I watched. The voting is different and I think it'll make a little difference in the in-fighting.

I did. I was wondering why a thread hadn't been started yet. Thanks Cdbga for starting one.

Should be interesting. I like the voting rules this time. And thankfully no Coral!

Looks like some good fights this season - of course ;)
But it looks like 2 guys really go at it outside a bar or something. So I wonder if they'll get kicked off.

Can't wait to see the Tanya drama.

Has anyone checked out the "After Show" website? Yes, I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff, so I checked it out. Interesting.

LOL at Alisons! I watched it. It's going to be the same old, same old. I think it's time for Mike and Veronica to get a life, what are they, 50 by now?

Mamie316, one of the funniest things I've read about these "folks", and I think I read it here is that Mike and Veronica will be doing these challenges even when they are being spnsored by Depends.

Seriously, does anyone know if these people have day jobs?

Beth is probably the oldest one.. well maybe Jon as well..

I haven't seen an episode yet but recorded what I assume is the first one overnight so I'll get caught up. Only seeing this thread woke me up to the start of the season.. I got so bored with real world that I stopped watching that and now here are a raft of characters from that season :-(

I don't get Julie's placing either. She's been one of the most evil people on the challenge shows.

Dan's also a sweetie. Why is he on the "bad" team.

Maybe B/M wanted Julie to be in a group with mostly newbies, people who don't know her yet, so maybe she'll have a more neutral experience this time around.

I loved Dan's statement that if the Inferno competition is breaking rocks on his forehead, then Mike will win, but if it is singing Madonna songs he will win!

Okay, I'm a sucker for watching this stuff, but why do they leave a "cliffhanger" and then show previews of future shows that obviously let us know who is losing the first Inferno face-off? That's just cheesy.

I thought the same thing, Max. Sad, too.. I'll miss the humor.

(I caught up, obviously)

I couldn't get over Julie turning on the waterworks because Jon was leaving and saying he was the only one there with any morals. I kind of wish she would go home quickly, all those tears make me uncomfortable. LOL

The real puzzle to me is why some of the people are on the Good Team when they should be on the Bad Team and vice versa.

It irks me when Julie talks morals and lofty ideals, especially after she mouthes a cuss word to the camera. As always she is "holier than thou". I think Jon sized up the competition and realised he probably couldn't keep up physically for his team. He went all holy too, but I think he thought he would only drag down his team so this was an out for him.

Okay, so I got hoodwinked about who got the boot. :-)

Julie makes me nuts. Her new self-righteous act is really hard to believe. Now, I hope that she HAS seen the error of some of her previous actions, but for her to expect us to believe that she's such a wonderful person now -- apparently because she got married (?) -- is a bunch of hooey.

I think Julie is all about whatever gets her attention. First she was a "good Mormon girl" who seemed to get "corrupted" in New Orleans, then she became the evil crazy girl who peed on Veronica's bed (among other things) and who everyone hated. Now she's married and probably worked a deal with B/M to be put on the "good" team or else she wouldn't participate.

Jon does the holy roller stuff, but he's ALWAYS done that and it's always very subtle (okay, except for the t-shirt) and respectful of where others are in their beliefs. He lives his faith in every action he takes; something that Julie cannot claim by any stretch of the imagination.

Hmm and how is Julie any more of an "act" than Coral or Veronica or half a dozen more? If you don't "act" you don't get called back and I do believe she hasn't been doing all the bed hopping that all to many of the females do on these challenged. ACK! I don't mean the others pretend to be good or innocent but they pretend to be "right" or get all righteous in other ways. I'm truely grateful to have a Coral-free season here.

I seem to have missed the second episode so must catch up when I get to my DVR

I watched last night. This Inferno reminded me of Thunderdome, 2 men enter, 1 man leaves. But this whole thing is getting kinda old and tired to me which is probably why I haven't watched until now. I am glad to see Landon, Karamo, and Vonda though. Glad CT got a haircut. Never liked Julie or Veronica. I do miss Coral. Had no idea who Jon was.

I can't believe that I miss Coral too.

I'm glad to see Dan back, he was a always a good cast member.

Jon was the cowboy singer on season TWO.. and he's not aged as well as most of them.

I don't miss Coral but I do miss Ruthie.

And I'm sure all will agree that we are happy Julie didn't marry another Road Ruler or Real Worlder so we don't have THAT drama.

Also don't get Julie being on the good side, except she may have requested it because of her "conversion" again. I hope for her and her husbands sake it is true this time. Anyone know who she married and when? I still think we will see some of her previously seen deviousness and nastiness as in prior episodes...wait and see!!!

Katbry - I had that thought too, that Julie requested to be on the "good side" to participate.

Julie's pontificating really got to me. She reminds me of a con artist. She looks all sweet and innocent smiling into the cameras talking Christianity and morals. But we've seen the other side of her again and again, including in the confessionals for this season. So no, I don't by her "conversion" for an instant. When I see her all smiley and sweet like that, I'm looking for the knife hidden in her pocket.

BTW - Julie is looking good. She's slimmed back down and she looks much better with the bleach blond look than with the red or brown hair she's sported in other season.

As for Jon, he did come off as a little preachy, but I think he genuinely believes what he is saying he just isn't the most smooth or subtle at delivering the message. I think he really wanted to take one for the team and he wanted to represent a more moral choice for life. I think he did both. Kudos to him!!

Julie irritated me once again at the end of the show with her crying jag where she started blaming all the other guys on her team for Jon's demise. Sorry not buying it.
**One - she's casting stones - not very Christian of her.
**Two - it was Jon's choice to step up, no one else's. He came up with the idea on his own.
**Three - Jon probably was a liability to the team, he isn't that terribly fit. If he wants to strengthen the team or any of the rest of the teams wants to - what's wrong with that?
**Four - I wouldn't be so sure any of the other guys could have won that challenge either. Muscle bound guys aren't that good at hanging by their arms, no matter how big their biceps due to the weight. Dan was more slender than most, but still had some upper body strength. Top it off that he is tall, so he could get his legs out to try to knock the opp down. This challenge was a real good one for Dan.

I suppose Julie's just angling for air time? Perhaps those speaking engagements have been drying up and she's hoping to drum up some more business?

BTW - isn't Dan hilarious in his spots?!? I'm loving him, but I still don't think he should be on the bad guys.

I've always liked Dan but not liking the hair color. He does crack me up though.
