Anybody watching?

Coral was the only reason I decided to tune in.

I kinda like the twist of having them compete in pairs: one alumni with one of the fresh meat. Although, all of the attention is going to be on the alumni competing and the whole politics amongst them. The Austin people, being new to the challenges, have a huge target on their backs. But, I really don't mind, because I can't stand either of them. I particularly don't like Danny/Melinda and Wes.

If you haven't, you gotta watch the After Show on MTV Overdrive. Coral and Danny are interviewed, and of course Coral will just crack you up with her observations of the cast. LOL!

They know now though to throw stuff away or what they want to take home and what they want to leave and what to give things to people to lessen their loads.

not really. They are given bags equal to the weight of their bags they had when they came on to the challenge. The bags they carry dont contian their actual stuff. This was all pre-determined once they came to Australia and their number cant be changed.

The weights are allotted based on the luggage they bring to the van to take home with them.

I hate to say, but I'm really not into this years challenge. Maybe it's the new people, maybe it's having the first month of the show be all about the Austin cast, but it's just not that good. I didn't see last Monday's episode because I was watching the Home Run Derby, but I hope it gets better tonight.

Ha, ha! After Coral was talking smack about that "Swimming with the Sharks" competition, "My name is Coral," she got all scared and couldn't complete the task. I was LMAO. I'm glad that she and Evan didn't get selected to go into Exhile, though.

Speaking of, SHOCKER, Wes and Casey wasn't selected. Instead we have Tina/Kenny and Katie/Eric. Unless they save themselves next week, I think Katie and Eric are going home.

I was ROTFLMAO when Kenny nominated himself and Tina into Exile and she got up and left. That was hilarious. I was loving him this episode and I hope they make it past the next episode. I think they are my favorite team.

I think I saw Coral on a stretcher in the previews. I wonder what thats about

Hasn't Coral had an encounter with an ambulance during most of the challenges she's been on?

I am glad Wes isn't going in. At least we have some unpredictability now. It looks like Wes was coaching Kate on the next episode about the exile. Tina is pissing me off this year.

I forgot about that. That was funny. Kenny's on this week's "After Show" if anyone's interested.

And Evan's still going strong with that sports hernia. YIKES! I wonder when he's going to finally tell Coral and deal with it. Hopefully before it gets too bad.

Good, now we can steer clear of Wes for a week. I am glad Shane was fair and put Katie/Eric in. That sucks Tina is going in, but I have a feeling she'll stick around.

Tina lost all credibility with me when she started !@#$%^&*]ing at Kenny for putting them in. What the [!@#$%^&*]?! Tina, you are the one who has been saying almost every week now that you and Kenny are moving closer to the Exile. Well guess what! You are THERE, honey! You are THERE.

And I hate how she seems to think that Kenny is to blame for everything! Kenny is not the only one to blame for it! All she does is complain! "We need to start winning" and [!@#$%^&*] like that! Shut up Tina! Kenny's hot, dammit! Don't scream at him!

*whew*

My computer is too slow for the AfterShow. Can somebody summarize it for me?

Kenny's hot, dammit! Don't scream at him!

I'm LMAO!

Are you pissed off at Tina because of her !@#$%^&*]ing or because you think Kenny is hot. LOL!

Combination of both, my friend. I couldn't help but agree with Shane when he said that he "wants to taste Kenny's meat."

Team Coral and Evan just keep getting hit with one medical problem after another. I don't get why Evan doesn't want to tell anybody about it. I understand that if he drops out of the game, Coral would have to forfeit, but at this rate, he's going to end up in much, much more serious trouble. They're both being stubborn.

Did anybody see the commercial for Y&R on SoapNet?

Yikes. Usually, I'd say it's just an editing scheme, but I think Coral and Evan might be donezo.

I dont think Evan wants anyone to see him as weak

I love that Wes' plan backfired on him. I was not minding him there till this happened. I was so hoping that Kenny and Tina won the pardon and sent his ass in. Im glad that Tina and Kenny are back from exile bc I like their team.

Oh I hate the pardon challenge bc none of the exiled teams ever win it. It would have been a better twist had it been used but if these teams are in there bc they suck at challenges, giving them another challenge isnt going to help them. The producers should have thought of this and made it possibly more mental than physical or something different

I agree, Cheap. Mental challenges are definitely missing this season and I think that'd some of the teams some real good.

As if I needed more reason to love Kenny...I swear, that guy is just amazing to look at. And that voice! It's all Italian thuggish, but damn! I'm willing to be "okay" with Tina again because she impressed me with her knowledge of the exile puzzles. Wes and Casey's strategy is so FRICKEN STUPID, the whole "the prize isn't going to be worth it" thing. And I love that Kenny got mean with Tina while they were doing it, but you could tell that it was only a "get the !@#$%^&*] mad so she can work harder" kind of thing.

It shall be interesting to see how things go from now on. There are now seven teams left and only four of the seven have won a mission (C/E-5, T/C-2, S/L-2, D/A-1). Tina/Kenny, Derrick/Diem, and Wes/Casey need to step it on up if they want to be there at the end. Wes and Casey are most likely going into the next exile, but with who?

Coral and Evan's injuries are just...I don't know what to say. I can't feel anything for Evan because he's keeping his hernia a secret and is obviously staying for the money. Coral, on the other hand, always has me on her side. Was she crying when they were going to the hospital? Because if Coral cries...well then I'm just a big sobbing mess too.
