Unpopular opinion: I think Brad is a good dude.
Am I the only one who's glad that Laurel and Camilla went off Big East they way they did, especially since he did something to deserve it?
[QUOTE=TheBestBully;455374]Am I the only one who's glad that Laurel and Camilla went off Big East they way they did, especially since he did something to deserve it?[/QUOTE] I honestly never cared either way since I don't care much for any of them. I did think Laurel v.s. Paula > Laurel v.s. Eric tho....Paula was begging for it so Laurel cut her hard.
[QUOTE=TheBestBully;455374]Am I the only one who's glad that Laurel and Camilla went off Big East they way they did, especially since he did something to deserve it?[/QUOTE] Well I felt bad when Laurel attacked him regarding his weight, only because so many young impressionable kids watch the show, and both girls and boys strive to be thin at such a young age. It's unhealthy. I dealt with 2 friends who were anorexic. To the point you can see their bones. It's hard to hear someone say to a person who is overweight, That no one will ever be attracted to you. I am overweight BTW (People on here who follow me on instagram/twitter know.) I was ok with Camilla going off on him. That was game related, not personal.
[QUOTE=CHIblackhawk;455335]I have one about Brad as well. I don't know exactly how everyone else here feels about this but I have absolutely no sympathy for Brad regarding the beating he received from Darrell on The Ruins. I don't encourage violence or see it as a good way to solve problems, but Brad was really asking for it there. He went and picked a needless fight with Darrell and just continued to instigate it and make things worse. Darrell slowly started to lose it and continually warned Brad to back off or else but he didn't listen and just continued on. They say you get burned if you play with fire, and that is certainly what happened here. He really had that one coming IMO with the way he went about that whole thing.[/QUOTE] I love Brad, but have to agree. JEK and Derrick should have stepped in sooner though IMO.
[QUOTE=TheBestBully;455374]Am I the only one who's glad that Laurel and Camilla went off Big East they way they did, especially since he did something to deserve it?[/QUOTE] Well Camilla is useless and didn't belong on that challenge(or any other challenge honestly)So Eric did the right thing there. She should be thanking him. Laurel...eh don't care.
Laurel went too far as usual but I definately think Big Easy deserved to be gone off on by her in some way since he wasn't innocent either.
[QUOTE=Debut Album;455385]Well [B]Camilla is useless and didn't belong on that challenge(or any other challenge honestly)[/B] So Eric did the right thing there. She should be thanking him. Laurel...eh don't care.[/QUOTE] She annoyed the hell out of me with her childish tantrums simply because she wasn't in a position of power & going off for no reason on the one person who understood her & was trying to give her ******* some positive motivation (Brandon), so she got exactly what she deserved.
Which leads me to my next unpopular opinion: I don't like Camila. At all. If they were gonna bring back people from the Spring Break Challenge they should've brought more than just one. It made no sense to bring just her back when at the time they had multiple girls from newer seasons to choose from (like Ashley L. or Ashlee).
[QUOTE=seannaes666;455384]I love Brad, but have to agree. [B]JEK and Derrick should have stepped in sooner though IMO.[/B][/QUOTE] I couldn't agree more. Those 4 were just as responsible for that mess as anyone else in that room. They could have easily broken that whole thing up and gotten Brad and Darrell away from each other, but they just sat there and watched as if the whole thing was a big joke.

They had several girls that could've gotten her spot and brought more to table than she ever could but they choose her over Erika, Ashley(DC), Jonna, Etc. There was NO point in bringing her on and since she's been on these shows she really has served no real purpose and should stop being cast. One of the most pointless casting decisions made by BMP.

