    I used to hate Bananas and thought he was just a try hard when there were way better guys on the show.

    Now that he has embraced his heel role and they fill the cast with dumbasses like “Nelly” I can’t help but root for John (shout out Abram.)

    I had the same look Devin had on the reasoning of her and the other girls picks lol..

    I hope they pick bananas since Devin called for him

    Jemmye is one of the dumbest players ever. Bananas doesn’t give two shits about her

    I love how much Devin gets under Bananas skin

    It annoys me now how everyone worships bananas, in his prime I got it but he certainly can be beaten based on the last few seasons

    You’ve got idiots like Tony comparing himself and bananas to MJ/Pippen and fat slobs like jemmeye not realizing she hasn’t been thrown in is because she’s a lay up

    Shit was beyond frustrating listening to her reasoning

    Did you forget Tori was part of the "legends" ? One season?

    And she made it to a final by staying out of the girl drama and Jordan protecting her

    I saw the clip previewing the rest of the season. They bring in more mercenaries. I figure Darrell would be one, and CT as the other. Well no CT, but I am pumped at who the other guy was. Long time coming if I saw it correctly.

    In her defense though, she seemed like a pretty legit competitor. Didn't she crush in the individual challenges and win an elimination or 2?

    I'd argue she had more success in one season than Aneesa has had in her entire 20 year challenge career

    She's the drunk fat bitch at parties always stealing more food when no one is watching.
    Agreed. When she's on the outside looking in she can be pretty observant and sometimes hits the nail on the head in the confessionals but she turns straight ghetto fabulous when she could possibly get thrown in. Which kills me when she says; Johnny has never said my name= he's protecting me.

    And yet Cory/Nelson/Devin/other have never faced him in a challenge. Imagine Nelson vs. Bananas. It'd be pretty fucking close if it was purely physical.

    I think Zack is finally the favorite left to win... Still don’t think he will, but he has no reason not to.

    The cunty girls were annoying.

    Tony turning on Bananas....and Devin actually coming through with his hatred for Bananas made it an unreal episode. Cocky Devin is great.

    Reunion show will be fun when Bananas starts telling Tony how he's done with him in the future and you know Tony will get emotionally butt hurt over it.

    Always amazes me that Bananas can get mad at anybody screwing him over. Don't know how he so righteous in his anger at Tony with the amount of grimy shit he's done to everybody over the years.

    Hell, if given the opportunity the only person in that whole house he wouldn't screw over is Leroy but who knows about that if push comes to shove.

    Got to hand it to Tony, many men and many women have been in his position and most if not all of them have pussied out (like mean girl jemnye last episode). So for him to pull the trigger and Devin to back up his trash talk and hatred of bananas made it as buckwild said an unreal episode.

    UW: And everyone was coming from you day one, right? Which happens on every season.
    JB: It’s just never been this crazy before. I knew people wanted to get rid of me but this is the first time, since day one, the entire house was against me. All the guys banded together and we’re collectively working together against me. They didn’t show that on the season which is really annoying, the extent these guys were going to try to get me out. A guy like Tony, who I’ve never had a problem with and has always been in my corner, as soon as he got the chance, he jumped on board. I was dodging grenades from every angle. But that’s the environment I’ve created for myself. You’re a byproduct if what you create. If I were these guys, I’d do the same.

    UW: Was part of you proud of Tony? He said you kind of taught him how to play the game and would do the same?
    JB: No, no, no. That’s not me, though. I’ve never screwed over someone who I consider a close personal friend, someone who I look out for. Paula is the only example anyone can come up with but that’s entirely different. Sarah used me as her explanation too. If you’re gonna make a move, if you’re gonna do something dirty and screw someone over, don’t say you learned it from me. Don’t say it’s what I would have done … because I wouldn’t have. Tony had other clear options that would have caused a lot less drama and made a lot less waves. What Tony’s now done is made a move that benefits him in the short term, without thinking about future consequences. The only sure things in life are death, taxes and Johnny Bananas will be doing Challenges. So now, Tony has replaced Cory on my s–t list. Every challenge, he’s gonna have a really tough road to climb. It’s never been like him before. I found out that it was something they had been planning for a while. It wasn’t like a spur of the moment thing. He’s been masterminding for a while. It’s unfortunate. I’ve considered Tony a really close friend for a long time. Here’s the other thing: I’m not saying he shouldn’t have done it or I’m untouchable, but I feel like after everything that I’ve done for that guy, he at least owed me a heads up that I was going in.

