RIP Ryan Knight

Completely shocked, and really sad. I liked Knight a lot on his RW season, not so much on the Challenge but I still found him highly entertaining. Depressing to see anyone die at such a young age, really reminds you how little time we all have here. This has been a devastating month for MTV/The Challenge. At this point I'm glad the upcoming Challenge won't be airing for a while, but it will still be very emotional regardless.

RIP Knight.

When Knight tried to get up with McKenzie in New Orleans and she dogged him out, good times. Yes the 2000 edition was better but they could've did more structure with the lay out of B2NO because it was very corny at times but not DC corny.

Reading what happened to him...its a shame & this is exactly the type of lifestyle that MTV is all about. Promoting being drunk all the time, gone off of all types of drugs, etc. but refuse to invite certain others to come on these shows because they don't live that type of lifestyle. Notice they always have steady alcohol & probably pills but they can't even give these people decent food & don't let them go anywhere to the point that all they even have to do is get ****** up.

is this thread needed? the other one is already a discussion..

I created it so the Challenge 2014 thread doesn't get filled with posts and articles about his death just like their is a seperte one for Diem.  I removed the term "Discussion" from it - even though thats what it is.  You don't need to particpate, just giving people an outlet to talk about him.

Acid-tongued. Hysterical. The best villain, who at his core was a hero. This is the Knight I will always remember.

Too funny.. When Jemmye was running around screaming "Kniighhht"

I only posted that cause we already had this thread which was already an RIP/discussion thread: http://vevmo.com/forums/real-world-new-oleanss-ryan-knight-dead-29

My favorite moments of him are:

1. When he asks Preston how he came out, Preston tells his big story, and then Knight goes "how gay is that?"

2. When Ashlee said are you gonna start calling eachother baby and honey?  He said "what do you mean I call her baby and honey all the time! S*** my d*** baby, F*** me honey."

So funny and such a good cast member.  He'll be missed.

Gahhh! I loved when he'd talk about Ashlee having DSLs. Their friendship was so fun to watch!!

When he and Jemmye won Insane Games, "victory sex!!" and Jemmye points at the camera with this look of disgust, but you know she wanted to laugh.

Yeah seems odd to have two threads but ehhh.

I can't imagine the heartache castmembers are facing like say CT who was close with both having to attend another funeral and mourn another loss. RIP Knight.

R.I.P Knight , poor CT and Wes.

Stunned. 

I still laugh when I think of him torturing Jemmye with ketchup.

WOW so I was never  a fan of Knight as a human being but I would never wish this upon him.  I can at least say he brought some form of entertainment to The Challenge.  Bottom line:  RIP.

it was really shocking, does anybody knows the cause? Wasnt a fan of him but RIP

What interesting is he could be so inappropriate and play the villain role, but he had soooo many friends from the shows who loved him for him. Jenna just posted about him face timing her for hours in recent months and other castmembers he became really close to from Mike Mike to Wes to Jasmine and even Nany. He was that wild kid who would act inappropriate, but deep down really care for people. The reason he even hit Frank was because he cared about Jemmye so much and he knew what mean thing Frank said about her looks would hurt her.

About number 2, somebody told me that once in high school so i said if i have DSL's you have PELs.

aNOTHER ONE IS WHEN MCKENZIE told him they could never hook up because two pumps is not fun. classie. and ironic because he dated a mckenzie after wards but not THE MxcKenzie.

Knight frequently rubbed me the wrong way on the Challenges.  However, I liked how he was with Jemmye on their Real World season.  She was a total trainwreck and he came across as a real good guy the way he took care of her but I will say Challenge wise, I thought it was hysterical the way he acted as CT's bodyguard in Rivals 2 and was always getting in the middle of people when they  were attacking CT even though he is way smaller then him.

I hated Knight, not going to lie about it. What he said and did were not all that funny at all.

However, the guy had a heart. Knight showed that to me with Devyn and Eric's relationship on BOTSeasons. I think not seeing him anymore will be tremondously weird, and I doubt I'll forget the guy anyway.

I kind of feel bad for not being one of his biggest fans. It sucks that it sometimes takes a tragedy for me to realize how much I appreciate someone. Knight was the master of inappropriate humor. I will miss him.

Agreed, I thought I'd would see him on every challenge for awhile. It will also be weird seeing Jemmye without Knight for now on. Even though they were broken up, they were always linked together.

They believe that his death was a medical issue because Knight was complaining about stomach pain over the last few days.

Where did you see that?

Nevermind, I found this.

It is from a Milwaukee area news station which is what Kenosha would get. 

Not to be incosiderate or anything, but MTV has hit a goldmine with Battle of the Exes 2.

They do--if they're smart they air it asap

I still can't believe it. Diem we kind of had an idea but Knight came out of nowhere. I am still in such shock.
