“yeah, actually we are. like totally on the same show and everything. you havent been here though, in the house, i mean i would have noticed you like totally noticed you, i mean how could i not considering-” mouth was moving a mile a minute, brow furrowed slightly as she worked to keep up with it, to make sense of the words that were leaving her mouth. no, she had no idea of his presence, had avoided the cast list, wanting ot to be genuine, fun, a legit surprise. bay didn’t want to fret over the instagrams of her castmates, worrying about whether ot not they would get along. she would just show up and enjoy, regardless, but with each day the producers were making it harder and harder. first nicole, then a running with alex, she could have sworn she saw casey in the club, an unpleasant, uncomfortable  cast of her past growing before her very eyes. the idea that any of this, the idea of being voted in, it all being random and equal, was bullshit. this was completely crafted, handpicked to ensure ratings, hype, talk. and it was too late to end anything, contracts and such. bay shut her mouth, forced a smile and gave a nod. “yes, i am on the same show, crazy coincidence right?” more like perfectly crafted. “awkward right? like really awkward. man, producers really look into like everything in your past right? even the really awkward and embarrassing ones.” she swallowed, glanced behind him at the sea of people and movement and commotion behind him. “how, um how are you liking amsterdam?” tried to switch the subject, pushed her curls behind her ear and focused on him. him and his stupid handsome face. 

THE SLUR OF HER WORDS intermixed with the background beat of drums and echoing tunes. the dj was switching around the beats, and the walls grumbled with the pounding effects. in california, denver did not make an effort to frequent nightlife locations, for he was more reserved as a person compared to those who are fond of the constant drinking and dancing with strangers. he would rather light a bonfire on the shore of malibu alongside his closest friends and using skateboards as seats as opposed to logs. yet, in amsterdam, the skateboarder knew he had to patronize a club, for the red light city is notorious for the nightlife. to find someone from the cast in the same club as he was surprising, though, for he intended to be an individual rather than delivering dramatics with a cast member for the sake of entertaining the cameras. at least it was bay and not a cast member he is yet to befriend. that would have been more awkward. “yeah, awkward...” he spoke little words, for he was more focused with the state bay was in. he was concerned, to be fair. placing a hand on her shoulder, he looks into her chocolate hues, his forehead wrinkled, “why don’t we take a seat, yeah? you seem to be a bit too drunk.” he attempted to guide her to the seats in the vip section, wanting her to settle before she tumbled over drunk. “i was going to say i’m enjoying the city, but i’m sure you are enjoying it more than i.” a nervous chuckle as he crouched down in front of her---her being on the seat, that is. “how much have you had to drink?”

who do you want to see hookup in ibiza?

well like that last comment, i wanna see @karahsing get some her ex is literally like swarmed with potential non platonic opportunities and i want to see her flex a bit and hook up with someone, anyone. also @denverxm so we can all see that this “just friends” thing is a ruse. preferably with @ffsmckenna or @vctoriaqvinn but i would looove to see something happen with @mateohowls. i think @cvseygrffn  could get it with mckenna, you know, for the sake of just being an ass to her brother. know who i also think needs to get some? @xoitsnicole and @itsbcverly. yall keep talking about not making friends and rubbing people the wrong way, i want to see a softer, more vulnerable side, you know? but knowing them they would probably deny it all. actually, could we get a drama king and queen hook up? you guys will have that nice space all to yourself. it would be a first in jungle tv history. even if its on tape. we recently revealed @ofmarci is a freak, so i would love to see her jump in on that revenge threesome, now foursome i guess. i think @tccgans would look cute with @harriscngreen they’ve got that whole brunette thing going on. @nanixkelli and @eliastcylors cause their chemistry had me on he egde of my seat. @bcymurphy and @alexanderxcruz cause it would be messy. or maybe @hqlani and bay cause i might have seen sparks in the bar. @savcnnah-e and mateo cause there’s something just beautifully modelesque about them both. oh and the drama, of course.

“Well… I’d never think wrong of you,” she chimed in with a bat of her long lashes before continuing, “but can you blame them? Everyone’s on the edge of their seats wondering who has your heart. Your ex, McKenna, or that blonde chick?” Personally, Nicole could care less about the love lives of the people involved. She only wanted to spice things up in this alleged love rectangle to make the producers happy and keep her spot as one of their favorites.

PRESSING HIS LIPS into a thin line, he crosses his arms over his chest while his foot taps a rhythm. “no one has my heart. everyone can sit back and get comfortable because nothing is going to happen.” he looks over at her, raising a brow. “why are you so interested? we don’t need the viewers thinking you are in the so called romantic shape little shit either.”

