I feel like the challenges on this and the last RW/RR favored the RR team. RR shows are more physically challenging and RWers don't deal with a 'team' mentality until they do RW/RR challenge which puts them at a disadvantage. Now remember I'm only saying this show and the last show have been geared to be more physically challenging, not the ones before that. Before that there was more of a 50/50 mix, so the playing field was more level. These last 2 shows are almost like a RR show. Does that make sense? Anyone else think the same?

I agree, the challenges are geared towards team work. The entire concept of the Road Rules show is team work and missions. Real World's concept is hooking up and drinking.

RW has quite a few challenge veterans: Syles, Mike, Coral, Julie, David, & Treshelle. The Paris 4 ain't lookin too shaby (except for 1st evicted, Ace). CT is kicking butt & Malory is physically pretty strong. Leah has good stratagy - the bike/water winning method was her idea. The dif. here is all the drama that RW is used to from their other experience. RR plays better as a team because that was what they had to do in their prev. shows. RR does have a prob. this time with how the elimination works - they have just got to get rid of Katy if they want even a little chance of winning the final challenge. Christine could make this happen if she can just win the icon & put Katy in the inferno in her place.

So far these Inferno challenges have been all endurance type things - the physical strength aspect has not come into play as much as the mental strength. Since Leah and Katy were able to outlast Mallory and Christeena at the lifesaver challenge, they probably could do pretty well in the inferno, too. It sucks that the worst athletes are going to be the ones to stay to the end. But I do think this is the most fair way to select who goes to the inferno - the gauntlet with Sarah was just ridiculous and cruel.

not sure what you meant Missy in your post but .. Mallory and Christena both lasted the full 2 hours in the inferno and then went to the sudden death which i know i couldnt do for 5 seconds, and Mallory finally fell off the block.

although i do think katie should go, i am happy christena had the dignity to tell her that she was going after the lifesaver. I just dont know backstabbing like that (i know, its a staple of the show) and RR seems to do it all the time.

Christena is a nice person. Veronica can say that she wants Katie off because she is the weakest (and we all know she is) but I think her reasons are personal. Veronica justs rubs me the wrong way and I hope this time at some point, she has to leave.

It wasn't just Veronica that wanted Katie off - Timmy and Holly, who are pretty much acknowledged as the team leaders - were discussing it and agreed that they have to try to get rid of her. I don't blame them - Katie is a quitter. She made sure that she outlasted Christena last night and then she gave up because she "didn't care". She doesn't care if her team wins or not.

In other news, Julie's belief that she is one of the stronger females and needs to be protected until the end was once again proven false last night. She went out what - second or third? - of everyone on both teams. Coral and Leah, the two weaklings she thinks should be sacrificed to the Inferno before her, both outlasted her by quite a long time.

ETA: Veronica never bothered me much, though I understand why others dislike her. But you have to admit, she really is a good athlete - the strongest female on their team, after Holly, perhaps.

I think Julie said that Christena was a very strong player and should have been protected and not put up for the Inferno.

And Julie is in general one of the stronger women players.

Timmy and Holly discussed it after the others had talked to Christena. Holly wasn't to keen on the idea.

Seamonkey, I'm referring to last week, where Julie objected to Coral saying that Mallory and/or Julie should step up and volunteer. Julie's position was the she and Mallory were the strong girls, and should be protected, whereas Coral and Leah were presumably the weak girls who should be put up for the Inferno each time it's the women's turn.

The fact is, so far in the Inferno, Coral has outperformed Julie. I think Julie's mentally tough and fairly physically tough (usually, though she didn't do well this past show), but she tends to do stupid things and DQ a lot (she has two DQs so far, IIRC).

I am not a Julie fan (there's an understatement!), and I was just trying to point out that if she believes that she's so strong she should be protected (which is a valid strategy, though by no means the only valid strategy), she needs to back it up with performance, which she hasn't done so far.

According to sources both in the cast and behind the scenes, two Inferno couples were hot and heavy throughout the challenge: Mike (RW: New York) & Kendal (RR: Campus Crawl) and Leah (RW: Paris) & Darrell (RR: Campus Crawl), the latter being too adorable for words. Leah & Darrell are still together; Mike & Kendal, not so much.

What you didn't see is that Mike hooked up with another Road Ruler the first night. (Remember Trishelle's freakout? Mmm-hmmm.) And darling little Kendal, who is loved by all, is also, apparently, tongued by all. According to one insider, the blond cutie played tonsil hockey with not one, not two, not even three but seven castmates. Now, that's what I call sharing the luhhve.

http://www.eonline.com/Gossip/Kristin/Archive2004/040319b.html

Also in the giving spirit was Shane (RR: Campus Crawl), who "kissed nearly every girl there," according to one teammate, while Veronica (RR: Semester at Sea) was quite the busy little bee (-yotch?), per usual. She reunited with Abe (sans third partner this time) and spent one smokin' night with a certain Seattle Real Worlder.

Okay, twist my arm--it's David. And the bumpity-humpity episode was interrupted, accidentally, by Mormon mama Julie (RW: New Orleans), who is likely still serving penance.

Meanwhile, get this--even Coral, the show's notorious ice queen, melted into the arms of a certain Paris-ian prince. Très magnifique!

And speaking of très, I can't resist a little blind action on this one (though it's too steamy to name names): According to a fellow castmember, once during filming in Cabo San Lucas, a Road Rules chiquita asked a certain Real World banana to have a trois-some with a Mexican stripper, but the dude declined. Ay, madre!

As for the backstabbing, -slapping drama you've come to expect: You ain't seen nothin' yet when it comes to Road Rules' Katie, who shares a mutual disgust with her teammates (especially Veronica). Later in the game, when one seemingly loyal (and smoochy) Goldilocks feeds Katie to the bears, things get flip-over-your-bike-handles ugly.

It's Dave and Shane nominated.

Looks like Leah? is going to the hospital next week after a bungie jump competition.

I've seen a spoiler on another site proclaiming the winner of this season, but I just read a review on the Miz' site confirming it. Does anyone want me to post it here?

Seems like the Miz would get in deep, deep doo doo if he revealed the winner.

Maybe you could put in a link to the spoiler but not post it here? Mods?

Hmmm....

Lia had a panic attack for the bungie jump competition and was DQ'd costing RW to lose the 10 grand by 2 minutes. They took her to the hospital and Coral went with her. CT stepped up and took Dave off the hook. CT went against Shane on a cookies and milk eating then a spinning chair competition. The first one to barf goes home.

Shane barfs while eating 2 cookies and 2 glasses of milk in the second round.

Shane goes home.

Next week Coral and Julie get into it again

I never figured Leah would be that afraid of a bungie jump. Pityful. I still like her but that was a sad performance. I wanted RW to win this soo bad!
