The Real World DC Begins December 30th

So I know you feel like you're just getting off a roller coaster after watching another season of The Real World/Road Rules Challenge, but pull yourself together because The Real World: DC is premiering in a week and a half.

Look at that sexy cast (SARCASM HERE). Could this group of people get any more...ordinary? But then again, that is supposed to be the goal of The Real World.

The Ruins Reunion: Any Last Words?

So this Wednesday at 10 PM EST, the Ruins will air it's final FINAL episode which will be the reunion. So far, I've heard that Katie, Susie, Veronica, Johnny, Johanna, Kenny, Dunbar, Evan, Sarah, Brad, Kelly Anne, and Wes will be there.

I cannot wait to see all of the issues and lies that will be brought to light. And with Katie and Veronica being there, I'm sure some crazy shit is gonna go down.

Anyways, check out this Challenge Daily where the cast of the Ruins talk shit about each other. I'll warn you:

• KellyAnne: "Kimberly, you need to wax your 'stache". (Someone is still bitter over Dunbar)
• Casey: "Evan, I would enjoy blowing the shit out of him." (WTF?!)
  
  

The Ruins Finale

So just as I thought the inevitable would happen, the sky would turn orange, hell world freeze over, and the Challengers would win, I was proved wrong by the Champions when they won the Ruins final challenge. Yes, you heard me, Johnny Bananas, undercover lovers Evan and Kenny, Derrick, and Susie were able to beat the 2 Challenger girls. Unfortunately, while Sarah and KellyAnne were ahead of the Champions team most of the time, the fact that neither of them were motivating one another to work faster lead to their defeat.

Well that's that. By the way, I put up 2 polls on the left of this poll, and would appreciate if you voted because I am really curious as to what you guys think of this season's challenge. And also, for your enjoyment pleasure, watch this video of Sarah bawling her eyes out. I love Sarah, but I don't know how much more crying I can take!

And the Winners Are...

NOT THEM!!!

The Best of the Best Challenge Dailies- Wes and Brianna

So I checked out the challengedailes.com site to pick up and interesting video for you guys, and I found a video from almost each of the cast members from The Ruins who gave their own input on the challenge. I found 2 very INTERESTING videos for you guys to dissect.

The first video is of Wes. Wes speaks to the youth of the nation (we are, we are!!!!) and tells them that neither he nor anyone else on these shows are role models for them. He tells them to do good in school and not look up to them at all when they are in the house and on these shows. I find this so funny because he caused so many fights on this show. But to each his own.




This next video is from one of my favorite Real Worlders, Brianna from the Real World: Hollywood. She gives a very emotional speech saying that she truly believes in the Challengers team and that they can be Champions if they try hard enough. I cannot get over how much of a difference this girl was on The Ruins compared to the Real World. She is definitely one of my favorites from now on.

TJ's Awkward Speech During Casey's Exit

Wow, I love TJ's bluntness about Casey. But seriously, is she the worst challenge player ever? We all know TJ has an attitude problem as shown on The Island when Ashli was eliminated. But that's a little harsh, even for an ex-BMX rider. Although my favorite quote from this clip is:

"Hopefully you'll go home, do some steroids like the rest of these freaks."

The Ruins- Muay So-Called Ruins: Episode 9

So we return to Kim and Susie playing the game called "Rag Doll" where they must grab on to Casey hair and see who can hold onto it the longest. Okay, no that's not the game, but that would be funny. Anyways, Kim and Susie are ferociously fighting while enduring the rain that is going crazy. It honestly started to turn me on for a second seeing these 2 blondes roll around in the rain. Susie begins to pick Kim up by the rope and slam her down and then pretty much sits on her, winning the game and eliminating Kim.

Dunbar and Johnny start and Johnny is a little nervous. These guys keep going back in forth taking turns knocking the other one on the ground. Dunbar starts to get the upper hand on Johnny because he's right behind Johnny and seems to be controlling the game so far. While Dunbar is on top of Johnny (pratically humping him), Johnny pops up on his feet with the rope, taking Dunbar's $2K. The Challengers suck now because they consist of just 3 girls (LMFAO).

