I come to you today with terrible news. In our tumultuous modern times, people often turn to focus on celebrities and their personal lives so they don’t have to pay attention to their own. Celebrity gossip magazines and blogs thrive, while divorce rates and unwanted pregnancy statistics (and teen STD rates) skyrocket. Reality TV is replacing scripted entertainment to the point that they’re actually considering making a movie of The Hills (and let’s forget for a minute that they actually made a Real Cancun movie).
We live vicariously through our public figures. We cry when Reece Witherspoon and Ryan Phillipe break up. We have a renewed sense of optimism when we hear that Brangelina may have finally decided to get married.
Today, we get perhaps the most terrible piece of celebrity news of the year. The relationship between CT and Diem from the Real World/Road Rules Challenge has officially ended. In a blog posted today on CT’s Myspace page, he reveals that “WE’RE NO LONGER TOGATHER.”
I for one find this news heartbreaking. It was the perfect union. We (the Challenge fans) loved seeing the greatest beast in Real World history settle down with the cute, reasonable, and totally sympathetic girl who beat cancer like it was nothing.
These two were a perfect Challenge couple. They had lust for each other, like Casey and Johnny Bananas, but that wasn’t the totality of their relationship. They had mutual respect for each other, like Holly and that old douchebag Timmy so many years ago, but theirs was not that asexual, boring kind of relationship.
Today is a sad day, a day of mourning. I may have to take a personal day tomorrow to really recover.
Thankfully though, the episode is not a total loss. CT, always one to make lemonade, gives us this piece of advice, based on his experiences: “all i have to say is, if u ever do a challenges u future real worlders out there, come single cuz its never good doing these shows as partners! you always wonder if their ploting against or some shit!”
Well said, CT. You do never know if your partner is “ploting against you or some shit.” It’s always harder to trust your sexual partner than it is to trust a stranger. Those closest to you can hurt you the most.
CT: Beast at the challenge and philosopher warrior. If he doesn’t win the Hottest Dude Award at the Real World Awards show on Wednesday, I will eat my hat.
That myspace page really isn’t CT’s, I’ve found his real (private) myspace before, there’s quite a few fake ones, including one that says he’s married to diem. No way the prince of beantown spells that poorly.
I refuse to believe that that isn’t the real CT’s myspace page. I’ve been around myspace long enough to tell the difference between the real mccoy and an impostor. Just because CT is a great man is no reason to believe that he has a great command of the English language.
Though CT isn’t on it, I still recommend watching the reunion show. Coral and Katie will not shut the fuck up, and there’s heavy insinuations that Evan and Kenny are fucking. Also, Real World: Hollywood looks like horrible shit. I’m starting to think I may never get on that show.
I got that vibe from e-dawg and k-dawg. and that totally isn’t ct’s page. but it works. can you watch this shit online?
hell naw, hollywood looks awesome, seriously, that dude is a total B-rad with a touch of CT work you in him. I like him already. I think it’s gonna be a good season. better than that shit fuck that was rw: sydney. fuck you cohutta.
I have to strongly disagree about that guy. He is no B-Rad, nor is he a CT. He looks like a whiny douche. All that nonsense about how hard it is to admit that he has a problem. Fuck that guy. Also, you know my feelings about Cohutta. There’s no love between he and I.
I’ll admit the crying was weird, but we’ll need to see the surrounding circumstances. I could see B-Rad as a tear shedder during a rough patch. And the new dude borders on the verge of talking a bit too black a la Danny (god i hated it when he kept talking about how salty he was gonna be if he went into the gauntlet.), but seems to keep it to a minimum. CT walks that line the best, he uses the slang and lingo, but never comes off as trying to be urban and hip.
