MTV's The Challenge Thread

[Sawyer]

I kind of hate how no one ever dares to break up the Kenny/Johnny/Evan alliance. Time and time again, these people just let them ride right into the finals.

There wouldn't be much of a show. No one watches the show to see all these people just play it straight. The challenges and eliminations take up a combined 10 to 15 minutes of footage in an episode that offers 45 minutes of footage total.

And honestly, I have yet to feel like they've even focused on their alliance as it were. And furthermore, they were pretty straightforward (from what footage is seen) in picking Tyrie and Davis. And so what if people go along with it. The thing that always annoys me is when there are always more people who believe they don't deserve to go into eliminations than people who will just suck it up, go in, and let the chips fall where they may. And at the end of the day, Tyrie couldn't step up any-damn-way! Tyrie's supposed to be this athletic dude, and every time his been on a challenge, he's proven himself to be a woefully ineffectual competitor.

Okay, this latest episode had a lot of "alliance" type foolery, not that any of it really panned out! I love how Paula came in like Head B**** In Charge and said, "Why y'all tryin' to send some tiny-ass rookies in against Laurel and Cara Maria. Match it up a little more evenly", and you know what, she was right. 'Cause Theresa and Camilla looked like they could have beaten Laurel and Cara Maria in that Jungle challenge. I just found it hilarious that they thought their "We're just gonna quit" psych-out was gonna work!!!

But Wes, who loves to believe he's the most noble competitor on the Challenge, getting CT riled up? OH dang!!! I had missed CT's rage-outs, and if anyone deserves to be on the receiving end of one, it's Wes. And I love that the Johnny/Wes/Even/Kenny alliance is already desperate! I can easily see Evan's plan to lose a challenge and go into the Jungle, so that everyone will vote in CT and Adam backfiring. For one, despite the preview for next week's ep making it look like CT and Adam have some trouble with the challenge, that could easily be an editing fake-out, and they might win that challenge! ( I loved how they were the only team that managed to jump and catch that zipline, and take it all the way down, 'cause I could have easily seen them wiping out like everyone else!) Two, even if you do get CT and Adam in the Jungle, IT'S C-F***IN-T. If it's something physical, he'll gladly wreck both opposing players and just let Adam chill! The man wore Johnny Bananas like a backpack last season and carried his ass for like thirty feet!

I'm not saying they're not wrong for being worried about CT and Adam, but It's still CT. When it comes to competing, CT ain't goin' down easy, and while you think you can get the whole house to side with y'all, they can't really count on that.

This Challenge actually has me rooting for CT and against Wes, whom I *used* to root for, when the Chuckleheads (Kenny/Evan/Johnny) were going against him.

 

[KenK]

Oh, as long as CT's not knocking someone da f*** out, I'm always gonna root for him. The man's a beast! I wan Ben Affleck to cast him in a Boston crime drama, he's so awesome!!

 

[Sawyer]

Wes is pathetic.

 

[Havok83]

Camilla and Theresa's plan sure worked out well for them


I guess CT really has changed as he didnt knock the sh-t out of Wes

 

[Sakuraba]

I need to jump back in on the Challenges. My problem is that I stopped watching the Real World, like, after Key West I think. So a lot of these people I don't know.

 

[Sawyer]

I love that, even when he is the one that screws up, Kenny puts all the blame on Wes. "He's bad karma!" No, Kenny, you just suck now.

 

[cronosred]

I'm not understanding the guys logic, I mean it's ok for any of them to throw the challenge and then vote in CT so they can try and get rid of him but If Wes is in last and has to go in they have to come up with a different plan, and their all ok with that.

That's what killed me. 'Cause while yeah, Kenny is clearly screwing things up and holding Wes back, Wes for all his talk about being this perfect physical specimen (who actually got beat by Cohutta of all people in an elimination on a previous challenge), when it came time to put up or shut up, he didn't wanna see CT in the Jungle. How come Evan and Nehemiah were willing to volunteer to take on CT and Adam in the Jungle?!? And EV was dead right about it being a stupid plan from jump, and now CT knows he's got that whole alliance spooked.

