WWE Superstar Mike "The Miz" Mizanin Hosts the Second Installment of MTV's "The Challenge" Special "Champs vs. Stars" Premiering November 21 I only recognize three of the "stars" and MTV must have a different definition of champ than I do.

Is she worthy of a great guy though? She's a 33-year-old woman who has never worked a regular job a day in her life, is prone to violent outbursts and is more than likely a functioning alcoholic! I tip my hat to any man who would be willing to put up with that hot mess over any period of time! I've noticed cable networks' standards and practices have become more lax. I was surprised when I heard the word bullshit uttered by one of the teens on The Fosters on what was formerly the ABC Family channel.

This show thinks they're slick! They'll produce one new segment and intersperse it with a whole bunch off old-ass segments and pass it off as a new episode. Ain't nobody got time for that, John Quiñones!

Yup.. and I'm sorry but I have to laugh at the notion that Cody is going to become enlightened under Jessica's guidance. The girl who called women of color by the name of past contestants who shared their same race tells me she has her own implicit biases she needs to address and work on.

Of course the producers know how the vote turns out before the big reveal and I can't believe people would even question that. This is a television show, first and foremost, and their first priority will always be to make good tv, and what's better than wringing out the suspense in a 5-4 vote. Plus, Julie confirmed as much in an interview yesterday (I watched a lot of interviews yesterday so I don't remember which interview specifically). The jurors get two keys in their pouch and then return the unused key to the producers, which is how they determine who won before the votes are revealed. Also, Julie will read out the votes that will lead to the most suspense. It just so happened that revealing the votes backwards in terms of elimination these past couple of seasons yielded the suspense they wanted. However, season 6 is my favorite season ever so I remember quite vividly that the vote for the winner came down to Howie. He was neither the first juror or the last so obviously the producers knew beforehand how the vote turned out and knew having Howie's key pulled last would create the most suspense and entertainment.

I was telling my sister the same exact thing earlier! She was really nailing Raven, but asked the questions in an earnestly curious way, so that Raven couldn't even tell she was being grilled! I also noticed she didn't interview Alex and Christmas and left those to her partner instead. I know she's expressed her distaste for them in the past so I'm hoping she couldn't fake being pleasant to them and said "fuck it!" Speaking of fake pleasantries, I wonder if CBS orders "the press" to be nice to these people. I've noticed some will be interviewing Josh and go "OMG! I'm so glad you won!" and then one minute later interview Paul and go "aww you were so robbed!" Stop with two-faced shit! I want all these people called out! As much as I loved Rob's snarky questioning to Raven that totally went over her head, I wish he could've called her out on her lies and inconsistencies straight up, but I suspect CBS exhorts these interviewers to play nice or else!

But do they? My friends only watch the broadcast shows and never bother voting because their attention is solely on the broadcast shows. Conceivably, the casual viewers outnumber the hardcore fans, but I feel like it is the hardcore fans who are doing the most voting. Who is more likely to submit 20 votes a day: the person who watches the show and follows the feeds all day or the person who watches the show as a mindless distraction 3x a week?

I think credit should be given to the broadcast edits. My friends, who don't watch or follow the live feeds, think Christmas is a bad ass bitch who deserves to win for having her own mind. Um, okay....

Where did it all go wrong between Kevin and Christmas? Wasn't he ready to dump his wife of 30 years for a chance to screw Christmas in the jury house? ETA: I'm asking genuinely, not being snarky. They were quite close just a few weeks ago.

Shaunie O'Neal Reveals Who's In And Who's Out For New Season Of 'Basketball Wives' Interestingly, Shaunie reveals that the fight between her and Malaysia wasn't really about her substance comment but with an issue Malaysia had with production. I'm betting Malaysia was pissed off at the fact that they have a producer as part of the cast, which totally throws off the power dynamics and I would have to agree if that is the case. It would be like having Mona Scott Young on Love & Hip Hop. While I know Shaunie doesn't have as much leverage on this show as Mona does on L&HH, the power imbalance still exists between herself and the rest of the ladies on the show.

Yeah and Elena told the Hollywood Reporter she would hate to have Christmas make final 2, so that's one jury vote lost. And with how whooped Mark is by her, maybe 2? I don't want to toot my own horn but I called it in the media thread that this would be a retread of season 16. If Paul weren't in there, these lemmings would've found someone else to blindly follow. It was obvious from their pre-show interviews. Maybe this was Allison Grodner's dastardly plan all along to correct the "injustice" of Paul losing last year. I haven't been posting much this year because this season is seriously boring. Hopefully the producers don't look to the ratings as an indicator. Season 12 was high rated too but is anyone putting that season in their top 5?