So the next day, Johnny tells Kenny and Evan that Susie is gonna start slacking and throwing challenges as she did on the Inferno III. The Champions minus Susie huddle up and want to throw the next mission so Susie can go against KellyAnne because they know KellyAnne wants to take Susie's money. They are so afraid that they may lose the final challenge against 3 girls...WTF?

The challenge this time is on the top of a building. The player must run up a ramp over the building, grab flowers along the ramp, and put them in a vase. The Challengers go first and Sarah and KellyAnne are beasts. Then Casey goes and quits after 2 minutes. Johnny goes for the Champions, puts the flowers in his mouth, and drops them on purpose! The score is 9 flowers for both teams with just Evan to go and he ends up getting 3 flowers winning it for the Champions. TJ tells Susie she gets to choose her opponent because she's the only girl and she chooses Casey.

So in the final ruins, Casey and Susie are playing Muay Thai where they must kick and break a bunch of bamboo sticks before the other person. They both start off pretty good, Casey a lot better than expected. But it's not long before Casey falls way behind and Susie, OBVIOUSLY ends up winning. So the total amount of money in Susie's bank account in the end is $31.5K.

TJ tells all of the remaining players that the money they all have right now in their bank accounts is theirs to keep no matter what in the end. So the finale is 5 Champions vs. 2 Challengers.

The Ruins: Episode 9 Eliminations

So today, Dunbar and Kim went home at the beginning. And then surprisingly, after much anticipation, Casey has left Thailand. You can drop a comment about what you think below. The recap for this episode will be up tomorrow. Remember, next week is the finale!

Darrell Says He's Down With Another Challenge

These are excerpts from the interview Darrell Taylor did with RealityWanted.com.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Do you feel confident that, if that fight hadn’t happened, your team would’ve stayed true to their word and let you get to the finale?
A. Darrell: Yeah, I would’ve been there. They wouldn’t have screwed me. They like me and more importantly, they’re scared of me.

Q. Gina, RealityWanted: Was this your last challenge or do you have another one in you?
A. Darrell: Actually, I got one more in me. I wanna win, I’m not gonna lie. When they took everything away, our freedom and everything, I was like, “F this.” On other challenges, we would get to go out and get away from the game. It was an insane situation and we looked dumb. If you were us, you’d do the same crap.

I really do feel kind of bad for this guy because he seems really cool and it sucks that he messed up his winning streak. I think this guy should come back on a Duel-style challenge so he can win easily.

The Ruins Finale Spoiler Picture

So there's one more episode left of The Ruins and then the finale after that. Well, before the show even aired, there was a picture, courtesy of vevmo.com, that was floating around the web of the finalists from both teams.

Now I didn't want to post it before, because I didn't want anyone who hasn't seen it to be spoiled, but I figure now that we're so close to the finale, you might as well take a look.

CLICK HERE FOR THE FINALE SPOILER

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 Girls Left in The Ruins

The Challengers

Casey- She's a weak ass who seems to use this to her advantage by not getting picked to go into the ruins. If you didn't know, the Champions made a rule that for guys on there team, they would get to pick who they go against, except the girls don't have that same rule. That's why Casey hasn't gone in the ruins yet. She is really starting to piss off her team because they really want her off.

Sarah- Quite possibly one of the best girl competitor's ever because she is not only a strong player (she had won twice in the ruins) but she is very positive and doesn't freak out when her place in the game is jeopardized. I really am convinced this girl doesn't have a bad bone in her body. I think she is one of my favorites because she isn't annoying as hell like almost everyone else. Sarah FTW!!















Kim- I feel very indifferent about Kim. She did really good in the Duel II except she didn't have the numbers on her side. In this challenge, I sometimes forget she is there. She was able to win one of her ruins and I think she has a shot at making it to the end. Hopefully she comes back in another challenge as a veteran and can win because this challenge isn't looking good for her team.















KellyAnne- WOW! I hated this girl on The Island and on The Island Reunion. Except she has done a complete 180 for me. I am somewhat surprised at how good of a competitor she is (she won both of her ruins). I definitely think a match up between her and Susie would be awesome to see because they are both the strongest. KellyAnne is another I want to see return as a veteran.

