was pretty awesome. And CM is right..Laurel gets shite for CT, but Jenn is sleeping with Adam (and she got pissed at "sleeping with," but she 100% sleeps in his bed).

Glad to see Jasmine and Jonna go home. Both annoying as frick.

Mike getting with Paula was awesomely awkward and uncomfortable.

Can't wait for next week's show, which I assume is the finale.

Also, I recorded part of the promo in slow motion and uploaded it on youtube so ya'll could see the better angle of CT taking out Tyler and Bananas:

Awesomeness.

Next week can't be the finale yet. They still have one more guy's elimination before the finals.

They'll probably end the show before the jungle is over, so you'll have to watch the finale to see who goes home. They always pull that shite.

I was flipping through channels a little while ago and I think I heard a promo say there are still three episodes left. WTF? Does that include the reunion show?

Alright, so I've never watched an episode of any of these challenges all the way through. I read the threads here and watch 10-15 minutes of maybe 3 shows each year, so I have a few novice questions.

1) After CT tried to kill Adam and threatened to eat his face, how the hell did he ever get back on one of these shows? He is a walking lawsuit even if he is obviously very good at the physical challenges and can intimidate the hell out of Wes (who is at most 5'8" or so).

2) I vaguely remember some guys who were pretty good at the challenges like Landon from Philly, Alton from Las Vegas 1, and maybe one or two other guys. What happened to them? Did they all just get real jobs or what?

3) Along the same vein, do the same people just keep going on the shows because they want to be 23-year olds for the rest of their life? It seems like every year, you guys are talking about Jenn, Wes, Paula, Nehemiah, Bananas, CT, Adam (biggest waste of a Stanford degree ever ), and maybe a couple of other people who I don't know like Evan and Kenny.

4) I am assuming Wes is on HGH or something. Same with all of the other guys other than maybe Adam and obviously Roy Lee & Mike Mike. THey were definitely not that big on their Real World seasons.

5) I watched all of Paris. CT wasn't that fricking insane. Was he just cast in the wrong house? He definitely didn't strike me as the kind of guy who would be the feature of 3,000 word Bill Simmons column then, but he totally is now.

Similarly, Tonya was not a huge whore by any means in Chicago.

So my question is this. Which characters from previous Real World shows have totally changed their personalities and image on the Challenges? Say what you want about Jenn but she is basically the same whore we saw in Denver.
