Any idea what he wrote on her wall that brought that on? The post earlier that he sent her from 2 pages ago wasn't bad at all.

Found it. Interesting, some people were posting on this thread that she thinks she is a big deal now and all the fresh meaters think they are a big deal all of the sudden. I don't necessarily agree at least about her, but others maybe. Only thing I thought was a little much was how quickly she gets over emotional but I already said my peace on that :).
I definately think they are tweeting and trying to stay relevant to the fans as discussed on here to get to other opportunities but I think almost everyone on the show is too minus a couple maybe. Nothing wrong with trying to get a better career if you aren't happy with what you are doing. The whole trying to be Hollywood and famous is a stretch though. For every Miz, there are a thousand Adam Royers. Thanks for the link! If the challenge is cancelled, there won't be a whole lot else besides bar appearances to get off of this minus a couple who have had other stuff develop from this. Mark Long and Kenny come to mind.

Cara Maria is quite bright in her approach. For those of you who think she thinks she is a big deal, you need to think outside your [B]small MTV challenge box[/B]. She was introduced to the TV audience on Fresh Meat. This is the only audience she has. Twitter is the #1 near zero cost marketing tool and she is using it very intelligently to enhance her "brand." I'm learning lesson after lesson from analyzing what she is doing, and I have decades of experience in branding and PR.

Since you quoted my paragraph, If you were referring to me to thnk out of my challenge box, I did say I dont think she thinks she is a big deal, while others might of the fresh meaters. That was Just to clarify from my last post. Leroy is doing a lot of it too on his twitter for his t shirt business, and does the ustream, answers fan questions all the time, etc.

I see where you're coming from. I also think it's smart to use these social networking sites as a way to promote yourself, image or brand.
I think that my distaste (lately) is more related to the airing of their dirty laundry outside of the show. I am on the fence, often.
I am interested in hearing her and Laurel's podcast session with Derrick. I'm surprised she hasn't posted anything related to that after the fact.

I quoted your post because I wanted to piggy back on your comments. They were my springboard. Consider it flattery... ;)

Also, those who've been around vevmo for a long time will recognize my mantra regarding production: "think outside the box." There is an incredible amount of insular thinking by people who watch TV and simply refuse to apply their brains (or are incapable of doing so). What I write at vevmo is for thinkers. The idiots won't understand anyway. The latter group will find my attitude condescending which is absolutely fine with me.

Well as one of the idiots you're referring to, you just said it in your other post what I was talking about. Cast members using this for notoriety, money, a quick career boost, more tv time... whatever. She's doing it. There's no 'thinking outside the box' necessary, it's clear lol.
[QUOTE=Skeet;268616]They would've been a great pair to replace Davis/Tyrie, would've really changed up the game cause CT/Adam, Abram/Adam, Leroy/Adam (lol 3x adam) and later [B]Leroy/Mike would have been a strong alliance to go against JEK[/B], Brandon/Ty would've probably followed JEK. But for the women it'd also be a fun change for example Laurel/Cara, Laurel would stick with Kenny while Cara was still in a relationship with Abram back then, and would still be because if he was in Costa Rica the poo-incident wouldn't have happened :P
Anyway it's all if if if ^^[/QUOTE]
Well considering that Mike and Leroy said on a podcast that they followed the crowd the entire season, I doubt they'd be a strong alliance against anyone.
But yea, having Abram and Adam L. would've changed the game tremendously imo.

Noted...
Whoa the Cara Maria/Abram relationship does seem like a rollercoaster. I do feel that Cara Maria likes the attention and probably does make the show her life RIGHT NOW. Well it is a big part of her life. She's on tv and a lot of things are happening. I like that she says exactly what she feels and wears her heart on her sleeve. That's how she comes off to me. She seems really sensitive and emotional, but that's her.
I feel that Abram looks down on the current challenge kids. We all look back and get nostalgic and think everything was so great (and some of the old castmembers were more interesting) but the fact is petty drama and drunken craziness was always part of the challenge!

She posted on her twitter how no one else gets called "playing the victim" when they cry, but I am not sure on that one. None of the people who have cried have said, I deserve to be yelled at, but also none of them have posted for a week straight about it on 3 different social networking sites. So I am on the fence on that one. As an example, if you are on an aftershow complaining, it is trying to get people on your side or take pity on you on the situation I dunno. I already said on the Mandi thread Mandi tried to play the victim on her whole drama/fight too so Cara posting that on Twitter is another "I am being bullied it's not fair" type behavior which is why she got criticism in the first place. She has had a lot of people on her side too, so that post is kind of weird. I think she has a hard time if people don't like her, but when you put yourself out there completely on social networks, it is bound to be both good and bad feedback in return. What other reason to post that on Twitter than to get your followers to say how you are so right and are on your side? Otherwise it would be on your formspring. So kind of leaning towards attention.
The MTV blog thing on the site made up for the bias towards Jenn with the CT bullying Cara Maria one, because CT came out of nowhere at the club with getting in her face, but she is the one who wouldn't let it go in the kitchen which led to that whole argument and he was trying to dismiss it before they began shouting at each other. Jenn getting involved didn't help either, but in general the person crying is usually the one people feel bad for. Not that CT/Jenn had their feelings hurt at all, just meant in general.
From the commercial for tonight, it appears she is crying hysterically again, so let's see the response on that and how it all goes down.
[QUOTE=ILoveRW;268796]Wonder why the podcast is taking so long, I hope nothing happened and they are still planning on releasing it.[/QUOTE]
I think he waits till after Wed so the episode airs and they can discuss it and not spoil anything.