The Champions

Susie- Poor Susie, all of the other old champion women have abandon her. Susie in some ways I believe is a little overrated. I didn't like her cocky attitude at the beginning but she has kind of grown on me now. Since their seems to be only 1 or 2 more ruins left before the finals, I'm not sure if she can take out 2 challenger girls. It definitely will be interesting to see who she goes against the next to ruins. (Off topic but this girl looks exactly like Teri Polo in Meet the Parents)

The Ruins- Silence Of The Ruins: Episode 7

So the people in Thailand have officially gone crazy. The whole house is out by the pool going insane and partying. That's when part of the cast starts playing truth or dare and Susie says she would bang Cohutta. Aw, there is love in the air. (And although Susie is the devil, she has delicious looking abs.) Oh yeah, and Kim gets nude. Even drunken Casey moons everyone. The mood could not be lighter, until Brad is seen pissed as ever. Um...he hates Casey because of her weak ass (it was expected, she's a fresh meater!)

Susie talks with Johanna and expects her to go into the next ruins since Susie has already been in once and she agrees. Except Susie thinks maybe they should throw it because the other team will put Casey in against one of the two. (Susie! And you call yourself strong)

So at the challenge, almost the whole Challenger's team is nominated with the exception of KellyAnne. For the Champions, both Susie and Johanna are nominated, and Evan, Kenny, and Darrell go in. So they challenge is that each player from a team has to roll down a hill in a tractor tire and hit the endzone. Once they finish, they have to roll the tire back up the hill and the next player goes.

The Challengers start off pretty good until "The She-Devil Who Must Not Be Named". I mean, don't get me wrong, the challenge looks hard as hell, but WTF CASEY!!! She just takes her good old time trying to push the tire up the hill and as her team tries to cheer her on, Brad continues to hate on her in the confessional. And when Sarah goes down, I wasn't sure if she was competing in the challenge or having an orgasm.

The Champions send the girls first who do fairly well. Then the guys begin to go and to much complaining, they do very well. While Kenny's does a flip in the air, Evan rushed to his side to check on him (how nice, Evan cares about his bf Kenny) So the Champions finish and TJ doesn't even sound enthusiastic when he announces there victory.

Back at the house, Johanna straight up, in a nice way, tells Sarah she has many more challenges ahead of her and she's going to pick her for the ruins. In deliberation, Darrell quickly gets up and chooses to go against Cohutta aka Mr. Money Bags from the Mountains. Johanna fakes the team out when she goes for Casey's plaque but then ends up chosing Sarah like she said. Johanna is worried about damaging her pride by possibly losing to Casey and embarrassing herself. (Please! You dated Wes, there's not much more to be embarrassed about after that.)

Susie talks to Sarah about how she really wants her to stay but also likes Johanna a lot. Sarah, with a smiling face, tells Susie she's staying positive and really wants to be here. (This girl is more inspirational than Oprah.) Cohutta finds out that he's going in the ruins for the 3rd time and he starts to get a little...shaky. (What did this guy do to deserve this? He must be a republican.) Susie also decides to give Cohutta a pep talk (Can you say...HOR-HOR-HORNY).

So the ruin game they're playing is called crunch where they are hanging almost upside down by there feet but have to stay above water with a weight on their chest with there abs keeping them up. The girls go first and Johanna is apprehensive because Sarah is staying up for a long time. JoJo (damn, my last time calling her this!) falls under water and then pulls her release, which means she loses. NO!!!!!! Suprisingly, Johanna is happy she's leaving.

Darrell and Cohutta start and this one is tense because the winner will get 30k+ in their bank account. Darrell seems to be meditating and Cohutta starts to struggle and ends up pulling his release and loses. So Darrell wins and now has the biggest bank account and he says according to his team, his is guaranteed a spot in the finals. Cohutta walks out with everyone congratulating him and he even gets a kiss from Susie. (Be careful, she might have Swine Flu.)

Back in the house, Brad seriously gets on Casey's case. (HA! That sounds funny.) Brad tells her everyone on the team, like Sarah and Kim, really want to win and she is making them suck. Casey puts up a very weak defense. (Casey, you know you're just here to get wasted and have sex.)

Cohutta and Johanna Make Their Exit

So sadly, the fierce little mountain lion and the Peruvian goddess were defeated this weak, leaving the teams in shambles. The Champions, although made up of mostly men, have was too much testosterone to handle and are going to crack any second. And the Challegers still have Casey who is a bigger deterrent to a team than the GOP is to healthcare.

