The Ruins: Episode #7 - "Silence of the Ruins" Review/Recap

While I still have not had a chance to watch this week's ANTM episode or Glee, I did manage to catch the second airing of The Ruins. I don't have a whole hell of a lot to say about the overall happenings on the show but I do have a few tidbits to share about a few people in particular.

First of all can I just say how deeply saddened and distraught I am that Cohutta is no longer there? I seriously have fallen head over heels for this southern boy. As I've previously mentioned, I absolutely love listening to Cohutta talk and now that he has been eliminated, getting through each upcoming episode without hearing his accent, is going to be hell. I exaggerate obviously but still... his quirky comments and deep southern accent really made the show a lot more pleasurable from a female standpoint!

Cohutt was doing so well in this challenge. He'd beaten two very tough competitors as well as doing a good job during the challenges despite the fact that the Challengers ultimately suck and lose practically everything. I really had psyched myself out by reading some spoilers and reading them incorrectly. I had thought that Syrus beat Cohutta so I was expecting him to go home last week, so when he didn't I was super stoked and then this week I didn't expect and it really was a bummer. Partially because I don't really care for Darrell or his attitude this season and then also, of course, for the fact that Cohutta is amazing [I sound fangirlish right? Oh well]. This Ruins was really difficult though and I am not too surprised that Cohutta couldn't pull out a win. After all, Darrell is a personal trainer so pull-ups, sit-ups, crunches and all that shit is right up his alley and little Cohutta, while a scrapper, just didn't have the edge or advantage last night. I almost cried.

Moving on...

I went through a stage where I absolutely couldn't stand Sarah but I really do like her. I liked her prior to the whole Katie thing, and she's probably the only girl I really like that is left. I absolutely cannot stand Susie, and I am sure as hell, glad that Johanna finally went home. Sarah deserved and wanted that win and after all the bitchiness Johanna exuded this season, it was just like her to wuss out and pull the cord. As she pointed out, she had mentally checked out of the game prior to the Ruins actually taking place, so it wasn't as if she had the willpower and determination to win anyway. She clearly fails.

Casey is a big waste of blonde hair and silicone. I was so glad at the end of the episode when Brad finally went off on her ass because he is 100% right. She doesn't give the challenges her all, she whines like she's 2-years-old or something, she does smoke and drink all the time and takes this all as if it's a big party when yeah, it's a game on a reality tv show but at the same time, it is a competition with a lot of money at stake. Brad is a pretty mature guy and is planning to be married soon and he could use this money - it's a big deal to him. If she wants to come to party and whore around, I hope at least next time they put her on a different team. This Champions vs. Challengers thing is really fucked up. It should be Real Players vs. Sucky Bitches or something. There is a clear division.

I am still completely disgusted by the Banana Boat alliance and really there's not much more I can say about that that I haven't already discussed in previous reviews. I was disappointed in Sarah for being all flirtatious with Kenny during the pool scene they showed. Kind of annoyed me because I thought she was a semi-lesbian and he's a douche, and also let me reitterate... he's a douche. The whole pool scene actually pretty much infuriated me for many different reasons. I am a small town, very modest girl with a lot of morals. Some would call me prude. Ha! The whole scene with the pool and the truth or dare was just a big slutfest and a reason to act trashy, and it's not like I didn't know that this stuff goes on during the challenges etc, but I'd just prefer to keep it off of my screen. I don't really wanna see nipple biting and mooning, streaking, and Susie saying that she would, quote, "fuck Cohutta". No. Just no. Which leads me to the little smacker on the lips after her went packing at the end of the night. No. Just no, once more. Glad he left before anymore could come of that shit.

So this week coming we see some fighting going down and from what I've heard it's Brad and Darrell [which, does anyone else find it extremely funny when Kenny called him DARE-ULL, instead of DUH-RELL]. This can't be good, because they'll most likely go home. The only reason that'd be good is if it's not in vain for Brad and in the process he beats the shit out of ole DARE-ULL. Okay. I'm done. :]