I guess I'm gonna be the lone wolf up in this motha but I enjoy what Jackie brings to this show. She's a crazy ass bitch, possibly pathologically delusional, but I don't think she's malicious. When she gets into beef on this show, it is usually from a defensive position rather an offensive position. I'm sorry but I can't stand Evelyn and never have. I think it's interesting that her go-to insult is about people's fashion. Has this chick progressed from the 9th grade? She pulled the same shit on Royce back in the day and she's still talking about people looking like a bum. Well, instead of spending all your reality show checks on designer labels, why don't you buy your mom a house so she's not living in a small ass apartment in the Bronx? I can't stand Tami most times but I agree with her position in this little battle. Evelyn threw the first salvo by yelling that Jackie should take of her grandchildren. The blogs have been buzzing for years about how Evelyn's daughter is following in her mama's footsteps to snag a rich athlete. And now we gotta deal with fake ass Jennifer Williams? Who's next, Suzie? Basketball Wives Miami was in the past. Why are they trying to recreate that dynamic now?

Lauren Conrad And William Tell Welcome First Child Congrats to the happy couple. I've always liked her. Maybe it's just me but I think her husband looks like her father.

Yeah, I definitely think Pao Pao is Alex in reference to season 16 contestant Pao Pao. Funny, I've been referring to her the same way because I immediately noticed the resemblance. I'm so disappointed Megan self-evicted. I was rooting for you, girl! I really hope she didn't make up this racist allegation because that is way low and beyond the bounds of a game. I just tuned in for the first time and had to tune out. Elena and Jessica's vocal fry rivals the Kardashians in ear-splitting annoyingness and they're already mean-girling and acting like they run shit.

Big Brother reveals first group photo of season 19 cast One person has been so poorly photo-shopped in, it's hysterical. I guess we know who leaves first.

Go Inside the 'Big Brother' Control Room as Producers Reveal Season 19 Secrets I'm getting excited now! It isn't officially summer til Big Brother premieres!

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted. The Hollywood Reporter caught up with 12 former players to get their predictions on the new season. This was obviously done before the new houseguests were revealed but it's an entertaining read and Elissa's anecdote about Amanda alone makes the whole damn thing worth it. And of course Paulie proves once again he's the biggest asshole with absolutely no self-awareness with his jab at his cast mates. There's also a video interview of the winner of BBOTT and Jason, where he reveals he moved to L.A. Now, I didn't watch BBOTT (I'm such a bad fan) but weren't the final 2 winnings quite significantly lower than a "regular" season? L.A. is much more expensive than living in your parents' basement, so I hope he's managing his money wisely. Admittedly, I love Vanessa so I may be biased, but this season could stand to use a few Vanessas. Most of the women answered that they'd rather lose and be loved and a few want to team with strong men because "omg girls are so catty!!" I'm getting a major season 16 vibe where the girls are just going to go along to get along and let the males dominate the game. I hope I'm wrong. For now, I'm tentatively rooting for the silver-haired chick because she wants to play a ruthless game and stab everyone in the back. Let's hope she's not all bluster! As for "den of temptation," the name is reminiscent of those tawdry dating shows FOX used to air back in the day and I would eat up every summer. I know "The Bachelor" is hot right now, but please BB, don't turn my favorite show into a Bachelor knockoff. These people seem way too eager to enter a showmance and the producers are pushing that angle way too hard. Blech!

Most Accomplished ‘Real World’ Cast Members on Its 25th Anniversary In case you're as dumb as I am, they list the cast members in the video and not in the actual article. I swear, I confusedly scrolling up and down for 5 minutes looking for the damn list. They only list 5 members but that pretty much covers it, doesn't it?

Wow! I just read Spedi is producing a spawn. They still don't have jobs and are still living in Spencer's father's beach house. Good luck to that baby!

MTV was showing previews for this Champs vs. Pros challenge during the movie awards last night. They were brief but I could make out Johnny (of course), CT and Camila.

I'm with you guys. CT has always been able to put on the charm since his "Paris" days and then act like a raving lunatic at the smallest provocation. Sometimes I find myself being drawn in and then I have to remind myself that he's likely a sociopath. Is this not the longest season ever?! And now I read the finale is a two-parter. MTV really is dragging this crap out.

Confessions of a Reality TV Felon. The article includes quotes from Adam, his S9 partner Sheila and fellow castmate and co-conspirator, Matt. It's an interesting read!

Jenelle and Kail bring the drama so MTV loves them. This is a warning shot to Chelsea. Girl, you better bring the drama for season 8!

Big Brother 19 has 2hr premiere on Wednesday, June 28.

Ray Liotta was shitfaced and his face looked swollen as hell. Is he an alkie?
