Whoa Nelly!<\/p>\n
This week\u2019s episode featured all the makings of classic: Drama, tension, fighting, backstabbing and despair.<\/p>\n
I\u2019ll start with Tanya, who I said in my first post is the <\/em>wildcard on this challenge. Well she went from wildcard to sympathetic figure. On this challenge I feel like a lot of personal relationships have merged onto the actual. Usually what\u2019s going on in one of the castmates personal life is left to the unknown, but on \u201cThe Ruins\u201d I\u2019ve heard about Johanna and Wes owning a house, Tanya being separated and basically living an unfulfilling life, rumored steroid use by KellyAnne and much more.<\/p>\n As far as the way Tanya was treated on the last week\u2019s episode, I thought it was very immature. Evan, Johnny and Kenny \u2013 who I disliked after I heard him open his mouth on the first episode of \u201cThe Ruins\u201d \u2013 are plain jerks. Yes, they are likable for the most part, but to exploit Tanya while she was very drunk was across the line.<\/p>\n It was just the boiling point for Tanya. Later on in the episode, she slapped the s dot-dot-dot out of Veronica. I\u2019m not a violent person, but I wished they wouldn\u2019t have broken up the fight. Veronica deserved everything she got and it\u2019s hard to believe that majority of these people are nearing 30 with the way the bicker and talk behind each other\u2019s backs. The fighting incident led to Tanya\u2019s immediate dismissal from the show, but the entertainment never waned.<\/p>\n Katie had one helluva episode. First, she goes on a tirade after someone leaves a plunger in her bed. Most of the words were directed at \u201cChallenger\u201d rookie Sarah. Katie also declared that \u201cThe Ruins\u201d would be her last challenge, seeing as she wants to settle down with her fianc\u00e9e and have kids \u2013 yeah, right.<\/p>\n This week\u2019s challenge featured a dominating performance from the \u201cChampions.\u201d The \u201cChallengers\u201d had a great chance of winning until Casey had to step up. I don\u2019t know about anyone else, but I\u2019m starting to believe that Casey made a deal with the \u201cChampions\u201d to throw every mission if they would give her a cut of their winnings. She\u2019s ABYSMAL. If Katie, a 4\u2019 11\u201d chain-smoking drunkard with no kind of athleticism, is able to compete decently in the challenges, why can\u2019t you Casey? I seriously hope she get\u2019s voted off next week but that would require the \u201cChallengers\u201d to win a challenge and with Casey on the team, those chances are slim.<\/p>\n Danny and Sarah were sent into the elimination from the \u201cChallengers\u201d squad against Darrell and Katie. In my opinion, this was the best elimination in a long time. The competitors were suspended in the air while they were force to hold onto a wooden hula-hoop. The first to let go twice was sent home. Both Katie and Danny fought hard, but took a L. I had an idea that Sarah was strong competitor, but after her performance in the challenge and in the elimination she has reached the official status of a strong player in this game. The \u201cChallengers\u201d are down to seven people and they definitely can\u2019t afford to lose another male player, with only Brad, Dunbar and Cohutta remaining.<\/p>\n Moment of the week: Two moments make up this special portion of \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d After Evan and a few others had pulled Tanya off of Veronica, they consoled her and told her how she was a part of their \u201cfamily.\u201d I\u2019m assuming this the RW\/RR family. Well, earlier in the episode, during the challenge, some of the \u201cChampions\u201d called out to Darrell, pronouncing it \u201cDare \u2013ull.\u201d Darrell\u2019s name is actually pronounced \u201cDa \u2013 rell.\u201d<\/p>\n So much for family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Whoa Nelly!
