Tough Enough 3
Tweepee | Friday, October 25, 2002 - 08:22 pm     Another vacation update from an MTV show---just as "The Real World" gets to go on vacation to exotic places, "Tough Enough 3" is going someplace VERY cool. Budget Travel magazine's MSNBC Web site is reporting that the contestants on "TE3" spent about two weeks in Iceland at the beginning of September, and that the trip will appear in shows airing later during this season. Apparently they stayed in Reykjavik (the capital, where Bjork is from) and in Fludir, which is a pretty town near some amazing waterfalls, geysers, glaciers, and active volcanoes. Can't wait to see it! |
Luvmom | Saturday, October 26, 2002 - 07:57 pm     Tweepee, Do you have any favorites from the 13 selected yet? |
Tweepee | Sunday, October 27, 2002 - 12:58 pm     no i don't! hard to distinguish personalities during the frist episodes of this show... they can be such muscleheads that it takes longer for their individuality to manifest... at this point, i just know whose bodies i like the best (hubba-hubba)! what about you? |
Luvmom | Monday, October 28, 2002 - 07:47 am     Not quite yet,but I think Jonah was very sexy.Sometimes i find the bigger they are the wimpier they are.......lol |
Laura11103 | Friday, November 08, 2002 - 07:27 am     Well they're in Iceland now I believe (in the aired shows). Poor Jonah, he just can't get that flip right for some reason. There are still so many of them, but they definitely zero in on Jonah, Steven, the cute guy with blonde hair, a couple of the girls.... I enjoy this show, I like the above mentioned people, Jonah looks like Brendan Frasier... anyone else agree? |
Laura11103 | Sunday, December 01, 2002 - 12:54 am     Well it looks like not many people watch this.... This week's episode was very good. Jonah played a very mean-spirited, yet incredibly succesfful prank on his housemates. After he made a scene crying and carrying on about his head pain and dizziness, he was taken for an MRI scan and ultimately found that he is okay, but he pretended that he was very hurt while everyone broke down, bearing their souls on how much they love and respect Jonah. Jonah was "pretending" to be hysterical crying throughout everyone's emotional breakdowns over his illness, everyone was doing a very bad job of dealing with Jonah's unfortunate situation.... especially that cute blonde guy who IMO is the cutest and the future winner of this challenge. I think his name is Matt... he's awesome and I was satisfied w/ how everything turned out... Jonah pulled a very good prank, but I do believe he loves and cares about his housemates as much as they care and love him.... it was great drama and a fantastic episode IMO. Anyone else catch it? |
Luvmom | Sunday, December 01, 2002 - 06:40 pm     I totally missed it this week.I really wanted to see it.Thank you for letting me know what happened.I just saw a commercial about Jonah going to the hospital so i was a bit worried.Shows that he has the acting ability to be a wrestler....lol.Did anyone leave this week? |
Laura11103 | Monday, December 02, 2002 - 09:01 am     Yes, Steven.... it was sad, he was weird, but everyone really cared about him. This is a good group, they're all very bonded. I liked Steve, he was funny. Did you see the one where he invited that girl over from HS, he hadn't talked to her in 4 years... of course she didn't want to come for the weekend, he was really naive, but I felt bad for him. You've got to catch last week's episode on repeat, the trick Jonah played was to classic to miss. |
Luvmom | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 06:43 am     thank you laura, Wasn't it Scott though that made that phone call? I hope the episode repeats soon.I'd love to see it.I really like Matt and Jonah.Since they picked 2 girls in TE2 I hope Jonah and Matt win and they become a tag team. |
Laura11103 | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 01:03 pm     oh that's right, it was Scott, not Steve, Scott made the phone call and Scott got booted... |
Luvmom | Tuesday, December 03, 2002 - 05:02 pm     Laura, It repeated today on TSN>Yay!I got to see it.Boy did Matt lose it.I felt so sorry for him.Thanks for letting me know about Scott.I wasn't his biggest fan anyway. |
Bastable | Sunday, December 08, 2002 - 07:23 pm     By the way, they're not saying it on the show, but the hotel they are staying at during their Icleand workouts is actually the Hotel Fludir, about two hours east of Reykjavik, not the Hotel Lofthleider in the city itself. That's where Eric has his little tryst, but then they move out to the country but never explain that to the viewers. |
Luvmom | Tuesday, December 10, 2002 - 05:13 pm     I had a feeling Kelly was going this week. What a great prank they pulled on jonah to get him back for last week.I was laughing so hard I almost had to hit the bathroom myself.They got him real good. |
Laura11103 | Wednesday, December 18, 2002 - 01:18 pm     lol, that was funny, Jonah is a good sport. Kelly had to go, I was wincing everytime she got bodyslammed, her back just is to damaged to take all those hits. They so made us believe that Eric was getting booted cuz of his "behavior", glad that he didn't, we don't really know if that's against the rules. How about how that icelandic girl was checking out his passport and just being a pest by not leaving... not a good idea to take these foreign women home that's for sure. Looks like Jonah might drop out this week. But they're always messing w/ us, if they make us think it'll happen, it probably won't. |
Luvmom | Thursday, December 19, 2002 - 06:15 am     I hope Jonah doesn't leave.Mind you,I like all of the people that are left.It's going to be hard to see them go from now on. |
