"Final Destination"-The Challenge: Rivals II Episode 11 (RECAP)

So I FINALLY got a chance to watch last Wednesday’s episode of The Challenge: Rivals II! I know, BEYOND late, seeing as though the finale and live reunion premiered last night (that recap will be up today as well). It’s been a crazy exhausting week and a half and I have a lot to catch up on in my writing life. The week before this episode, we were left on a cliffhanger as Diem and Aneesa faced Jemmye and Camila in the last Jungle, “Hanging By A Thread.” The main objective of the game is to cut through two ropes while hanging upside down. Obviously, the winners will go on to the Finals! Diem struggles to even touch the rope and starts freaking out! Though Camila is short and can’t reach the rope either, Jemmye uses her saw to bring the rope to her and they get through it. Once Diem and Aneesa figure that out, they begin to work through the ropes too! Unfortunately, they just couldn’t pull it out in time. Jemmye and Camila win, sending Diem and Aneesa home right before the Final. It sucks because I really wanted to see Aneesa in the final, and it’s hard to get that close and lose like that. Though they’re both upset, they’re grateful that they got to know each other better and become closer. Diem also holds no ill will towards CT (though me being the grudgeful person that I am, I definitely would!).

Anyway, the final six teams have been decided! For the girls, we have Emily and Paula, Cara Maria and Cooke, and Jemmye and Camila. For the guys, we have Johnny and Frank, CT and Wes, and Marlon and Jordan.  TJ gives everyone a few days to relax, but also tells them that he can’t stand the heat in Thailand anymore, implying that they’ll be going somewhere new! Back at the house, the teams train for the Finals. Emily is doubtful going into the challenge, worried that she may not be able to hack it. The housemates also talk about where they’ll be going. They don’t know what in the world’s going to happen with them!

That night, the house gets a text from TJ: “I hope that you enjoyed your time off, as things are about to get interesting! Meet me in TOKYO tomorrow at 10 p.m and we’re going to see how you handle the city for a change!” This is CRAZY! I feel like the Final Challenge has always been in a pretty remote place, so no one really knows what’s going to happen! Wes is worried that they are going to be distracted in the big city and the Challenge will turn into something that anyone can win. Paula is stressed now too because she thinks it’s going to be a puzzle scavenger hunt that doesn’t require real skill.

The next day, the house preps to leave for Tokyo when a van of guys get in front of their bus and jump on board! One of them is T.J. and he tells them that things have changed! The teams all get their hands tied together and bags are put over their heads. Then they get put in two separate vans! Turns out there is no Tokyo at all! The teams are still in Thailand, and have to run in that sweltering heat that they have come to know and adore. T.J. reminds them again of the stakes: 3rd place, both teams will split $15K. The 2nd place teams get $35 grand, while first place takes home a whopping $125,000 ($62,500 for each team member!).

There is a yacht anchored off the coast of what T.J. calls “Dream Island.” The teams have to swim a mile to get to the shore and solve one of three puzzles to get a key to a kayak to get to the yacht. Another twist: there’s only room on the yacht for two guys’ teams and two girls’ teams! So the last place teams in Day 1 don’t even get to see the rest of the Challenge! The girls start first, and Emily and Paula take off! The boys start a few minutes later, and everyone is swimming hard to get to shore. Cara, of course, struggles because swimming is a real weakness of hers.

Emily and Paula are the first girls’ team on shore, followed shortly after by Jemmye and Camila.
They have to assemble one of three puzzles with huge Tetris-looking blocks within an hour. Because of their challenge with the swimming, Cooke and Cara have to seriously make up time. The guys all eventually get to shore, and start working on their puzzles. Everyone is struggling to get these pieces to work, and teams are already starting to crumble. However, CT and Wes figure out their puzzle first and get their key to advance to day 2! Johnny and Frank start arguing, while Marlon and Jordan try to make their puzzle work.