Wait what? How the **** was Cara Maria the one who wouldn't let it go in the kitchen? If I'm not mistaken, she was laying down in bed and Jenn kept running her mouth to everyone, hence why she came out and all that.

Read what I wrote again, I never said she instigated anything with Jenn in the kitchen. I said the biased blog on mtv.com which favored Jenn and made Cara look like the instigator that Cara was ****** about, they made it up to Cara with the CT blog which made CT look like he was bullying her in the kitchen AGAIN (he did in club but not here IMO) when she instigated re-bringing it all up when it was done with between them and he tried to drop it before it became a huge scene.
I didn't mean from what aired on the episode they showed last Wed, or with her and Jenn. Jenn was overreacting left and right and making it into a huge fight. I meant the online exclusive clip on mtv.com where she brings up why CT was yelling at her at the club when they were all making food or whatever they all were done. It was after everything settled with the club/Jenn stuff. Than it started back up again when Jenn kicked/hit her but wasn't really shown on the clip but it skips on my cpu so I couldn't tell. In my other post I went into more detail, I don't want to retype the whole thing. With CT, It was just a shouting exchange between the two, happens all the time in the house. Just because you are crying at the end, doesn't mean you didn't bring it up or have your part in it or are being bullied.

Wow, good job sticking up for your partner who’s taking a lot of **** for backing you up, Cara Maria. You can disagree with Laurel’s ways, but why denounce her and throw her under the bus.

It is what bullies do, whether on a challenge or hiding behind a screen name on the Internet.

Cara Maria may have said that as a general comment, but over and over again on her Formspring she has nothing but support for Laurel.

/Confused...
Are you calling Cara Maria or Laurel a bully?
[QUOTE=SPK713;269808]/Confused...
Are you calling Cara Maria or Laurel a bully?[/QUOTE]
Are you serious?
I don't recall any instance where Cara Maria has bullied anyone.
I stand firmly with Bacchus, Molds 13 and Insider regarding Laurel. I find myself in exceptional company.
The shyest person ever can talk the most smack on the internet I think is the point. We all in passion watching are probably guilty of it at some point. On the internet there is no consequence. It's like all the posts how if they were on the challenge they would kick CT's *** back to Boston. How many people would say that to him to his face? Even with editing, these people get trashed on their social networks and stereotyped into what is shown and MTV wants them to be. I do have to say though you are what you are if consistently it is shown, you probably are guilty in some fashion of it so blaming editing gall the time is weak.
Now Cara happens to be on social network overdrive but that's another topic. She seems to want to defend any criticism she gets on twitter even if she gets 100 compliments before. As a human it makes sense, but you have to understand their are always going to be haters. If you can't understand that, it will be a tough run on TV. Say what you want about Abe, but the guy does what he does, doesn't apologize, and lives his life and seems happy. People like Mandi who mention how they had a bad edit every interview and always making excuses, you can only hide behind an edit so much.
Cara does seem like a pretty down to earth girl. She is very emotional and the atmosphere makes it worse, but you know what it is when you sign up. I ask her questions on formspring, she seems to answer the same question a lot and post it when you really only need to answer it once, but just shows she really is reading it all.
I like the fact that Cara Maria had the decency to say "don't fight hate with hate" instead of gloating over Laurel's verbal smackdown of Paula. She realizes bullying is wrong and two wrong's done make a right.
I listened to the podcast though and I found it strange how Cara Maria made a point to say that CT was texting her. I don't know, it seemed to me like she was trying to make Abram jealous.
I dont believe any of these arguments people have are legitimate, she talked so much about how much she hated Wes leading up to Ep 8 so I was expecting an explosive after show then he just apologizes and now she says she's ok with Wes and Paula even though that after show was filmed like a month ago, and I caught her trying to sit on Wes' lap on the after show!
Well I have been checking on Cara Maria's formspring, she has been getting a lot of negative comments but she has also been defended by others as well.
[QUOTE=JSilver23;272065]I really think she's obsessed with and co-dependent on Abram. Kind of like an Abram groupie.[/QUOTE]
On or off the show?
On the show it makes sense cause she misses him and she's stuck with a bunch of *******s :p
Off the show she obviously still has feelings for him
