LOSER’S CIRCLE – Vinny Foti Causes a Wardrobe Malfunction on Battle of the Exes

Indecent exposure is never a good thing. It’s not even funny. On The Challenge: Battle of the Exes, Vinny Foti exposed a fellow contestant’s boob in a public nightclub and brushed it off as a joke. Producers were not laughing, and they pulled Vinny from the game. For crossing a forbidden boundary and expressing a careless attitude about it, he has been inducted into the LOSER’S CIRCLE.

The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2 – Episode 1 Recap

FUCK YOU, JOHNNY BANANAS! How come you keep showing up here?

We already understand. You want to be the guy that achieves every Challenge record. We know you’re an athlete. Try to actually play like one and no other type. Your strategies are decent, but we do not need to see that on every Challenge you do. And what’s this? A sequel to Battle of the Exes, which you won three years ago?

I’m getting tired of this, you guys. I’m at the point where I’m starting to run out of material! Do you guys really want to see me rant about a bad Challenge with Johnny Bananas, after I covered all the other bad Challenges with Johnny Bananas? What should I do to get Johnny Bananas off my back? Does he want me to pretend to praise him? Or at least rant about another cast member? Who else is on this season? Give me up to four people that I can talk about!

Say hello to our new whipping boys!

So yeah, this is not a joke. Four cast members from the first season of MTV’s Are You the One? are appearing as contestants on The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2. FOUR CAST MEMBERS THAT DID NOT APPEAR ON THE REAL WORLD OR ROAD RULES OR THE FRESH MEAT SEASONS OR ANY OTHER BUNIM/MURRAY SHOW ARE ON A SHOW, COMPETING AGAINST JOHNNY BANANAS! Unless this is a new crossover that MTV put together, this is not good news. This is like Flavor Flav getting chosen for The Bachelor. Or Bret Michaels competing on The Voice. Or a Big Brother winner competing on Survivor… okay, that was pretty good. But you get my point. This goes against everything the Challenge stood for, and we’re talking about a show that was originally titled “The Real World/Road Rules Challenge”! SHAME ON YOU, BUNIM/MURRAY! SHAME ON YOU!

So let’s take a look at the first episode of… “The Challenge”: Battle of the Exes 2.

The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2 – TRAILER

Here you go, guys. The first trailer for The Challenge: Battle of the Exes 2 premiered last night after the season premiere of The Real World: Skeletons. This is the 26th season of The Challenge, and it will be significant for having posthumous appearances from 2 cast members: Diem Brown and Ryan Knight. Both of them passed away last month after production wrapped on the season. Battle of the Exes 2 premieres on January 6th, and we’ll definitely be covering it. Of course, we’ll be up to our old jokes during the recaps. IT HAS JOHNNY BANANAS AND 4 CAST MEMBERS FROM ARE YOU THE ONE? ON THERE. WE CAN’T AVOID THAT! But we’ll dedicate the first recap in Diem and Knight’s memories.

Rest in Peace, Diem Brown

We’ve been gearing up for the recap of Battle of the Seasons 2012, which goes up tomorrow on the site. We never anticipated that The Challenge Month was going to take this turn. It has been announced that Diem Brown, a very big Challenge all-star, has passed away this morning from colon cancer. At the age of 32, she loses a cancer battle that has haunted her for the past 8 years and even followed her into her first Challenge appearance in 2006’s Fresh Meat.

Our thoughts go out to her family and friends.

The Challenge: Battle of the Exes Recap

Seeing that we’re in the midst of THE CHALLENGE MONTH, I’m going to demonstrate how the producers create a new season.

In 2012, The Challenge followed up Rivals with Battle of the Exes, a concept that’s almost the same as Rivals, except with ex-couples. With that kind of twist, you’re bound to get a lot of drama! So, let’s mend these broken hearts. This is The Challenge: Battle of the Exes.

THE CHALLENGE MONTH
