The Challenge: Battle of The Exes 2- CT Tamburello and Diem Brown

Here is  a clip MTV posted about her & CT and the CT voice I believe is from the new Exes season and it also shows a clip of them dancing and a club which also appears to be the newest season based off what CT is wearing & how Diem looks. http://www.mtv.com/shows/challenge-battle-of-the-exes-2/we-love-diem-sne...

I have to admit, I wasn't a Diem fan with her political game (especially on Rivals II) and I'm definitely not a CT fan for personal reasons, but the clip of them 2 dancing made my heart melt. Looking back, I wished they would have won BOTE1 and at least Diem would have won a challenge. I respect her for never quitting and facing every obstacle thrown in her way

My gosh, the way he looks at her as they dance....I'm in a puddle. I was feeling the same way watching that clip, happy and sad. It feels odd to have both of those emotions at once. They really do look so in love. The only thing that makes me feel at least a little bit better is knowing that CT will carry those memories with him forever. He will always have the memories, but yet he won't have her...it is so sad...what is that old cliche saying though, better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all....I don't know. I sure hope CT wil be okay.  

Did they record this before she passed away?Or after.

After.

After.

I'm actually not so sure...  I have a feeling that some of this stuff was done the week she was still alive, but for a bigger thing. I think it may have been parts for another upcoming thing before the Challenge.  PinkRose may know better though. 

I hope Diem went out strong in her last few episodes & had a blast.

RIP, girl.

I have a feeling she kicks *** for the few episodes we do see her in. I know she is going to do great! I also feel like all th new girls kind of flocked to her. After  her p***ing, they were all saying how sweet and fun she was. I hope they give her a lot of camera time. I m being a little selfish but, It's the last chllenge we get to see her on.

What I am most worried about is how they are going to handle the segment when she collapses? I dont want to see it. I hope they do not show it. Maybe they could do like a fade to black or show a ambulance leaving but, I dont want tto actually watch her go through that. Maybe they will have some cast interviews after CT and DIem leave. I wonder how they will handle CT as well. I cant imagine how he was feeling/acting once he saw that happen to her.....

It makes me so sad, They would have won this challenge.....

I agree with you. I don't want to see her collapse either. They don't need to show it to get the point across.  

I hope before the collapse that she does get a lot of screen time because I want to see her too. It's been a month since our sweet girl p***ed. I have noticed that Nia has posted a number of really sweet tweets about Diem, how they were roommates and her smile was the first smile she would see in the morning, how she wishes Diem were still here. I do too. 

I know that as time goes on, I will start to feel better, but I still feel blue sometimes. I can't imagine CT necessarily wanting to do any cast interviews after she collapsed. I feel like he just wanted to go and be with her as soon as he could. 

I know they are only supposed to be in 3 episodes, but I am a little bothered that we barely saw them. Of course they were the heartbreaking opening of the trailer but, I would have liked to see more.

I am ***uming that the producers know their material is limited and therefore they want to save it for the actual episodes. I wonder if they actually competed in 3 challenges or if they competed in two and then Diem left or her leaving is part of the 3rd epsiode they appear in? So Far we know they compete in a tight rope challenge and a Peanut Butter mission. I hope I get to see them kicing some *** though...

i kind of wonder if ct carries her to get medical attention from the couch scene(bc she either is in so much pain and crying or passed out already), than CT waits for her to come back, but TJ does a surprise visit and tells ct he has to leave or has the choice to leave becuase diem can't continue and was flown to the US to be treated. I hope it is shown he chose to leave and not TJ forcing him to leave. Or they don't change the story for the show storyline where he says i am leaving to be wiht diem and they show it like tj told him he had to go. It will be interesting to see how this all goes down on a heavily edited show.  Still very sad though knowing how it all ends up

I dont know. For some reason, I dont think they would show her collapsing. I mean, I hope they wouldnt out of respect to her and her family and because it would be such a heartbreaking and scary momet for many. That is why I dont think that is what we saw on the trailer. I think she may not have been feeling well beforehand and that is why it looks as if ice or a heating pad is on her stomach. 

I hope they will handle the entire situation very delicately. It is very serious and should be documented in that manner.

Agree. But the way it originally was worded it made it seem like it happened during a mission, now i am not so sure. But i still agree with your point and hope they aren't calling CT everyday to do aftershows. I doubt CT even tweets or does anything in relation to this season unless he's obligated to under his contract, which i hope not since they went home so early. Even if he is, come on BMP, show some class and don't make him.