The issue I'm really having though is with Adam. CT has seemed more than willing to let go of whatever issues they had in the past, and seems to genuinely be making an effort to make up for it be being as supportive a team mate as possible. But Adam's dumb ass still wants to act like he can't trust the dude, and furthermore, he's just always hanging with Johnny, Evan, Kenny, and Wes like they're cool, knowing full well these guys want him and CT gone.

That's because Adam was the one who got his a## kicked so it's not as easy to forgive and forget.

haha wtf. Yeah Adam has the trust issues because he was the one getting mudstomped by a 250 lb gorilla. CT still has some of Adam's blood on his fingers. That ones really not that tough to explain.

 

[KenK]

IT WAS TWO YEARS AGO (maybe three!!)!!!! And when it happened that time, Adam's punk ass should have known better! He WANTED to stand up to CT 'cause of all the times he hadn't done it in the past, and rightfully got his ass beat!

Since this challenge started, CT has done nothing but come at this dude like, "I want us to be friends at the end of this, and while we're here, let's beat these dudes!" That's been his whole attitude towards Adam since the challenge started. I could understand if CT was showing signs on not being too keen on Adam, but he seems to be cool with having him as a partner and the whole nine. And again, the major issue is that Adam is trying to be all cool and friendly with the same people TRYING TO GET RID OF HIM!!!!! You've won two events with this dude, and you spend all your time talking to anyone who will listen about how you still don't trust him.

If CT ever gets the impression that Adam's doggin' him and talking sh** behind his back, whatever comes of it, it's gonna be on Adam, for as I'm concerned. I think if CT was gonna knockout anyone, he'd have done it by now, but a screaming match could definitely be in the cards. "HE WILL WORK YOU!!!! MAN!!! WORK YOU!!!!" (I don't think CT realizes how homoerotic that must sound, especially when coupled with him invading a dude's personal space to say it!!!)

 

[Sawyer]

I'm actually shocked how pro-CT I am this time around. The guy's really mellowed out.

 

[Incrediblejeff]

I agree.I want a CT and Adam victory.I'm also really hope Paula wins.It's starting to get sad now.

 

[Havok83]

I'm actually shocked how pro-CT I am this time around. The guy's really mellowed out.

Everyone hating on him makes he root for him. I dont get why all of them are so insistent on getting rid of him.

Just saw the last episode and really Brandon? What the heck just happened there? What a complete and utter dissapointment


Focus on yourselves. Laurel and Mandi look so pathetic, fighting over CT, who doesnt want either of them

 

[Sawyer]

Brandon's arms were just dead. The thing about that Jungle that pisses me off is that, if it had been whatever team gets both players to the top the quickest, Brandon and Ty probably would've won and Kenny and Wes would've been gone.

 

[KenK]

Aww dang, Jenn done dogged out Adam HARD!!! Poor dude! Aww, who am I kiddin', dude's a goof, can't blame Jenn. He DOES make it mad easy!

 

[Sawyer]

What was he thinking? I mean, she's attractive, but he makes her sound like she's the marrying kind....

 

[Sawyer]

Wow. The rookies win. That's always fun to see.

 

[KenK]

Wow. The rookies win. That's always fun to see.

It was just hilarious to see Jasmine kerk out for apparently no reason! It just looked like it was totally unprovoked!!! t:t:t:

But yeah, seeing them win was cool. Clearly, Jasmine's not scared of the alliance, and I could easily see a bit of a power shift forming. Especially with Johnny and Tyler citing the divides between all the other partners. (Which I'm only really seeing between Wes and Kenny, 'cause Kenny's demoralized, and Wes is ego-tripping) It honestly feels like it's gotten to a point where any kind of alliance is pointless.

Sidenote: are we really already at the halfway mark? Seems to have come around a lot quicker.

 

[Incrediblejeff]

I was hoping to see Jasmine raise hell when she got back to the house.Maybe next week.

 

[Havok83]

Sarah was such a condescending PoS in the last episode that Im glad she got her azz handed to her by 2 rookies.

Aww dang, Jenn done dogged out Adam HARD!!! Poor dude! Aww, who am I kiddin', dude's a goof, can't blame Jenn. He DOES make it mad easy!

Also, isnt she like a lesbian? Wasnt she involved with one of the female cast mates in one of previous seasons? Adam would do best to avoid that situation
