I think she "mentioned" it in a voiceover at the very beginning when she was waiting to meet up with her castmates, maybe at the same time she mentioned her enhanced "boobilage" (to use Jun-ism)..

yes, she did mention it in the first episode where they introduced the cast. She said something about not wanting it to "define" her.

I have somewhat consistently watched Real World, but for some reason started watching Road Rules this season though I never had before. Imagine my surprise upon learning that Abe would be replaced by a new cast member...which happens to be my cousin's son, Chris!

Wow.. well so far he's sure to have made the family proud :)

Donnell looked really disappointed when they pulled it off tonight.. I think he thought that with Cara not participating that even his low score would be enough to keep him in and send her home. He pretty much admitted tonight that this is what it is about for him, sending others home and keeping him in. I thought he was a real skunk to be trash talking behind Cara's back and then loudly saying he wouldn't lie, when he absolutely was..

Yup, Donnell isn't just verbally abusive, but he's a backstabber too... what a surprise!

These people need to realize that what they say is on tape and if you lie, you will get caught.

Maybe he does like Cara as much as he can like anyone, but I believe her when she said she wouldn't do that to a friend.

I noticed Donnell looked disappointed when they won the challenge too. Now he knows the next challenge if they lose will probably be his fault.

This guy just gets more likeable every day [not].

Highdesert, that's cool! He seems like a real nice guy and he's doing really well so far. Maybe you could find out some tidbits for us... lol.

Donnell is one of those people who figure that sheer volume makes them "win" an argument. And in some cases that sort of happens because people just want to hit the mute button and stop fighting it.

I really hope that he doesn't win the "handsome reward" because that will only serve to further convince him that his tactics are those of a winner.

Highdesert, I hope you'll pass along to Chris' family that, at this point, they should be beaming with pride. Chris has been a good addition and has fit in quite gracefully and done himself proud on his challenges.

I'm late to this board, but I totally agree that Donell should have been kicked off along with Abe. Did they show the cast members the whole discussion leading up to the fight, or did they only see the fight itself? Donell totally antagonized Abe, and in fact, didn't he say afterwards, " That is exactly what I wanted to happen?" He has proven he has no problems lying, as shown in his conversation to Cara. He should be ashamed of himself, and I was really hoping he would be thrown off at some point. If he makes it to the end, I just might cry!! :)

I watched the latest episode last night. Made me cringe! When Cara was asking Donnell what he had said to the others and what his real feelings towards her were, it was SUCH a familiar scene for me! My ex-spouse used to act EXACTLY like that when I would ask him about things I thought he was lying about. The more I was on target, the more he accused ME of bringing distrust into the relationship and professed his UNDYING truth-telling skills. Just like Donnell did. I cannot tolerate people like that. There's no trusting them EVER about ANYTHING. ARGH!

Chris seems to be doing well at this point in time. An article I read from Chris' hometown newspaper reported that he used to be kind of wild, but has now found religion. It will be interesting to see if his beliefs are reflected on the show. The article went on to say that he is not supposed to talk about any specifics about his experience and that he would not be looking at any boards about the show, at least not at this point.
I wish I had some kind of insider info to relate, but I am really only getting to know Chris through Road Rules. I think I probably only met him a couple times...once as a little kid and later maybe when he was sixteen or so.

I'll be crying with you Kylah. I just can't stand Donnell and I'm only watching now cause I want to see him screw up the competitions. I really wish Abe hadn't been there when Donnell had to walk up all those stairs. He'd still be blubbering in a corner half way up.

Jeez, a cliffhanger tonight.. will they boot Donnell or Cara?

Seems to me that Donnell lost them this challenge.

Cara didn't jump but supposedly had hurt her shoulder, but they didn't lose that challenge.

Donnell baited their strongest player and has had to be assisted on several missions..

I can't figure out why they feel obligated to keep him.

Not to mention that he had already started sowing the seeds that she should be booted.

What a manipulator he is.

I know, I can't believe they're even considering not voting off Donnell. From the previews, it looks like Dave will go with tieing up the vote, at least that's how it looked, but who knows. Seems stupid if Dave doesn't vote off Cara cuz they're saying if it's a tie, nobody wins? It just doesn't make sense because Donnell is so terrible in the missions, sure he tries somewhat, but he still fails, and after the Abram incident I'd think it's a no-brainer. Didn't we get spoilers that Dave and Cara are a couple now? Oh well, guess we'll see next week. I gotta admit, that was a tough challenge yesterday, doubt I could get up an ice wall w/ just a pick axe.

I wish they would boot Christene. She prevaricated so much about Abe and wasn't nearly as supportive as she should have been about getting rid of him. Sure, she agreed with everyone else that he had to go, but you could tell her heart wasn't in it and she secretly wanted to condone his violence. I guess there should be some reward for her making the right decision--booting him out of there--but I think the appropriate reward is to goot her, too. Let her go hang with Abe so he can lash out again.

The only way I can see Christena being kicked off is by a random selection. That would be the only explanation for it happening at this point. AS for Donnell's speech about always being there for the team and being a friend to everyone ~ oh puh-lease! He really relies on people either being stupid or being intimidated by him. And I don't think these people are either. I think they are just trying to make the best of having been stuck with him in this situation.

And Max ~ totally hear where you're coming from. The more he lies, the more it's the fault of the other person. Just like how he put 100% of the blame on Abe for the fight. Can't wait to see him lash out next week if things don't go his way. He's a ticking time bomb when he doesn't get what he wants. Let's just hope that Kristin is right and the rumors about Christena are not true.

So Cara is booted and after campaigning to stay, Donnell blubbers like a baby. Not impressed.

New team member.. big attitude.

eh.

I think Donnell cried from sheer relief more than from sadness at seeing Cara go.

I was hoping there might be a shred of GUILT.. maybe thinking he might have stepped up like a man and said "while I want to stay, I know I'm dragging the team down, so I understand that I should go home".. but NOOOOO.

Oh I agree his tears were for himself, not for Cara.

ITA Sea. He knows he's messed up most of the missions, but the he's just being selfish Donnell. But you can't totally blame him, it was the stupid teammembers that chose to have him stay, what were they thinking?

The new girl seems alright, I'd like to see her and Donnell butt heads though and I'm sure it won't take long for that to happen.

Spoiler Alert! Spoiler alert! Do not read if you do not want to know!

Here is the spoiler from the RW/RR blog on who gets kicked off next.

And here comes news of who gets booted off of Road Rules. (Highlight to Read) We all know that Cara just got kicked out and was replaced by Tina. But now, who's next? As we were promised three changes... Well, the next to be voted off is Donell and he will be replaced by someone by the name of Jeremy. So the final cast to win the handsome reward will be Dave, Jeremy, Chris, Marybeth, Christena, and Tina.