[denverxm-blog]

Vix ignored the way her shoulders shivered beneath the accidental brush of Denver’s fingers… blamed the goosebumps sprouting across her flesh on nothing but the chilly wind. Any and every excuse in the book that she could find to explain away her instinctive reaction to his efforts was used. This was a harmless game— it wasn’t supposed to actually mean anything. And it didn’t. She convinced herself of that twice before finally turning around to find his gaze. “What would I do without you?” She murmured in a silken tone, for all intents and purposes seeming fine as she let the lace of her bra slip off completely. It was partially an act, though. When blue hues locked with chocolate brown she had to swallow around a sudden and surprising urge to— snap out of it. Mentally commanding herself to get it together even through the drunken fog in her brain Vix let loose a tiny laugh and then walked backwards toward her bike of choice. “It’s your dare, Den. You tell me.” Sooner or later somebody was bound to come out of the club and spot them both halfway to wearing nothing but their birthday suits, so the blonde used the momentary pause in conversation to swing one long leg over the seat of her ( stolen ) bicycle. If they needed to make a hasty getaway she’d be ready— and laughing all along the way. This was the kind of moment she lived for. The ones where adrenaline ran high and her stomach seemed to float above the churn of nerves and excitement. She was addicted to the rush, sought it in any way she could. Tonight she realized that a little act of exhibition and vandalism made the perfect mix. The tiny diamond tipped barbells pierced into each rosy tipped breast glinted in the moonlight as she adjusted into a comfortable position. Then, finally looking back over to receive his final word, Vix found herself smirking for the umpteenth time that night. “How far are you willing to go?” Even she couldn’t ignore the double entendre in her words; in fact, she nearly giggled when she picked up on it. It wasn’t her explicit intention to put him on edge but some things just came naturally. There was a very real chance part of her wanted to see his composure crumble— to witness him shed the cautious facade and come to life. 

RUMORS HAVE BEEN plastered about since the start of the show. denver is the infamous playboy juggling a number of women at once. that was not the case. sarah is an ex-girlfriend he has no intentions of rekindling a romantic relationship with, for he still harbors bitterness toward the way their relationship faded. mckenna is a dear friend he was lucky to make after the breakup, and, ever since, the two have been close from texting, facetiming, snapchatting, collaborating on videos, and the works. bay is a friend he made while working on a photoshoot, and he kindly rejected her romantic efforts, for he can only see her as a good friend. victoria, on the other hand, is someone he has recently befriended, and he told everyone that there was no romantic feelings between the pair. the two are only friends of frantic bargains, for a thrill of excitement ties the two together with their dares. yet, as he helped her with the simple task, there’s a feeling he could not describe. anxiety reckoned, and he felt as if there was something more. but, that’s not something worth mentioning. blame it on the alcohol. blame it on the night. ignore it. “there’s nothing you could do,” he amuses, throwing his hands up in defeat with a slight pout. hopefully she did not catch his sudden change of mood. walking toward the remaining bike, he positions himself onto the transportation unit of the night. looking down the streets dimly lit by the flickering streetlights, he attempts to recall locations formally visiting to select a destination to end the race. “there’s a bakery five blocks from here. we should go there.” it was late at night, and most people are fast in bed. there couldn’t be anyone near the bakery considering there is no bar nearby the selected place. catching onto her last comment, he averted his focus away from the vacant streets to her figure on the bike, highlighted by the moon lit atmosphere. cheeks reddened, and his fingers gripped around the handles of the bicycle. he knew victoria was only joking, her playful character in display, and it was a natural instinct between the two with their unique friendship. yet, for some reason, the comment caught him off guard, and he had to force himself to look away from the topless blonde to restrain from further embarrassment. clearing his throat, a nervous chuckle followed, and licked his lesser lip. “are you ready? in three...two...one!”

Not that McKenna thought poorly of everyone else on the show. It was just that some of them were more so in her favor than others. But that was probably to be expected, putting a bunch of strangers ( or rather N O T strangers – cue sideway glance at producers ) in a house together with clashing personalities & expecting them to get along. So far she enjoyed the company of all about four, maybe five, people out of- well she was starting to lose count. “Ooh!! Then maybe they’ll feel inspired by us & go out & get puppies too & then everyone in the entire world can have a puppy & we’ll all be happy!!” she cheered. At least Kenna was an enthusiastic drunk, with her affectionate nature only amplifying. She used her pointer finger to bop his nose. “I vote for Daisy or Rascal. Really it depends on the pup. What kind of dog should we get??”