After everything, Cara Maria and Cooke surprisingly get their puzzle right and move on, making them the first girls’ team to make it to the yacht. I wouldn’t be upset if they won at all. For one thing, Cooke went to Loyola University Maryland as did I (I didn’t know her, but Greyhounds stick together haha!). Also, Cooke and Cara have seriously the underdog and the scapegoat in this entire challenge. A lot of that stems from the fact that not a lot of people really like Cara Maria. However, they’ve managed to fight for their spot, and they deserve to move on to fight to the finish! Emily and Paula get their puzzle right finally and take off towards the boat, leaving Camila and Jemmye to take 3rd place getting $15K. Unfortunately for them, that ends their time in Thailand, and they don’t get to see the rest of the Final. The guys’ hour time limit expired and it’s basically a kayak race between Frank and Johnny and Marlon & Jordan. As the teams race for the yacht, one of the boats capsizes and I’m pretty sure it was Frank and Johnny! Then…the episode ends. Ugh I hate cliffhangers!

The SEASON FINALE of The Challenge: Rivals II premiered last night (I’m typing up the recap just as soon as this one is published). Definitely a good one that I hope you didn’t miss!

In The Spotlight: Coyotito

I have another artist to spotlight today (Any artist, designer, producer, etc, looking to be featured please contact me). This has been a LONG time coming, but greatly deserved! It was important to me to feature rapper Coyotito, not only because he works with Anthony Glover of Concrete Entertainment (who I featured a little over a year after I started Spotlight, and still keep in touch with), but because, after listening to his music, I was hooked! The man is truly a lyricist, which I believe is rare in hip hop today.

Born and raised in the Hollygrove neighborhood of New Orleans, “Tito” as he is also known, grew up watching videos of his favorite rappers on TV. Even as a young kid, he dreamed of being a rapper and began recording his own lyrics over popular songs, using a tape deck and recorder. “The moment I fell in love with hip hop was when I heard Special Ed’s ‘I’m the Magnificent,” he said of his love of hip hop. “The beat, the lyrics and his whole style was just fresh to me.  It made me feel so good to the point where I just wanted to recite it and listen to it over and over again.”In addition to Special Ed, artists like Rakim, Scarface, Fiend, Soulja Slim, and Jay-Z inspired him to hone his craft and mold his dream.

Quickly, Tito became a student of hip hop, studying how exactly his favorite artists put a song together. He learned not only how to choose a right beat for a song, but revealing a powerful message through the music. He also grew in his craft from his home environment of New Orleans, rich in music and culture. Growing up there, he learned that it was okay to simply be himself and show who he is in his music.  He could showcase a positive message in his lyrics, without falling into the typical lines about sex, fame, women and money. And that is what separates him from different artists out here! “I love hip hop music.  I have a passion for writing songs and coming up with the craziest lyrics,” the rapper said of his craft. I feel that I have the talent, mindset, and work ethics needed to succeed in this industry.” It’s that drive, work ethic and talent that is going to take him far!

Currently Coyotito is working on his new mixtape Shut Up and Rap, a new project in which he “channels his pristine lyrical writing skills and relies on that original hip hop sound to bring the industry back to the times when you actually had to rap about something, not just anything.” It’s definitely a tape to be on the lookout for! You can learn more from Coyotito on Bound43Music.com and ReverbNation, as well as Facebook! And check out some of his music below!

Hollywood Exes S2, Episode 11 (RECAP)

Loving Hollywood Exes this season! There’s a good amount of drama, but there’s a great amount of fun, business ventures, and comedy! As this season is dwindling down, I hope that VH1 renews it for a third.  Picking up from last week, Tony and Andrea go to the park, and Drea shares that she has a new plan up her sleeve. She called her manager, and plans to do a dance fitness DVD. With the DVD under her belt, she wants to travel and do master classes in major cities. For Drea, this DVD isn’t about losing weight quick. It’s about women embracing their sexy curves, but toning up! The video will feature a lot of fun, sexy moves but still calorie burning! It’s definitely going to be a lot of work. There has to be a casting call for background dancers, a set location, filimint crew and more. It’s going to be A LOT of work, mostly for Tony!