    UW: We have to discuss the bullying that got out of hand. I feel like we’ve been seeing this for a long time on the show, back to Tonya’s days. Would you say it’s changed?
    JB: I’ve never seen anything like that. I’ve seen girls throwing personal belongings or getting in each other’s faces but there’s a one-on-one beef there [or] a reason why. This mean girl mob mentality was created this season. Kaleigh wasn’t the first, either. When you’re in a challenge, the worst feeling is being on your own and then when you’re ganged up on people. They were looking to make her the scapegoat. A lot of those girls felt very insecure about their physical performance at that part in the game and thought they could potentially be next up on the chopping block. So they used Natalie as a pawn to label Kaleigh as this evil person.

    When we’re in a challenge, we’re already in prison. We have everything taken away. The only thing that we have is our personal belongings. To go as a group into someone’s room – which is like your zen place where you should feel safe – to take their personal belongings and destroy them, then to feel no remorse? That’s the craziest part. Not one of them feels an ounce of remorse. They all feel justified in doing that. All three of them still have excuses about why they did it and don’t feel bad. It was so f–ked up. Jemmye’s the first one to go and accuse people of being a bully and being mean to girls. She preaches women empowerment. How are you gonna preach women empowerment and be all about it and you’re the first one to tear a girl down and not apologize. It was horrible. She was on her own! It reminded me of watching mean kids on a playground. As an adult, you see kids gang up on one kid and you’re like, “That’s f–ked up. How can kids be so mean?’ These girls are supposed to be adults, and they still are acting like that.

    The ganging up on Kayleigh was bullshit. Settle that shit one-on-one, don't bumrush her at the bar with insults then fuck with her belongings. I did like Kam and Cara telling the three messy bitches how fucked up they were being.

    The Tony move on Bananas (and his subsequent elimination) was great for multiple reasons. Not only did Tony show some backbone, but Kyle basically engineered that entire thing. He got into Tony's head in the bar and put the wheels in motion. For being a rookie from a different country who had no clue who any of the MTV people are (or even the Challenge in general) he's playing a masterful political game. Banging Cara (and whatever other girls he's fucked) and being friendly with every guy in the house. Shitty veterans like Cory should take notes.

    I really hate Jemmye and it annoys me how she always makes it at least halfway there by doing nothing. I guess it makes sense because she’s not a threat at all and can basically be eliminated at any point, but damn, she sucks.

    It was fucked up what the girls did to Kayleigh but it's also funny to see MTV do an about-face on bullying. Throwing roommates shit into the living room was a staple of all the past RW seasons.

    Also has anyone seen what Kyle used to look like? He's had some significant cosmetic surgery

    Bananas will always bitch when his shit gets turned on him like when Sarah said his name when she and Jordan were teamed up.
    Perfect timing for Devin to get Bananas where it wasn't something physical.
    And lol at Bananas not packing his bags.

    What is it going to take to get jemmeyes fat ugly face off my TV? Has she won anything.....EVER?!

    Boy was I rooting for devin, once I knew it was a game where you have to use your brain and strategy I knew it was 50/50 at best

    Johnny bitching is hilarious, what Kyle said to Tony was absolutely true. Had bananas came back they wouldn’t have gotten another shot to send him in and he would have been the favorite to win by a landslide.

    Right now it’s really wide open, on paper Zach is your #1 seed but having seen him in a final I don’t see him as a runaway favorite

    Fuck it....#TEAMTONY

    Finally caught up to the last episode and damn that stuff with the girls and Kayleigh was ridiculous. Middle school level stuff. LOL at Kailah talking crap about Kayleigh’s bra hanging out, when she has blue hair and has done nude modeling for suicidegirls or something similar.

    Like Johnny on the show but it’s always hilarious when he gets sent in or things don’t go his way

    I hate Jemmye and I wish they’d stop bringing her on. Most of the girls are at least attractive, but she’s disgusting and brings nothing to the table. Evelyn was gross but she was badass at the challenges. She brings absolutely nothing to the show but the worst out of other girls.

    I’ve always like Devin and I’ve been team bananas for awhile. I love that there’s a new rivalry now.

    Wonder if Tony goes to the Young Bucks side completely now that Bananas has it out for him. If you add Tony and Devin to the Cory/Hunter/Nelson trio that's suddenly a decent bloc and you finally have someone in Devin who isn't a complete dunce.
