This season is different, because it's 12 RW/RR alumni against 12 fans (the "fresh meat")....It's in Australia this time...

Does Derek do, like, EVERY one of these? I just started watching a few 'seasons' ago, and he's been on every one of them.

This upcoming one will be interesting for me, as the RW Austin folks will participate, and Austin is the only RW season I have ever watched (well, most of it, anyhow...).

Wilson I haven't looked at the site yet, but I think each veteran is paired with a newbie/fan and they work together as a team.

Thank goodness Derrick and Coral are going to be on this one! They are both competitors that want to win unlike some of the cast members that gave up rather than do the Gauntlet last season. I was surprised they just gave up instead of trying to win.

Yes, Tonya was moaning on one of those MTV True Life shows ("I'm a Reality TV Star") of how sick she was of doing this type of stuff. Then the footnote at the end of the show said that she had just started filming another challenge!! LOL Whatever pays the bills.....

I didn't realize that Jacinda Barrett had become such a well-known actress. I do remember her from The Real World, right?

Interesting that one whole team is not only new but has no RW experience plus we have the four new to the challenge from Austin but they come in the form of two couples, so they are likely to be targetted.

Jacinda was on RW London and at that time was a model and did go on some shoots. She was wanting a change at that time.

They had a preview tonight.. I'm sure that will repeat often before the first episode.

Ok their not on the challenge, but I saw Veronica and Rachel at a restaurant in North Miami Beach Friday. I was walking up and I said wow that girl looks like Rachel and when I went inside and out walks Veronica. I didn't realize how short they both were and Rachel has the smallest waste I ever saw! They were sitting outside eating with their small dog, must have been a Shitzu or something. It's funny I think it was only me and the 5 teenage girls in front of me who recognized them, LOL. I felt too dorky to actually say anything to them and I assumed they were tired of people talking to them about the challenges that happened years ago. It's always weird to see someone in person that you watch on TV.

The latest Vanity Fair (with Anderson Cooper on the cover) has a one page picture of Jacinda with her dogs, Lucy and Legend (good to see she still has Legend, who she got while on the London RW) and a half page recap about her.. NO mention of RW! Page 136 if you want to take a quick look without buying the magazine.

well that was interesting....
for those who missed it, I'll give you the bare bones of it without any major spoilers (since itll repeat endlessly this week)

-they didn't know it was 2-person teams until after they got there...the alums had to choose a partner of the opposite sex based on a random draw for order, but they did get a little info based on some tests the FM did (speed, endurance, and knowledge based...that is important).

-They eliminate till 4 teams are left, those 4 compete for $250,000.

-they do 2 challenges per cycle. The first challenge is for immunity and the right to choose the first team to go to "exile" (the elimination).

-After the first challenge, the team who won and the team picked leave the room while the others vote on the 2nd exile team..and yes that means it's political (the early part of the season looks like it's the Austin RW alums-who are in their first challenge-against the other alums-who think the Austin alums haven't earned ithe right to stay yet)...

-Did I mention it's an ORAL VOTE???

-The 2nd challenge is important for the exile teams...win that one, you're pardoned, and get to pick your replacement (which cannot be the team who won the first challenge). In some cases, winning also lets you decide the order of play in the following challenge as well.

-The exile is basically a race. They have to take themselves from point A to point B.....carrying in bags an amount of weight equal to the weight of the luggage they brought with them (which can be a huge disadvantage for one team or another)...Along the course are two puzzles (this is where the intelligence tests come in). They're optional, but if you solve them, you get a reward, which they don't know what it is til they solve them. (these might change, but one test had a "minute off your time"; the other was "get in the car next to the puzzle and go directly to the finish"). Both team members must cross the line together with all the weight bags- but it doesn't matter how much one person or the other is carrying. Winner stays, loser goes.

-One more thing, which is going to be crucial for the first few times they do this...The others don't know what exile entails (they have to leave before the challenge, and don't know who won until they get back to the house and a car pulls up with the surviving team)...So if the winning team this time gets sent next time (which might happen, because of some bad strategy in trying to manipulate the vote), they'll have an advantage since they know how it works....

-and yes, the crazy antics are there too (the first episode had paper being stapled to something that shouldn't be stapled...)

it's gonna be a good season if the rest of the eps hold up...

Coral had better hope she and her partner keep winning...I don't think she'd survive the exile race based on her past record in challenges (IIRC, she's lost in the finale of 2 challenges which were similar races; granted, one of them wasn't her fault because of a medical problem)...

and Tina had also better watch it...The Austin crew still have 4-6 votes right now (4 if one of them wins or gets nommed next challenge- 6 otherwise), which is a pretty large block of votes, even if it's not a majority....a split vote could hurt her.

What about Austin Danny's childish temper tantrum after he didn't win that 2nd challenge. I thought could he be any more childish.

Cause he knew either him or his friend were going home that day, plus if he lost, Melinda would be crushed...so in the short-term, out of the three remaining Austin teams, one has the bullseye on their backs (tho knowing what the elimination entails can be a advantage for at least the next round should they have to go back, and I like the strategy about lying about the details), the 2nd now probably doesn't want to be there (so Melinda's partner is going to have to pull up the slack, because I could see a subtle sabatoge by Melinda so she can get eliminated), and the 3rd is now guilty by association..