That night, Nicole invites the girls to go to a Hollywood party for her friend, celebrity hairstylist Chaz Dean. As the party goes on, Jessica gets drinks at the bar and suddenly sees her second ex-husband Garth and his girlfriend! Apparently the guy is a very good plastic surgeon who Jessica even worked with during their marriage. Jessica talks to him and catches up, but she kind of pushes herself all over him! Even though she’s probably drunk, she needs to have a little bit more sense in her head to do all of that.

The next weekend, Sheree has closet organizers come in to help make room in her closet for Terrell’s stuff. Even with that garage sale they had, they still have a lot of stuff cluttering the closet that she still has to get rid of! The ladies do a great job of cleaning out the closet. However, they took out things that seemed outdated or out of season. Sheree struggles to let go of the stuff, but she eventually backs off and lets them do what they’ve come to do.

Meanwhile, Jessica and Drea spend more time together again and go to the beach to talk. Drea talks about her fitness DVD which will be shot at Debbie Allen’s studio! Jessica shares that she saw Garth at the party, and she still feels a little connection between them. After watching her this season, I don’t necessarily think she’s really back into him. I think she’s in love with the idea of being in true love and having something work. We’ve all been there, but that’s no reason to try to get back with an ex, especially when he has a girlfriend! Andrea advises her that there is a reason why they got divorced, and she may want to consider that before moving forward.

The next day, Andrea meets her dancers at Millennium to practice for the DVD. The workout will be filled with moves that ladies can use when they want to get sexy for their significant other! She put Tony in charge of wardrobe, who finds cute little pieces for the ladies to wear. Rehearsal goes very well, but it’s clear that Andrea’s ankle is still not fully healed. She’s going to try to do the routine in her heels, but there’s no telling how that’s going to turn out.

That evening, Nicole, her mom Ellen, and Mayte, goes to Jessica’s practice. Ellen wants to get her vagina rejuvenated and tightened. It’s weird for Nicole to watch her mother do this, but she goes to support. Even though Nicole’s father passed, Ellen figures she would give her husband a present when she gets up to heaven herself! This lady and her jokes make up some of the funniest parts of the show! Ellen actually likes it, but she comes out walking funny afterwards!

Later, Sheree shows off the renovated closet to Terrell. It’s so clean and perfect. Terrell really appreciated the effort, because he knows how much Sheree loves her clothes and shoes. This is his home now too, and Sheree didn’t want him to feel like a guest anymore. Meanwhile, Jessica and Mayte show up to Garth’s office as Mayte wants to get her breasts reconstructed. However, Jessica knows she just wants to see Garth again! Jessica used to work there, and it brings back a lot of memories for her. She’s beginning to think that the divorce wasn’t the right decision. During Mayte’s consultation, Jessica is very distracting and flirtatious. The whole thing was very awkward. Here’s this man just trying to do his job, and his ex is all over his back. Jessica, get it together!

The next day, Andrea gets to film her workout DVD only….she’s late. What’s worse is that her background dancers are not there either! By the time everyone gets there, gets dressed, puts makeup together, they are 45 minutes behind schedule. Unfortunately for Andrea, her shoot is a definite case of Murphy’s Law. Everything that could go wrong, does go wrong! Andrea ends up getting a run in her stocking and has to shoot her scene over after taking them off. Then the air conditioner comes on, holding up production since it’s so loud! She also breaks her nail in the midst of everything. However, in spite of it all, the shoot comes together and looks very sexy and fun! AND Miss Andrea does it all in heels, injured ankle and all! You better check your email honey!

Later on, Mayte and Jessica walk Mayte’s dogs. Mayte is nervous about the pain after she gets her breasts done again. Jessica reassures her that she’ll be okay. Mayte also brings up the sparks between Jessica and Garth. Maybe it’s just me, but I feel like those sparks were a little one-sided just from watching! Garth looked a little embarrassed behind it all to me. Jessica admits that she was dumb in divorcing him. She didn’t understand why he had to work so much, becoming very insecure and distrustful of him, eventually pushing him away. Mayte thinks that Jessica should say something to him, and she plans to when she goes with Mayte for her operation. This girl. I want her to focus on Jessica for a second. Everyone needs that time of being alone to be able to get the mind right and figure out what he or she wants out of life in general, not even just love. Plus the man has a girlfriend! Now Jessica is seeing that the grass isn’t too much greener on the other side, and thinks she wants him back. But she was just thinking about getting back with Jose earlier on in the season! This is just me from the outside looking in. Jessica needs to worry about herself and Josie for now. Anything else that comes along and is meant to be, will be.

