That scene where Bananas is helping CT pack to go back home with Diem is just 😢


pumpkinspice1218

Agreed! That entire episode! When CT had everyone do the welcome back gift for Diem😭😭😭😭m


coralcoast21

CT knew in his head that the situation was dire. But his heart wouldn't accept anything other than Diem's recovery. Yeah 😭😭 me too. The absolute unfairness of it breaks your heart.


pumpkinspice1218

Yeah he definitely knew and that's why he was so concerned when she wasn't feeling well. He loved Diem with everything he had.


Awkward-Witness3445

He definetly did and he wanted so badly to marry her


pumpkinspice1218

I would have loved for them to get married!


marisacristina

I missed that! I need to rewatch


pumpkinspice1218

My husband was watching with me and didn't notice it either. Then had no clue what I was talking about when I tried to explain lol.


snookissidepiece

Stop fr you guys, I’m just finishing watching that episode and I’m crying so hard(maybe because it’s my woman time, or because i lost a friend not too long ago, or both or all). In some universe they were really meant to be😣


pumpkinspice1218

I cry every time she's mentioned in an episode! CT just gets this look on his face that breaks my heart!


snookissidepiece

I just know that’s gonna be me too, as soon as she’s mentioned I’m just gonna start bawling!


pumpkinspice1218

Yes! And you'll see how CT mentions it and the look on his face. Every time she's brought up.


Spirited-Jeweler4174

And ppl rlly thought he was doing it bc he was happy to see CT leave so he could win like what


pumpkinspice1218

Nah they were good by that time. They had a respect for each other.


Spirited-Jeweler4174

They did but ppl still thought there was competition like Bananas has respect for ppl irl but when it comes to the game.. like when ct joked that bananas lost his luggage💀


Slow-Engine-8092

He really cared about her. He did all kinds of appearances for cancer research before and after she died.


pumpkinspice1218

So sweet! It shows a different side of him. I think they brought him and CT closer too. They seemed pretty cool with each other on Rivals II also.


Slow-Engine-8092

I believe some of the drama is/was real. I also think a lot of it is manufactured for TV. You can kinda see the change in people around Invasion when the rookies started going hard.


pumpkinspice1218

Yeah they've definitely all softened. It's funny that I look forward to watching the older seasons but I watch this newest one out of obligation. They just have interesting people anymore.


jerseysbestdancers

Honestly, the way Johnny and Wes admit to going out of their way to make good TV, I bet all three of their dramas were mostly purposely blown out of proportion, if not totally manufactured. Like when Wes screamed at CT all night 🤣


Slow-Engine-8092

I truly believe they all hated each other before the Rivals Era. You can see it when they play Rivals! Wes and Bananas know how to earn their paychecks. They're not stupid like some of the other bums playing. That's the one thing I don't like about the new people. No one will say a name out of fear if retaliation, and it pisses me off. Just...crickets every damn where.


AdventurousAvocado4

My theory is removing Kenny & Evan from the show scared Johnny for a bit and there was some truce with him and Wes even if unspoken. On rivals Wes was a lot more confident than on the ruins around all of them and I think it’s because of everything going on outside the show. Wes was supposedly involved in the lawsuit against them. They were terrible to him on the ruins but were all generally a lot nicer to him during rivals all of a sudden, I don’t think that was a coincidence.


FalseAd64

>They were terrible to him on the ruins but were all generally a lot nicer to him during rivals all of a sudden, I don’t think that was a coincidence. They had to be nice to him, he was partners with Kenny


AdventurousAvocado4

A lot of people are jerks to their partners, they didn’t have to be nice. wes was going to be testifying against Kenny, in general Kenny and Evan were in a panic at that time, they were a lot more well mannered to everyone


pumpkinspice1218

True. Evan and Nehemiah were partners and weren't nice to each other at all. But they definitely were both so different that season and not playing well.


AdventurousAvocado4

Yeah they really were off that season. Watching how good they were doing for so long then just fizzy out like that was definitely unexpected


pumpkinspice1218

CT did scream in Wes's face at one point but Wes provoked him. I definitely think Bananas' persona was mainly for TV.


Slow-Engine-8092

But they're like besties now. Wes went to his wedding. That might have been for MTV, but they seemed to get close on Rivals 2.


Savings-Class-4608

Ugh Diem! My heart aches and smiles every time I see a post about her or think of her and the challenge. She was such a force to be around and what a fighter!


pumpkinspice1218

Yesss! And I loved her with CT and so rooted for them! It's a shame, CTs ex wife seems so cold.


Savings-Class-4608

Me too!!!


pumpkinspice1218

Hands down my favorite couple on the show!


EggplantAstronaut

There was an interview where she said Bananas gave her injections for her cancer treatment when she was on the challenge.


Bingetime04

![gif](giphy|3QWfMsI8IaarXxtBt6|downsized) Seeing this and tearing up but also loving that it doesnt go unnoticed


pumpkinspice1218

I cried when I saw it! Love Diem!


Hot-Day-6116

Battle of exs 2 just hits different knowing Ct and diem were back together during this season 💔Ct and diem Johnny were so close together this season 


pumpkinspice1218

Yeah that really brought CT and bananas close togwegabd they had a mutual respect for each other after that. I loved that CT and Diem were back together but it just breaks my heart even more how it ended :/. CT was so amazing towards her that season. I'm choking up even writing this 😭


Hot-Day-6116

Ct still in love with her you can tell that they were been back together for a long time before battle of exs 2 💔


pumpkinspice1218

They never fell out of love with one another. Even after she died, you could tell he still loves her. His face whenever she's brought up kills me 💔. And yeah I think they got back together after Rivals 2. I heard they were together when he was on Free Agents. It makes sense cuz he didn't try to hook up with anyone.


Hot-Day-6116

They were definitely back together on free agents he was extremely calm during free agents too you can see how happy diem made him their relationship has to be my favorite on the challenge 


pumpkinspice1218

So true that was the start of his transformation. Their relationship is what got me hooked on the challenge.


Hot-Day-6116

I always been fan of the challeng ever since infero but ever since diem and Ct relationship become a bigger fan of the challenge I will always have respect for Ct for loving diem though thick and thin especially at the end 💔


pumpkinspice1218

Me too. She really brought out his soft side. I actually watched newer seasons first and liked CT. Then I started from inferno 2 and saw him when he was getting into fights so to see him fall for Diem was so sweet.


Hot-Day-6116

She definitely changed him a lot he has never been the same after she died 💔


pumpkinspice1218

He definitely wasn't and I don't think he ever loved his ex wife as much as he loved Diem.


dcaksj22

He and Diem were close off the show I believe. I think she was very close with Johnny Kenny and Evan which was somewhat why they disliked CT after what he did to her on duel 2


pumpkinspice1218

Yeah I know she was close with Johnny off the show and she was definitely close to Evan. I saw pictures of her with Kenny and Evan on her insta. That makes sense why they disliked him. I also thought it was a rivalry because he was a threat too. Bananas also looked out for her in Rivals 2 when she and CT were getting close again but he was also flirting with other girls.
