Until Jonna makes something public, this "rape" allegation is just an allegation. That popped up out of nowhere and no one really knows for sure so let's not get on our high horses and talk about rape victims and traumas that may or may not even be true.

I think the fact that Danni knew about it might point to Zach telling her. And that's disgusting if he did

Hmm...I don't know if I agree. Jenna is an airhead and can be annoying, but the loser of that episode was Zach imo. I actually like her a lot. I think she's sweet and not the typical drama queen. I just hope she drops the ****** canoe.

I liked the challenge.  I don't think it mattered either way who was going in to the dome. I think Jenna and Jay would have won against Knight and Jemmye. If it was an intellect or eating challenge, they would be done for. But both Jenna and Jay are in great physical shape while the other two well...

I agree about Skeletons.  I don't know what any of those three girls see in Tony. I hope if Sylvia or Violetta come on The Challenges they get their bu++s handed to them. "Thug life"? What a joke.

I think the fact that Danni knew about it might point to Zach telling her. And that's disgusting if he did

I'm sure he did... He was revealing a lot of personal stuff about her to people on Exes 2 so I'm sure he told everyone. Who uses that against someone? I lost all respect for Zach this season.

Go read Jonna bio for Real World Cancun it is briefly mentioned there , It was her Caseworker  Family member and then the caseworker through her out at 18. She has gone through terrible things in her life and has chosen to move forward from it and I would hope that everyone here can choose to respect that , now let's move on.

Until Jonna makes something public, this "rape" allegation is just an allegation. That popped up out of nowhere and no one really knows for sure so let's not get on our high horses and talk about rape victims and traumas that may or may not even be true.

Okay so she may or may not have been experienced that patricular trauma but please don't discount the other things she's been through. Some people get dealt shitty cards in life. Some use that as motivation to suceed. Some struggle with their demons and it effects them all throughout life. It's not your place to say anyone is on a high horse.

Zach has always had little respect from me , He is actually a bigger ****** than Bananas and that really says a lot to me. His entitled attitude is disgusting and atricious , Jonna deserve a million times better and the fact he wasn't man enough to say any of this to her face or in the house proves he is a coward.

I kinda agree with this. At least Bananas (Island-Ruins) would say and do things to your face. Zack is a confessional gangster.

" Those the ones I like cause they don't get Nathan but penetration/ unless it smells like sanitation/ gar-bag"

 

At this exact moment I fell in love , I wish we had the like button.

" Those the ones I like cause they don't get Nathan but penetration/ unless it smells like sanitation/ gar-bag"

I turn like doornobs/heartthrob never/black and ugly as ever/however/I stay Gucci down to the socks/rings and watch filled with rocks

Idk just after Ex-Plosion and her crying every time we saw her to now on the Challenge her thinking becuase she has extremely mild reality fame shes a model now or whatever her deal is, I'm just out on her. That's it I've cashed in my chips

I personally haven't seen anything impressive from Jenna...I'm hoping they have a breakthrough performance to justify making it through but honestly personality/competition wise, she brings nothing to the table. How I wish a Jenny/Cory pairing ended up happening...Jenny would be good for confessions/drama, and cory would be good for competition/hookups

ive been wish washy on him since his season, sometimes he seems nice, sometimes he's a *****. But this season he proves to be the ultimate ****** of the cast, which says a lot. hes a disgusting human being for talking about such things. It's sad that the girl who he ****** over is 10000x more mature than him in this situation  while he gossips and talks shit. I have no respect for him at all now and I would HOPE these girls would stop messing with him after this season but probably not Sad

I think people are making this Zach/Jonna thing into something WAY bigger than it is.

The bottom line is Zach is treating Jonna like **** and it is undeserved on so many levels. It's not really going to help him or her as a team and they need to work together in order to survive in this game. Him talking down to her and badmouthing her to other people is not condusive to their morale as a team and is just plain ****** up. Kinda like Wes disrespecting Casey on Fresh Meat didn't really help them as a team and he needed to change his attitude in order for them to work.

Furthermore whatever Jonna did in the past doesn't mean that she deserves the **** she is getting from Zach now in the present.

I love the challenge, love the daily challenges concept just not the naming. But the worst is the eliminations. The best elimination game we have saw is banded together which is not even good.

Out here singing "Pppppppreeeeeeaaaacchhh"!!!!!

A little late, but that's because I got a haircut. And I went to the gym. And there was apparently an hour show to watch, plus a 30 minute after show, plus an ex-ile.  With that said, RIP Knight and let's begin.