Hollywood Exes S2, Episode 10 (RECAP)

The past week has been has been absolutely CRAZY. I’m definitely behind on a lot. Balancing the So I owe two recaps of Hollywood Exes this week (last week’s and last night’s episodes). Haven’t had a chance to watch and recap Wednesday’s episode of The Challenge: Rivals II yet. Basically staying away from any and all things MTV until I do! My life has become a balancing act, which I’ll write about on BrittanyShawnte.com sometime this week.

Picking up from Episode 9, the girls are back in a good place after their Utah trip. Nicole has brunch in her backyard with her sister-in-law Jamie and her mom Ellen to discuss the wedding plans! Jessica swings by as well. With this second wedding, Nicole definitely wants something more toned down than her first, with probably a local setting. She wants to go ahead lock in the date, but she and Michael are still working out that prenup! Once that’s done, details can finally be finished. It’s a struggle, but it’s important that they both protect themselves in case things do go wrong. I’m hoping that they don’t though, because they seem really great together!

Later, Sheree meets with Jessica for dinner. Sheree reveals that she is completely over moving Terrell’s stuff into their house, planning to have a garage sale, but even that might not be enough. Truth is, Sheree has gotten settled into her space with her son Trey, and now that Terrell is moving down from San Diego, she has to adjust. Jessica then asks for some much needed advice on Josie, who is doing terrible in chemistry and math! Jessica gets very emotional about it, because she has no idea what Josie is really doing, and it’s hard to stay on top of her. Apparently, Josie has also skipped a class as well, which Jessica gets an email about. She calls Josie from the table to get an explanation! Josie blames her mom taking away her car for the reason she missed her morning Bible class. Her friend was late getting her so she didn’t get there in time. At the end of the day, Jessica, as a mom, needs to start putting her foot down. Josie, to me, has too much freedom. She seems like a good kid overall, but she needs more structure as well as consequences for her actions. Jessica also reveals that Jose up and moved to Vegas! The man is not a dependable father, and is probably the reason why Josie’s trying to act out. Now, granted, Josie is responsible for her own decisions, but she needs a strong father figure in her life, and Jose isn’t that at all.

The next day, Nicole goes out with Mayte and Jessica to look at some dresses. Greeted with champagne, the ladies look through some fabulous choices. Since they all have been married before, they talk about their first wedding gowns. Mayte absolutely hated hers even though it was custom made, but Prince LOVED it. The women also talk about how they felt like they lost a piece of their own identity in their relationships, feeling somewhat controlled because their husbands were the major breadwinners. For Mayte and Jessica, it’s hard to find a guy that is financially stable, but feels like he doesn’t have power over you just because he has money. Nicole eventually tries on a bunch of dresses, all of which are pretty. She wants something simple and elegant, yet completely different from her first when she was married to Eddie. Mayte and Jessica join in on the fun, coming out in these crazy looking poofy dresses! It was fun, but hopefully Nicole picks something out and walks down that aisle soon!

That afternoon, Shamicka and Andrea meet up for lunch. Shamicka is so glad that she has the ladies in her life now. She’s dealing with her divorce, and is beyond grateful for their support. The ladies have all been the celebrity wife and then ex-wife, so they understand what she’s going through, especially Andrea who shares personal stories with her. Drea remembers at the Grammys one year. She was left at the hotel, and then Mr. Robert Kelly went on the red carpet with another woman. Absolutely disrespectful, but Andrea swept it under the rug. When you love someone, you tend to make excuses for his or her behavior, and Shamicka completely related to that. I think she and Andrea will have a great relationship! They’re different, but still very much alike!