And she keeps being put in drama so she'll never stop being cast, they probably pay her more to go cray cray ( walks in a pool fully clothed)
1. Sarah is overrated as a competitor. (Ruins performance way overrated. Seasons was her best imo but still not that impressive to me). 2. Jonna is ugly. 3. Jillian from X treme is my favorite female competitor of all time. 4. Brooke is the hottest girl from Denver over Jenn. 5. I am an Evelynn fan but I think she gets a huge free pass on FM2. The way she played scared with Wes sacrificing alliance members, and then her unjustified rant on Luke (had they done the puzzle like he suggested they could have won). Overall an embarrassing challenge for her and I think people overlook it. 6. I hated Trischelle and Steven. He was just after sex and kept leading her on. It was sad and annoying. 7. The Gauntlet 2 is the best season of all time IMO, even though the final sucks (I'll admit biased, Alton and Landon are two of my favorites and them winning together was awesome. Derrick, another favorite also beasted that season. The loss made him hungrier. My favorite mission of all time was the one where they had to get out of the pit with noodles tape and yoga balls). 8. Timmy is overrated. 9. Frank and Jillian are my favorite Challenge couple. 10. I like Jessica. 11. Don't understand the Dunbar hate. I don't love him but he's tolerable, has good commentary (Backpack).
I would really like to see bottom-tier players go against each other 1on1 in something physical. It gives not so decent players a fighting chance. Imagine sth like Casey vs Brooke, Jasmine vs Emilee or maybe Eric vs Tyrie in something speed/agility type. I also like when weak players make it to the end. I was stoked about Devyn reaching the end on FA. I knew she wasn't going to finish any higher than third but I was happy that she made it.
About Brad. Something about him makes me want to punch him. But I have to say, altho he is middle/decent his wins over Landon and CT is impressive. First time you would think it was underdogs luck, but sending two strongest guys home is very impressive imo. I do not like him at all tho but his elimination rounds are good. (I obviously do not think Brad is better than Landon and CT, he just outsmarted them) [QUOTE=GraffitiSoudl;455376]I honestly never cared either way since I don't care much for any of them. I did think Laurel v.s. Paula > Laurel v.s. Eric tho....Paula was begging for it so Laurel cut her hard.[/QUOTE] Ohh yes. I was soo pissed off when Paula played victim altho SHE started it. And in Reunion they also blamed Laurel. What is this ******? Paula was a bully, Laurel said her to **** but she still bullied til Laurel did what she did. It was 100% Paulas fault.
I like the exiles, not so much the physical eliminations. Idiot care for physical eliminations, I prefer endurance/strategy ones.
Even though she is wallpaper, I can't help but love Jonna Jasmine was one of my favorites from Rivals 1-Seasons 2. I didn't like how all the FA elimination rounds were overly physical.
Oh and yes, dear god I loved Paula getting torn apart by Laurel. Legit one of my favorite Challenge moments ever.

The rules on these shows are always faulty & always changed to go along with storylines. I know he would've never done it but Landon should've slammed his *** again just for the hell of it. Because of that faulty win Evan ended up winning the whole thing & ended up being on the Champions team for the next challenge, then his crew along with Brad proceeded to ruin that challenge as well. Brad is the catalyst for a lot of BS lol

Both Derrick and Evan tried to get Brad away from Darrell when he was talking. Brad shoved Evan and kicked and tried to body slam Derrick. Johnny and Kenny also tried to step in the first time Brad got in Darrell's face. It fits with the JEK are *******s narrative, but Evan is close friends with Brad, Kenny was close friends with Darrell, and Derrick was close friends with them both. None of them needed an extra 5K that badly. Derrick talks about it here: [url=http://www.realitywanted.com/newsitem/2741-the-real-worldroad-rules-challenge-the-ruins-exclusive-interview-with-derrick-kosinski#.U_IXO1a-x6Y]The Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Ruins - Exclusive Interview with Derrick Kosinski : RealityWanted.com: Reality TV, Game Show, Talk Show, News - All Things Unscripted Social Network Casting Community[/url]
[QUOTE=JEKFAN;455388]Laurel went too far as usual but I definately think Big Easy deserved to be gone off on by her in some way since he wasn't innocent either.[/QUOTE] His behavior on the reunion was ridiculous as well. I didn't blame Abram for being so embarrassed to be with those people (Inferno 1 throwback). Eric acted like a child just as much as Laurel by being so unforgiving and so bitter (even though Laurel's mtv.com apology was also ridiculous).
I do think BMP has gotten better as far as this show is concerned. They brought in several new challengers via Battle of the Seasons 2 and they're getting more diverse with the missions via Seasons 2/Rivals 2/Free Agents. There's still ALOT of things they need to improve but I think they're making steps in the right direction.
I just want Frank R. to come back. Maybe he can show the newer kids how to have a chill relationship and be the cockroach that goes into eliminations and keeps on coming back
I found Knight attractive from his RW season to maybe his first challenge.
[QUOTE=Fresh Meat;456211]I found Knight attractive from his RW season to maybe his first challenge.[/QUOTE] I think he was LOWKEY LOWKEY attractive. Like.... very lowkey. But I can see it.
[QUOTE=Fresh Meat;456211]I found Knight attractive from his RW season to maybe his first challenge.[/QUOTE] I found Knight attractive sometimes on his Season too.
I do not like it when hosts get sassy. TJ did it and Maria on the Cutthroat reunion.

Lol I kind of like when TJ gets sassy hahaha
I would like to see how older strong females would compete against the new ones. I think the older ones are stronger: Emily, Ellen, Holly etc...
[QUOTE=JamieFire;456300]Lol I kind of like when TJ gets sassy hahaha[/QUOTE] His voice is so monotone. If you get sassy you have to do it good! Like Maria yelling lol.
