The "blonde chick" played the game. Paula coasted and assumed.

I'm glad Evan didn't call Paula's name tonight. I can't figure out how Evan "screwed" Paula by not calling her name, but she didn't think she "screwed" him last time by messing him up with his alliance. I can't stand Paula, I hope she goes very soon.

Me too.

===

The competition had them standing on one rope and holding one over head, over a yucky muddy bog thing.. 3 or 4 at a time. As last week's winners Rachel and Mark got to choose the order, position and combination of people at one time.

MJ, Issac, Brad and Davis -- MJ won (lasted longest)

Mark, Dunbar, Drek, Landon -- Landon won

Eric, Evan, Nehemiah -- Nehemiah won

Then MJ, Landon, Nehemiah competed and Landon won.

Diem, Aneesa, Brooke, Kimberley -- Kimberley won

Rachel, Katie, Jenn, Paula -- Paula won (just barely when the last three, Rachel, Jenn, Paula, fell together.

Brittni, Tori, Ruthie -- Ruthie won!

Ruthie, Paula, Kimgerley -- Ruthie won

Ruthe and Landon were safe and got to start the picks.

They picked Brittni (Landon's partner)
Brittni picked Mark
Mark picked Rachel
Rachel picked Brad
Brad picked Tori
Tori picked MJ
MJ picked Aneesa
Aneesa picked Isaac
Isaac picked Katie
Katie picked Eric
Eric picked Diem
Diem picked Evan
Evan picked Kim
Kim picked Derek
Derek picked Jenn
Jenn picked Nehemiah
Nehemiah picked Paula, leaving Brooke
Paula picked Dunbar (leaving Davis)

Brooke picked Brittni for the Duel (because she is a rookie)
Davis picked Evan (because Evan is a bully)

Brooke and Brittni played Back Off but Brook basically wouldn't play hard and was easily eliminated.

Davis and Evan played Spot on which turned out to be part puzzle, part physical. After totally melting down, Evan pullled off the win and Davis left.

Guys:

Adam out due to fight w/CT
CT out due to fight w/Adam
Nick out in first duel to Ryan
Ryan out in second duel to MJ
Davis out in third duel to Evan

Landon
Mark
Brad
MJ
Isaac
Eric
Evan

Can anybody tell me what exactly Evan did that was so shady that none of the other players haven't done as well? I don't really get why everybody is so down on him.

I'm not really sure but I was sorry to see Nehemiah go... but I was proud of Jen! Even with a sprained shoulder she killed it in the dual...

Funny, Jen fooled around with guys in her RW season but now she's obviously a lesbian - but her and Rachel are cute...

I tell you, these challenges are TOUGH.. no one gets a free ride in this show!

I'm not too sad to see Nehemiah go. I think he knew Evan was still hurting from the previous against Davis and that was a big factor in his picking him. I've never been a big fan of Nehemiah's for some reason.

Nerovh... that's why whoever it was picked Ryan in the dual too - cuz he was tired...

I knew when they showed Evan struggling that he was gonna win... whoever I root for always loses :-(

I just think Nehemiah is really cute, I also liked Nick - both gone :-(

Yeah I was bummed that Nehemiah was gone (especially since he seemed to be allied with Ruthie) and I like him.. And I was SO wanting Evan to go home. Was a little bit encouraged when Evan did not win the competition, but noooo. Still I'm glad they keep calling him into duels.. maybe he'll get tired from all his whining about that.

I really wanted Evan to leave before he does hurt someone, as he threatens to do, and I am totally OVER his "narratives".

And while I was sort of happy that Jenn beat out Katie.. the fact that Paula was happy about it made me cringe.

The competition had them in male female pairs. First the guy would run up a hill and get in a "Luge" and ride it back down the hill. Then the girl would do the same. Then they would go and solve a puzzle. All of this was done while wearing large "bobbleheads".. actually like lampshades with ugly characatures of the person with really ugly ears sticking out.. they could look ahead through a round opening, or down. It was pretty creepy.

Landon and Brittni won. Brittni was particularly smug that she is doing so well for a rookie (seems to me that the only thing she's done besides beating someone smaller in one duel is ride Landon's coattails since he is very strong and she apparently hooked up with him immediately so he will protect her to the end).

So they were safe and got to start the chain of pics..

