The Goodbye Girl….
Posted on: 05.09.2007
So I know that many cast members say that they are done, that they are finished with the show and will likely never return. Unfortunately (for some of you) I am serious. I have said all along that this is my swan song and what better way to go out than with a win. I needed this so badly as I have many student loans and a car sitting on four flat tires (I?m not joking). I stepped up and went to the pit as many have before me and I am so glad that I did. Many of you send messages of hate and I am so glad that my fate was tested and I had the opportunity to overcome. Your thoughts of how I played this game are much appreciated; however, like I have said for ages, things are not always what they seem. I am sad to say goodbye to all of you: your messages of hate and admiration have affected me in ways you will never understand. I remember finishing my original season and thinking that there was no way on earth anyone would remember who I was. Boy, was I wrong. I guess I didn?t realize the influence and how popular the show really was. I am so thankful to my cast (of past and present) for they have taught me more of who I am. I have often felt like the goodbye girl in my life. I have said my goodbyes to so many people and it becomes even more depressing each and every time; now I am saying goodbye to all of you.
To the Tubesscans and Speakrealitys of the world, the real world road rules blogs and everything in between, I am no longer affected by what is true (or false). **I would also like to send a heartfelt hello to ?Mikeey? who has consistently been on my side, despite the odds (and my edit). To all of you who show up at the launch and reunion specials, who send Christmas presents and birthday wishes (Stephan and friends)?.thank you. You have no idea your influence...
The thought of my cast (and crew) makes me sad in ways no one will understand. I have grown up with this show, I have learned of my mistakes and my strengths by watching a different perspective of myself and for that, I am forever indebted. I have found the love of my life because of this experience and for that alone, I owe someone my everything. I have so much and so little to say at the same time, I am sad and happy all at once. Thank you for your comments and your commitment to shows of the past and present. I have been affected by all you viewers in ways you will never understand. I am sad to say my goodbyes and I want to send a formal thank you to each one of you; whether you hate me (or the show) I appreciate what you have given me...
I?ll miss my Road Rules cast so much. I thank each and every one of them for all that they have given me... I have had the best times this season and I could not be happier that I signed up for this show, my life has been changed, once again... Goodbye to them, and all of you...
All my love, |

The stuff has hit the fan...
Posted on: 05.02.2007
I would like to first start off by saying that if it came to performance
this week then, given the points scored by our judges, I would be going
into the pit. Tori had originally said that she didn't want to
volunteer and would rather have left it up to a vote and I had agreed.
Sitting down to deliberation, you can imagine my surprise when she
decided to volunteer herself. I am still not sure why and I was
certainly shocked but my concern as of now is that she comes back. I
hate that this has to happen and I absolutely hate that we lost. We are
each so strong and have had our good days and bad. Unfortunately, mine
came on the week before the final mission. Call me selfish or crazy but
I made a decision to leave it up to a vote and not to volunteer myself.
We have all done our part in this competition and the truth of the
matter is that none of us deserve to go in. David and Derek had a raw
deal and I am sorry that they got the unlucky end of a well-designed
game. We didn't make the game, we're just playing it. Susie really
couldn't have said that better. I love Tori with every inch of me and
I do not want to win without her or Adam. With that said, I understand
that Adam is likely upset with me because I casted a vote that was
against my word. For that alone I am sorry, however, my main concern is
getting Tori back and that simply could not have happened by competing
with David or Derek. David is using scare tactics and threats and I am
not willing to risk him throwing the pit and inevitably sending Tori
home. Derek is injured and would likely be disqualified if he were to
compete in the pit. Adam and Tori are great friends of mine, I know
that Adam is more physically strong than Derek at this point, and more
mentally strong than David and that is why I voted the way that I did.
Things are coming to an end and I am more emotionally exhausted
than ever... I don't even know what to say. The truth is, pit or no
pit, this game is so difficult, especially when your playing with
people you care about. I cannot make everyone happy in my voting and I
am sorry that I disappointed Adam, however, I do not regret my decision
because Tori needs him more than ever and I just know that he will come
through. I can only hope that he understands where I am coming from.
Tori and Adam are truly unstoppable and I pray for whomever faces them in
the pit. Things just wouldn't be the same without them. I am sure that
my perspective is difficult to understand but I really don't care. I
followed my heart and was true to myself, despite disappointing a great
friend. This is Adam's chance to be a hero and I have no doubt that he
will prove himself.