Meanwhile, Terrell and Sheree finally have their garage sale. It’s crazy just how much stuff they have! Mayte comes over and brings Gia, who shows off some more of her walking skills! Terrell gets really excited to meet her. He loves babies, but Sheree hopes that he doesn’t think that he’s going to have one with her. She doesn’t find it that appealing to start over with a new baby the more time goes by, especially since her son Trey is basically grown! Shamicka comes through as well with her grandmother. By the end of the day, Sheree and Terrell make a little dent in getting rid of some stuff, but still definitely have a long way to go!

Later, Jessica goes to a therapist to talk about her issues with Jose and Josie. It’s quite possible that Jose not being around is directly related to Josie’s problems in school. She might just be acting out because of Jose not being in her life. He hasn’t made her a priority in her life. He doesn’t even pay child support! Jessica knows that, even though this all hurts her, she can’t crumble, because she is all that Josie has. The therapist advises that Jessica should talk to Josie about all this, and try to work things through. Josie herself needs to voice her own opinions to her father as well.

Mayte and Andrea meet up and talk about Gia and the official adoption. Mayte has had to go through so much already to adopt Gia, but she’s almost there. She just can’t wait until Gia is completely 100% hers. Andrea encourages her to remain prayerful and hopeful through this process. However, Drea wants Mayte to prepare herself for the harsh possibility that she might lose Gia. I hope that she doesn’t. Adoption is such a tricky thing, I know. However, Gia is very happy with Mayte and Nelly and I think that Mayte deserves to keep her and be a mommy!

The next day, Jessica talks to Josie and plans to work through her homework with her to get her back on track with school. Jessica asks her if it’s bothers her that Jose is gone, but Josie’s not even surprised. Josie has become a little numb and cold to it all, saying that she doesn’t trust anybody, and doesn’t want to talk to a therapist because she’s been let down so much. It’s sad that Jose has made her like this. Jessica tells Josie that she needs to lay it all out to him about how she feels. When she calls him, Jose explains that he made the move to possibly be a hitting instructor for a baseball training facility. Josie asks why he can’t do that in L.A. Jose quickly gets defensive, saying that he felt like she had no time for him, always wanting to be with her friends.Josie lets him have it because it’s ridiculous. You’re the parent and Josie’s the kid. Even if she wants to be with her friends, make the extra effort to spend time with her. He feels “ignored,” but he just really doesn’t show up. When Jessica tells him that he can’t keep coming in and out of Josie’s life, and that she’s become cold to him, Jose gets pissed, saying that Jessica has been sabotaging their relationship from the beginning. He even throws a low blow saying that she slept with an 80-year-old for money, and hangs up! At that point, Jessica refuses to deal with him anymore, and rightly so. She’s not going to keep Josie away from her father, but Jessica’s done dealing with him. I don’t blame her. And I wouldn’t blame Josie if she decided she wanted to do the same.

Hollywood Exes S2, Episode 10 (RECAP)

The past week has been has been absolutely CRAZY. I’m definitely behind on a lot. Balancing the So I owe two recaps of Hollywood Exes this week (last week’s and last night’s episodes). Haven’t had a chance to watch and recap Wednesday’s episode of The Challenge: Rivals II yet. Basically staying away from any and all things MTV until I do! My life has become a balancing act, which I’ll write about on BrittanyShawnte.com sometime this week.

Picking up from Episode 9, the girls are back in a good place after their Utah trip. Nicole has brunch in her backyard with her sister-in-law Jamie and her mom Ellen to discuss the wedding plans! Jessica swings by as well. With this second wedding, Nicole definitely wants something more toned down than her first, with probably a local setting. She wants to go ahead lock in the date, but she and Michael are still working out that prenup! Once that’s done, details can finally be finished. It’s a struggle, but it’s important that they both protect themselves in case things do go wrong. I’m hoping that they don’t though, because they seem really great together!

