    really hope the Paulie-Cara show gets broken up soon and doesn't last as long as the Lavender Ladies drama did last season. But I'm guessing they both make the final or get close.

    Also I didn't care for him at first but Bear might be the best new addition in a while. That tribunal was a terrible power trip and he knew exactly how to rile them up. Nany had no idea how to respond when he told her to stop flirting with him. And the poker table was just the right kind of crazy the show needs.

    I read that he's probably the biggest star on the show with largest social media following. He also allegedly the highest paid person on the cast this season

    Your last paragraph is stunning to me. Why is he so popular in the UK?

    Yeah....I'm gonna have to disagree with Brocktoon here. Bear fucking QUIT during a challenge. That's like the one thing you don't do on this show. Long line of quitters who have yet to make an second appearance on another season.

    He seems like an entitled baby who was trying to find a way to justify his actions. The Davonne eyeroll was classic. He's easily my least favorite of the Euro cast members.

    So Amanda came out and said she was over it and had already forgiven Johnny, Theo and Kyle for it. Wasn't going to make a big deal of it.

    Then the producers apparently started sending out cease and desist notices to cast members threatening legal action. Amanda lost it due to MTVs poor handling of the situation and now says she's done with it.

    Agreed. The Euros for the most part have been very good additions.

    The transformation of Kyle as a competitor has been interesting to watch too. His first season, he made it to the end basically because he just didn't give a shit and was there to party. Now he's actively involved in the game...still dumber than a box of rocks, but he's very into it.

    Totally agree about Kyle. Couldnt get past all the plastic surgery. He's a pretty entertaining guy though.

    I think the main difference is the existence of Paulie. He has turned him into a competitor, as he doesn't want to be sent packing before he's gone.

    The quitting scene was annoying (and I'm guessing forced so he could get more airtime) but I'm not too wrapped up in him as a competitor. He's been brought on for entertainment purposes and maybe down the road he becomes a better competitor. Everything he says and does is to mess with people. I think production tried to frame it differently but that whole tribunal scene was him messing with how stupid it was and how serious/arrogant Cara and Ninja were taking it. Him telling Nany to stop flirting was great and completely caught her off guard. The context of the poker table scene was great too because the majority of the group playing all think they're better than everyone else and were trying to separate themselves. I could be wrong but the rumor is that he has a three season deal and is the highest paid cast member. He may have pissed enough people off and is gone next week or there's a pretty good chance he becomes a central character the next few seasons.

    I did not care for him at all after he quit. Then he made the flirting comment to Nany...and then Kyle told him to have a few more drinks and do something that pisses off the other group and his reaction was basically ...."I don't need more booze to do that" and proceeds to dive across the whole poker table.

    Turbo seemed to be questioning whether he should murder Bear or let him live tho. Bear might want to refrain from bothering that guy again.

    Zach again pays the price for letting his partner pick their opponents. He's truly an idiot and will never learn.
    Judging by Hunter's effort in the tire challenge and assuming this season's final will be way more physical, no way he wins
    Leroy is fucked, mostly due to his partner being useless
    Bear is on a multi-season contract and supposedly has acted this way on other reality shows, he's got more Instagram followers than Bananas, CT, & Cara combined. It seems like mtv production is keen on keeping him around to see out that contract, it was a little weird how TJ was like "it will NOT happen again" re: Bear quitting the daily

    Overall it's been a good season, seems like they completely cut out all the drama after all the complaints the last 3 seasons where it would be all drama, a challenge, and then a cliffhanger before the elimination votes even took place.

    Maybe that’s why she lets loose on the Challenge and on Twitter. She seems pretty book smart (at least for a challenger) but she gets into spite mode and loses all bearings.

    It’s funny seeing these people do actual things. Bananas basically is enough of a celebrity that he does all these different appearances and does some other TV and posts all this stuff to IG, etc but the rest aren’t like that.

    I follow Zach on IG and he’s like an assistant football coach at a local HS.