“AND THEY CAN TAG us pictures of them with their new puppies, and we can make it on trending.” denver is---to be sentimental---lucky to have such a good friend in mckenna. after the misfortunes of his breakup going public, the professional skateboarder found it difficult to confide in his friends, for they had connections with his rival, at the same time. no one was there to comfort him and distract him from the mess, aside from the british brunette. she gladly took him in with open arms, and she made his time after the crumble an enjoyable moment, for the two explored london and surrounding towns. without her, he would have been hung up on the situation for a longer time. “daisy? we are not naming our dog after a flower. i’m not a hipster from brooklyn.” he roared a chuckle while shaking his head. “rascal, i can do. i think that would be a cool name for a beagle.”

she felt good. fucking good. one of her favorite songs blasting around her, a swanky VIP table, some of the best drinks she had ever had and little to no care in the world. no worries about the next game coming up, not fretting over getting her workout in or some stupid paper or exam she had due that week. no, bay was living. enjoying even. face flushed with heat and tequila, curls a carefully crafted mess at the top of her head. someone had said her name, had hardly registered just who the person was in the dim lighting, groaned slightly, almost in annoyance at his intrusion. his body shifted, he must have been turning to go, but in that moment, the light caught his features just right. those kind eyes, chiseled jaw. bay couldn’t tell if her heart was skipping a beat or if it was the vibrations from the bass bumping around her. “denver?!” is name left her lips loudly, but she could hardly hear it amidst the music and noise of the club. how long had it had been since that series of shoots? since she made an absolute fool of herself in front of him and in what was supposed to be a professional environment? nearly a year almost. it was a weird time altogether, having just had her own public breakup from alex, trying to get back into the swing of dating. he was cute, they talked, they flirted, or so she thought, making a move only seemed right. she planned it easily, could play it off in the shoot, an athletic couple sharing their love of each other and the game, how fucking stupid. she cringed every time she thought of it. sober anyway. buy now? now she had enough alcohol in her system, that at the sight of him, she didn’t feel the instant regret, the intense urge to go back into time, that desperation to forget it all even happened in the first place. no, bay almost felt… giddy. a warmth flooding her laced with the heat of remembrance and the burn of tequila. she reached out, hand sloppily finding his shoulder to stop him. “what are you doing here? in amsterdam?” a slight slur of her words, brow furrowed somewhat as she looked up at him. 

THE LAST THE TWO coincided in location was in a compact studio of natural lighting, sunlight slipping through the cracks of windows, a vacant loft of white chipping walls and cement flooring. he has been sprawled across the cold floor with only sweatpants to cover, a tee shirt hidden, for the photographers and brand directors styled him to wear no top in order to sell the image. a fit male with the young face and artistic colors crawling up his arms. imbibing on water, an apple in his other hand, he was able to pleasantly establish a friendship with the female model---bay. she was funny, amicable, and she was spontaneous throughout the shoot which he appreciated. he has formally worked with models of stoic mannerism---not willing to offer a hand in greeting, in fact. unfortunately, though, his polite character led her on as she found the courage to lean forward for a kiss for a series of photos. denver has recently terminated a three year relationship, and he was not interested in pursuing a relationship so sudden. and, to him, bay made a wonderful friend; he simply was not interested in developing something furthermore with her. after the incident, he has regretted where the two parted, and he has been tempted to message her before to rekindle their friendship, but neither parties made an effort. until tonight. with her hand falling limp against his shoulder, he turns over and finds himself glancing at her curls and long lashes. a dimpled smile curved into her cheeks, and there was an aroma of enthusiasm cased over her features which lessened his anxiety. “i’m actually here with that show jungle,” he waved a hand as he finds the words to say, his attention looking over her shoulder to the people she befriended in the club at the vip section. clearing his throat, once again looking at her, he plastered a small smile. “we are actually on the same show, bay. you know that, right?”

Nicole wasn’t exactly ecstatic with having to see Denver again, she liked to keep people of her past in the past, but clearly that wasn’t going to happen if she remained on this show. If it wasn’t for her urge to stir up drama with this whole ‘Denna’ thing then she would’ve avoided him like the plague. The woman really needed to understand that just because she was the type to use a juicy secret for blackmail doesn’t mean everyone else is. But for the sake of not getting on the man’s bad side just yet, her lips curved to form a fake grin, flashing her pearly whites and all. “Denver, honey,” she began, taking a seat next to him on the sofa and crossing her legs, “care to tell me how you manage to juggle so many girls at once?”

