THAT challenge seemed tailor made for someone like Veronia. (Rachel yelled "and you're a dancer"), how lucky. As ridiculous as it seemed, there was a similar challenge in Inferno I that pitted Shane against CT (who stepped in for someone else) and they sat and spun around in two chairs facing each other, then got out to drink milk and cookies. It's something different, not as physical as 99% of the other inferno challenges, but luckily enough that THAT particular challenge came around when Veronica went into the Inferno. Hmmmmmm .....

As soon as Jodi started that challenge, she lost. The wrapping had to be kept on your upper body and kept taut, or you'd fall like she did. Probably the kind of thing you figure out too late though. Ugghhh...the Bad Guys were awful to Jodi when she lost. I got queasy looking at next week's challenge. I don't like heights either.

Oh yeah, after Jodi lost and you hear Dan yell out take that b*tch, it made me sick. I mean, okay they won fair and square and can celebrate, but how awful they were to be so mean and not even pretend to be decent people. Dan has really disappointed me with his diva attitude, thought he was a nice guy before. I have noticed that they really do not show much of Veronica other than her bad side. I think we have been manipulated into thinking she's worse than she is. Granted, she's pretty bad, but I just think she's gotta have a good side too. Nobody seems to hate Rachel as much and they're like siamese twins! CT is doing amazing this season, I hope he wins.

I think Veronica takes great delight in portraying "the bad girl". It's her niche for continuing her 15 minutes.

wasnt Veronica the one caught cheating on her season of Road Rules? It just has put her in a place in my mind, she is getting her 15 min continued, whatever works, and obviously this line IS working for her, from what I see at least!

The 1st challenge series I watched was the battle of the sexes where the girls won mostly because of Ruthie's efforts. I don't know how long these challenge shows have been going on but I haven't missed one since I found that 1st one & neither has Veronica! I wander which RR/RW person has the longest resume as far as being on the challenge shows goes.

Reader, Veronica did get caught cheating on a paper at Semester at Sea, and she also stole a roommate's shirt and hid it in her closet. Rach & Veronica remind me of the bad bully girls in high school. and Tonya the wannabe popular/bad girl. I hang my head in shame I keep watching

That's right, Veronica was COLD BUSTED stealing that shirt... I love the challenges, glad they keep having them. If I was one of them, I'd do it too, they're gonna get old and have to get a job sometime so might as well enjoy these little vacay's while they can!

I am proud to say that I have stopped watching this show. You do know what's going to happen though, I am going to be sitting home one Saturday and some marathon will be on and sucker me into watching every episode!

I didn't think it possible, but I think I dislike Tina more than Veronica.

i liked tonya in chicago - didnt like her in the challenges but now i am just so feeling for her with those 3 girls even i couldnt comment on because of the words i might say - so so true that they remind me of those "popular" girls that just bullied others and made men happy...(oops i strated to comment)

Legal ... I have been through the same progression of feelings about Tona as you ... Watching those three girls do the high school clique mean/rude/nasty/cold stuff to her makes me root once again for Tonya. I didn't know before that she was brought up in foster homes ... so probably she has no family to be a support system for her. That's got to be hard.

she was much more "reserved" in Chicago then on the challenges - partly due to having a boyfriend when in Chicago - but she always has been wary of wanting to make friends but also hestitant to do so since she was moved around so much as a kid...

WHen Tonya was in Chicago, she was, pretty much literally, a mess. She was having health problems with her kidneys (I think) and was in a lot of pain. She also had a lot of debt because of medical expenses due to lack of insurance. Plus, she was going through relationship issues being away from her boyfriend. The foster family stuff was brought out then and there were clearly a lot of issues for her surrounding that, especially wrapped up in trusting people, which is pretty understandable. She had a very hard time letting anyone get close and her defenses were VERY raised all the time. It was not a pretty picture. Since she's been on the challenges, she seems to have overcome her health issues and a lot of other stuff to really be more her own person. That has manifested itself in some wild behavior, but heck she's young and she missed a lot of chances to be wild because of her living situation and health issues, so???? This situation with the "girls' club" picking on her has really brought out her insecurities, which in turn will bring out her claws. I have to say that Julie suprised me this week. She was being so emotional about her fear of the heights, but she still pulled through and did it. The cynic in me, however, wonders how much of that was an act to get attention/camera time. Especially since she hasn't shown a fear of heights in past challenges.

in Chicago, wasn't she still paying for a boob job and the cost of having to go in the hospital was another bill to worry about. I know she was really financially strapped (but think her BF came to her rescue).

Yep, Julie's not my favorite, but she got the job done. I think she doesn't like heights, but also just didn't want to be on the challenge right then. She certainly wasn't scared of heights back in that one challenge where she was tangling with Veronica while they were suspending between two tall buildings. Tonya's eyeliner distracts me so badly, sometimes I can't listen to her. But she does have all those issues like Max pointed out. I think she's matured quite a bit since Chicago, although sometimes not in the best ways. Those 3 girls were just awful though. Wasn't it not too long ago when everyone hated Tina? Short memory there. Now that Beth is gone, Tonya is the one they have to pick on. Good for Dan for giving some practical advice. Poor Miz is looking a little old for this challenge! I'm so glad he didn't fall.

Legalboxer, I'll comment for you..hah hah! Those 3 girls act like classless bullies. They are getting harder and harder to watch. Dan redeemed himself in my eyes somewhat (because of what he said 2 weeks ago)with his speech to them. Maybe he's finally seeing the light. Anyone catch when the Bad Guys were voting and when they wanted to vote for Mike (AGAIN)someone said it's not fair...to which Tina immediately said.."Fair...this isn't about fair..it's about money." Well, well..how very hypocritical of her when she had the nerve to harrass Jodi for voting Veronica in. Umm...I think she said it wasn't 'fair.' Imagine that. Again, I don't get why it's okay for the Bad Guys to continually vote Mike to the Inferno. Why didn't they negotiate that in the meeting? Seems like RR/RW producers should put something in about someone only being able to be voted to the Inferno twice in a row or something. Silly me, I actually thought for a minute they weren't going to vote for him. Don't ya just love how the gang that runs that team doesn't listen to a thing the rest of the team says? It would make my week if the Good Guys voted Veronica into the Inferno again next week. They should do that to the Bad Guys until they quit voting Mike in.

Okay, okay I broke down and watched this and then I was sorry that I did. It's hard to feel sorry for Tonya because a few weeks back, she was just as bad as the other three. I can't even watch the three of them talking smack and then acting like they don't. I just loved Dan!

I can't figure out how they determined who should be on the good guy or the bad guy team. Seems like they've misplaced some of them. I wouldn't have Dan on the Bad guy team & I would probably have Brad on that bad guy team because didn't he get arrested 2 or 3 times while on his original show - that sure seems bad guy like to me.

Texasdeb, Prior to the season, fans could go on and vote potential cast members as "good" or "bad" for this challenge. I think they were calling it "Devils vs Angels" or something like that at the time. I don't know how/whether this voting info was actually used, though. I would definitely agree that a few of the players don't seem to belong where they've been placed.

Then wait a minute - how did Julie end up being a good guy? She was down right bad,bad,bad in the last challenge she was on. Heck, she had Veronica frightened!