They picked Rachel (because she picked them before)
Rachel picked Mark
Mark picked Tori
Tori picked Brad
Brad picked Diem
Diem picked Evan
Evan picked Aneesa
Aneesa picked MJ
MJ picked Kimberly
Kim picked Derek
Derek picked Katie
Katie picked Eric
Eric picked Ruthie
Ruthie picked Isaac
Isaac picked Paula (leaving Jenn)
Paula picked Dunbar (leaving Nehemiah)

Jenn (who had an injured shoulder and was told by a doctor she should go home, but she decided to fight it out..) picked Katie for the duel

Nehemiah picked Evan (because he's a bully)

The guys played Elevator and once again, Evan did poorly at the beginning and was whiny (oh and he also cheated.. they were supposed to remain SEATED and he got up on his knees before being yelled at by the host, but.. guess he gets a psss on breaking the rules) but then at the end he squeaked out a win. Nehemiah went home. Evan became smugger than ever. He's really happy to live to fight another day because so far he hasn't been in a position in a duel to hurt someone physically.. cause pain.. and that seems to be his goal, so he says.

The girls played Pushover and Jenn won 2 - 1 so Katie went home. Jenn celebrated by hooking up with Rachel (they had been "estranged" since their hookup on a previous challenge season). Paula and several others acted like the Florida cast and opened up windows so they could listen in.

Guys:

Adam out due to fight w/CT
CT out due to fight w/Adam
Nick out in first duel to Ryan
Ryan out in second duel to MJ
Davis out in third duel to Evan
Nehemiah out in fourth duel to Evan

Landon
Mark
Brad
MJ
Isaac
Eric
Evan
Derek
Dunbar


Girls:

Shauvon out in first duel (vs Aneesa)
Robin out in second duel (vs Kimberly)
Brooke out in third duel (vs Brittni)
Katie out in fourth duel (vs Jenn)

Brittni
Rachel
Tori

hmm. maybe I'm the only one watching and not all that motivated to keep up but I did get through the latest two eps today.

After Nehemiah and Katie went home.. Brad and Eric celebrated birthdays, Paula tried again to get Dunbar to boink her, he didn't. Dunbar plotted against Landon.

So.. as the last winners Brittni and Landon got to choose the order for the pais competition.. this was where they were 360 feet up, with the female member of the pair being held by the wrists (and holding onto the guy too) over the drop for as long as possible then she'd swing, scary.. advantage to go last to know what time to beat and see what strategy worked best.

1. Paula/Dunbar
2. Derek/Kimberley
3. Eric/Jenn
4. Issac/Ruthie
5. Brad/Tori
6. Evan/Diem
7. MJ/Aneesa
8. Mark/Rachel
9. Landon Brittni

Mark and Rachel won.

They got to start the picking.

Mark/Rachel picked Landon
Landon picked Brittni
Brittni picked Evan
Evan picked Diem
Diem picked Brad
Brad picked Tori
MJ picked Aneesa
Aneesa picked Eric (she was supposted to pick Isaac)
Eric picked Jenn
Jenn picked Derek
Derek picked Kimberly
Kimberly picked Dunbar
Dunbar picked Paula

This left Isaac and Ruthie to go to the Duel

Isaac chose Landon; Ruthie chose Kimberly

Ruthie vs Kimberly in Back Off and surprisingly, Kimberly won. Ruthie went home :-(

Isaac vs Landon in Spot On and Landon won. Isaac went home.

So, in the next episode lots of angst with Paula still wanting Dunbar (he still says no, has girlfriend) but Dunbar friends with Kimberly which makes Paula crazy. (crazier).

So they had ladders hanging from a giant crane.. the "rungs" of the ladder being quite far apart and very hard to climb up. They had to climb up in pairs and then at the top pull up a flag. Fastest to the top won. Mark and Rachel determined the order.. again, better to go last.

1. Derek/Kimberly 18:18
2. Paula/Dunbar 12/08
3. MJ/Aneesa DQ over lowest time
4. Eric/Jenn DQ
5. Evan/Diem 10:29
6. Brad/Tori 7:24
7. Landon/Brittni 4:23
8. Mark/Rachel .. after commercials, etc, told they were 11 seconds apart..