Im sure there will be aftershows but he most likely will decline. He is in mourning and they should respect that and leave him be. When he is ready, he my or may not.  MTV should not make him feel obligated to do so.

i know i meant before the show sometimes it's in contract they have to do afterrshows as part of the deal. They get paid, but sometimes they do pointless aftershows that don't really seem necessary. THe one where miz hosted on rivals 1 with ct mandi evan and wes was an example. i don't see ct agreeing to do that unless he had to contractually, he didn't even seem to want to be there while miz was asking him who he'd rather sleep with of the two girls. My guess was agreed beforehand to do one and had to do at least 1 aftershow.

i am saying if he  had agreed he woudl do one(before they left to do the show), i hope htey don't hold him to it due to the circumstnaces and let him heal and not try to get an on camera reaction to how he feels for TV value. I for one, do not want to see him on some dumb aftershow all torn up about her . That woud be very hard to watch.

My guess is that they will want him for the reunion as you know they will talk about it. Maybe one of those CT is here and we'll be bringing him out soon kind of things. I really hope not. I would much rather that they leave him alone to grieve and not try t o parade him in front of the cameras. Contracts be ******!

I don't get why people expect them to be decent to Ct. I mean they bumped this season up to capitalize on Knight and Diem's Deaths. What makes you think they won't try to get CT on the reunion and open up about Diem? Granted there's probably no way in hell he'll do it but that doesn't mean they won't try.

Im not saying that they will respect him and her family, I am saying that they should. I doubt he will do any of it. Especially not at a live reunion in front of an audience. It will be overwhelming for him to speak of her, especially in that kind of situation. If he decided to do anything, I think maybe he would if it were just him and an interviewer. But idk....I still think that would be too soon for him.

What if CT never went home and stayed in the game and Cara Maria replaced Diem, since she manages to squeeze into every Challenge known to man.

They probably wouldn't even do it. How would they even spin those two as exes?

But then again they did have Mike replace Leroy on Rivals 1 and they were friends and they'd do whatever they could to keep CT on the challenge so...

It would be the first season where I didn't root for Cara.

Their interview is up:

About time.. it was like they were avoiding it completely.

She looked stunning as usual. I think i'll be able to watch the season as normal, but I know my heart and stomach will sink as if I were on a roller coaster the moment Diem's final moments are aired and they put up the inevitable black screen with her picture and her birth year to her death year. Ugh.. I hate those so much. That's gonna make me sick. 

It did seem like they waited a long time to put up this interview yet they must know many fans are so curious to see Diem one last time.

Diem looks radiant and happy and has such a glowing presence in this interview.  It's hard to comprehend what was going on inside her body and lying in wait for her at this point. 

This CT/Diem interview is so different from their last one (Exes 1).  The Exes 1 interview was so fraught with tension, but on this one they are literally glowing and so easy with each other and smiling at each other when the other one is talking.  Chemistry is there as always.

Looking at the interviews, Jordan/Sarah, Nia/LeRoy and CT/Diem seem to be the only ones with a positive vibe and no awkward tension between them.  I get the feeling they are probably the best communicating teams for as long as they last which is a big advantage in Exes/Rivals set ups.  I feel like this team would have gone far, and Diem wanted so badly to win.

RIP Diem.

Oh my goodness.....that interview....gotta watch it more than once now.  She makes Chris so nervous. It's so easy to see their feelings.

I completely disagree that she makes CT nervous.  I found him playful in their interview, trying to get a rise out of her.  Sort of like an old married couple telling the story of how they met and what happened along the way.  Reminded me of the scenes in "When Harry Met Sally" when the couples were telling their stories.  They both look so happy and seemed relaxed with each other.  Makes me want to watch The Duel again to see how it all started...

She looks so beautiful; more beautiful than ever! It is as if she's glowing. And I love that you can see him smiling everytime she talks even though he has glasses on. They were so playful and happy. It is so nice that they were able to move past their hurt and rekindle their relationship before she passed. You can tell that it meant so much to them. If God had other plans, there is not doubt in my mind they would have won. But perhaps they already did win just by forgvining each other and allowing themseves back into each other's hearts.

Gonna be a tough watch,

Rest Easy Diem...

Very good acting in this interview.  Unfortunately, they probably keep up the act and we won't see too many affectionate moments.

CT could easily have a new partner. Laurel, Mandi, Cooke, Shavoun, Bird

Diem looked stunning. Even though they are trying to act like they aren't together, it is so obvious they are and they are happy.