Darrell went into the ruins against Cohutta so he could become the richest man alive (well, at least in this game). And he currently is now with $31,000+ (you could buy a lot of women with that). And Sarah went into the ruins as positive as ever and was able to beat Johanna. Johanna just doesn't have that motivational drive like she used to on challenges (wait, did she EVER have motivation?)

Anyways, I'll post a recap tomorrow evening sometime. For now, you can tell me what you think in the comment box.

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.

The Ruins Episode 6: Ruining on Empty

You cannot be a veteran, or challenger, in this game and not be a shady motherfucker. The episode begins with Susie and Johanna really wanting Veronica to go in against KellyAnne so either one can take the other person out. And privately, I mean very privately, Johnny calls out Evan and says he's only strategizing to save himself. (Remember, Kenny and Evan are friends, Kenny and Johnny are friends, but Evan and Johnny were never that close. As a matter of fact, Evan took out Johnny in the Gauntlet 3).

Shockingly, Veronica begins a conversation with a couple of the Challenger girls about possibly throwing the challenge.

So for nominations, the Challengers don't have much of a choice. Everyone is nominated from the team to go in minus Kim who won her ruin last week. So sad for them :-(. Johnny immediately says Susie, Veronica, and Johanna are going to go in (DUH, they are the only girls left.) Then he says Syrus, himself, and Derrick will go in.

So the challenge this week is to throw fruit over a wall, catch it on the other end, run it to a table where teammates will carry the fruit to a basket. The team with the most fruit at the end will win. The Champions fruit is flying over the wall completely crazily. Brad throws his fruit over the wall with it all staying close to each other EXCEPT weak little Kimberley throws her fruit in the air and it doesn't even go over. Both teams are doing fairly well until it starts storming. Do I even need to tell you who wins?

Cohutta is nervous considering he has the most money in his bank account compared to Brad and Dunbar. Johnny starts secretly telling his team that Syrus is dead weight and they should get him off their team.

In deliberation, Veronica knows she going in and JoJo, Susie, Johnny all say they want her against KellyAnne. Oh yeah, so does Derrick, who gets a bunch of slack from Veronica who says straight up calls him a coward to his face. For the guys, Johnny and Derrick say they decided for a number of reasons they want Syrus to go in and he choses Cohutta (the bank account). Syrus confesses to Brad that he's upset with the alliance. Veronica overhears Johanna, Susie, and Evan saying they want Veronica to come back so they can throw her in everytime and she gets pissed.

The ruins game the two guys and two girls will playing is hog tie where each player is suspended upside down and must get to the other end, grabbing a key along the way, unlock themselves, and run to hit a gong. Syrus starts out EXTREMELY fast except has trouble unlocking himself. Cohutta is very calm and ends up winning it. Syrus is ticked and now Cohutta has $18,000+. Then KellyAnne and Veronica go at it and they are taking much longer than the guys but KellyAnne ends up winning evening out the teams with 7 players each.

So later that night, Johnny comes up with an idea to put syrup on a sleeping Derrick and then cover him in feathers. Derrick

jumps off his bed and tackles Johnny and Johnny gets upset with Evan who doesn't come to his defense (what is this, the third grade?). Will this cause a new divide in the
team? We shall see...NEXT WEEK!

Johanna Vs. KellyAnne

So I've been thinking lately about the whole KellyAnne/Johanna feud. I mean, there really isn't a huge issue on the show in the house, but Johanna and KellyAnne continue to talk smack in there confessionals. I even felt the need to put a poll up on the left about it.

Now we all know why there might be slight animosity coming from both of them, considering Johanna is the ex-girlfriend of Wes who is currently dating KellyAnne. Some say that KellyAnne is just dating Wes to piss off JoJo. Others will say that KellyAnne has the freedom to do whatever she wants and that Johanna is making a big deal out of nothing. I believe that they both are kind of acting weird on the show trying to avoid confronting each other. I am praying that MTV gives us a face-off between the two.

At the end of the last episode, KellyAnne did end up calling Johanna for not even clapping for Wes as he exited, which Johanna responded that she was happy he left. And both girls ended up toasting to a new beginning although Johanna mentioned in her confessional that she still doesn't like KellyAnne. I think all viewers including myself are very curious to see what happens next.