Landon/Brittni won (zzzzz)

Landon/Brittni picked Mark
Mark picked Rachel
Rachel picked Brad
Brad picked Tori
Tori picked Evan
Evan picked Diem
Diem picked MJ
MJ picked Aneesa
Aneesa picked Evan
Evan picked Jenn
Jenn picked Dunbar who was left to choose Paula who had been acting really nasty and demanding of him or Kimberly who has been nice to him and a friend. He wimped out and picked
Paula

This left Derek and Kimberly to go into duels.
Derek chose Eric, they played the climb the pole thing and Derek won. Eric went home.

Kimberly chose Jenn and they played Push Off and Jenn won. Kimberly went home. Paula was gleeful. Dunbar was bummed. Rachel was happy that Jenn stayed.
Guys:

Adam out due to fight w/CT
CT out due to fight w/Adam
Nick out in first duel to Ryan
Ryan out in second duel to MJ
Davis out in third duel to Evan
Nehemiah out in fourth duel to Evan
Isaac out in fifth duel to Landon
Eric out in sixth duel to Derek

Somebody send Paula home already. I'm sorry Kimberly left, I liked her after seeing her win 2 duels. Paula and her jealousy over a guy who has zero interest in her are just too much for me. I wonder if she realizes what a fool she makes of herself over all these guys.

I'd like a double header.. Dunbar AND Paula to the duels and out.. and yeah Evan for sure.

I'd like to see Landon and Brittni squirm at least.

Sea, I look forward to your updates on the show, because I always seem to miss it, so at least I can keep up on who has left, and try to find some reruns. Thanks for keeping up with the show and posting about the challenges, the picks and the duels!

Diem is getting on my nerves too. I wouldn't want to be her partner. She needs to shut her mouth while competing in the challenges - it has to be very distracting for her pour partner.

FINALLY! Paula is gone! I was beginning to think we were going to have to drop a house on her lolol.

Why doesn't anybody ever call out Diem? She looks like she would be a pretty easy opponent in some of those duel games. I know she runs, but she doesn't seem to be very strong and she loses her head fairly easily. Is it still the leftover "pity" from her bout with cancer, or what? I used to really, really like her but she's starting to annoy me now. I don't enjoy seeing people who can't perform ride others to the end.

And as much as I used to really like Evan, I wouldn't feel all that bad about him leaving now. He seems to have gotten a big head or something.

Don't know where all the Evan hate comes from, he wasn't even in the last challenge! I like everyone who is left at this point, and actually liked Dunbar too - it wasn't his fault that Paula has such erratic behavior.

I agree with the comment about Diem not ever being called out - unless they are worried about CT coming back on a future challenge and knocking them around! I do not think that the duels I have seen so far would be anything she would particularly shine at.

I don't hate Evan, I just don't seem to be rooting for him the way I was. Maybe he just annoyed me a little the other night when he was trying to talk to Paula. Instead of tip-toeing around the bush, he should have just told her flat out, "I didn't turn my back on you, you screwed me up with my alliance and I had to change the way I was playing. I can't be sure of what you're going to do, so I had to stop counting on you." I don't understand why people don't just tell Paule TO HER FACE "You're my friend but sometimes you act unstable."

I liked Dunbar and I actually wish he had stayed the other night instead of MJ but I wish he had manned up and stood up to Paula as well. She's not a good competitor, she's not a nice partner, and she's not a reliable ally. Somebody needs to tell her the truth, and if she doesn't want to be their "friend" afterward, then they are better off because she doesn't seem like much of a friend to anyone the way she is now.

Well, it could very well be that some of those very frank discussions with Paula really do happen and that we just don't see them. They happen in the confessionals, so she has heard them by now, anyway!

We get to see Landon and Brittni celebrating the win, Paula wanting Kimberly to go home because Dunbar hangs out with her. We see Dunbar having to choose between Paula and Kimberly and choosing Paula, Kimberly having to go into the duel, choosing Jenn, Derrick picking Eric. Derrick winning and then Kimberly being sent home. Dunbar not happy with Paula. Paula just being evil.

So.. competition day.. Rachel tells us only a few are left. Paula complains about Evan and Dunbar, says Dunbar is mad at her and she <bleeping> doesn't care.

Tori tells us she and Brad could walk away with $200,000. A lot of money. Aneesa thinks she is "in the middle" in challenges. Diem tells Dunbar he needs a guy pal. Dunbar misses Kim. Diem rolls her eyes. Says four more challenges, might be individual now (thought this was teased already) Diem thinks Dunbar will go into the duel all the time if he dosn't win.