David has learned to play the game from the four of us. I
understand his threats and I really was not willing to put any faith in
him as a man or a competitor because I do not trust him. Things are
not always what they seem, despite what people say. David is playing a
game very well and is the epitome of a self-confessed victim. I sympathize with both Derek and David and their roles within this game,
however, I do not believe that David is quite as stupid as he comes
off....
I know that Tori and Adam will not lose. There is no doubt in
my mind that I will pick them up after their pit. They are loved and
supported and my entire experience would be cheapened if they were not
beside me in the final mission... We have come so far and it has been a
long, turbulent ride but no matter your opinion on how this game is
played, I can promise that you will see both Adam and Tori at the
final mission... Until then, remember to keep voting. I will see you
guys at the end...
Love,
Kina

I HATE LOSING!
Posted on: 04.25.2007
I am so over us losing when we do everything required of us.... We did
the entire freaking mission; we crawled through stuff, ate bugs and
completed all of our events, so why on earth were we required to do an
anagram?! I absolutely hate it and it's not the first time this has
happened. The mission was harder than anything I have ever had to do.
It's funny but missions like this require no physical or strenuous
activity yet I found myself struggling to find the personal strength. I
am pretty embarrassed that I went through that entire maggot eating for
NOTHING! It infuriates me.
We had a really exciting week despite our loss. David is my new
favorite and yes I know, then why vote him in the pit. As a group,
including David and Derek, we each understand that this is a game and
considering the system is designed for this type of play; why is
everyone complaining? Veronica kills me; I find it so humorous that the
'inventor' of this game now has some sort of enlightened, compassionate
view. I can't help but wonder if that's a strategy in and of itself,
considering she is sitting in the pit crew. It's so funny to me, this
is a game and I don't care what you say on your blog if you were here,
you'd do the same thing. The rest of the pit crew I just feel bad for,
Veronica is right when she says that they got a crummy deal as Susie is
also correct in claiming 'didn't create the game, she's just playing
it.' The truth is, it depends on who you side with, every side has a
valid point but there is not just one perspective in this game. In the
same way that you hold strong to your theories, I do as well, so I guess
we're all at a standstill.
I am sick of hearing about how crummy we are and how awful we treat
David and Derek. Enough already...
David will be great in the pit, he always is. This has been the best
week on the RV so far. David's emotional outburst happened in a very
drunken state.
No man cries that hard over a game! He's a little embarrassed about it,
but I told him don't worry because no matter what he does or says he
will always look like the good guy and we'll always be the grouch.
We went to the Stone Cold premiere and David was in his glory. I begged
him to not tell Steve Austin that he has a piggy bank of Steve's head.
I prayed he wouldn't tell Stone Cold about his Steve Austin sheet set.
David is soooo embarrassing. I'm glad that he's here. He deserves it
and I hope he wins it all. We are like a family now, a very
dysfunctional family but a family at that. Hypocrites and fake, blah blah.... Please say what you will
because we have never been more content, had a better time or a better
understanding of this game then we do right now. We have two missions
left and I swear to you someone will scrape me up off the floor before I
lose...
Have a good week you guys and good luck to David who will be back just
for the promised shopping spree. That boy needs some new clothes (has
anyone ever seen him in anything but Under Armor? ...No). See you guys later!
Love,
Kina

Hi kids!
Posted on: 04.18.2007
So at the beginning of this week I was so excited because Randy came to
visit, (yay!). They would obviously never show this in the episode, of
course, but it was so great to have him come out, I have been missing
him and because things are getting so intense out here, it was so good
to finally see my boyfriend. We didn't have too much time together
before I got sicker than you could ever imagine. I am not kidding you
guys, I was in the hurt box. Toward the end of his visit, I got a
terrible sore throat and some serious flu symptoms and I knew right away
that something was wrong. So I went to urgent care crying and miserable
because I was so scared about our upcoming mission and whether or not it
would affect my performance. The doctor told me that I shouldn't compete
and that I needed to stay in bed and...Blah, blah.... Under normal
circumstances, I would advise against playing flag football with a
serious medical condition but I just didn't want to let the team down
and, to be honest, I was damn sick of losing. We needed a win so badly
and I would have bled to death before we lost. So I had the biggest,
scariest most terrifyingly large shot in the butt to help speed up my
healing process and after a night or two of rest, I finally started to
feel like myself, but it definitely wasn't easy. I was dizzy and I felt
like I was playing drunken football because of the medicine. We had
training with the Chargers and I tried so hard to keep it together but I
just felt so darn sick that the producers had me go rest for a night
away from the cast because they were worried I was contagious. Because
I had to leave the training early, I missed the drama between Ivory and
the Road Rulers. I can only imagine.....Tori and Susie said it was an
absolute must see! Ivory sure was quiet during our mission though, huh?
