Do we know that for sure? His best friend could have been one of the guys who got injured and couldn't be brought back.

That was heartbreaking, how Paul Bradley got sent out.

He was probably too embarrassed to come back. He really didn't look like he had any business on the show to start with.

All things considered, this has been a great start for the season. I hope it gets better. I like how they have been showing more training and less goofy house stuff. It was cool for Rampage to show up and talk with his team to get to know them.

I heard a statistic a while back that something like 80% of the population has some form of the Herpes Simplex virus, it's just that only 50% of that 80% actually show symptoms (the sores). So, very likely, of the guys left in the house, at least one of them probably has the virus, so they're no safer than they were, really.

Having said that, I've never seen a breakout like that on someone's neck, and dude should have been on some Valtrex if he knew he was going to be in close proximity to other people for weeks on end.

All I know is I work adjacent to a preventive medicine specialist and he looks at this sort of thing (mostly NOT on the neck though) all day. What a crappy job

... but I digress.

Even if this guy was on Valtrex, he could still spread it when he has outbreaks... remember how he told the doctor it could spread from one side of his neck to the other? Yeah, it can spread ELSEWHERE on his body too... like under his shirt/shorts!... and the other fighters may never even know the dude was breaking out. He'd be sweating his cooties all over the mat. =(

With that said, War Riddle!

Sure, but as long as he didn't have an outbreak, which is what the Valtrex is designed to prevent....

My point is that had he been on the medication prior to the show, he might have saved himself the embarrassment and not cost himself a life-changing opportunity.
