Finally! A Good Episode of The Ruins!

So this pasts weeks episode of The Ruins was by far the best. Partially because of the events that occurred, but I also liked how they didn't even start the challenge until a half hour into the episode. I honestly think that there was so much crazy shit going on that MTV wasn't showing us, but they finally unleashed it. I'm going to go down the list of things that happened and tell you my thoughts.

Brad and Darrell Fight- So the episode starts with KellyAnne having a birthday party. Well, Brad still isn't over the whole Casey drama and he ends up drinking way too much. He then goes into the Champions bedroom acting like a tough guy and starts provoking Darrell. I don't know how drunk Darrell was or even if he was drunk at all, but he repeatedly tells Brad to back off. When Brad pushes Darrell, Darrell gets Brad on the floor and lands a good 5 to 6 solid punches. They both end up getting kicked off.

IMO: I am very surprised that BRAD and DARRELL fought. They seemed like the two mellow-headed players on their team. I still like Brad because you cannot deny that he is a nice guy on TV, but I definitely do not fault Darrell for acting out in some way, I just think the way Darrell handled it was wrong. Dude, you won 4/4 challenges and were on your way to winning 5! Why would you mess that up, even if someone wanted to fight you?

KellyAnne Vs. Dunbar- Now this fight I find absolutely hilarious. Apparently Dunbar had been telling a bunch of cast members that he banged KellyAnne on the Real World: Sydney. When KellyAnne finds this out, she quickly denies it and becomes pissed with Dunbar. Even when Dunbar and Kim are discussing it in the bathroom, she is outside the door yelling things at Dunbar.

IMO: Now, I don't really know who to believe. If you watch Sydney, it does kind of look like they hooked up sexually. And we all know KellyAnne gets a bad rap for being a hoe and she could be trying to cover it up. On the other hand, we know how much of a meathead "Dummie-Bear" is and he could be saying this just to sound cool. KellyAnne is growing on me on this challenge and I love how she did not care about Dunbar possibly getting eliminated.

Susie Vs. Champions Team- So here's the dilemma. The only girl left on the Champions team is little old Susie. So she will be going into the elimination round no matter what every time. Susie believes that she should be allowed to choose who she goes against (cough *Casey* cough ). Well, the Champion Men love Casey because her sucky physical abilities are making them win. But Susie knows that the Challengers want to send Casey into the Ruins so if Susie throws the challenge, she will definitely get to go against Casey. In the end, the Champions win but Susie is convinced to pick Kim this time around.

The Challengers Are on a Roll

So just when I was ready to give up on the 'sorry of an excuse' team known as the Challengers, they didn't start winning challenges. LOL. Let's be honest, from the picture to my left, you can obviously tell there was SO MUCH chemistry and they were all excited to win! (note the sarcasm).

BUT (and that is a big "but") they have managed to win all of the Ruins in the last 2.5 episodes. Starting with Sarah in episode 4, the Challengers have managed to keep there team of 7 players. Now don't get me wrong, even though the Champions and Challengers both have 7 teammates, the Champions is definitely stacked with 5 guys compared to the Challengers 3 guys.

Now if we look at it, since there are only two more girl ruins (Susie and Johanna are the only girls left on the Champions team), that means most likely two Challenger girls will make it to the end for sure. Let's pray Casey isn't one of them ;)

In my opinion, I hope that Brad is able to take out one of the guys in the Johnny-Derrick-Kenny-Evan alliance because they do not deserve to win. Not because they are mean to other people or the back-stab there fellow teammates, but simply because they are ANNOYING AS HELL. I would have said I hoped Cohutta makes it to the end but at this point he's the smallest, has the least power in the house, and has the most money in the whole house with a whopping $18,650.

Tomorrow I will be blogging about my opinions on the Champion team and who I want to advance. Please feel free to leave your opinions about anything I said in the comment box.

Nick Brown, Sarah Rice, Brad Fiorenza

What does Nick Brown (RW: Hollywood), Sarah Rice (RW: Brooklyn), and Brad Fiorenza (RW: San Diego) all have in common? Well for starters, they were all on The Real World and they all are currently a "challenger" on The Ruins challenge. But I wanted to post an article about all three, because they all seem to have a similar personality. All three seem to be the most laid back, chill people on the challenge and are very likable.

Nick Brown- Nick joined the Real World: Hollywood more than halfway through the show but was sure to leave his mark. He quickly befriended his roommates and ended leaving the show making friends. He then appeared on The Duel II but was targeted as a rookie and was eliminated in the first episode. But now Nick is back on The Ruins and is ready to compete. We know he has the potential to go far and we hope he does.


Brad Fiorenza- Brad appeared on the Real World: San Diego back in 2004. He's been on six challenges since then and has been unsuccessful all six times (was runner-up on both Duels). The Ruins is his seventh challenge and one of the only veterans on the Challenger Team. Brad, unlike most of the Champion team who are veterans, usually remains humble and doesn't get a big head. Will Brad's lucky number be 7? Let's hope so!


Sarah Rice- Sarah is one of the newest contenders to the Real World/Road Rules challenges. She appeared on The Real World: Brooklyn which aired from January to April this year. Sarah was a very open minded cast member on her season and tried to be understanding to all of her roommates. Although she did tiff with someone on her season, I'm sure she will play the back burner 100% on the Ruins. As long as she isn't taken out because of her rookie status, I think she can go far.