 

That's bae. But spitters are quitters.

 

Meelz's Crush Of The Season

I think I've narrowed down my crush this season. While Nany will undoubtedly always have a place in my heart (no matter how many times we have to sit through her crying this episode), does anyone else find Brittany kind of hot? Any chick who can take Tombstone Piledrivers in a tube top in a bar is alright with me. Unfortunately, I can sympathize with Adam here. No guy wants a girl who's way too clingy. But she's like, fun sized. That's fun, right?



Jonna & Jay's Pathetic Attempt at Airtime

Of course this season's newest, perfect, "Barbie & Ken" love are Zach and the "model" Jenna (I still need to see her 8 x 10s). They're no where close to the perfect Tumblr couple like CT & Diem, but you might be able to squeeze a few memes out of them.



This unfortunately doesn't sit well with Jonna and Jay, who are the complete opposite of the tall, incredibly good-looking couple that MTV loves to focus on. In their second pathetic attempt of the season to grab more screentime as supplementary characters, they make out at the bar to show up Jonna & Jay in this swinger's plot that they're developing. Unfortunately, Zach and Jonna don't realize that they've pretty much sealed their fate for Exes 3. Jonna, it's definitely not too late to grab Johnny Portland and make a new enemy in Averey yourself.



No Please, I Want To An Entire Episode of Nany Sobbbing

Nany was so good earlier this season. She was winning Challenges and verbally chopping down Theresa like it was nothing. She started out absolutely at the top of my own mental power rankings of the Challenge (Spoilers: She's always at the top <3), but man....did we really have to spend an entire episode watching her cry over Johnny Bananas because he doesn't like her?



You can tell production LOVES focusing on her because not only are there 3-4 instances of Nany crying about Bananas throughout the episode, but it actually ENDS the episode. Like what kind of flipping cliffhanger is that? There was just an intense elimination match between two "formidable" teams and now we end the episode with Nany sobbing...for no real reason? If this doesn't lead to her hurling a house chair or walking right into a pool then this does NOT need this much attention.



With all things considered however, Bananas is REALLY proving not only is he a veteran of the game but dealing with crazy chicks. Throughout the episode he hasn't met her with an inch of resistance at all, only fake coddling. +2 on my mental power rankings for Bananas (Spoilers: He's probably at the top already).



The 'Paint Me Like Your French Girls' Challenge

Any time a Challenge isn't at least 100 feet high and not over the chemical compound of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms, I squeal a bit inside. This week's Challenge -- Brush It Off was okay. I could see how having to vigorously rub bodies with your ex could be a problem, but I think if it were one of the first or second challenges -- it might've had more awkwardness behind it. At this point, everyone's just doing whatever that the producers make them do for money. Challenge ******. Here are some notes about the Challenge:

  • Wes' body attack on Theresa might've been the most awkward thing a scrawny pale white man has done. Good lord, I hope he doesn't attack with the same ferocity while having ***.

  • "Jemmye's moving as fast as paint dries" is line of the night, by far. Knight's the back-to-back winner. If Knight didn't pass, they'd easily be front-runners for a Married with Children reboot.

  • Knight has the physique of a tube sock and he's definitely in the wrong era of Challenges. He'd be a superstar if he showed up during the era of the Battle of the ***es / original Battle of the Seasons challenges, just from his entertainment value.



Zach and Jonna win the microwave pizza dinner, and I'm not excited. Not one bit. They're a team who could benefit from shaking things up, but think they're making the smart decision by not shaking it up. Out of everyone left, they MIGHT be the worst.

 

 

Zach and Jonna Prove to Be The WORST

Okay, they are the worst. This entire deliberation was face-palm worthy, and while Zach thinks it's squarely on Jonna's part (lol statistically), but I don't think he realizes how bad of a partner he is. The problem with Zach is that he depends so much on being the Thor of the Challenge, that he doesn't realize how crummy his political game is. His lack of maturity in the game is the reason why he doesn't possess the tact that Bananas, Wes, or CT has in dealing with playing the political game. He thinks he's making a great play by throwing in another rookie team, but at the end of it he looks completely pathetic. It shows that he's not thinking pro-actively to reduce his competition in the game and just going with the easy decision because there will be no repercussions. Fortunately for him, no one wants to risk going up against him in a physical elimination round because they're afraid of getting wrecked. Unfortunately for him, he's kind of handicapped with the partner he has.



