The Gauntlet 2 begins on Dec. 5th on MTV. Anyone going to watch? I know that I probably will. With TAR and Survivor ending soon...I'll have something else to watch! LOL About the show: The tropical island of Tobago is the setting for the latest showdown between Real World and Road Rules alumni. This time around, it's "Rookies" versus "Veterans," as ambitious Challenge newcomers face off against seasoned pros for a total of over $300,000 in cash and prizes. Host--and pro BMX dirt jumper--TJ Lavin leads the teams through ever-more-difficult challenges, including the dreaded Gauntlet, where teammate battles teammate to avoid elimination. The Gauntlet 2 premieres December 5th at 10:00 p.m ET/PT. Courtesy of: http://www.mtv.com/onair/rwrr_challenge/gauntlet2/about.jhtml#

Wow, if you read some of their bios on the MTV website, these people do like to continue to "intermingle", don't they? Sounds like a soap opera! How many of these relationships have actually lasted?? The only two I can think of are Sean (RW-Boston) and Rachel (RW-San Francisco) and Judd/Pam (RW-San Francisco). Can any "veteran" fans think of anyone else I've forgotten?

The rookies don't seem like real rookies cause some have been in this comp before like Alton and Landon.

I'm in on this one. From the previews it looks like lots of meltdowns.

I think if you have been in 1 or less challenges you are considered a rookie. I can't wait to see what happens with Jo from San Francisco, they say she called the cops to have them escort her out because she didn't trust her roommates and I think that was on day one. I also can't wait to see the tension between Katie (RR) and David (Seattle). The story is that they dated for about a year and broke up just before this challenge.

I'll be watching. May not get to watch on Monday's, but that's great about MTV - you get more than one chance to watch. Does anyone else see a small resemblance between Katie & Lindsay Lohan?

I'll be watching! Yes Texasdeb, I see the slight resemblance b/w Katie and Lindsay Lohan... good catch! I gotta go to mtv now and see who's "playing"... I know I saw Ruthie in a preview.

Wowee! Now that's a cast! Can't believe David and Katie dated... she's SUCH A PSYCHO IMO... after her stint on Kill Reality where she was punching Jonny and going on and on AND ON about how she's so much better than Tonya (can we say insecure?) I realized the girl has issues. Well I don't think I saw Tonya in there thank goodness, I think Tonya needs a break after what she went through last Gauntlet... I ALWAYS love these shows better than RW and better than RR, putting this motley crew of reality "stars" together is always so much fun. And I don't blame any of them one bit for coming back over and over, I mean come on, they get to be on tv, get a nice vacay, get to hang with others their age and partay like it's 1999 and get a chance to win prizes and money to boot... I know I could get the time off work if I needed to... I say more power to them!

Montana always is a sourpuss of sorts. But at least this is just her second time onone of these. She'll be gone fairly soon. This is a social game, mostly and Montana never seemed to have great social skills.

I think Montana has been on maybe three. One year, years ago she was on one, where a reward was a trip to the Playboy Mansion, and she was pissed, because she saw this as a reward for only the Males in the competition.

Okay well it sure started out saucy! Can't believe how Jo is freaking out and why won't Ruthie get out of her face? Obviously Jo is upset and is getting more upset the more everyone's bothering her, stay away! Now she's calling the cops... she obviously hasn't actually watched any of these challenges or she'd know what she was in for. It all seemed pretty harmless to me and I am curious to know who exactly was hooking up. The previews look insane, wish I could wait and watch it all in a marathon but I'll suffer through it week by week... Am SHOCKED that Mike isn't there... also Coral, Veronica and Rachel... there actually is some new blood in there and some old blood, lol, good to see Mark and even Robin. Gotta say the veteran girls are kick a$$! Between Ruthie, Aneesa, ROBIN, etc. they will eat the rookie girls for breakfast, lol... loved the first throwing everyone off the raft challenge, Ruthie is an animal and I love her!

Ruthie sure has come a long way since Hawaii. It is always good to see her, and of all of them, she deserves her near icon status. But what is up with Aneesa's coif?

Dang I missed it. Ruthie is one of my favs. Aneesa's hair looks like crap.

I definitely could not have hung with that crowd, even in my youth. In fact, they probably would have annoyed me more in my youth than they do now. But Jo definitely looks like a head case behaving the way she is. Yo Jo, wait until they are all passed out and then pack and leave - far less drama all around. Of course these people are not selected based on their good judgement in de-escalating drama.

okay, I did watch this .... umm ... these people are freaks, lol .... the challenges look good, but the recreational time, yikes ... I must say, though, that I am disappointed in Alton from the previews

I don't know exactly how to explain it, Spangs. I've interacted with Alton on another site and he seemed so much more mature than what I've seen of him on this show.

I LOVE Alton, was shocked to hear him and Irulan broke up, sad. He looks great and he did a great job winning team leader, of course now he's stuck going into the Gauntlet every time but I hope he does well. I didn't notice any bad previews re: Alton, but I do expect some wild stuff and he's single now to boot!

An interesting twist this time. The team captain ALWAYS goes into the Gauntlet (when the team loses), and the captain stays the same until he/she loses. That sucks. I wonder how they will chose the new team captains? I don't even know a lot of the rookies. I never watched RR (except the one with Veronica). So the only RRs I know are the regulars of the RR/RW challenges. Maybe because Mike, Theo and Coral participated in the "Battle of the Reality Stars" they decided not to do this? I can't believe Rachel &/or Veronica aren't part of this! Have they ever not been part of one before? Thank goodness that loudmouth (can't think of her name right now, but was tight with Rachel & Veronica the last time) isn't in this one. She gave me a headache. And I can't believe Cameron came back. She wasn't even into doing the challenges last time. She was only into the partying. She probably won't last. I was also pretty sad to hear Alton and Irulan broke up. they were together awhile - weren't they? IIRC, they moved in together right after their RW LV. I don't know Jo, but she really seemed to overreact. I think Ruthie was buzzed and why she was "close talking" and persistant with Jo.