Ya know what's weird? These damn blogs... it's so hard to know what to
write about because we don't have any idea what the episode will
actually show (as many of you know). It's so funny because we get asked
about everything from my awful sickness to the big fight in Charger
Stadium but we never know exactly what you viewers will see, so I hope
this all doesn't seem like gibberish. Okay... onto the mission.
Everyone loves football right... after all we are in America, duh! I,
for one, was so excited, yet absolute nervous because if there's one
mission to be healthy for it's this one...
How excited was everyone to see Kristin? She is such a sweetheart and
I'm so glad that she has seen her first pit stop. I am as equally
elated that Lamonte and Angel have sat a turn because their mouths were
on my last nerve; Win a pit, do something in a mission, then come talk
to me cause I'm pretty much over everyone's mouth. We all know that I
am no NFL player but I do love me some defense. Sickness and all, it
was so much fun getting physical and aggressive with our competition.
This mission was fun and despite not knowing a whole lot about football
there comes a certain point in this game where the more athletic will
simply overcome. Out of any pit crew combination, this team was
definitely the best, they had the best shot at winning, but they really
were no match for us. It was sad seeing Shane and Dan, I sure miss them
and I hope they have a few more chances in the pit. We really are great
friends and it's hard to see them competing with our 'competition.'
So David is going into the pit and I know you all have such an opinion
about it. Well, save it. I worked my butt off sick, with a foot long
shot in the butt a day before a flag football game, puss in my throat,
unable to swallow and I still did my job, yet David has the nerve to
elect me for the pit because I didn't get a touch down?? Where were
you? Um, No. I am sorry. The truth is, everyone complains about our
'bs excuses' for voting people in the pit. Well, I don't' see
much of a difference in the way that we vote and the way that David
votes. The only difference is, he puts ribbons and bows on his and he
packages it in a way that's much different from ours. We're all on the
same page; we're just singing different songs. David knew he didn't do
that great, he knew he didn't get his points the week before and that
his balls literally saved his butt, yet he still didn't step up. No
matter how we dispute the amount of times we have gone in or who
deserves to go in, each of us has stepped up, even when undeserving,
except for David. We all want to be here and no one wants to go to the
pit but I am feeling more frustrated than ever with the situation. A
game is a game, I guess... I do wish David the best of luck in the pit,
I know how much it means to him and I sympathize with his situation as
we have all been there...The truth is, no matter who's side you agree
with or what your opinion, we are all blessed and I am so thankful for
the people and the opportunities that have been given to me throughout
this experience.
I hope you guys are doing okay. I know the east coast is up in arms
and I sympathize with all of you affected by the coastal
flooding....don't worry because April showers bring May flowers. We are
away on the RV but we still know what's going on in the world and I want
to open my heart to all of those affected by the Virginia Tech
tragedies; my sincerest apologies to all of those whom I know are deeply
distraught...
My Prayers and My
Love,
Kina

David's Balls and other random thoughts....
Posted on: 04.11.2007
Hey everyone!
So another mission down and yet another freaking
loss... I was so upset, this mission was my favorite and i think we
all (despite not getting all the points) did really, really well. It
took some serious balls to do what we did especially since most of us
had never done it before. We trained the day before for hours and
hours and when it was real mission time our bodies were so sore that we
could barely walk. The missions are getting harder and harder and i
would really like to see how some of these pit-crewers would sack up
flipping a bicycle. They seem to have a lot to say about our losses
but ill tell you if we couldn't do it.. there's no way on earth that
they could've. David did his best in this mission and wound up getting
hurt, but his big butt is not meant for missions like this. He's a big
guy and i think we're right when we say he is made for the pit,
despite what the show may present, things aren't always what they seem
and it's true that David isn't necessarily the 'superhero' that they
portray (aside from the car jump, which, in all honesty, was really
good luck)....
I think it's really hard to know what's going on in the mission or anywhere else when your not here.
David ended up in the hospital and of course made a
big joke about all of it... how conveinient for him because he should
be going into the pit. He didn't do that great in the mission and it
would have only been fair to send him in. I do give him credit for
volunteering himself despite his injury. It sucks for poor Derrick
because he didn't get his points either and although he is an obvious
choice, it just sucks that he has to go right back in. And Adam was
again, the hero. He had a lot of pressure on him and landing a back
flip would have been near impossible without some serious luck. I am
sad that Susie will see another pit but i have so much confidence in
her and i promise you, she will not be giving any more gifts. So,
whomever she faces had better get ready for blood because I have never
seen her more intense or determined. I guess that's what happens when
there are only four weeks left.
