ITA KC... I was thinking exactly that when Alton was talking to MJ and Jamie and I'm thinking how handsome MJ and Jamie are but they both have AWFUL hair styles, CUT YOUR HAIR! I'm screaming. Jamie is such a hot guy but he's ruining himself with to much hair and so is MJ BIG TIME, just don't get it...

Good show, loved to see SuperAlton at work, he's so amazing, love him love him LOVE HIM... oh how did Irulan let him go? That was so kewl of him to pick a gauntlet that Adam had a chance even though obviously there never was a chance against Alton, still, was very goodsportsmanlike for him...

The challenges have sure seemed wimpy this season though, so sexual! I mean enough is enough already... Glad that Derrick and Brad didn't come to blows, Derrick has a really bad temper and Brad does too, glad they didn't "go there"...

I think Jamie was really upset the way he was portrayed in his Real World season, when they made him look like this super clean cut, frat boy. So now when he does these challenges he shows up looking completely different from that image so there is no way Bunim-Murray can put him in that mold. If you remember he showed up to the first battle of the sexes with a full mountain man beard.

I won't give away the show because I hate to be Spoiled but... Oh my goodness could they have made a worse choice to go to the Gauntlet?
Arggg!! What were they thinking?

You're really peaking my interest here. I stuck with the Golden Globes tonight, so I didn't see The Gauntlet. I'll have to catch the repeat sometime this week.

Can't believe Ruthie is gone. I don't like Beth at all.

I'll bet the rookies are doing a little happy dance! Ruthie was the most competitive girl there & now she's gone. How would you like to have Beth as a team captain? It would almost be worth the team on purpose loosing next girl gauntlet mission to get her out. I wander how she will handle having power.

Whoa, cat's out of the bag! LOL I knew something was up with Beth big time by the previews they've been showing. I thought it might be a case of Beth talking the talk and not backing it up...but if she's team captain now...obviously something happened. I can't wait to see the show now. I think they first repeat it on Wednesdays, don't they?

Beth is now captain and guess what... she deserves it! They were idiots to put her in there and Montana was wrong in their argument. She let personal differences cause that disagreement and Beth was right, heaviest male sits out then heaviest female should, Montana admitted that she just didn't want Beth to get the exemption... well she didn't and she didn't need it!

It was sad to see Ruthie lose though, she tried so hard but it was just physically impossible, glad Beth didn't throw the challenge, she's where she belongs cuz her team put her there!

I was shocked and saddened that Ruthie is gone.

At least now we have drama to look forward to ;-)

And I agree, the "Veterans" cut off their nose despite their face (or something like that).
I've been rooting for the Rookies anyway. I hope Alton can stick around till the end.

I really dislike the way they are doing the Gauntlet this season. IMO, it sucks for them all the way around:
The Team Captain always will go to the Gaunlet (if team loses)
They have to chose to battle someone from their own team
The Team Captain is the only one that collects a prize

Regarding Jamie, didn't he or the voiceover say that he had just come back from some buddhist retreat or something of the sort? it would explain the look.......I thought I heard that the first episode and meant to look into it but never did.

Finally was able to catch about half of the last episode earlier today. Sounds like Montana and Beth apparently had some blow-up. What was it about? I didn't catch that part yet. I've never really had any feeling about Beth one way or the other. I think MTV likes her around hoping that some drama will come up. However, she did pull her weight this time (no pun intended here) and won the Gauntlet fair and square. The rest of team just seems bent on Beth "not deserving to be there." I hope that she doesn't continually taunt the others now that she is captain. If that happens, the Veterans will only have their sights set on getting rid of Beth rather than on winning the whole competition.

Beth is annoying. The producers only keep her around because she's bound to cause trouble with her gossiping.

KC, the Beth and Montana disagreement was all about the challenge. The challenge was a race around a track, pulling your teammates in a rickshaw. 2 members of the team were to sit out the challenge, the two chosen to not compete would also be exempt from the Gauntlet. The veterans chose to sit out Syrus, because he weighs the most. By this rationality, Beth felt she should get the women's exemption, but Montana argued that since Beth is a strong runner (apparently something Beth has bragged about), Beth should compete, not sit out. The team ended up sitting Montana out and having Beth compete. Beth performed very well, easily outperforming Robin (who also "ran" a leg...it was more like walked a leg...she lost the lead David had built for them).

Since the captain has to go to the Gauntlet everytime then they certainly deserve the prize.

There's not been any way for the other team members to win anything has there?!? I mean other than defeating the Captain.
I like it when the members get a gift certificate or TV if they get the fastest time or something . They work harder to get the prize.

Based upon performance, Robin should have gone to the gauntlet and we might not have lost Ruthie..
Hopefully the next time there is a women's gauntlet, Beth will go home.

Looks like a lot of "alliance" talk this week. Are they accusing Susie and Cara of allying with the Veterans??? Guess I'll have to wait and see tomorrow night.

I don't know if it worked this way on every season &/or every episode of the RW vs RR challenges, but the whole winning team won prizes in the past. Like they'd all get an MP3 player, or a Gift Certificate, or bikes, or something like that.
It was definitely during the "Battle of the Sexes 2" and "The [first] Gauntlet".
And I believe if you were booted out, you didn't get any of the money, but you still got to keep any prizes you won.

I wonder if at some point they'll start to offer "immunity" awards for the team member with the fastest time like they've done in the past. (ie: The Freshlook EyeSaver, Aztec LifeSaver)

I forgot all about those immunities. Hmm...I wonder why aren't doing that this time. Although I continue to watch, something still feels "flat" about this challenge to me this time.

Ace and that truck tonight...YIKES!!! That's all I'll say in case people haven't seen it yet.

I can't believe Ace forgot about the clutch?!? What southern guy doesn't know his way around a pickup truck??? lol

This Guantlet is flat. I think the main trouble-makers are gone. Even though we love to hate Coral, Veronica, Mike and others, they make the show interesting.

*yawn*
Hmmm.... well didn't we all know who was going to win the female gauntlet?
*yawn*
I'm NOT saying who for those of you that haven't watched it yet.

I don't like the way things are going for the veteran team. Derrick's the only person on that team I like and since he's captain his time there may be limited.
I don't really like anyone on the rookie team either. There's no back-biting or cat-fights (or rather not enough drama) when it's always the captain going to the Gauntlet.

i actually was glad to see that person go - at least beth is honest in how annoyingly spiteful she comes across ...

How about the look on her face when Derrick told her that she was "the meanest person I've ever met." Apparently there is NO middle ground with people where Beth is concerned.

Anyone else think Beth intended to blow that challenge so she could take out her rival? I know the vet's were considerably behind when it was Beth's turn, but she didn't even try. You would have thought she wouldn't have wanted to make her move so obvious. If any of the other vet girls crap Beth off she will prob. blow the next girl challenge to take them out too.
