S32.E12: Bad Blood No More

[OnceSane]

Quote

The roommates enjoy their final days in the house and hope to end things on a positive note; Katrina and Anna stand up to Peter.

So..no one watched? LOL

Such a sad ending to a sad season. All that drama about leaving the house and it was the last dang show. Jen, you really need to stay away from Peter. He's crazy and psychotic and you don't need that in your life.

Theo gets sent home and Kass basically disappears. I forgot he was even on the show until the fight. Will was another non-factor. The whole premise of this season and it was a dud, outside of Kass and Theo.

Did I read that Jenn is still with that psycho Peter?? Jenn, sweetie?  If treats you like this while you're just dating?  Once you marry him and he considers you his property, you can kiss any semblance of happiness goodbye. He is a manipulative PRICK with cameras right up in his face.  Then he denies the allegations the Real World employee was reading to him as to why he had to leave.  I love the editors that showed clips every time Peter denied any wrong doing. So on top of everything else, he's a freaking liar as well. What a prize!! /sarcasm

The producers clearly hated Peter too. That man is the worst. Him and Mike are two peas in a pod. You can tell by that phone conversation alone. Hopefully Jenn doesn't take too long to wise up. Her family should be appalled by this man now.

By the end I was like everyone get out. No one learned anything. They just got a vacation. Step your casting game up next season and don't let the secret guests stay there all season if you insist on continuing the stunts.

Once she marries him?  He's already pulling that shit with the "you're my girlfriend" & "if you loved me, you'd leave" shit.  I liked her refusing to leave, but if they are still together she's an idiot.  I'd tell her to run, but shed probably run right back to him instead of the opposite direction as she should.  And classy Mike--no wonder he and Peter are friends despite any "bad blood".

That being said, why did the sister (can't keep them straight and don't care enough to try) get involved?  It felt like she wanted her turn to yell at Peter rather than standing up for Jenn or explaining the situation.

Kassius & Will were some non-muthafucking factors this season.  All Kassius did was help Theo leave and whine about having no money.  Did Will do anything?  Next season needs to not have a hundred people in the house--too many we're lost in the shuffle or hidden by the drama from Peter and the sisters.

Wow, that was an uncomfortable episode to watch. Right up there with the racist Jenna episodes from last season.

This episode could be used in domestic violence classes to show an example of how the controlling part of abuse starts.

He already considers her his property, he made that extremely obvious. Sadly, she just sees that as showing how much he cares about her.

Blows my mind she stayed with him after all that.

What a forgettable season overall. I honestly can't remember half the names and none of them were very likable (really, I only cared for Theo). And the sisters have voices that I would rather sit in a room full of screaming babies, scratching their nails on chalkboards, than actually listen to another second.

When I was younger (and considerably dumber), I made the mistake of marrying an abusive boyfriend.  Believe me, it was MONUMENTALLY worse once I married him. Speaking from experience, that was the point I was trying (and failing I guess), to make.

Anna. Hands down, the worst glottal fry I've ever heard. I can't think of any profession in which her voice would be an asset.

Torturing terrorists.

Yeah the only ones who really had strong feelings against each other were Theo and Kass.

Well Tyara didn't like her rival but she was just weird.

In the end they hug it out but only a few of them will bother to keep in touch.  You can tell the rest of the group didn't like the sisters, who set themselves apart and mostly did their own thing.

Peter calling Anna out on the fake tits while the girls were mocking Katrina for abusing that pillow was kind of funny.

Otherwise, what was so great about the "experience" that they'd pack themselves in dormitory style?  When the rivals found out what was happening, a lot of them expressed wariness but I guess all those misgivings gave way to a chance to be on camera.  They didn't have a cool job, they did very little exploring of Seattle.  They mostly went to clubs that the producers arranged for them or stayed home.

They could have done that anywhere but they want to be recognized for having been on TV?  And maybe get to do some Challenges?

Was there any way this steaming pile of a season could have been saved? I have one fantasy: Pete is in the van, texting Jenn. "You are killing me," he writes. "I am a fucking wreck right now." He looks up and notices that the driver has vacated the vehicle. Fade to black.

I figured that Kyle and Jason from Survivor were the epitome of toxic. Now, I'm thinking Pete and Mike deserve each other. Ugly motherfuckers. Since I haven't heard shit about projects featuring Dionne, a spinoff with those two assholes is off the table. Maybe a new dating show? Are You Seriously Going To Let Either Of Those Assholes Touch You? I think it has a nice ring to it.

Everybody on this season was either an asshole or invisible. Was there anybody that you would watch to come back? I'm thinking Robbie, but he's basically Larger Jay. He'd probably gas out and piss off TJ.

If there was any justice, this would be the final season. So I guess we'll be meeting back here in 6-8 months.

Late ETA: Jason and Scot from Survivor. Kyle Jason is fatboy's full name. And Pete probably still sucks.

It makes me sick that jenn is still with peter. I wonder how many of her friends and family he currently hates and refuses to let her speak to.

What friends? I am sure Peter has informed her that HE is the only friend she needs now...

The thing that confuddles me about these abusive relationships in general, is that, there isn't even any redeeming thing about Peter. Like, he's not even nice to look at or charming. He can't control his emotions, he doesn't have a career, he has nothing going for him. It doesn't even seem like he's super nice and complimentary before he switches back to raging manipulative asshole, so there's not even any rationalization that usually he's a good person. How does someone look at him and think, "yeah, he's worth putting up with, even if I fear for my own safety, he puts me down, makes me feel like a horrible person, doesn't let me live my own life", etc. Jenn, surely in a world with SOOOOO many other dudes available, you could find someone better? How little do you have to think of yourself to stay with that dude? 

It makes me feel frustrated that other women put up with this kind of behavior :( 

[MissMel]

In the actual real world, I'd agree with you.  But this is the Mtv real world and...

Money.  Opportunity.  The big ticket is The Challenge if you get noticed on these 'lesser' shows.

<Johnny [Bananas] on the last one…I want to say he got like $60k to show up!”

Evan also stated that frequent ‘Challenge’ contestant Nany Gonzalez has told him that she “gets like a year’s salary just to get on the plane [to do a Challenge] now.”>

You're burying the lead from that link.

Dunbar did a porn and now is a conservative Republican writing children's books.

And Evan and Kenny say the people on the show now are "lowlifes."

Pretty funny.
