The Ruins: Episode #8 - "Thai Me Up! Thai Me Down!" Recap/Review

This week, The Ruins, just overall sucked. I totally wasn't feeling a Cohutta-less episode for starters, plus the added anticipation of being spoiled and knowing that two people were going to be sent home for fighting - you'd think that would be exciting but considering I knew who it was, it just was sad.


Let me start off by stating the following: Casey fails at life, KellyAnne is a sloppy drunk, and I miss the old Kenny.

Back in the day, Kenny used to not be such a douchebag. He used to be a pretty decent guy and I remember the time he even voted himself into the Freshmeat elimination round because everyone else already had and he figured "why vote for someone else and piss them off when we're already going in". I liked him when he was hanging out with Evan and they would do their "Suck yeah" comments and such, but then they threw Johnny D-Bag Bananas into the mix and just ruined him - seriously ruined him. Johnny Bananas is a disgusting man and I don't even understand how anyone can like him. He's worthless and just not a nice guy. A lot of people like to say he's just putting on this douche attitude but why on earth would you want to make yourself dispicable? If that's his goal, he's stupid for setting it and is accomplishing it quite well.

It was tough for me to watch Brad be a drunken lunatic because although Brad went through his wild stage back on his original season of the Real World, since then he's grown up a lot and really matured as a person. I can completely understand where Brad was coming from because Casey is a worthless tool who has no business going on a challenge when she is afraid of her own shadow. I bet if the challenge was to sleep with the lights off, she would wuss out. She seriously is a waste of space and not worth the producer's time even. She should just quit and go back to getting plastic surgery and annoying people off of the television.

KellyAnne was just a complete drunken mess. I didn't understand where that was coming from at all and they don't show you every single thing that happens so I guess that would help. But she was going off on Dunbar and while I think he is probably one of the world's most boring guys, did not deserve her drunken belittlement. Brad had every right to tell her to chill out and she is a pretty girl but not when she's a drunken wreck. Not cute at all. I feel bad for Wes if he has to put up with this in their real life. I don't see that lasting - he's too mature for that shit.

I think it was hilarious that even though Brad was egging him on and the one drunk, Darrell was the one who acted first during that fight. He threw the first punch and he is such a douche and a stupid one for doing it because he was the richest player and had a free ride to the finals where he would clearly have made out like a bandit. But no, he threw it all away and lost his own money, but sent Brad packing as well for initiating it all. If dumbass Darrell would have just sat the hell down and kept his mouth shut and ignored Brad, who was clearly inebriated beyond belief, they both would still be there. Stupid.

I also found it quite amusing that Bozo Bananas tried to get Kenny into the Ruins when he was clearly the one going to go in. At least Derrick helped state his opinion and Kenny didn't have to go in. While I don't like Kenny's attitude, I blame it on Banana Brain and hold him responsible for all fuckery amongst that team and the members. I really hope Dunbar sends that Bag O' Bananas home.

As for the girls, I don't like Kim or Susie so I don't really care.
