We'd forgotten just how many times Johnny called Ev a "dumb b-tch" until we watched that painful video montage during last night's Island reunion special. And while we hadn't forgotten about the whole Kenny/Walnuts boat betrayal, we had underestimated the number of casties who came away from the Island with a Kenny-sized chip on their shoulders.

Sure, Bananas is the one who came across as some sorta angry chick-hating misogynist, but he says he got unfairly cast as the villain this year (possibly to fill in for resident Challenge badass CT). More surprisingly? The girls -- Robin, KellyAnne, and Jenn -- actually seem to agree with him.  According to the ladies, Kenny was a traitorous trash-talker -- and, consequently, the bigger "chump" of the two. And all three (plus Paula, in between hiccuping/gulping/crying) agreed the cameras should've shown less of Kenny's nice guy act -- and more of his backstabby, behind-the-scenes behavior.

Natch, we feel like our whole world's been turned upside down (Is Kenny not the dimply mama's boy we thought he was? Does Johnny (gulp) actually have a soul? Did Dunbar not have the 'Biggest Jerkface' title on lockdown??) so we figured we'd let you guys settle this one once and for all. Take our poll and tell us who YOU think was the worst overgrown frat boy in all the land.

One Island. Lots of hatred. Between Johnny's verbal war with Evelyn, Kenny's underestimation of Robin's IQ and an incredibly bitter feud between Kenny and KellyAnne (over Johnny's banana!), it goes to show these RW/RR Challenges aren't exactly bonding experiences for the cast.

We pulled the usual suspects aside before the taping of their Reunion Special to see if any  of them were ready to make nicey. Unfortunately, our interviews were interrupted by yet another sparring session... Remember when Kenny swung by our hood to vlog about his Island adventure? Well, KellyAnne didn't take kindly to him spreading worldwide Web rumors about, ahem, getting her hands dirty with Johnny, so she took a good chunk of time backstage telling him where he can stick it. Behold:

KellyAnne wasn't the only girl who came back from The Island wanting payback. Robin wants y'all to know she's not a pig, certainly not a duck and definitely not a sucker!

And finally, Ev gets a little emotional thinking back to how awful Johnny treated her ... and Johnny, well, he says he really feels for her now. But still no apology. Take a look:

Sure, we all watched last week as Ev sold her soul to the Devil (or at least to Johnny Bananas), bounced Paula out of the winning boat and led the guys to a smooth-sailing victory. But it's not like that's the ONLY thing that went down this season.

And since we happen to have photographic memories (and all the episodes at our fingertips) we've decided to relive the craziness by taking a look back at some of The Island's craziest moments. Starting with...#12.

#12. Hi Tonya! Bye Tonya! The hot-tempered Challenge vet quickly got into with an argyle-clad Kenny (Remember that sweater?) and was back on the boat to civilization before you could even say "Episode 2."

#11. Hey, remember how tough Dave was on Real World: Hollywood? Yeah, not so much on The Island. Witness his major meltdown (Dude, what's your malfunction??) and read his mostly nonsensical explanations for his subsequent self-removal.

#10. Awww, look! It's Robin accusing Johanna of "f---ing" her way to the top. Later, Joey would try and take back what she said about weaseling out of faceoffs but hey, that's what the rewind button is for.

Keep reading the Island's Top 12 Moments, after the jump!

Hey there, boys and ghouls! Since Halloween happens to be our most favoritest day of the whole year, we figured we'd take a sec to remind you that you're never, ever too old to get all dressed up and take candy from strangers. So GET OUT THERE and start scaring people!

But first, take a look at Halloween Hall of Fame-wrothy costumes from Brad, Robin and Randy of Real World: San Diego.

In fact, give those guys (and girl) a giant, foam-rubber hand for managing to look both unselfconscious and festive in their goofy getups. And, in Brad and Randy's case, for finding a way to clutch those (comparatively) teeny pony-necked beers in their puffy, oven mitt-sized fingers without spilling a single drop.