ONCE THE REALITY television star sat adjacent, he leaned forward to settle the glass water on a coaster, and his focus dwindled from the screen broadcasting red, blue, and white flashing lights. instead, his gentle eyes averted to the female. meeting before in california due to mutual friends, he witnessed her lowest point, and when the two crossed paths on the show, he vowed to not say a word in order to minimize drama. the last thing he wants is to instigate drama, for he only agreed to participate for the sake of advertising his brand. “come on, nicki,” he rolled his neck back, a short chuckle vibrating his throat. “i’m not juggling any girls, okay? why does everyone think i’m some player?”

NOTHIN’ BUT THE TRUTH: A RECAP !! 

well, well we definitely got some answers to our most burning questions didn’t we? lets start off with the event that really got this season rolling, the half assed attempt at a fight that happened between @xoitsnicole and @bcymurphy. and viewers are still kind f confused about whats going on? neither of them gave direct answers when asked about each other and while bay took a more aloof approach, there’s still definitely some hard feelings on nicole’s part. ouch. speaking of nicole, we may have a new top mean girl in the group too, seems like @itsbcverly has rubbed some people the wrong way as well, not that it seems like she cares either. both her and nicole have definitely taken on the “we’re not here to make friends” mentality. maybe we’ll see an ultimate showdown between beverly and nicole? or perhaps they’ll combine their powers for ultimate evil in the house? we’ll seee. you know who’s another undergog option? @hqlani, a self admitted instigator. she’s new, she’s cute, and better not let us down. 

and the ever platonic @denverxm​ triangle, or wait, is i a quadrilateral now? lets count, we’ve got @ffsmckenna, @vctoriaqvinn and @karahsing. we have ourselves a love rectangle it seems.  oh wait, didn’t mateo say he was interested too? what do you call it, a hexagon now? damn. but wasn’t there something that happened with bay too? well fuck. as expected, they were asked about each other and managed to expertly ride that thin line between romance and platonic status, as they do oh so well. denver admitted he hasn’t slept with anyone, yet. bets on who will be the first? will denna finally be a thing? or will that old love prevail now that  sarah is in the mix now? also, can we give the girl an award for taking the high road and being so mature about it all? you go glen coco. 

and onto our favorite bromance of @cvseygrffn and @mateohowls. a little birdy told me casey and @savcnnah-e have been spotted together in the same vicinity, not sure if anythings going on with that, but girls gorgeous, wouldn’t be surprised if they got cozy during the season. you know what i wanna see though? this revenge hookup between casey, mateo, amd mckenna. yes please. 

on a side note, our lovely innocent and pure fave @ofmarci has had a threesome?! everything i know is a lie. 

let me know what you thought of our little special, who was honest and who wasn’t? who are you shipping and ditching in the next location? what do you wanna see from this lot next time? dont forget to check back with us later, where we will crown our drama king and queen of the week!

SOUND OFF HERE.

[jungleafterdark]

AND FOR AMSTERDAM, YOUR FIRST DRAMA KING AND QUEEN ARE…. !!

drum roll please.

[denverxm-blog]

would you ever get back together with sarah?

“i, uhm---” pressing his lips tightly together, the sound of her name still broke his heart, and that explains why he has yet to confront her. how the two ended things was not a mutual ending. true, they told all of social media that they agreed to the breakup, and that it was amicable, but it was not. she broke his heart. “i don’t think so. the two of us have moved on, and we are in a good place.”

@karahsing

[denverxm-blog]

What do you see in Victoria? You seem like complete opposites.

“if you give her the chance, you’ll be surprised to know that her and i are not too different,” denver confessed with the shrug of his shoulders. “she’s very fun to be around, has a contagious smile, bold, funny, and just a great girl. we like to have fun exploring the city, and we just have a great time together no matter what we have planned.”

@vctoriaqvinn

[denverxm-blog]

what year of your life would you choose to relive?

“that’s actually a really good question; thank you for that.” a genuine smile toward the camera before he thought over his answer. “i was in a really good place when i was twenty. support from my friends, i was gaining recognition, brands were contacting me, i tried modeling for the first time, and i won a big competition.”

[denverxm-blog]

do you think you will do anything you regret while on the show?

“i hope not, but only time can tell.”

[denverxm-blog]

anybody in the house you're hoping to hook up with?

“my intentions for coming to the show is not to hook up with the cast.” denver looks into the camera with his stupid grin, throwing his hands up in defense. “if it happens, it happens.”