Jonna isn't a great physical competitor, but she's smart and has done enough of these Challenges where she can go. Just the fact that she's done four of these prior to this and have made it far means that she's somewhat seasoned in this game. But she's a middle of the road player. Middle of the road has been the story of Jonna's entire Challenge career. As long as the veterans like Bananas, CT, Cara Maria, Leroy, exist in this game....she won't make it to the end because she's not on that level. She SHOULD be on that level.



I can see why they threw in Adam & Brittany, but the thing I didn't like about it was how incredibly LAZY it was.



Wildcat Stripper Adam is the mascot for this episode

There's no excuse for MTV not having THIS song queued up for Adam's stripper escapades.


 

The Elimination

Compared to last week's utterly disappointing elimination match, this one's pretty cool. It involved strength (which is a plus!). Smashing shit (Another plus!). And actually requires teamwork (plus! plus! plus!), something that the team of Jemmye and Knight fail with flying colors in. Adam's secretly teenage Gohan trying to bring out his inner powers, and with each win he gets more confident and less gawky. With their third win, Adam and Brittany are now officially a threat folks.



A note about The Man, The Myth, The Legend - Knight

Like Diem last episode, this is the last we'll ever see of Knight in the series and it's incredibly unfortunate. When it comes to being a physical competitor in this Challenge, Knight's nowhere near the top -- and he doesn't care, that's what's so unique about him. Over the course of 26 seasons (especially within the last 7), we've reached our quota of the hyper-masculine, muscle-head goons who backstab friends to make it to the end of this Challenge. But Knight brought an entertainment factor to The Challenge not seen since the days of Puck.



Stirring shit up just to stir shit up. Incredibly insulting one-liners. I watched his season of New Orleans as it aired (it would be one of the last seasons I ever watch of Real World), and it was his entertaining relationship with Jemmye that helped save the show. They were a couple that shouldn't have worked, but somehow did, and since have always kept a genuine/real relationship with one another that can't help us crack a smile. I'm glad they covered those last moments of Knight where despite the insulting in the face of defeat, he still said "We'll be friends though". Knight and Jemmye have a special bond, and it'll be interesting to see how she carries things out on the Challenge here now that she's not tethered to him by casting.



Knight's an ******* at times, but he's the most entertaining challenger to emerge in quite some time. Thank you for the memories. RIP Knight.



Who the F**K is Zuri Hall?

Not to say she's bad (actually she's better than most hosts), but usually they keep it within The Challenge circle. With that said, welcome to the family. Nonetheless, it's bad enough that The Challenge starts at 11:00 PM, but having an after show at midnight completely sucks. I've got to wake up at 6:00am for work, and I already invest an hour into The Challenge every Tuesday - so the next half an hour seems almost painful. Like most aftershows (probably all aftershows), there isn't anything that really occurs or brings closure. But I did appreciate the tribute to Knight.



Oh Yeah, There Was An Ex-ile

Knight dislocated his shoulder, they weren't able to compete. John and Simone win. Yaaaaaay, interracial couples. </Sarcasm>

Jonna, it's definitely not too late to grab Johnny Portland and make a new enemy in Averey yourself.

  • Wes' body attack on Theresa might've been the most awkward thing a scrawny pale white man has done. Good lord, I hope he doesn't attack with the same ferocity while having ***.

I definitey get a kick out of your posts, Meelz, but the above was amazing.

At first I thought Devyn had lost weight lol.

Hahaha teenage Gohan. Your summaries are good in general, but I especially appreciated that.

And hi. My first time posting, I've been reading for the past few months.

Welcome. Smile

Is it just me, or is TJ becoming a bigger smartass every season lol

Okay some thoughts.

Watched the episode again and now I have the opinion of it not really mattering who Zach/Jonna sent in against Knight/Jemmye. They're not exactly a top team so I feel like either Adam/Britanny and Jay/Jenna both could've beaten them.

Oh and Zach is still a ******. Jonna really needs to give him one good tounge lashing. He deserves every bit of it.

I am not a big fan of zac this season,

Jay is smaller then Jemmye which makes me think Knight and Jemmye could of had a better chance to beat Jay & Jenna. I mean Adam and Brittany are both huge especially Adam. Yeah Knight may not be in shape and Jemmye either but they would have a chance against Jay & Jenna. It is sad though the Knight and Jemmye could have avoided the dome all season probably if they would have been able to stay out of last.