Laura11103 | Friday, December 20, 2002 - 09:08 am     Last night's show was funny! I LOVE Al, he's hillarious and the ribbing they do is just to funny. That was so funny when Eric I think jumped on the other guy's back, I was dying laughing. This is a great bunch, they all work hard and you can really see the trainers like this group a lot. I think they've got a good sense of being tough w/ the kids but still being sensitive. The girl (I'm so bad w/ names) is really tough and has really shown that she's tough enough (pun intended)... emotionally though, who knows, there were a few episodes where she came off very needy of attention and they were saying how screwed up she was, she got drunk in one episode and was freaking out.... who knows. I like Matt! He's a cutey and a real good guy IMO. Jonah needs to go, he's great and all but obviously not 100% sure and that's just not good enough. |
Max | Friday, December 20, 2002 - 09:26 am     Jamie (Diva burping queen) was on our local morning show (AM Northwest) today. She had a pair of boots from some WWE star (I forget who) that she said she was given when she "left the show." (aka, got the boot?) She seemed slightly nervous, but fairly poised. They showed her burping segment, but she declined to follow it up with a live performance. |
Ryn | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 09:07 am     The entire Season will be replayed from 5pm-11pm EST tonight on MTV. |
Max | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 09:18 am     So anyone have opinions on who should win? I think this is the most difficult season yet to choose just two winners. The final five are all good. Here's the order I'd rank them right now: 1. John - love his ability to do the high-flying stuff. I think he's the most athletic of them all. 2. Matt - Great stage presence as well as ability. 3./4. - Eric and Jonah tie. - I can't pick between these two! 5. Jamie - she is good, but she irritates me. BTW, there's still time to place a vote for who gets booted off before the final selection is made. Go to http://www.mtv.com/onair/toughenough/ to vote. |
Laura11103 | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 09:33 am     Max, IA, they're all very good. I love how this group has bonded. I only watched some of TE1 and none of TE2, but I love this season. It's gonna be a tough decision but I say definitely Matt, I LOVE him and whoever the guy was (John or Eric) who did that crazy flip that they said no one's ever done, he should get it just for being so athletic. Jonah is good but I don't think he wants it as bad as the others. Jamie is kind of annoying, I agree, but she's worked really hard, I think she sort of deserves it. |
Max | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:16 am     That was John. He really excels at the high-flying acrobatic stuff. I don't watch WWE except for Tough Enough, but I bet John would become popular fast with his acrobatics. ANd Matt seems like a total shoe-in with his in-ring personality. <BUUUURRRRPPP! Diva!> |
Ryn | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 12:45 pm     hmmmmm tv guide said the final show was tonight - 10-11 60 minute show, you mean it won't be resolved then?? I only watch it when I catch it, but I have seen several episodes. |
Ladytex | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 01:26 pm     It is going to be a tough decision. I think for sure Matt will make it after taking that beating from Bob Holly and the way he handled it. The other, I'm not sure. I love how this group has bonded together and it looks like the trainers really love this group too. The practical jokes have been priceless. Ryn, tonight at 10 is the final show. They will name the two chosen to receive the contracts. |
Laura11103 | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 01:33 pm     How about that beating poor Matt had to endure. I was horrified watching that and totally understood where everyone was coming from being upset about it. I understand that they say he's gotta be able to take it, but it sure seemed personal in that ring. I wonder what that was really all about. I was glad that they talked about it and got it resolved but it definitely took it's toll and all of them and I believe the viewers. That Bob Holly was a mean SOB who was just trying to show off IMO. What do you guys think? |
Ladytex | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 01:37 pm     I have to agree, Laura. I was appalled by the beating and it still doesn't make sense. I've not seen a real in-ring beating like that during regular matches. I felt so bad for Matt and I'm thinking that they'd better give him a contract for taking that crap. Bob Holly was never that nasty when he was the trainer, so I didn't understand why they had to do this now. |
Azlen | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 02:00 pm     Bob Holly is a bitter old mid-card wrestler who wanted to take his anger out on whoever was in front of him. He has been around a long time but has never been a star. Then he sees these kids who will probably have a bigger fan base than he has and he just couldn't control himself. The term "paying your dues" comes up alot but that is just code for older less talented workers trying to keep younger more talented workers in their place. |
Ladytex | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 09:58 pm     Good choices! I like both of those guys. Jamie cleaned up real well, didn't she? The spooky thing was that she looked alot like Chyna. |
Max | Thursday, January 23, 2003 - 10:36 pm     Woo Hoo! Just like I wanted it to turn out! I hope Jonah, Eric, and Jamie all continue to pursue careers. I think they could all be successful. |
Laura11103 | Friday, January 24, 2003 - 09:03 am     Good finale, Congrats Matt and John!!!! Ladytex, IA, Jamie did look like Chyna. I felt sorry for Jamie when she got booted, but her post interview was good, short, but good, she handled it like a champ. I don't watch wrestling but I do wish all of them well and look forwrd to TE4. |
Ladytex | Tuesday, January 28, 2003 - 11:53 am     I saw the two winners last nite on Raw ... they have a long way to go ... |
Scribe | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 04:47 pm     Don't watch wrestling - do watch Tough Enough - all three years - love it . |
Laura11103 | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 07:15 am     Same with me Scribe, except I haven't caught all the TE's, but will catch all the ones in the future, love that show! |