Sure, Kenny, Johnny and Derek won $75K each, but we all know the REAL story is that visor-wearing vixen who came out of nowhere to take Paula's spot on the winning boat -- and row her way to victory. So how'd Ev go from challenge misfit to Island royalty? We're not sure, but we're thinking it involves some powerful combination of luck, determination and the fact that she's just much, much better than everyone else at, well, just about everything. Anywho, here's the 30-second recap of Evelyn's amahzing journey to the top.

Real World/Road Rules Challenges are like potato chips — once you start, you can’t get enough. Which is why I’ll be sifting through the ‘Challenge Dailies‘ each afternoon to make sure you’re getting your fill of the crazy castaways. (Tough job, I know, but somebody’s gotta do it!)

Sad news, folks! Since today is The Island's grand finale (Omigod, who's gonna win??) this is going to be your last-ever Challenge Daily. And we figured what better way to end than by showing you a sneak peek from tonight's mafia-sponsored final faceoff (which appears to be a "Who can hold their breath the longest underwater while holding free weights?" competition). So check out Ev, Dan, KellyAnne, and Johanna 's pre-faceoff faces (Spoiler: They're all Nervous Nellies!) and tune in tonight to see who wins the final key and, of course, the grand prize.

Oh, and if you get scared for any of the Islanders, just remember T.J.'s oh-so-comforting words of wisdom: "If you're not breathing, and you're just floating there for at least five minutes, then we'll take care of it. It's all good."

Sure, Kenny told us that Johnny and KellyAnne started getting friendlier towards the end of the Challenge. And while we love the idea of a new Island couple (JohnnyAnne? Kelonny? Kelly Bananas?) so far, all we've seen them do together is gut a fish. But here they are, all cute and couply, lying in a bed and (pillow?)talking about Robin's social ineptitude!

Think this means Johnny won't be going after KellyAnne's key after all? We're not sure, but it's definitely worth a watch! (Bonus: You'll get to hear Johnny bust out the line, "Robin has an alliance with nobody. Not even her own brain.")

Things'll be getting kinda criminal around here come Saturday at 2pm when MTV hosts a special live event celebrating those who've been Busted (mostly for being idiots) and the officers who bravely took them down. Busted LIVE: Countdown to Lockdown will not only include an all-day marathon of episodes, but a live studio audience here in Times Square will partake in some of their own shady shenanigans. Think you could conduct an effective body search? Survive an interrogation? Resist stealing a fiver if it was JUST SO EASY?

Everyone from Busted alumni to New York's finest will be in the house to share in all the family fun, and in honor of the big day, we've gone ahead and listed our favorite busts of MTV history. Take a sweet stroll down memory lane...

1) Real World: Denver
Tyrie gets caught peeing in public... just outside the RW house!

2) Beavis and Butt-Head
B&B get accused of stealing money from the register at work and are forced to take a lie detector test:

3) The Hills, Season 4
Brody and Doug go down fighting in Vegas, baby. LC and the girls try to find them by frantically combing through the phone book and calling every jail in the neighborhood. LOL!

Two more criminal moments after the jump!

Being Kenny Santucci is not an easy job, especially on The Island. First, maintaining those boyish good looks can get tricky without the luxury of regular moisturizing and Ripped Fuel. Secondly, Kenny's constantly being approached for a free ride by each of the other castaways. They know he's got the power and influence to carry their sorry asses to a sailboat and ultimately win them $75,000. But all this pressure can be a burden on the self-proclaimed "Godfather" -- at night he tosses and turns over how to claim victory in the Freakiest Challenge Ever. Luckily, Kenny has a certain someone by his (bed)side to pet his head tenderly and remind him of his studliness. After all, behind every good man is a great woman...

All that said, Kenny basically thinks every other chick on The Island is clueless, Robin being the captain of their stupidity squad. Watch the clip below and see if you agree with Kenny's assessment of Robin's suckitude:

+ Is Kenny being too harsh on Robin or does she deserve his strong judgment? You tell us: Who's the biggest sucker on The Island?

Robin's been having a tough time of it lately. Last week, she and The Danimal's relationship imploded in front of our very eyes, and now everyone on the Island is starting to wonder whether she's a liability. Check out this doubleheader to see what you didn't see in the Robimal breakup, plus find out whether Dan sticks up for her when Paula, Dunbar, Johnny and Kenny discuss whether or not to save her a seat on the boat.
