[sarcasm]Oh thank God, Paula and Jenn are back. I sure didn't want to have to watch a season w/o them. Oh, and good, they brought Robin back. Awesome! [/sarcasm]

It's great to see TJ healthy enough to do this.

NiCK Crush

This is gonna be a great season. Last season was lacking.

Thanks for the reminder. I never watch MTV unless it's for these challenges, so I probably would have missed the first episode and not known until someone posted comments about what happened.

The group of people they cast is getting pretty static, but since there are always names that I can't remember (even if I know the person), I'll wait until after I see them before I comment. No Susie.

I hope there's some way that this challenge makes it difficult or close to impossible for Evan, Johnny, and Kenny from running it from start to finish.

dolphinboy

What a shock and in the first damned episode too:

Ropes Pierre

I don't know if i am more ashamed of the names on there i recognize or the ones i don't.

One way means i watch way too much MTV for an old geezer, the other means i am getting old and don't watch enough MTV.

Patman

I think I'm officially old, I probably recognized 2-3 names of the list of contestants.

Timber

For the life of me I don't know why CT hasn't been banned from these things. He's not the good kind of violent.

I've given up on the preliminary show (RW) and now focus just on the main events (Challenges)

rocketsauce

By far one of my guiltiest pleasures in TV. Most of these people are just awful humans but I have to watch season after season.

fumanstan

This looks like one of the most interesting Challenges yet to me given the cast and set up that's involved this time around.

keith71

Yep, I agree. I mean, don't these attention seeking camera hogging whores
have anything else better to do than appear on this show time and time again? Who knows, maybe because of the bad economy, a lot of these dorks
might be unemployed and really need the dough. Still, I have to watch this crap season after season as well. I really don't care about all the "drama"
between the cast, I pretty much just tune in to watch the crazy challenges
(Didn't Survivor and a million other reality shows rip off this show?).
Oh, and the eye candy is pretty nice too.(Cara Maria, yummm).

Goat3001

Thanks for the reminder mwbmis. I would have missed this.

And great to see TJ in good enough shape to do this. I can't wait for him to rip into someone for quitting.

And I have to echo what a lot of people are saying here. There isn't a single worthwhile human being on this show. Not one of them has contributed anything positive to society. They made their living by looking like assholes on TV, some for over a decade. Most have never held a real job. They are all narcissistic dickheads that act on pure id. With a few exceptions, they're all pieces of shit that love the fact that they're all pieces of shit.

But God help me I can't stop watching.

Double_Oh_7

Fixed.

mwbmis

I'm still betting that she's done. She is in her 30s and has done stuff with her life to contradict another post in this thread. Miz is doing alright for himself too.

I think they run it again. The only thing I see stopping them is if Wes isn't there to win money, and you really never know with that bozo. If he wants to win money, then he should be good b/c Evan is partnered with Nehemiah.

One thing is certain, with Paula as her partner it won't be long into the season before we get to hear Evelyn martyr herself.

Robin never did anything for me. I've always found her mostly hideous.

boogieman03

I wish I had a few episodes of this banked so I can run them back to back. Great start.

Love this show.

Thrush

Adam is such a dumb ass. Figures that hes the one guy who fell for TY's bating. Surprised that they didnt bring Dustin in as a replacement. He seems more the personality type that they go for.

windom

OK, I was expecting that CT would be the first to get kicked off for throwing a punch but not really surprised that it was Adam that actually got kicked off.

So Mike and Leroy are a team now..hardly rivals, more like besties. I agree they should have gotten Dustin if they could have. Actually a Mike and Dustin team would have been the best.

raven56706

Where is veronica???


Veronica.... she so hot

Rob V

Nice open handed slap he barely landed on Ty too. That confirmed that Adam is a total DB and he's all bark.

Goat3001

Between what I saw this episode and the previews for next week I can confirm that Laurel is still a ****.

boogieman03

Yeah, but I would still throw it in her.

Bill Needle

Thank you!

Bill Needle

Mmmm...yes...she is teh hot.

windom

I don't know...we haven't seen her on The Challenge in a few years it seems. Is it possible she is no longer hot? Her buddy Rachel has been missing too.

Also I'd like to see Coral and Svetlana return.

mwbmis

Veronica was on the Ruins with Susie! and trainwreck Tanya. If she were to be on Rivals it would probably be with one of those two, unless Julie Stoeffer was interested in returning after seven years.

I'm pretty sure Coral "retired" after Evan "betrayed" her. Coconuts only did the one challenge show.
