No, Landon and Shavonda didn't last long. They are friends, but not anything else. I agree that it's hard to feel sympathy for Karamo -- can't see him past that huge chip on his shoulder! Mike was definitiely in "The Miz" mode when he went into the inferno arena. I was wondering if he was going to be able to "forgive" Landon. Nice to see him calm down about it relatively quickly. I'm not sure he would have done so in past seasons.

Karamo wanted Landon Karamo got his wish I think Mike was surprised and maybe even a tiny bit relieved that Landon wanted to go in the Inferno. Mike had said (last week?) that there probably wouldn't be any other guys going to the Inferno because the other team would keep chosing him until he finally lost and had to go home, and Mike does NOT want to go home. Tina talking smack and Abe loses it and throws a glass outside. This scene didn't look real. Something about their facial expressions made it look like they were just playing around for the camera and Mike was sitting there watching them like it was skit. Heh

Mike just didn't want Landon to leave, he was so relieved that Landon won. Mike is a nice guy, I love him! Karamo was ridiculous for not going in the water, good thing he wasn't on a real show like survivor or amazing race, he'd be laughed out of there so fast

Well I'm glad that Karamo is gone because he just seems to be so negative (he was like that on his real world show too). I'll tell you why we see alot of the same folks on these challenge shows - plain & simple, they make good TV watching. Can you imagine a season with all Jamie's, Jodie's, & some of the others that are too easy to forget. I'm talking about the folks that don't stand out in the challenges & don't cause drama & get very little air time. I say keep bringing back the Mikes, Corals, Veronicas, CJs, Abes, Tonya's, Tinas, Dereks, Dans, & so many others that are the reason I even watch this show & leave the dull folks behind.

Not going in the water was pretty dumb. But then again, if he's afraid of the water, he's afraid of the water. Phobias about water are a pretty serious thing and not easily dismissed. Yeah, he would have been wearing a float vest, but that doesn't make the phobia go away. (I remember in college my lifeguarding class met in the pool right after the adult beginner swim class. It takes an awful lot of patience to teach an adult who isn't a good swimmer to be comfortable in the water. Very hard for me to relate to since I could swim before I could walk. I dont' blame the bad guys team for being glad Koramo was going, but they didn't have to be so rude about it all. No surprise that these guys are on the "bad" team, is there?

Koramo doesn't have a lot of social skills which makes it easier for his team to write him off so easily. You know, there is also the money factor...many of these people need to WIN. Having someone that doesn't "do" water and suposedly sleeps all day might not be the strongest peopson at a mission...althoubh they seem to be winning.

If you truly have a phobia of water you shouldn't agree to do this show - if you have watched it before Water and Height are always used!!

I am sure that the producers included Karamo for the very reason that he would have issues with his team. I can only imagine what a Real World season with CT and Karamo in the same house would be like.

Nothing about karamo having a phobia, he simply doesn't like cold water, who does???? I know I don't. Karamo didn't even say he had a phobia, he just didn't want to, end of story. Your right Sassy, how could you possibly go on any challenge show if you have a water or height phobia...

I really didn't get the whole water thing, anyway. All they had to do was swim out to the float and climb on. If they got knocked off, they were back in the water, but I don't know why he couldn't have swum to shore and gotten out at that point. It just seemed like a silly excuse to be obstinate. I think Karamo has control issues.

Is it just me or does anyone else not see what was wrong w/ what the good guys did w/ the vote and why are they ONLY blaming Jodi for it?

The only thing I saw wrong about it was that they thought of it before the Bad Asses did. LOL Veronica as much as said that in her confessional. Poor Jodi doesn't have a thick enough skin to take all the abuse she's getting. As Tina pointed out, this plays right into the Bad Asses' game plan -- they know if they keep harrassing her, she won't be mentally prepared for the Inferno. What they better watch out for, though,is pushing too far. Because if Jodi gets ticked off enough, she'll turn from a little weeping kitten into a big roaring lion and kick their butts.

They decided that if Julie or Jodi was picked they would go w/ Veronica and if Jamie or Shavonda was picked they were going w/ Tonya. Not sure how Veronica hearded about it but they all started flippin' about how shady that was. I don't get why -- no one said that was against the rules.

Because the Bad Asses had to declare who they picked first, the Good Guys got to be flexible. Really what they decided was that whichever gal got picked had free reign to name the person she wanted to face. Jodi and Julie both wanted Veronica, while the other two wanted Tonya. It was a reasonable thing to do, IMHO, and certainly not against the rules. Even Veronica admitted that; she was mostly ticked off that they thought of the strategy before she did. LOL

Pretty smart on the part of the Good guys! Now neither team is going to want to name their oposing teams player for the inferno 1st. They will prob. end up having to give it to johnny (or whatever the host's name is) in writing & let him read them.

I think they've been alternating each time as far as which team names the Inferno person first. The Good Guys caught on to that and used it to their advantage. Now, we'll have to see if any mention of this tactic gets made by Johnny.

The boring host is Dave Mirra. Johnny was cheesy, but I liked him. The Bad Guys claim they are upset because the vote was changed at the last minute. From what I can see, as long as the whole team agreed that it was okay for Jodi to pick Veronica at the last minute, then there was no change. Their vote was essentially whatever Jodi wanted. However, it did just look like Julie and Jodi talking it over, so I'm not sure the whole team was in on it 100%. The Good Guys should have never left Jodi alone to be ganged up on like that. Julie and Mike should have stuck with her at least. I do hope that she stops worrying about if everyone hates her and gets ticked off enough to win the Inferno. I've heard enough of Tina's big mouth and made up words. Jamie just gets more beautiful every time I see her. I just have no sympathy for Tonya. She's objectified? This is the chick who was flashing everyone at the pool last challenge and pretty much canoodling with every guy there. CT is rude, no doubt, but Tonya ought to expect it.

This season's "Johnny" is Dave Mirra. I didn't really see anything wrong with what the Good Guys did either. What did bother me was that nobody on the team seemed to be standing up for Jodi at all. Sure, they were comforting her once she walked away, but they were just watching while the Bad Guys bullied her(with the exception of Julie during the exchange with Derek). It was Julie's idea and something the team agreed on, I felt like they should have stood with her as a team in the aftermath.

I should always refresh before I post Not1Worry...looks like you covered all that I said! If I'd refreshed, I could have just said "I agree".

I missed last night, so I can't give my opinion on what happen. I recently started reading Dan's blog. Scroll down just a bit to "My, My, My" journal. He explains his side of the story (his side of the story didn't make much sense to me since I missed the episode..but you might get it). Here's the link to his site: http://danrenzi.typepad.com/

Oh the BA were a bunch of whinny sore losers. Veronica being the worst of the lot. I hope Jodie pulls it together, mentally. Now what will happen if Jodie wins the life shield? Who goes in her place. As much as I dislike Veronica, she does make the show fun to watch when she goes balistic. I don't remember seeing Jodie on RR or RW and I thought I've seen at least some of every season???

Thanks for the link Abby. That does put a different spin on what we saw. I'd love to hear opinions from some of the other people involved, though. Does anyone know if any of the other cast mates are posting about the show on their web pages?