This is a game. It's not a challenge but the rules
and the pits involved in this season change the 'experience'. It sucks
for the pit-crewers because this is not a true Road Rules, if it was, I
wouldn't be here. The pit would not be here and some lucky six would
be able to carry this season.. however, that's not the case. I signed
up to play a game. Thankfully, i was given a re-do. I got screwed
over and gave it away the first time around, so excuse me if i mean
business and all of my apologies to those who do not understand our
position on the RV.
The pit deliberation was between Derrick and David.
Adam was not a factor; how could he have been? When a professional BMX
biker has enough confidence in you and puts the entire mission's
success in your hands, how on earth could you go into the pit? Susie
needs someone strong and confident to compete with, David is injured
and Derrick is great in the pits. I understand that this game gets
intense and whatever arguments or issues that happen on the RV, that's
fine. But as long as Derrick can go in and pull off a win and come
back.. I am happy. It's natural for things to get hectic and I'm sure
the next month will be enough drama to last me a lifetime but it's just
the nature of the beast. I think its' important to note that this
isn't easy. The missions are not freakin' easy, the voting isn't easy;
Believe me when i tell you that this is no simple situation. I think
it's important to understand all positions in this game, if you're too
quick to judge someone else's behavior without allowing yourself to
identify with their position, well then, that's just lame.
I know Derrick and Susie will be great and I am
hoping for a big celebration when they get back. I hope you guys are
having fun with this.. Thanks so much for your many comments, I
appreciate your opinions and I'm glad that (most of you) have been much
less harsh...thank GOD! Be good, keep voting and I'll talk to you
soon!
Love,
Kina

Ok guys, this week I am only responding to nice comments.
Posted on: 04.05.2007
Its time we start giving credit where credit is due and those a-holes who write me nasty comments will be left out this week! ..F them. I appreciate all of your kind comments and I want you to know that I read all of them! Here we go..
Nevermind, I just found this one?. What a weirdo!!!
Kina I hate the way you twist your mouth to one side when you talk in interviews. I never see you doing it when your talking during the shows.It grosses me out! Are you trying to be cute cause it looks like your forceing yourself to do it. Its just So weird. Please dont w/b saying you really talk like that cause its obviouse you dont
Posted by: McKenya - Mar 27, 2007 2:30:58 PM
Your crazy?quit watching the show so intently and maybe my mouth won?t bother you! Sooooo funny!
My LORD.. it's crazy how some people will come onto this page just to talk crap to you kina! I guess i just dont understand it.. If you dont like someone why would you go onto THEIR blog, read THEIR personal thoughts and then post something rude?? Anyways I admire you sooo much Kina and i really hope you make it to the end. I LOVE all the real world/road rules shows.. I really want to be on one someday.. hopefully i will..
Posted by: casey - Mar 26, 2007 4:31:02 PM
Casey, I agree with you! It?s so strange that someone would come to my blog if they hate me?! Thank you for your thoughts, I appreciate it and good luck with the tryouts.. they are so much fun, you should definitely do it!
Kina...i've heard from multiple sources that Veronica keeps winning the popular vote, but she keeps "passing" on going to the pit. I think she's going to wait til the end of the show then jump back on the RV. I doubt the Producers will let you read this...but is this true? what do you think about it??
Posted by: Nick - Mar 23, 2007 3:57:11 PM
You heard it here first! So completely not true. Veronica signed up to do the show and if the producers call her for the pit, she is obligated to participate. Good lookin out, but the thing to remember is that some of the internet fans think they know everything.. all those fan sites.. half the time they are right and then the other half it?s incredibly wrong. Its really funny to see what they come up with because we read that stuff.. all the time.
This one?s my favorite!
Kina,
I want to say that you must be surrounded by wonderful people in your life b/c you maintain such great mental stength in all you do. I have found that being impacted by wonderful people is key to being mentally strong. Who cares about anything except what you take from this and give to other people through this. I look forward each week to the intensity that you bring (always positive) and you are mainly why I watch this show b/c I love to see your strength shine through (mentally and physically). People are intimidated by that strength, hence the negative blogs. I saw a post about girl problems being an excuse...no offense but the blogger clearly must not be old enough to have experienced this yet. Anything we do at that time is justified.

