He was a huge homophobe and misogynist. But I think he playfully struck Beth maybe... ? I actually watched this shit, but I was pretty young at the time and this is back when they put ugly people on TV, so give me a break.

...and just being a giant dick in general. He's one of the earliest reality TV, "I'm not here to make friends" tropes and was ten years ahead of his time, only in that the producers hadn't quite perfected the art of making the biggest jerk/shit stirrer in a reality TV show the most valued commodity.

I think the straw that broke the camel's back was continuing to be an asshole to the terminally ill Pedro Zamora.

Also, he was disgusting. Stuck his dirty unwashed hands in peanut butter jars, blew snot rockets everywhere, wasn't a fan of regular showers, etc. But the Pedro thing was the main complaint.

Look up his Wikipedia article; his birth name is David Rainey. Likes to drive drunk, beat women, stalk exes. An all-around gem of a guy.

He was one of the most watchable trainwrecks in the show's history.

How did they work?

Me too. One of my proudest Seattle moments was shoulder checking one of them as they were being filmed walking down the street.
