"I think I popped my implant."

“I THINK I POPPED MY IMPLANT.”

Seriously, people do I need to tell you anything beyond that quote to make you watch “Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Ruins?” I mean, just look:

RW/RR Challenge: The Ruins - MTV Shows

Right? There are only two disappointing things in watching this trailer — that CT’s not on the show so we don’t get to see him kicked off yet again for being a neanderthal, and that we won’t have the hysterically, ridiculous opening that last season had. Nevertheless, I’ll be watching the new season, which drops on MTV tonight at 10 p.m. (though I usually watch it at work the next day via the MTV website - their online video setup is pretty decent).

I know what you’re saying: “It’s the same thing every season. A bunch of self-centered yahoos getting drunk, hooking up, doing stupid competitions, and making me feel old.” …Yeah, and what’s your point? That’s why it’s fucking awesome. Someone told me they were embarrassed for me, regarding my unnatural love for this show. Well fuck that noise. “The Challenge” is one of the most consistently entertaining reality shows on TV these days, and the only thing worth a fuck watching on MTV. You disagree? Then this is where we part ways. Good day.

I said good day!

Hey, like whatever you want, dude, I don't judge. People find my taste in movies questionable but that doesn't stop me from watching them.

Still, the trailer lost me when they showed people eating...roaches?...or something, as I don't find people puking to be great entertainment, and I sure as hell can't stand watching a bunch of supposed grown-ups whining about their relationships like high schoolers.

Best guilty pleasure EVER. When I lived at home my sister and I would have Wednesday night viewing parties where we would actively root for Katie or Coral or both to beat the crap out of a contestant.

Swear on all things, it wasn't until the third time you wrote that quote that I realized it said "popped". I was very curious as to which implant would - nay, could - have been pooped...

I was unaware that the new season starts tonight.
Excuse me . . .
*sound of tires squealing*

High five, Seth. This show is so much dumb fun.

Julie, I love Coral. Where else do you get quotes like, “I don’t wrestle, I fucking beat bitches up.”, and, “She’ll go home in a gurney…. I’ll go home in hand cuffs.”?

The only thing that show lacks is a loaded gun.

Like the show all you want. But next time you are wondering why there is nothing but shit on TV, look at yourself. As long as you will watch whatever wretched crap they shit out, they will keep shoveling the Dulcolax down their throats and washing it down with Metamucil. Fuck that, there isn't even any fiber in this kind of programming.

Accidentally flipping onto channels with this kind of crap makes me think Two and a half men is oscar worthy.

No. Just...no. These douchebags kill brain cells, and I can't afford to lose very many more.

I am not sold. And I am still embarrassed for you.

Ohoooo, that was a gooooood slap!

And I think the boob-popping dimbo is that heinous bitch from the RW Sydney - Chauvon? Guess it's karma for being such a twinkle tit.

I will be watching this.

Okay, so can we finally admit why this show is so addictive and awesome? Because it's fucking grown-up Double Dare, and now is approaching Nickelodeon GUTS. You remember GUTS, don't you? Well this "Ruins" bullshit is bringing back memories of the Agro Crag. That's right, I said it. I'll say it again. Agro Crag. Later the Mega Crag, and finally, the Super Agro Crag. So let's get that little Mtv weasel out of there and put in Marc Fucking Summers to make this official. The Road Rules team chooses the physical challenge, Marc. You're damn right they do.

Not sure how many of you follow sports, but Bill Simmons is a writer on ESPN and follows this Real World shit like no one's business. He even did a podcast where he and two friends had a MOCK FANTASY DRAFT of Ruins contestants, where the contestants get points for hooking up/fighting/winning challenges/passing out/throwing up/dumbfuckery/etc. I've never watched the show, but it is hilarious to hear them compare picking masochistic assholes who get in fights over tatooed sluts who fuck anything that walks.