    Watched the last 2 episodes tonight

    Zach really is a moron, and I do agree with what Cara was saying about him talking to women a certain way and he obviously treats Jenna like trash. To pick Wes...he just plays this game with zero strategy

    I’m loving these last 2 episodes focusing on bear, guy really is like the joker. And as we saw he can handle himself in an elimination.

    Leroy is just a joke...guy looks like Tarzan and plays like Jane. If bananas doesn’t protect him until the end he has no shot.

    And I agree with whoever said paulie being his rival has brought kyles game to an all new level.

    These vets are dropping like flies and these brits are no pushovers but like the lavender ladies last year eventually it will come down to every Brit for himself and that alliance will crumble

    Paulie can definitely be annoying, but from a pure competitor standpoint, he’s the next Derrick. Nobody really wants to go head to head with him in anything

    Paulie and Kyle are both playing really well. Basically all of the vet guys minus Wes played a terrible game. At least the UK people understand their only chance at progressing is by forming an alliance and sticking to it. Had no idea Bear was as popular as he is, I just assumed he was a middle of the road reality star like the rest of them

    Yup and while he has the intelligence level of a rock hunter was right about the danger of them throwing paulie/ninja in which they’d crush whoever theyd go against and now they are safe the following week

    Have been a little surprised that the kam/British hulk team has been kind of average ever since they were in the tribunal a few weeks back. They don’t seem to be a team anybody is willing to mess with though

    Last real weak team left now that Leroy/whatever his partners name was is gone is josh/Amanda

    - Poor Leroy catching feelings too late
    - Never would have thought Hunter and Nany would be a thing.
    - Turbo is a psycho. "Two men fight for woman. Maybe one die" :laugh:

    Kailah works as one of those girls in bikini’s who serve you your drinks at a Vegas hotel pool

    Having said that if you are working these regular jobs and MTV called and offered a trip to Africa for possibly a few weeks on their dime I totally see why they’d take it

    There have been some success stories though with Landon(has been covered in here) Emily who I believe runs her own gym and Wes was in investor investing in start ups at one point

    They were flirting at the bar, and they did a quick cut away to Nany being interviewed talking about how she" views Hunter differently than any other guy in this house "

    We all know where this is heading.

    Im sure it was a much harder gig before social media was a thing. Now, you can basically make a career of it for a decade then be a D list instagram celeb and live off that.

    Yeah. I'm not sure what exactly they could have edited to make him look like a bitch. He was being a baby at the house before the bar...at the bar....and after the bar. Fuck....he asked her for a hug after the bar. It wasn't just one interview.

    Well that’s what we saw because of how they edited it. Davonne did an IG video that talked about it and how the real drama was between herself, kam, and Theo.

    from a comment on there:

    "She (Davonne) was basically the first one to have a crush on Theo and stated how she was gonna be flirty with him. Kam was encouraging her to go for him but slowly but surely she noticed Kam was doing it as well.

    She caught onto Theo trying to come between their friendship and cared more about her and Kam’s friendship than Trying to go for Theo. But overall Kam went for Theo despite their discussions off camera. She even told Kam out of respect for her, she will never go after Leroy who was the guy she ACTUALLY liked FOREVERRR because she cherished their friendship."

    While he was very annoying about it I have to say I definitely agree with bears reasoning for wanting to throw Ninja/Paulie in. Problem was that he, I’m guessing, was thinking he’d have other people vote for them as well and nobody did so his master plan was a dud

    Could josh have looked worse in that episode? Not only does he cry...twice...he gets turned down from Amanda who apparently has hooked up with everyone

    Got excited when it looked like Amanda/josh were going to win that elimination, but them just having no strategy and being terrible competitors sealed their fate. Ashley/kam celebrating like they just crushed that was stupid, they got lucky as shit because they were getting blown out

    Really just Jenna and Gus left as weak teams, going to get real good the rest of the season

    Yeah seriously, they were getting worked and just happened that Josh is a doofus and fell. I wonder if the size difference between Josh and Amanda factored in at all; it looked like Ash and Kam could be back to back and work their way up the wall.

    Then they slid down and acted like they got a triple when they were born on third.