Later, Sheree meets with Jessica for dinner. Sheree reveals that she is completely over moving Terrell’s stuff into their house, planning to have a garage sale, but even that might not be enough. Truth is, Sheree has gotten settled into her space with her son Trey, and now that Terrell is moving down from San Diego, she has to adjust. Jessica then asks for some much needed advice on Josie, who is doing terrible in chemistry and math! Jessica gets very emotional about it, because she has no idea what Josie is really doing, and it’s hard to stay on top of her. Apparently, Josie has also skipped a class as well, which Jessica gets an email about. She calls Josie from the table to get an explanation! Josie blames her mom taking away her car for the reason she missed her morning Bible class. Her friend was late getting her so she didn’t get there in time. At the end of the day, Jessica, as a mom, needs to start putting her foot down. Josie, to me, has too much freedom. She seems like a good kid overall, but she needs more structure as well as consequences for her actions. Jessica also reveals that Jose up and moved to Vegas! The man is not a dependable father, and is probably the reason why Josie’s trying to act out. Now, granted, Josie is responsible for her own decisions, but she needs a strong father figure in her life, and Jose isn’t that at all.

The next day, Nicole goes out with Mayte and Jessica to look at some dresses. Greeted with champagne, the ladies look through some fabulous choices. Since they all have been married before, they talk about their first wedding gowns. Mayte absolutely hated hers even though it was custom made, but Prince LOVED it. The women also talk about how they felt like they lost a piece of their own identity in their relationships, feeling somewhat controlled because their husbands were the major breadwinners. For Mayte and Jessica, it’s hard to find a guy that is financially stable, but feels like he doesn’t have power over you just because he has money. Nicole eventually tries on a bunch of dresses, all of which are pretty. She wants something simple and elegant, yet completely different from her first when she was married to Eddie.

"True Colors"-The Challenge: Rivals II Episode 10 (RECAP)

It’s getting down to the wire for The Challenge: Rivals II! Picking up from last week, the house swims in the pool, and CT and Diem joke around. Diem vents to Aneesa saying that she feels “full” around him, and that he sees her for exactly who she is. That, of course, makes her feel good, and, after struggling with this second bout of ovarian cancer, it seems like she really needs that. Aneesa doesn’t know if Diem’s setting herself up for failure when it comes to her emotions, though. Johnny, who is very close with Diem, later tells her that CT is manipulative and might be playing with her emotions. Camila tells her that no one knows how they really feel except for them. Diem doesn’t really think that CT would screw her over in this game at the expense of her feelings.Meanwhile, Cooke thinks that the other ladies are threatened by her and Cara. They know that they have to win the last challenge. Otherwise, they risk going home in the Jungle, because they will definitely get thrown in!

Later, T.J. sends the house a clue: “Who are the real winners and losers amongst you? We’ll see your true colors at tomorrow’s challenge!” When the other ladies, minus Cara and Cooke, talk about the game, they realize that their fates are up to the game now. Through a lot of politicking, they have gotten this far together, but the next few days, things may get a little crazy! Camila hopes that the other ladies will get to the Final, but not Cooke and Cara. Paula gets angry all of a sudden at the conversation and walks out. When Camila goes to talk to her, Paula expresses that she thinks that people will definitely not be friends after this, which upsets her.

