I don't think I would have been able to stomach watching if Rachel, Veronica or Coral were on...yet AGAIN!

Wonder if they weren't asked or if they finally declined and found themselves real jobs and began their adult life. Anyone know?

Luv, that could be why (re: theo, coral and mike doing battle of reality stars)... that was such a good show w/out all the drama!

Jo simply freaked out, definitely overreacted, you wanna leave LEAVE but calm the hell down, no one tried to touch her or anything, Ruthie definitely must've been buzzed and I do think she needed to back off when it came clear that Jo was not calming down, but then it is hard to back down when one is buzzed and wanting to know what the heck is going on. We all know Ruthie and alcohol...

Luv, I agree, Tina was most annoying, glad she's not back.

I'm glad to see Brad and Randy again, Brad and Danny from RW always reminded of each other but I think Brad's a LOT cooler. Can't warm to Danny cuz I think he's an insecure and jealous but that's for the RW thread, lol...

Jo was not even in the same area that all the mischief was taking place.

Anyone else catch this last night? I like Derrek even though he's a little of a hot head. I never liked that Adam guy & am not sorry he & his better than thou attitude is out of there. I was sure glad that the rookies didn't loose because I like Alton & don't wish to see him have to defend being a captain just yet. I wander which girl team will win next time.

I saw it last night. I missed the first part of the deliberations when Derrick got aggravated (?) but saw the rest. Adam just never seemed like he was memorable to me. Jo was out there but then I was thinking about why she might have reacted the way she did and remembered that on her show she had to go to court because of an ex who was stalking her & I think was abusive. So that might be why she reacted the way she did even if it did come out of left field.

I'm betting that Mike, Coral, Veronica, and Rachel aren't on this season because they know they'd be captains and would get booted early. Their heads are much too ginormous to be early bootees!

Jo made a big scene, causing everyone to "bother" her asking what's wrong causing her to freak out. She should've just quietly gotten her stuff and left, don't think anyone would've noticed.

I was praying Adam would win. I agree that he was a bit of a know it all before bt then I saw him on the Eco Challenge, that guy is amazing just to take it on. Not to mention he's GORGEOUS! He's a real athlete, he's a leader and I think he really would've proved himself if he had the chance. So now we're stuck with same old Derrick, argumentative, annoying, getting into fights Derrick... I think he's been on way to many challenges and was very sad to see him win. Obviously the rest of their team was too. Oh well, name of the game. I'm rooting for the rookies this season!

Why in the world did Cameran bother coming to the challenge, only to quit without even trying??? Also, was it just me or did anyone else think that Ruthie looked drunk in that boxing match with Kina? Lastly, what's up with Anisa's screaming about her weight loss and being "hot"?

Cameran just came for the free vacation, but I think she should have at least pretended to compete in the Gauntlet.

I am sure Ruthie was drunk, that's all they do on these challenges is drink, smoke out (off camera) fight and shag (as Jo would say).

Aneesa was talking to and about Cara. Cara was the one recently did the Playboy spread. That's what she meant when she said "now you think you're all that"

I'll bet we don't see Cameron on another challenge show. It always seems like there are some just there for the free vac/party & another 15 min. However, alot of the folks who keep coming back challenge after challenge are really good contenders.

Yeah Cameron was a real disappointment this time and the last time she did a challenge. She's very sweet but obviously not cut out for this. I wonder if her and Brad are still friends...

Ruthie was definitely drunk as I'm sure Kina was as well, but that certainly got vicious and Kina's pretty darn tough, I'd have bailed out the first head bang on the floor and almost fall into the pool. Kina and Randy make a cute couple, great way to meet future b/f and g/f's being on these shows...

Ruthie did say she was drinking.

I am not surprised at Cameron's decision, but I am a bit disappointed that she didn't even make the attempt to look like she was going to compete.

The last time she was on, she outright said she wasn't into the competing, and really was there for the socializing/partying (something to that affect).
So I was surprised they even had her back.

Doesn't it seem like the teammates are making a big deal about the "couple" (Kina and Randy)? Most of the seasons had a "couple" (came in as a couple) and I don't recall it being a big deal to anyone but the couple themselves when one of them got booted out.
Maybe I just don't remember it.

I didn't get the Kina/Randy as a couple being an issue, either. There have been times in the past when couple-dom has been a big deal, but that was always when it came time to vote someone off (or to the gauntlet) and they knew one half of the couple wouldn't vote for the other half (I remember this a long time back with Holly/Chadwick, and more recently with Mike/Trishelle). But that doesn't seem to apply so much here, since Kina is a team leader and will always go to the ladies Gauntlet when the team loses.

It's bad to be a couple on these shows because the other cast members get jealous of two things 1) It means the couple has two chances to win because more then likely they probably agreed to split the money and 2) A lot of these kids (god it makes me feel old to call them kids!) are camera wh*r*s and they know couples ALWAYS get airtime.

I kept thinking these were re-runs so I'll catch 3-4 of them tomorrow, I guess..

Sorry Ruthie is drinking but she's still one of my all time favorites and especially on the challenges. I didn't really care for Jo in San Francisco.

Boy - that Danny on the rookie team sure is something else. He really was the weakest guy link on their team & seemed less of an asset in the piramid challenge than most of the women. Did you see how he was practically just laying on top of his team members & pokeing them with his bony knees & elbows. I was glad the rookies lost so they could get him out of there.

Yeah he was having some issues. And I didn't understand why the rookie team just stopped. Made no sense.

Danny has major issues - even if he has any justification to feel ganged up on (which i dont think he was - it was valid criticism) if he truly wanted to be a man he could have acted like one and not blow up every time some looked at him the wrong way (so to speak) ..

ETA looks like we are on the same page moxcha - and i agree, that was such poor thinking to stop and wait to see if the vets would finish - while i understand their thinking, it was just WRONG - winners never quit and you dont win by waiting for the other side to lose.

Guess that's why they're rookies. And MJ needs a haircut.

At the start of the Gauntlet, the host (don't know his name), was saying that the Rookies had lost the challenge, but not for lack of trying...and I was thinking "Umm, actually it was exactly for the lack of trying...they lost because they didn't bother to run the last leg, because they didn't think the veterans could make it"...I mean, they may have lost anyway...they might not have been able to make it, but they didn't even try. It surprised me that the host didn't call them on it, because he definitely called Cameron out about her quitting the week before.

As I understand it, the Vets were more than halfway into a lap of the pyramid contest when the Rookies were ready to start another lap. So, the Rookies would have to go farther than all the previous laps, and at a pace twice that of any previous lap, with people who were already exhausted ... and there were two outcomes they could hope for ... 1. that the Vets didn't finish, so the Rookies win ... and 2. that if the Vets finished and therefore tied the Rookies, the Rookies would be a little refreshed for the tiebreaker.

The Rookies were hoping the vets wouldnt finished so it would end up in a tie because if they finished the vets would win with one extra flag.

Like i said before while i understand their thought process i just think it was plain wrong - you dont win by hoping for failure on the other side and they shouldnt have just stopped with the thought that rest would have helped if there had been a tie BECAUSE that philosophy splits a team, it doesnt bring a team together.