Thank you okie girl! I have a lot of people who love me and thank goodness because it would be hard to do this if that weren?t the case. I always hated the fact that strong women are always portrayed as b***hes, so it?s nice when someone sees some of who I really am! Thank you, you give me hope! Haha, byeeee!
Later guys! I?m gonna see what the rest of my road rulers are up to. I will see you all next Wednesday! Byeeeee..

My Blog...
Posted on: 04.04.2007
Hi guys...
It is so hard to believe that this is our 10th mission. Where has the
time gone? I feel so lucky to be apart of this whole experience and I
cannot imagine walking away from it all. I just want to thank all of
you for your encouragement, it really makes a difference, to all of us,
so thank you....
On to the drama....
Tori has been getting so much crap and I am tired of it. I am sick of
the pit crew versus road ruler mentality. It's so funny to me because I
read all of the pit crew blogs and they do nothing but trash us on the
RV, it cracks me up because it seems like they are all so distraught
about our voting when they are so quick to display their own allegiance
to those in the pit crew. It really confuses me. This is a game and
someone has to go in so I am not sure exactly what they want us to say
or what they want us to do. (if anyone has advice, do tell because I
thought this was about the experience and I thought it was about the
handsome reward?) I am sick to death of reading about "making Lamonte's
money... I'm sorry but I have been making money for a group of people
that have worked their asses off, and excuse me if I say that Lamonte
has been absolutely non existent in that role. Here my question pit
crew, it's week 10, you're talking a whole lot of crap and I can't help
but feel like I shouldn't trust you. Is that wrong, because given what
you have said in your own blogs it would seem like a rookie mistake to
assume your loyalty to me or to this game neither of which you know very
well. Week after week I read bull blogs from the same old pit
crew-ers and I have kept quiet, but I have had enough of the
disrespectful blogging. I understand the role of some of the pit crew
and I will not take anything away from that, however, I am not making
anyone's money and the fact that one would disrespect this situation,
the game or my role in this game, simply infuriates me. I get so
annoyed with the 'oh my god they are bad people comments' because the
truth of the matter is, is that just if the tables were turned and if
there were more pit crew members on the RV than road rulers, we would be
experiencing the same type of mentality so proving oneself doesn't seem
so weird...
Anyway, onto the mission... Once again, losing is never, ever, fun.
This was the hardest loss for all of us because we wanted it so badly.
The Desert Assassins were so much fun and they were really hoping that
we would pull thought. I am sorry that the odds were stacked against us
and we simply couldn't jump, or race, fast enough. I am sorry Derrick
had to go into the pit. I guess I just hope that the rest of the world
can understand the situation in the way that Derrick has. I appreciate
him and his role in this game. I hope that the pit crew will take a
lesson from him because so far, aside from Dan and Tori, the pit crew
has left a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe next week won't be so dramatic
and perhaps for once people will own up to the reality of the
situation... until then, thank you all again.. I know that you all have
your different opinions and I appreciate it, but remember things aren't'
always what they seem...
Thanks again,
Love,
Kina

A waxing on the farm!
Posted on: 03.28.2007
Hey you guys,
This week was weird. Our mission was great and although I was completely stressed about hanging around the turkeys who almost bit us, the rest of the animals were so much fun. Shoveling horse crap was disgusting but we got to wear cute outfits and work boots and I loved it! I was a little scared about what we were actually going to do for the mission and when I found out we?d be up to our ears in horse manure, I almost died. Why on earth would anyone want to do that? Yuck. So not only am I in horse crap but I have to manage to drive a tractor (for those of you city folk; tractors have 2 brakes, 2 sticks shifters, and a bunch of other stuff that I had never heard of). We all remember from our race car mission that I?m not the best stick shift driver but I surprised myself and didn?t kill anyone or break anything. David and I were a good pair, he is a beast of a man and did a great job of pissing me off and splashing me with horse crap. God, I was so mad at him. He?s so weird. At one point during the mission he puts the horse crap in his mouth and rubs it all over his face, I almost threw up. This mission is made for David, its disgusting just like him. I will say though he has gotten better about not being completely gross. The other day he was eating grapes and some fell on the floor, so I yelled at him and told him to pick them up which he did, but lucky for me he didn?t eat the grapes completely covered in dirt and manure just to see me vomit. Thank God we won because this farm torture would have not been worth it!
