#564: Tonya Cooley (The Ruins)Ok so I promised a controversial cut and with all the Tonya discussion recently, why not (and we need a cut that at least may cause some arguements)? So a few things: on paper Tonya returning sounds cool, Tonya returning on a champions team sounds even better, Tonya returning on a team with Katie, Derrick, Syrus, Darrell, Susie, and VERONICA of all people sounds amazing, but it wasn't. A lot of things about Tonya on the Ruins SOUNDS good on paper, but her treatment, her mental state, her breakdown was just uncomfortable for me and I just wish she never did the season. I feel like she deserves a legit write-up so here goes, we see Tonya is back and we expect fireworks with former rivals on her team, but instead we see Tonya is just a mess on the first night. She eventually has to get carried to bed and helped by Evelyn and Derrick and in later episodes we see the awful treatment, like Johnny throwing make-up or some powder in her face and sh*t like that and Tonya doesn't even seem in the right frame of mind with her responses. She does beat Diem, but Diem just came for her appearance check anyway. Anyway in her final episode, she gets into it with Veronica and man this, again SOUNDS great, long-time rivals squaring off and things getting physical? But it is just awkward and not even epic, since we find out they squashed their beef and V was one of the nicer people to her on the challenge. Then, her breakdown after the fight and the bullsh*tty "aw tonya we <3333 you" is just cringe-inducing. So all in all Tonya was extremely tough to watch this season and with those sexual assault allegations, it makes things even more awkward. I doubt any other Tonya cuts will be made soon though. Wait, do we really get life shields or was that a joke? In any case, I'm with Briq in disagreeing whole-heartedly on this. Yes, everything about Tonya's Ruins appearance was sad & concerning but regardless, Tonya fueled the first half of that season. Between her troubled mental state & her alcoholism and JEK's constant mistreatment of her, Tonya was very important to this season. It was difficult to watch her in that state especially as the target of JEK's pranks, yes, but she was important to the season both in the game and in the house.

Yeah you get 3 lifeshields where you can cancel a cut, so to speak and I can't cut this person again, but you also can't use another lifeshield on the same person if someone else cuts them.

All of that was entertaining to me. She was so convinced that she would be the best player & really show folks that their ideas about her were wrong but then she just was terrible at everything. And yeah, Evan's "No Shauvy!" response when she told him that she was leaving the Challenge was really funny haha

I want a gif of when he tries to hug Shauvon and then his face when she tells him no. But Shauvon is stupid and was worthless on Duel 2 except for making Diem and CT fight AND CT and Landon would have been the final two if she hadn't of been on that season so she can smdrq

Whenever I think of Duel 2 Shauvon, I think of her hilarious elimination round, wanting a hug from people after Aneesa annihilating her, and Kimberly's "she's a dirty WHORE" comment about her at the reunion. I thought these were all good moments and she added to a fairly boring season. I'm kinda surprised FA Jasmine is still left.

"I want to be the whore of the challenge" *vomits everywhere* That statement was shocking & funny. I just felt bad for her on FA. She's so tiny & Laurel is so big & strong. She started crying when she was matched with Laurel because she knew she had no shot.

#562 - Jeremy Blossom (Gauntlet 2)
I think he said two words on the entire season? And considering the fact that he actually made it pretty far in the season... his impact was minimal.
