Anyone still watching?

I didn't mind Evan in previous challenges, but this season he's just coming off as a major douche.

Yup, he's been a major douche this season. Hated to see Katie go because she's always among my favorites and I think she's hot but she didn't get much TV time this season anyway.

The faster Evan, Paula, MJ, and Dunbar go the happier I'll be.

You could tell what was up. She's been nonexistent until last night.

I agree, Evan really is coming off as a douche this season.

Honestly, as much as I watch the show for reasons I can't possibly understand or explain, aren't almost all of these people playing characters?

They make good money from appearances and stuff I don't personally ever hear about, but I know it happens for the majority of them to some extent and the more popular ones (like Evan) do quite well from these tv appearances whether they win or lose the games.

They might as well be reading off of cue cards most of the time. Evan used to be the guy who was in the cool group, but who was level-headed, empathetic, and kinder than the rest of that group.

Now, it's like they've just given him a new character to play.

Yeah, the "confessionals" sound more scripted than ever.

Bump for the finale tonight. Landon got kinda screwed, and I can't believe he lost to Brad just on being unable to clip the ring. Smart play by Brad.

I was sorry to see Diem lose. I think she would have done better then Aneesa at the end there. Was pulling for Brad, since i've liked him since Real World. And Rachel is a man.

I was sad to see Diem go too. If her foot didn't touch, she wins and Diem was smart enough to make an adjustment and go down on her knees to give her the advantage on the slick surface. I've always liked her, but I'm not as sure about what I think of her since now that I've seen she's actually been in love with that moronic goon CT.

Felt bad for Brad, even though I like Evan more, because if he won the 100k, maybe Tori would have gotten off his back for not having a job. :)

I don't know why they didn't do the fairest thing and draw straws or something random like putting all 4 names in a hat and picking any random name out instead of just picking a person the way the way they did.

I don't understand why so many of the men think Rachel's hot. She's totally a man. She friggin' beat BOTH Evan and Brad (she was helped by not actually pedaling the bike like the men did).

I hate how the people vote for who goes into the duels. Next time they should add a stipulation that you cant save someone twice unless you have saved everyone at least once. Picking the same people and leaving the same people at the bottom each time sucks.

The final battle was not fair when the guys had to wait for the next woman to show up. Because Rachel was so much better than the other girls, it gave Evan too much of an advantage.

This was a good season, but it seemed a lot shorter than previous seasons. I know that it has been 60 minutes long for a couple of years now, but it seems that this year was shorter.

AT&T U-Verse finally got MTV HD a couple of weeks back and in addition to the picture looking really good, I was so happy that I could see the show at 7pm PST instead of having to wait for the west coast feed at 10 pm, which I would have to wait until the next day to watch.

Well, we have Real World: Cancun starting in a couple of weeks.

Man I was really rooting for Brad. Wish he would of pulled it out. Pretty sure Diem would of performed much better than Anessa.

They really need to change up how people are sent into the duel. The usual suspects (those doing the duels the longest) are usually the ones in power and are the ones who dictate who go into the duel.

Rachel, who won, never went into a duel if I'm not mistaken.

Rachel was with Brad though on the team up thing, so it hurt Evan but he still came through in the end. Mark really got screwed :lol: He took it really well though, which was pretty awesome. Not like Evan, yelling at Brit on top of the hill.

I also had to laugh how Landon was done in.

Goes to get some paper for a vote, and all three of the guys decide to put him in.

:lol:

Maybe...but Evan won by like two seconds, and he forced Brittni not to quit or rest. Mark had no chance. It was easy to do what he did.

I like Diem too, but it's hard not to hold CT against her. Really, what does that say about her?

I feel ok still watching these because Mark is older than I am.

There are not many good reality shows around but I definetly enjoy watching the challenges. Aneesa is a fat slob pig.

Since I just got cable this week, and started watching some of these final episodes. Do any of these people have real jobs?

Seems a lot of them just have speaking engagements and are living off that.
