Nah, keep that scumbag off these shows.
Wow Bananas. At least he took the defeat graciously. And how in the hell did Cory and Mitch do that?! From last place to first.
Cara and Jamie might have a chance.
The last few teams seems so weak to me.

Those damn puzzles, man. They can bring down anyone.
I think Bananas took the loss graciously because it was Cara Maria, who is definitely the best veteran competitor left. Game recognize game. If Bananas had gone down to, say, Cory and Mitch (just a hypothetical, I know they were safe), I think he would have been more upset.
I wonder if they would have a threesome with psycho Abe now.
The story john told of Abe threatening to burn down his house because he owed him $350 was kinda funny.
I dunno why but the recent real worlds have no appeal to me. Probably because there are so many reality shows now. mtv actually did that retro mtv programming a year or two ago and I enjoyed watching the really old seasons. The casts were so diverse and some of them were already eastablished in their lives. SF had pedro who was going through his sickness and being an activist and speaker, pam was studying to be a doctor and continued working while on the show, one guy was a musician, and you had puck. London had a pro race car driver, a fencer, a musician, and I think one girl was a model.

Think you're being too literal again brotha.
Shogun is right though.
back then it was more genuine. people wanting a break from life to do this experience
now it's more they do it to get recognized..
I wish i could pinpoint which season it started taking a turn. I almost want to say with David in New Orleans, he was trying hard to get famous.
The biggest shift in show history was Vegas because it was the first season where every cast member was 21 or older. Having 19 or 20-year-old cast members was a routine thing, and part of the drama of the show was how the person who couldn't legally drink would handle being around people who could. They'd try to sneak into bars and such. Vegas changed that. Even though the show has had underage cast members since (Cameran in San Diego, Priscilla in the new San Diego), they've mostly had 21+ casts. Hence, the turn into drunken debauchery, because everyone could take part.
I can see it and you look at how they depicted and handled Diem's death (which really overshadowed Knight's death honestly) during her last Challenge and showing the relationship with CT but then I tend to wonder if they dropped the ball or realized how serious what they were dealing with was in that RW San Diego season where they cast that cute chick Frankie who had some problems who eventually committed suicide a few years later (the season with Jamie Chung). Like to me they didn't exploit that girl's problems a lot. If anything she was shown to be more of a loner from what I remember.The biggest shift in show history was Vegas because it was the first season where every cast member was 21 or older.

A lot of people point to the first Vegas season as the turning point, but I think it kinda started a few seasons prior in Hawaii with Ruthie and her alcohol issues. They saw the "value" in selecting some of the most emotionally damaged young adults for the cast, making for some pretty volatile tv moments. Hot tubs, mostly attractive young cast with little to no career goals & free booze pretty much became the standard after that season.

Since then they've toed the line. They exploit it but not to extreme levels like we're use to on most reality tv. The production company is probably aware of that. So while they've switched the feel of the show they haven't gone crazy. It's probably why they don't have the best ratings when you consider the type of ppl they could cast. It's like they're trying to find their own kind of success doing it.
