She was responsible for many a girl going home for more than a few seasons. She was the hot girl who posed for Playboy and ran the show, so people are going to enjoy it when she puts on a few pounds and has no juice with the alliance. She is not fat, but when someone her height puts on even ten pounds, people jump on it. Like Susie calling her Chunks.

What's funny is the guys from the Fresh Meat series are pretty much running things, and people let them. Evan and Kenny had never been on MTV before, but Evan's the king of the hill. Kenny is less of a douche this season, or he's at least being smart and letting the vocal people attract attention while being in their alliance. It wouldn't take much to pick those people off at the beginning. They're not doing Road Rules anymore, so they're in a great spot for another round of fresh meaters.

Sarah had some springy little pigtails last night.

Re: Real World/Road Rules "The Ruins" Season Discussion

The Derrick and Johnny fight was a bit of a letdown. I thought they were fighting over the way Syrus got sent home, and was screwed over by Johnny. Poor Cohutta is going to get sent into the Ruins every time when the champions win a challenge.

It was a letdown because Derrick was too drunk to put up much of a fight. Now if he had been sober he probably would have put a beatdown on Johnny, even though Johnny seemed to have bigger biceps.

I'm totally in love with Susie. Don't know what it is about her but I love watching her on these challenges.

And I'm the total opposite. Physically and personality wise, she is a total turnoff to me.

Now Johanna! Except her personality also sucks.

Johanna's baby voice makes me want to strangle her whenever I hear her speak. It's been toned down a little this season but it's still there.

I'm new to the entire thing here, but she's crazy hot to me as well.

The one thing I don't understand is why the Derrick/Johnny scrum didn't seem like a big deal even though that drunk, crazy bitch got kicked off for a fairly harmless slap to the face. Evan was literally just sitting there watching, I guess knowing that this wasn't going to get either one of his boys booted. Is there some precedent that chick fighting is an automatic boot from the show or is the face slapping the line?

Did you see her in her red bikini in the challenge? All tits and ass.

Johanna looked amazing in her bikini in that challenge as well. Susie does nothing for me.

As long as you don't physically punch/slap someone, you can pretty much do whatever. The producers must have endless booze flowing because 90% of the altercations are due to intoxication.

Next season they should have a best of the best type show. Eric N, Alton, Wes, Landon, Derrick, CT, Johnny, Evan, Mark and whoever else all competing against each other. No teams and no no women.

That's a good idea. It could get ugly, but awesome.

I would just be surprised if they brought CT back again. It's two times in a row now. Where's the Miz on your list (not that he would do it...he has a real job)? Any best of the best would have to include Theo and Timmy as well.

Susie may be a bitch, but I'll always still root for her.

The Miz is busy being a WWE wrestler. I think he may even have a championship belt right now.

He used the reality show connection to help get his foot in the door, and then he busted his butt. He did all the minor league wrestling, went through the WWE developmental territories and then has steadily improved as a "pro".

He and John Hennigan (from Tough Enough 3) even had a successful and funny weekly internet "news show".

If used correctly, I personally think he could make it as far as the main events. He's already worked a short program with John Cena.

I always liked Mike (even when was dating Trishelle) so I'm happy for him. One of my favorite challenge moments was in Battle of the Seasons when Mike solved the puzzle that won the Real World vets the show.

Re: Real World/Road Rules "The Ruins" Season Discussion

Ok, if we're all now picking favorites, I'll send another vote Susie's way. Maybe because I'm a little older and I find her hot and not slutty/trampy/crazy-hot. Tattoo girl is very cute, though.

I enjoy slutty hot on tv (it's the closest I'll ever get to it again), so I certainly appreciate a lot of the MTV babes, but Susie is definitely more my taste now.

She has become way too much of a bitch, though, or simply that's the new "character" she's decided to be while "earning" money to pay for college.

On the slutty side there is always that threesome she had with Cara Zavaleta. That is definitely something I wish would have made TV.

Supposedly, she was also engaged to Timmy at some point as well.

I think I have all of Road Rules Australia on tape somewhere. That was almost entirely b/c of Susie (certainly not b/c of Piggy).

See, I don't see it a being bitchy. I see confidence but she actually goes out and backs it up. She was on of the first to go to in the Ruins and she was volunteering herself to go in next week. She's not as underhanded as Evan/Kenny but she's not naive about it either like a lot of them.

Re: Real World/Road Rules "The Ruins" Season Discussion

I don't have a memory like a lot of you. I mean, I watched the Australian version, but I'd totally be dependent on others, like a lot of those in this thread, to remind me of any of the specifics. I just have some blurry memories about them on the beach talking about sharks.

Still, I'm not trying to be insulting in calling anyone slutty or trampy. I figure in an MTV show thread you can kind of be loose (sorry about the unintended pun) with your descriptions of people.

And when I used that term, it's not just about behavior, it's also about the look. I mean, some of the girls certainly show it off more than others.

I still think Susie has been very bitchy this season. I don't care if she can back up her talk in challenges. Any way, she's only been in one time because the show is set up to protect top alliance members way too much. She's talked trash about things having nothing to do with her being strong compared to others being weaker. She's just been flat out nasty and mean-spirited.

Evan would say that's just playing the game. Well, then I'm just judging the behavior of the people in the game.

I sure wish you could have made a living do this kind of stuff when I was the right age. I probably could have been on one of the first 2 real worlds, but I'm not even sure about that. How old are most of those people now?
