[QUOTE=Debut Album;359484]Hell she's probably more annoyed than anyone at this point.[/QUOTE]
But she chose to kiss him on the show so there is a reason fans keep asking her questions. I can see her getting tired of answering some of the questions about it but if she doesn't want to anymore then she should stop kissing him or interacting with him on the show, lol. Questions would go away if Diem and CT didn't give fans or producers anything to work with but they do. The next challenge that they are both on should be interesting to see if they decide to continue on giving fans something to talk about or if they decide to purposely keep their distance. It is true some fans can be annoying about it (like the crazies who reported CT's pictures with his ex) but it would be easy to say oh if the fans would just stop talking about it this CT/Diem thing would go away but CT and Diem also play into it themselves, so it's not a black and white thing.
I totally agree with the statement above. I find it funny that Diem would think that questions about her and Ct's relationship is annoying.
In fact this is one of the things that I find annoying about Diem. She sits up there and says she was never thinking about getting back with CT and she acts as if she doesn't care about who he is flirting with or ******* yet she goes on national television and says she has loved him since the day she meant him?
Or she writes raps about females because they were doing something as innocent as dancing with him?
You cant be territorial over something that is not yours. If she does not want him and she has no feelings for him, leave him the **** alone. If she would stop giving the ammunition for people to "annoy" her as she puts it, then it would not happen. Don't go on tv and kiss your ex and be jealous of his hook ups if peoples questions are so annoying.
Get the **** over it. ugh

Excuse me, but is there a quote from Diem somewhere that I missed? That is a word that both Debut Album and I used, yet you attack Diem. Why not attack me. I can respond; Diem can't.
I like Diem. I would say I'm a fan of hers. She's not perfect though and she is only human. Why I like her so much has a lot to do with her advocacy work on behalf of people with cancer and other illnesses and I also do think she is genuinely a nice person. However, she isn't perfect...no human being is....I'm not perfect either, haha. Anyway, let me not ramble and get to my point. I can totally see the point Imjustsayin is trying to make. Diem does act as if she doesn't have feelings for CT when what is shown on TV shows us that there are some feelings still left there. I will disagree in a friendly way with Imjustsayin to say that I don't believe Diem herself has ever said CT and Diem questions are annoying. I think others on the board said that is their opinion on how Diem must feel. My opinion is probably there are times Diem doesn't mind answering questions about CT and other times that she really does. I mean let's take Wes for example. Wes said that he gets asked about fights with CT over the course of the challenge shows by his friends every day of his life, yet Wes does seem to be fine with being paired with CT this go-around. Probably for Wes it is both a blessing and a curse. Wes probably likes the attention he gets from fans based on the so-called rivalry he has with CT and other times Wes probably gets very sick of being asked about it when fans come up to him overdoing the questions or making jokes when he wants to eat a meal with friends perhaps. So I think it's the same with Diem with the CT/Diem romance questions probably, both a blessing and a curse for her.

Very nicely stated. A blessing, a curse and a double edged sword for Diem. She's back in a familiar place (a Challenge), in recovery from a familiar malady (her second round of ovarian cancer and chemo), in the company of familiar people (Johnny, Wes, CT, Paula, Emily, Camila, Aneesa, etc), and around an old love 24/7 (As Bruce Springsteen would say about Clarence Clemmons, "do I need to speak his name?"). I thought she explained her situation very well in the etonline.com article that focused on CT and Diem.
[I]"[/B]Diem and I have a special relationship, to say the least," CT told ETonline today at a press day for The Challenge: Rivals 2. "We do, but coming in to this season, I didn't want to hang out with him," Diem adds. "Normally you don't have to spend this much time with your ex, so you can put them in a shoebox underneath your bed. But with these shows, you're forced to constantly re-open that shoebox, take everything out and examine it. Plus, when you add going out to bars with them to the mix, things happen."[/B][/I]
Knowing all of that, she still came on the show. I believe she did it to challenge herself and to continue to advance the cause of Medgift. I don't know her personally but in observing her passion for it on the Challenges, I would think she would make any sacrifice necessary to continue to see that organization thrive.
I don't believe she came on to rekindle a relationship w/CT. When she told the story that she broke up with him with her head not her heart, I can certainly appreciate her sentiments that she's loved him since the day she met him. Add to that how much support and love he gave her through the first round of cancer recovery and I would suggest that she didn't have much of a heart if she didn't feel that way. That doesn't mean he's the one for her; only she knows that for sure. It also doesn't mean that she can simply erase the feelings she had for him and sometimes wish that things would have turned out differently.
This is also the first time she's been single on a challenge since Duel II. She must be somewhat out of sorts, having left behind her long term relationship in LA to facilitate further expansion of Medgift.
All that notwithstanding, the sheer volume of tweets and messages on Instagram and Tumbler and everywhere else from fans advocating her continued romance with CT and suggesting marriage and having kids (could they be any less sensitive to someone who has undergone surgically what she's undergone)would get on anyone's nerves. She could quit Challenges tomorrow and I bet she'd still have contacts like that.

And can I add, that Diem FAVORITES almost every tweet that talk about them getting married etc ? She can't be that annoyed.