Bye Bye Wes: Episode Recap

So the "JEK Alliance" (Johnny, Evan, and Kenny) were successful in picking off the thorn that was in all of their sides. Wes was sent him this week after competing in the Ruins for the third time. Little, scrawny, mountain boy Cohutta sent him home. How said is that?

For a little episode recap, the Challengers has no choice but to nominate Brad, Dunbar, and Cohutta considering they are the last 3 men on the team. Sarah sat this one out and let the three other women on the team (Kim, Casey, and Kelly Anne) be nominated. The Champions nominated Johanna, Ibis, and Veronica, hoping that they could pin Veronica against KellyAnne. The guys nominated were Johnny, Wes, and Kenny.

The Champions crushed the Challengers in the challenge. Then in the deliberation, Wes nominated himself to go against Cohutta and there was no confusion there particularly because Wes gets a jealous feeling when thinking about Cohutta. When it came to the women, Johanna says her and Ibis aren't voting for each other. SHADY!!!! Veronica starts knocking down Ibis' abilities in the challenge and they end up tying the vote with Veronica vs. KellyAnne with 3 votes and Veronica vs. Kim. So TJ brings in the whole Champion team to vote on which girls will face off in the ruins.

No teammate can discuss it, they must give there answer immediately. Several Champions such as Syrus and Derrick start voting Ibis vs. Kim. Even Johnny, who was apart of the Veronica vs. KellyAnne deal, votes Ibis. But Evan stays loyal and votes for Veronica to go in. It ends up being 5 and 5 with Veronica or Ibis going in, and Veronica got to cast the last vote. We all know what that is. Ibis is pissed at everyone, especially Derrick who was on her season and Johnny who promised Veronica would go in.

In the Ruins, Cohutta and Wes get a game that is NOT physical. Wes ends up giving up and Cohutta wins. Wes gives some "I care about you (Champions)" speech but I didn't fall for it. Then Kim goes against Ibis and Cohutta is coaching Kim through the whole thing and Kim ends up winning. So Ibis is added to the list of people that got screwed by JEK.

Katie Says No More Challenges...?

Yeah, let's be honest, a RW/RR's alumni has came out and said they are done with challenges before. This is the same situation with Katie on The Ruins. Before her ruins, she legitimately said that she is done with challenges after this one whether she wins or not. Obviously she didn't win, but is she really done?

Many have said that they are done with challenges before and have returned. I believe Mr. Mark Long is one of them. Even Evelyn, who is on The Ruins and speculated to be on the next challenge, said during the Island reunion that she was going to take a long break and ended up coming on this challenge a year later. One who many fans our anticipating a return from is Coral who quit the Gauntlet III.

But in Katie's case, would it be good if she quit? I mean, she, along with 3 other Ruins castmates (Derrick, Tonya, & Veronica), holds the record for most challenges with a whopping 8 appearances. Are we as viewers starting to get tired of certain cast members? Thoughts and Comments would be helpful.

Katie Doyle Explains Her Hate For Sarah

So this week on the Ruins, some crazy shit went down! Katie randomly flipped out on Sarah when she found a plunger in her bed, and it was never really explained why Katie didn't like her. I mean, in the end, Sarah got the last word and sent Katie home. But Katie did an interview with RealityWanted and had this to say about Sarah:

Katie: Sarah never left the Champion team’s room. I’d wake up and she’d be sitting there. I’d go to bed and she’d be sitting there. She was always trying to get in with Kenny and Evan. People started calling her Super Fan because she only wanted to hang out with older cast members. Somebody told me that she referred to me is crazy, which is fine. But if you call me crazy, I’m not going to like you. I was pissed off about the plunger, they put baby powder on my bed, which they didn’t show, and then Evan told me it was the blue team. I associate Sarah with the blue team and she was laughing and she already annoys the crap out of me. I definitely overreacted. I apologized to her the next day. If I’m not a jerk, then I don’t get any air time. They didn’t show my apology. I shouldn’t have called her fat. I knew that calling her fat would get a reaction and that was my motive at the time. I don’t dislike her. I just think that when you’re that new, don’t be that ballsy.
