I don't know why, but I feel like she's one of the cast members who goes above and beyond to put on a show for the cameras. Like she tries so hard to look and act like she's weird and odd and misunderstood, and it's really irritating. But then again I don't know her personally.

I dont think she is putting a show on for the cameras at all, I think she is being herself and I do belive that she misunderstood quite a bit. I like her the way she is

Anyone know what's her ethnicity? If I had to guess, Italian or Latin?

Same, to me cara maria seems like 1 of the few people not pretending to be someone else.

Does anyone know why Derrick's wife hates Cara Maria?

It was discussed just 12 posts ago...

She answered that question on her formspring, but I don't remember her answer. You'll have to look through the questions.

She replies within a day or so on that formspring. That is awesome she has that, i wish more castmembers did! Or were on Vevmo replying!

Regarding Derrick's wife, I've only seen her in one of his videos on YouTube, and she basically called him dumb the entire time. The video is actually called "My wife calling me dumb." She just seemed flat-out mean.

She's Sicilian, Irish, and something else, I forgot.

She'd fit right in a challenge :D

She's too nice, but she is also herself which makes her interesting to watch.

LOL! Cystic, you sure do put a smile on my face :)

She's my favorite! :) I think the reason she looks weak is because of what she said on her Formspring: that she doesn't talk the talk, she just lets her actions speak for her. People like Sarah and Jenn who do mediocre but walk around acting like they're the best subconsciously make people think they are better than they are.

Don't really know much about her. When I hear her name I instantly think of Cara Zavaleta. Not a bad competitor but not that good either, Cara doesn't add that much to the show. She's just there

I guess to each his own. I think she adds a lot. She's a good competitor (she beat Laurel in some of the categories in the beginning of Fresh Meat), she's unique, gorgeous, and funny.

I think she adds some drama, but not that much as maybe we would like to see. I won't be super happy if she would do another Challenge.

I don't think she's that good, or at least from what I've seen so far, shes not bad but I don't know if she's in top 5 best females. I actually though she was going to be Evelyn #2, because she was also statistically the best girl on FM2 (although Laurel was saying she cheated lol) and got sent home 1st (which I still have no idea how that happened with Darrell as her partner?!). But on the challenges after FM I didn't think she stood out from the rest.

I agree about the Evelyn #2 thing, but sadly she just hasn't been that physically dominant. Even if she did "cheat" on the pull-ups (actually, all the girls did chin-ups), that's still way more than what any of the other girls managed, and she did really well otherwise too. Besides, Laurel was just mad that someone out-performed her. As for her and Darrell going home first...it's because they both suck at puzzles. Darrell won the first FM because he had Aviv, who was really good at them.

I think you already know, but Wes plotted to get them thrown into exile because Darrell beat everyone on the FM1 final and had never lost a challenge before. From the footage, it seems like Cara Maria couldn't handle the elimination round, because as I think she has said herself, she doesn't have much endurance. Plus Jill and Pete work really well together and they both know how to perform at high intensity for long periods of time.

Cara Maria said that Jill and Pete were actually taking it easy during the Exile, and it was the puzzles that finished CM and Darrell.

Ah. Well I stand corrected :)

Lol endurance is kind of important if you want to be considered a good competitor and you should know a little about solving puzzles. But yeah it's like moonpaw said, in FM1 you were able to skip puzzles I bet that had a lot to do with it. Still though Jill/Pete had one of the worst times, so it doesn't look good. I kinda though the puzzles on FM2 were easy or easier than FM1, like the fish puzzle and adding up the numbers one.

I think what it is is that she made some kind of comment on Derrick's facebook, Derrick's wife misinterpreted it as being flirty or something, and pretty much "banned" Derrick from talking to her. She said on her formspring that the reason is because Derrick's wife hates her, it didn't have anything to do with Kenny or Johnny...she's said she likes both of them.

Derrick said on his podcast that his wife banned him from been on FB completely.. even if i didnt know CM was the cause or part of the cause for this.. it made me lmao.. then feel sympathy for D for loving his wife so much, and also a little sad that he is so whipped...

Anyone else think she has the most beautiful smile of anyone on the show?

Derrick did mention on the podcast with Laurel and Evan that his wife tried to throw a stool at Cara Maria. And Derrick always seems very cautious not to upset his wife. Kenny said she's crazy. lol. She must be the jealous type. ha ha.

She has the most beautiful smile that I've ever seen. It just lights up her entire face. I love it. :)

Yeah on Robin's podcast she was trying to explain the fight between her and Aneesa and she was saying it was actually Derrick's fault, I think she was saying that she kissed him, then he says yeah yeah we're not going there. Yeah we don't want a another person banned from the podcasts.

It's absolutely gorgeous! It really does light up her entire face. Watch the clip online where Mike tells his first impression and she corrects the pronounciation of her name and smiles.

I've seen all these challenges. But that was so long ago. I'm trying to scratch my head, but I think I seem to remember there being rumors of Aneesa cozying up to Derrick. I don't think it was anything big. Could have been just cuddling. I don't think it aired, but it was something castmembers discussed. This was long before he was a family man though! lol. It's funny because I remember on Aneesa's season Theo (who I loved) was trying to sleep with Anessa and she kept acting grossed out by the idea of being with a man. Now you hear all these rumors of her and Dunbar. Still, Robin's rant was uncalled for. Aneesa was most upset by her bringing race in it. She kept saying "how dare you say that racial __ to me?!" I relate to that. I'm mixed too, and I do not like someone yelling at me, "you're black. you're white. Pick one!" I would be upset too. But Robin has said some dumb things when she's drunk.

I watched the Duel but I remember nothing about Derrick in that fight, I just find it funny cause the duel was years ago and Derrick's wife would be pissed about that is kinda crazy. And wow did you say Aneesa and Dunbar?! Where did that come from, what an odd pair. Mr Protein and Aneesa! You can't be serious.

I don't remember him being there in the room with the fight. But Anessa had just probably cuddled with him or something and Robin was drunk and calling her out on that. Robin gets paranoid and she was probably think Anessa was just cuddling up to Derrick for votes. That's what I think it was. You know like how she attacked Johanna for hooking up with Kenny. She gets paranoid and then gets drunk and goes off. Aneesa and Dunbar? Well watch the Duel 2 sh__ they should have shown show. I think Dunbar is just a really ****** man. How many people on these shows has he hooked up with? In addition to Paula and Kim, didn't he hook up with Sarah too?