MJ talking about working on a second child, soon. Needs the money, basically all the others would waste the money.

OK, really time for the challenge. Lake. We see a hanging rack with lines down to the ground and barrels. Structure with 7 rope pulley systems over the lake TJ tells them today is an individual challenge. Evan is pleased. My time to shine, be a champion.

They are suspended below their rope, have to use pulley system to get their own flag down to the barrel as soon as possible. When six are successful, the seventh person's barrel will explode, dropping them from the competition (and into the water). Elimination continues until only one person is left. Final guy and final girl win, safe from duel, safe from elimination.

Guys up first. (will Landon win?)

Derek complains about the tightness of the harness.

Landon plans to pull fast. Brad wonders if you save energy or go fast and then rest.

Derek is out first.

Dunbar out second.

MJ says he is gasping for air, and he's out third

Evan complains, cannot breathe, asks to be dropped. Evan disqualified. Aneesa worried.

Brad winning most heats, all fatigued. Legs asleep.

mark out next.

Down to Landon and Brad.

Brad out and.. what a surprise! Landon WINS.

Girls next.. already cold and apprehensive..

Paula says she has to win or she's going into the duel.

Evan mentions that Diem fears heights.

Paula out first!

Jenn out second.

Tori claims she is passing out

Tori disqualified. Rachel says Tori ran out of gas.

Aneesa out.

Diem out.

Brittni vs Rachel..

Rachel says she has beat Brittni every round..
Brittni wants to prove she can wih without Landon.

But.. Rachel is out.

Brittni wins. Landon says it established her as the strongest female in the house.

Yawnnnn. Soooo, they win and once again the pecking order is started by Landon and Brittni.

Evan is talking as "we" keep winning.. says Dunbar, Derek and MJ will be at bottom.

Brittni tells us they were deliberating. They want to protect Brad and Mark.. after that don't care (nyah Evan)

Landon and Brittni pick Brad
Brad picks Tori
Tori picks Mark
Mark picks Rachel
Rachel picks Evan
Evan picks Diem
Diem picks MJ
MJ picks Aneesa
Aneesa picks Derek, leaving Dunbar
Derek picks Jenn, leving Paula

For the duel

Paula picks Aneesa and picks Back Off Paula not happy, says she isn't "in it" right now

Dunbar picks MJ and picks The Elevator MJ thinks he can win, maybe. Dunbar punching walls ans things.. Evan coaches MJ on The Elevator. MJ misses his family at home.

Paula and Dunbar argue. Paula is pissed, they argue about Kim. He says his allegiance waa always to Paula (and he did pick her over Kim) but Kim was his friend.

(ed: can I go on record as saying this is pretty much the most boring season, ever?)

Dunbar complains to the guys about Paula, Paula grins as she overhears. Evan complaining, too.
Evan confronts Paula, who claims to be a pawn. Paula tries to guilt trip Evan, then when he claims to want her there, she says "name a REAL person" (nice) Evan tells us Paula needs to go in and kick ass, instead of crying at him, making out with Dunbar. He tells Paula he is there for her and she shrugs it off. Evan says he loves Paula but it is hard on their friendship being there.

Dunbar goes to talk to Paula, asking why she is being so mean to him. She tells him his reaction isn't a big deal.

Dunbar tells us Paula will always be his friend, but BS when she makes him feel bad.

She seems to enjoy this, says she is a great partner.

(uh, with friends like these??)

Paula now claims she is back in the game. Sort of a fifth grade sort of antagonistic courting.. or maybe 3rd..

Aneesa braids MJ's hair and they meditate with Brad and ?

Duel: Dunbar vs MJ first on the Elevator. Pulley system designed for speed only; weight not a factor. Raise your opponent to the top first, win. To start, MJ struggles, Dunbar looks strong.
But MJ hears his daughter's name, Bella Rose and he wins. Dunbar goes home. Paula is upset, says the only guy with her back.

And now the women's duel, Paula vs Aneesa: Anessa points out that she and Paula have each won a duel against the other (past seasons). Aneesa gets the first ring. Each get a ring but Aneesa hangs hers and wins. Paula Buh Bye..

Guys:

Adam out due to fight w/CT
CT out due to fight w/Adam
Nick out in first duel to Ryan
Ryan out in second duel to MJ
Davis out in third duel to Evan
Nehemiah out in fourth duel to Evan