At the next day’s challenge on the beach, TJ reiterates the importance of winning this for the girls! Since the guys are already in the Finals, they’re not competing. The girls compete in “Color Correction.” There’s a mile-long trail along the beach, which the girls have to run along to get to a hut. In the hut, there is a light panel that flashes a sequence of colors that the ladies have to memorize. Then they have to run back to the other end of the beach to put colored dials on a pole in the order they saw it. The catch of the challenge: they will also be chained together! There are two rounds, with the first two teams to win the first round moving on to compete in the winners’ round. The team that finishes last will automatically head to to the Jungle! The ladies all struggle memorizing the colors after that long run up to the hut. When they finally get there, Aneesa throws Diem off of memorizing by saying her own colors out loud. Diem wastes time because she doesn’t trust that Aneesa knows the colors herself, and stays to make sure she has it in her own head. That, however, hurts them in the end, giving Diem and Aneesa a ticket to the last Jungle. That sucks for them, because what’s probably worse than going home first is being the last team eliminated before the Final, right when you’re so close! Cooke and Cara move to the winners’ round as well as Paula and Emily. In the heat, Paula struggles to remember the colors. Cooke and Cara, confident that they have the 17-color sequence down, take off for the end.  They win this challenge, which was the most important challenge for them to win!!!! I’m happy for them, because they were the underdog this entire challenge, and they busted their butts to get here. They were thrown in the Jungle time after time again as the scapegoat, and came out winning, so I think that they deserve a spot in the Final. The only thing is that now, Aneesa and Diem will have to go against two of their friends. Diem, however, wants to go against Jemmye and Camila, because Emily and Paula are definitely the stronger team. Camila thinks that the guys should just choose by themselves, and wants Diem to just stay out of it. Already the drama starts!

Before deliberation, the other girls think that Cara and Cooke shouldn’t be here. Diem wants so bad to beat Cooke, and goes off about it! Diem and Aneesa goes to talk to the guys, who are split on who they want to send in. Diem thinks that the guys should ask her and Aneesa who they want to go against, and is rubbed the wrong way that CT didn’t even ask. If he doesn’t step up and defend her now, it will show his motives and true allegiance. At the pool, Diem talks to CT about it. CT and Wes said that she said that she would want the harder team if she was put into the Jungle. There’s only two teams, and they think that they should throw in Paula and Emily, especially since Jemmye and Camila have had their back throughout the Challenge. CT says that they can’t do everything for Diem. Here’s my thing. Just last episode, probably the day before in real time, CT said that he would help her get into the Final, and now that the time is here, he’s bailing! He’s definitely showing his own true colors right now! If Diem wants Jemmye and Camila to make it easier for them, he ought to vote them in! It just makes him look shady, like he just played with her feelings all this time just to get ahead.

Meanwhile, Paula thinks that if she and Emily are not in the Final, Cara and Cooke will probably win. Marlon and Jordan want to send them in, because they sent the rookies in themselves before. Paula breaks out a few tears, and literally begs for the rookies to save them, especially because they went so hard in this game!  It pisses Jemmye and Camila off, but you have to do what you have to do to save your tail. It’s the way of the game. At deliberation, the vote is split. Johnny and Frank vote for Jemmye and Camila, while CT and Wes vote Emily and Paula. The decision comes down to the rookies, and, in a shocking decision, they vote Jemmye and Camila. In the end, the rookies realize that Emily and Paula won 80-85% of the challenges, and that’s why they saved them. Those two fought hard to be here as well, and deserve their shot!

Camila, after seeing that Diem looked relieved about going against her and Jemmye, goes off about it. They both think that Diem is fake, only playing the nice girl role when really she’s manipulative to get what she wants. They’re both honestly just upset that they’re in the Jungle so close to the Final. Aneesa sets everybody straight, telling that that what’s done is done, and they all just have to deal with it, and fight for that last spot.

Later, Diem, who is going a little crazy trying to mentally prepare herself for the challenge, drunkingly goes off on Cooke! She tells everyone that she tried to like the girl, and it didn’t work, but Cooke doesn’t care. Diem also feels used and manipulated by CT, and gets upset that Jemmye said that she got played. She has no idea what was real. When CT approaches her, she runs after him to confront him. At the end of the day, he played her ALLLLL the way to the left! He just looks really shady and inconsistent. If I were Diem, I would run for the hills, no matter how cute he is. You can’t trust somebody who blatantly breaks his word like that!

The next night, the teams are seen walking into the last Jungle. Diem and Aneesa are getting ready to face Jemmye and Camila in the last Jungle of the season, which is sure to be intense! And the episode ends. I’m definitely anxious to see who goes home. Part of me wants Diem and Aneesa to win because I really do like Aneesa, but then I love seeing Camila in these challenges too! We’ll see what happens next week!

Check out the last few episodes of The Challenge: Rivals II on Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET only on MTV!
