The Challenge 35

Ever since TJ announced the change to the game some of the competitors have been playing off their emotions while others are playing a scared game, even the vets.

The Challenge 35

Dee and Rogan who won the finals last season on 'The Challenge' are back competing again. Last season they were a thing but this season they were no longer an item. However, Rogan had his eyes set on rookie Jenn and Dee didn't like it. When it was time for the women to fight for their first skull, Dee was adamant about sending in Jenn. She didn't like Jenn because Rogan was flirting with her so she was on board with sending her into the purgatory to go up against Jenny.

Ultimately, Jenn lost that battle and was sent home. With Jenn out of the picture Rogan was now available for Dee all to herself, so we thought. Instead of flirting and flaunting with Rogan Dee had other plans. To get back at Rogan she started flirting with Jay, who had already earned his red skull when he defeated Asaf. Jay went along with Dee's flirtations not knowing she was doing it to make Rogan jealous. Although Dee said she did like Jay and found him attractive, we all know she was flirting with Jay to get back at Rogan for flirting with Jenn.

Jay vs CT
The Challenge 35

After Jay earned the first red skull in the purgatory elimination he became a target and a threat. Vet Ct and rookies Bailey and Swaggy C were in the tribunal Rogan saw it as a chance to go in to purgatory against Jay. Feeding off of his emotions, Rogan begged the tribunal to put him into the purgatory with Jay. When it came down to the final vote, CT decided he wanted to get the red skull and let Rogan sit that one out. Ct is a strong competitor, and one of the strongest male competitors in the game. However, his swoleness and amazon strength wasn't fast enough to beat Jay and CT ended up going home. Not only did Jay defeat a veteran he also earned his second skull.

Jay of The Challenge 35

Following Jay's second win was the females turn to battle it out in the purgatory. Dee who chickened out of purgatory when Jenn was in the ring decided she would go up against Ashley. Ashley was already at her boiling point so she was already fired up to win. During the purgatory challenge Dee collected her five challenge title pieces while Ashley was still trying to find the final piece. The objective was to put the five challenges in chronological order and Dee had no clue which order the challenges go in. She got the answers wrong three times but with the help of Wes, Dee won. Dee didn't win fairly because without Wes telling her the answers she would not have known the correct order. Ashley being a seasoned player would have gotten them correct with no help. While Dee was trying to figure out the order Ashley would have found her piece and beat Dee fair and square.

After Dee got her red skull it was the males turn and Rogan was coming after Jay, again. This time the tribunal didn't hesitate to send Rogan into purgatory. The problem was Rogan was already in his feelings after Dee kissed Jay in his face. He was furious at Jay when he should have bee furious at Dee. No way the tribunal should have put Rogan in there with Jay knowing he was in rage and acting off his emotions. As soon as Rogan got the chance to hurt Jay in a physical way he did just that. He went into the purgatory with the intent to cause harm to Jay and that was not a fair win.

Both Rogan and Dee are playing off their emotions in this game and it's not fair to those who are really there to compete to win. TJ should implement striker rules to prevent people like Wes from giving answers, and from people like Rogan feeding off his emotions and intentionally causing bodily harm.

90 Day Fiance: Before 90 Days

On the episode titled "Private Eyes" of '90 Day Fiance: Before 90 Days' Ed revealed to Rose that her sister asked him for money and wanted to know if Rose has anything to do with it. Rose assured him she had no knowledge of her sister asking him for money. Ed then asks if it's okay if he and Rose discuss the issue with her sister together and Rose replied, yes. However, when Ed told Rose he was going to have a vasectomy and he doesn't want any more children, things took a turn for the worse.

During previous conversations Rose repeatedly said she wanted more children. Ed even recalled Rose saying she wanted a girl in an interview. Ed had plenty of times to tell Rose he didn't want anymore children before he went to see her in the Philippines. He had plenty chances to tell Rose he didn't want anymore children and still continued to lead her on.

90 Day Fiance: Before 90 Days

When Ed and Rose met for the first time in person Rose realized Ed had lied about his height. He then asked her to shave her legs after he gave her a massage and had sex with her. He then gave her some toothpaste and mouthwash saying he notice she had bad breath. When Rose took Ed to meet her family, Ed complained and criticized the conditions of where and how she lived.

90 Days Fiance: Before 90 Days

Well, Rose felt after Ed told her about the vasectomy and him not wanting children that he embarrassed her one too many times and gave Ed a piece of her mind. She asked Ed why he didn't tell her about the not wanting children before now and Ed was speechless. She then called Ed mean, told him that he didn't really love her or her son, and he embarrassed her. To sum it all up, Rose told Ed she no longer wanted to have a relationship with him. Ed tried to plead his case with his famous phrase "I love you". He said he had intentions on proposing to her. Despite Ed's plea, Rose made it clear she was done. She went to their hotel room, gathered her things and headed to the airport. 

Oh well, doesn't look like a happily every after for Rose and Ed. From the looks of next week's episode of '90 Day Fiance: Before 90 Days' titled "The Pleasure Principle" Ed was shocked to find Rose had took her things and left. He thought she just needed some time to think but she was long gone. Is it really over for Ed and Rose? Did Rose leave for good?

Ed appeared to show signs of a father to Rose rather than her man. He was trying too hard to change her and mold her into the woman he wanted her to be. Now he's back single again after nearly three decades. Hopefully he takes Rose advice and change the way he treats women before he attempts to find love again.