I don't doubt that what you say is true. I just don't recall seeing what you referred to. I'll have to pay better attention.
[QUOTE=Christy1;359514]And can I add, that Diem FAVORITES almost every tweet that talk about them getting married etc ? She can't be that annoyed.[/QUOTE]
Diem actually favorited a few of my tweets (none of my tweets were about CT by the way, lol), but still she favorited a few of mine and I got a goofy grin on my face when I saw. I'm such a nerd I know, LOL! I was surprised she favorited four or five of my tweets because she must get so many tweets each day. I have wondered before if it is Diem sitting there favoriting everything or if she has an assistant or somebody doing that for her. Part of me wants to live in denial and think that it was Diem tweeting personally to me. It would be a bit of a letdown if I found out somebody else was doing it but still, whether she did it or somebody else, it was nice to see! :)
I didn't see where Diem favorited the tweets that talk about her and CT getting married, but I did see a tweet that said something like, "I love how supportive CT is of Diem and how he smiles at her.".....might not have been those exact words but it was something along those lines, but you could clearly tell the fan was referencing how supportive CT has been on the challenge about Diem taking off her wig and making her feel like she is beautiful without it. I saw where Diem favorited that one.

I gave you guys the clue (person) previously. Just connect the dots.
[QUOTE=nmanderson;359522]It's Cooke.[/QUOTE]
That is what I was thinking too. What I don't get is why Cooke is so insecure. Isn't she a division 1 athlete or so she says. I don't know much about her. You would think she would feel plenty secure enough with her athletic abilities to compete against Diem and be above board with how she behaves, good sportsmanship. I am surprised someone with her athleticism would feel she needs to stoop that low. It would be okay if Cooke said something like I want to compete against Diem and win because all of the girls want to compete against her and win but to say I want to break her mentally, that just seems unnecessarily personal.

She was just drafted by a professional soccer team. Who knows what her motivation was ~ money? mean girl? ct-itis? bad jock syndrome? I guess we'll find out in the weeks to come. Could explain why we see Cooke and Nany go after CT.

Well when you're thrown to the wolves every single time and see people who you know will never have to go in because of their protection, you're gonna get mad and do what you can to screw with their heads. Granted, there's limits to what you should and shouldn't do, but it's not as if Cooke hasn't been getting screwed this season

Your right, Cara Marie and Cooke have been getting screwed this season but it hasn't just been Diem who has been doing the screwing, lol. Johnny has had a lot to do with it too. I just feel there must be something else about Diem (other than being in the alliance with Johnny and being protected in that way) that Cooke does not like perhaps. I just think Diem is playing the game, as anyone else would on the challenge.

I listened to Diem's interview this evening on HuffPost.com. She indicated (without saying Cooke's name) that one of the women on the challenge had told Diem's best friend that she was going to break her (Diem)mentally. Diem then explained that she kept her distance from that person until she had to react (paraphrasing). Based on that, I would suggest that it was a predetermined strategy by Cooke, having not much to do with her being tossed into the jungle. Like I said, it'll be interesting to watch it play out the next few weeks.

Never heard of bad jock syndrome, lol. :) Well if she was just drafted by a professional soccer team then maybe that means she won't be taking anymore calls from Bunim/Murray to do more challenges, one can hope.

If anything[B] Cooke[/B] hit the jackpot this season, IMO!...
Cara Maria in exchange for Naomi??? CM, a person she's never met, let alone got into an argument with???..... In a season where the 1st place is already taken, but all the other good competitors who would be gunning for 2nd got screwed with dead-weight partners?.....
Now take all this into consideration, mix it with the fact that this is her very first challenge.... What is she expecting? A free ride to the finals?
Yeah, I get it... getting targeted sucks, but come on it's not like they have to be that horribly scarred of facing any of these teams in the Jungle..(maybe Em/Paula, but I sincerely doubt they will see an elimination round..)

Cooke's just a*******. I've disliked her from day one, and although I'm a pretty good judge of character, I had a hard time putting my finger on [B][I]what exactly[/I][/B] annoyed me about her. Well, now we know.
Don't get me wrong, I don't use that word that lightly. But I feel she is the perfect person upon which to bestow it. <3

Cooke and Cara Maria are on pace to go into EVERY single female elimination, as well as possibly having to go first every single time. This has NEVER happened before. Even if they miss one elimination, they'll have technically gone into 80% of the eliminations

This is how this game works if you are strong team/player no one likes,maybe the statistics are diffrent with these two ,but it's the same thing over and over,and Cooke and Cara being the 2nd strongest girl team there shouldnt be complaining about going in ,that's just the way it is.I think they deserve to be going in just for the fact how unfair their pairing is compared to the others and Cooke being an idiot and targeting Diem for no clear reason ,as it seems.

Yeah and when Brandon has to keep going in because he sucks and Camila keeps going in because she's crazy it's unfair, but when it's a better team then they should just accept it and move on. Right...

I believe that happened to Ty and Emily in Battle of the Exes, too.
I don't like the fact that diem wants to get rid of cooke/cara so bad but she doesn't want to get her hands dirty. Throw the challenge and nominate cara/cooke and send then home yourself.

??? I don't get your point. The men nominate the girls team going in, the women nominate the guys team. It's not a "throw the challenge" kind of game this time. It's also not a Diem-only move. Seems the veteran women (Paula, Emily, Aneesa, Diem, Camila) are driving this train with the help of Johnny and Wes.
