I use to go to Colorado every year for vacation. Believe it or not, the altitude does wreck havoc on your body. We would only do light hiking around Rocky Mountain Natl. Park, and after a couple of miles, it felt like someone was standing on my chest! Even Rachel who is the most athletic female there was exhausted, and Cara looked like she was gonna die. I agree though, they should have left Coral, they would have ripped that course apart, and probably would have beaten them by 15-20 minutes tops. I'm still hoping that RW pulls it off, but MTV's not all that great on teasing and steering the audience to think one thing when it's the other.

I know that Sarah and Rachel have websites of their own. But does anyone know of any other members of the Gauntlet have one, and what they are? I would like to see Coral or Mike's if there is one. Thanks!

Good point about the smoking. They have been in Colorado for about a month now, right? So it's not like they just flew in for a weekend. The altitude does play a huge part and the smoking doesn't help. As someone who lives in high altitude, when I go down to sea level I can walk for miles without being out of breath. It's so different! By now they know about the altitude and should have paced themselves better.

That site has most of the castmember websites, except Norman's main one, which is normankorpi.com

Even RONNI was looking winded and she's usually done well in competitions.

If it would be good to lose people, they they should have started sending others to the gauntlet; can't blame Sarah for wanting to stay and for beating others in the Gauntlet.

Someone on the RW team DID allude to it not being so bad to lose one more, if they win, more money for each of them.

Unless the spider had bitten Coral before they started, I'd say the smoking hit her first, because she was winded almost from the first step. I wonder if the spider got her as she was rolling around on the ground. Anyway, I'm sure she was bummed.

So many of the guys are just coming off as UGLY in this.. I'll give Adam credit for doing some hustling and carrying, even being as abusive as he has been.

I want RW to win, just for Sarah and Ronni.

If RR loses, I bet Irulan will give Alton holy heck about his last decision, since they'd be sharing his winnings.

Wow, now that was some episode last night. I know the Real World guys are kicking themselves for not just keeping Theo. Poor Coral, they are in a total mess and Mike looks like he's gonna kill someone. That's so scary to think she can't breathe up there. I always root fr real world but in this case Road Rules deserves the win hands down, they totally and completely outplayed real world this whole season.

At least according to that blog site above, Donnell isn't listed as part of the Inferno (or whatever the next challenge is called). I think that it a good thing, if true. It does prevent us from witnessing the hook-up of Trishell and Donnell, tho. Snork!

The Inferno site is up at MTV.

http://www.mtv.com/onair/rwrr_challenge/inferno/

Donnell isn't going to be on there. Maybe she'll hook up with CT, or better yet Ace just to get some drama going. I just wonder how long it is between each filming. Just curious how Mike will react if she does hook up with someone else there.

Anyway, it airs Feb 2.

Trishelle has stated that she is dating Adam now so if he is there, that must be where it starts!

I wonder about what Mike thinks of Trishelle hooking up with Adam, the captian of the other team...maybe she is looking for the $$$!

SPOILER...........Rumor has it..that....


Frankie only lasts 3 episodes and then they bring in a guy

During this series Adam mentioned that he and Trishelle had dated in the past. He was saying something like...Trishelle is one of those people that makes you feel like you are the only person that matters (or some crap like that). It was in a hot tub scene when he mentioned it. It was one of the first couple of episodes. ** I THINK - UNLESS I'M IMAGINING THINGS OR HAVING PREMONITIONS! ;) **

That would suck if Frankie leaves early. I'm sure her life is difficult, being sick. I hope it's just a rumor.

Missy2, I love your kitty! She reminds me of mine who died three years ago.

I would not be surprised if she has dated Adam before. She also was with Abe from what I have heard. I hope she finds a nice guy out of the MTV circle.

Is the rumor that she is doing Playboy true?

My understanding is that Playboy shot a layout with her but it never appeared in the magazine. They did, however, release a DVD called the Girls of Reality TV in which she and several other women from reality shows appear.

Hey Deesandy that is my kitty Missy! Sorry to hear about your baby kitty :( It's so tough to lose a pet, they become a family member. Missy has a sister, Greta and she looks just like her but Gray. :) I swear they are mirror images, exactly alike but opposite!

In Melissa's "Real World" section of princessmelissa.com, there is a great rundown of what happened to Coral in this week's episode...

I have a question - what do all of these Road Rulers and Real Worlders do for a living when they are not on these shows?

Missy2, I know a lot of them live in LA and are trying to break into show business. Those are usually the ones that show up for the challenges.

Many of them, especially the ones on more recent seasons, make a good amount of money on the college lecture circuit.

Thanks Kimmo. Gosh that is awful. Poor Coral, that was scary to watch, I mean, being tired is one thing but she was literally passing out, to not be able to breathe, how awful. I wonder if Mike felt bad after finding out it was a real medical condition, I mean, he was just refusing to let her go.

It seems to me that every on RW was still strong except Coral. I would have thought they could have left her and gained 10 minutes on RR. Possibly RR would have ditched their girls and it would have been the guys sprinting to the end. When Coral blacked out, that really should have been it. I thought it was very irresponsible of production not to step in. But then every thing I've read indicates that production was unfair and uncaring.