David asked me if I would wax his back. Who could say no, he literally had a carpet growing off of him. It?s funny how much pain he was in because he asked me to do it. He was cracking me up, he would say ?No, Kina, NO, not the same spot!!!? and then I?d do it again and he would want me to keep goin?. I guess once you commit to something like that you can?t just stop? Let me tell you though, he should have bought more wax because even though we went through the entire jar, his whole back now looks like a checkerboard of hair. He?s a big dumb animal, isn?t he folks?! Let David be an example to us all, shaving is much better!
(just for the record, I had no idea what I was doing, but it was fun and he asked for it)
Moving on...
I am sad about this week?s voting stuff. I freaking hate that damn pit and I hate deliberating and all the crap that comes along with it. I think we made the right decision and I?m just glad that David and Derek (who is a really nice guy and such a good athlete) were understanding and didn?t make a big fuss about the whole situation. It was really big of them and I was glad that they understood our position. It?s nice to have new faces on the RV, especially when they don?t fight and argue about non-sense.
I had lots of fun this week and its sucks that sometimes we end on a sour note. I know David will be great. I am excited to see what happens and I guess I just hope we can somehow keep everything together. I hope you guys are enjoying your Roadie experience, keep voting and I?ll talk to you soon!
Love,
Kina

I'm sorry Staff Sergeant Steve for being the worst Marine ever!
Posted on: 03.21.2007
Hi you guys,
So I think I have been doing a pretty good job at not being completely
stressed out. I love competing and life on the RV has been so fun...but
this week, due to some serious girl issues, I was a moody, emotional
mess! Poor Staff Sergeant Steve, he must have thought I was crazy. He
said 'no pillows and no sheets' and I wanted to shoot him. Eating out
of a bag sucked and waking up at 6am really sucked, but the mission was
amazing. It was damn near impossible to breathe because the elevation
was almost 10,000 feet. Our bodies were working over time just walking
around let alone running half way up a mountain top. We did really well
during the first part of our mission and I felt lots of encouragement
from the Staff Sergeant but when good ole' Stevey told us we had to ski
into the frozen lake; I wanted to shoot him again. How ridiculous is
that!? Since we only needed 4 people to do it, the boys all stepped up
and Tori, who was feeling extra ambitious, decided to take one for the
team. Dave is a great guy and I am glad that he was able to find
success in his first mission with us. He was pretty nervous and I think
he was just glad to have his first mission over with.
We finally win our mission and Steve says the sweetest words in the
world... 'You can leave base camp'. Yaaaaaaaaaayyyy!! I tell you, I
give all military personnel a lot of respect because their lifestyle is
something else. I admire their determination and their commitment to
the military. I have to admit that perhaps I would have had a better
marine experience if I wasn't going through all my girl crap, but hey,
sometimes you just can't help it. I am not one to cry a whole lot or
complain and my emotional freak out surprised me. I am definitely not
high maintenance, at all (despite all the make up and hair crap you guys
always talk about) I really don't need much and I feel bad for our staff
sergeant because he got me at the worst time of my month, if you know
what I mean. Yeah, so not fun...
Onto the pit...This part is always the worst. Someone has to go in and I
know that there is a lot of speculation among the pit crew-ers as to how
we are voting or volunteering or whatever the best I can say but we are
all just trying to make the best decision and are trying to vote on a
fair and intelligent basis. It must be hard for them to understand
what's going on because they are unable to experience it in the way that
we do. I just hope that when their time comes they have a better
understand of what this is all about. Many of them say in their
blogging that they hope to shake things up; well, we all saw what happen
with Angel and that obviously didn't work out so I hope they learn from
her mistakes. Dan decided to volunteer himself because he has yet to
go into the pit. I think he'll be great. He's a tough guy and he wants
to be here so badly, so whoever he goes against will have a hell of a
fight. He and Dave are the best of friends so I am hoping that Dan
comes back and I get to see more of their antics together. Dan and Tori
told us all about Dave and how crazy he was; boy does he live up to it!
He might be the weirdest boy I have ever met but he's so funny. Dave's
from a small town so everything is new to him and he's so appreciative
of the experience. I love it! He's like a kid in a candy store. It's
so cute; he'll just look around the RV and I ask him "Dave what are you
doing??" and he says..."MAN! I just can't believe I'm here...I'm on
Road Rules." It's adorable!
It's funny how the vibe on the RV changes when someone new comes on
board. But Dan better get his butt back here because I need some
serious entertainment and between him and Dave, we've got it made! So,
go vote and wish Dan luck because the pit is no fun! See you at the
next mission!
Love,
Kina
