But what about CT!!! I noticed the show got jeers in the TV Guide for not booting CT after his fight at the bar, then pushing his roomie who was only trying to help.

Amchess, I can't believe CT's in the mix either. I can see some major drama starting cuz of him. I agree with TV Guide, they should've thrown CT off, he clearly punched a man in the face, so what the MTV rules are they get kicked off unless they hit someone unrelated to the show?

Wow, Coral and Mike again???? so many of the same people, I still think the best season and group had to be Jamaica.

Thanks for the info Wilson, I watched all those seasons, don't know why I thought RW did so much better, it seems to be about even.

I like Timmy. I'm looking forward to him adding some humor to the show.

zzzzzzzzzzz for most of them. Thankful Melissa isn't in this batch and Adam from Paris. Would love to see Ruthie compete again; she's awesome! Trishelle will always be polarizing.. kind of like casting the husband and wife but no predicting who she'll be in bed with until the season starts. The Paris people are inevitable but.. what a huge yawn.

Actually, I thought I heard that Melissa is on the next challenge. We'll see. I don't mind; I like Melissa.

As for Trishelle, I've heard she's moved on from Mike to Ace, but that's just a rumor I read over on TWOP, so I can't confirm its accuracy. They seem like an ideal couple in some respect: both Southern, shallow and a little dim.

Now I heard that Ace was dating Mallory.

Sarah made a key mistake in that mission...She should have put the cat in the pockets of her suit, or even put in her teeth. You don't hold something in your hand if your going to have to climb down...they may not have won the average even without the penalty, but she wouldn't have been blamed.....she's lucky she's still there.


oh....Surreal life 2 with Trishelle starts 1/11.

RW won a challenge for once.

Trishelle and Sarah went to the Gauntlet and did the puzzle challenge. Trishelle lost.

Mamie: This mission was: two at a time (One from each team), players went up a rotating ladder which was getting blasted with firehoses to reach a stuffed cat. They then had to bring the cat back down to the bottom. The team that had the best average time won, the fastest person on each team got immunity for this round. RW won, because two RR people violated the rules (Sarah dropped the cat, another RR missed touching some rungs (you had to touch each rung),and the penalty was those two got the worst person on their team's time plus two minutes automatically. Sarah went last for RR, and it was pretty hopeless with the average anyway (the first penalty put them about 5 seconds down in the average), but dropped the cat, and, fairly or not, she was blamed for the loss and voted to the gauntlet...she wasn't too happy about it, and now is swearing revenge since she's staying (and according to rumors, she gets the best revenge....she makes it to the end and gets a share of the money and at least one or two more RR's don't).

Trishelle and Coral were the two main people that were thought to go for RW, Trishelle was finally voted in (and then lost, even though it was the same challenge she had won earlier when she was up), but there was drama because a lot of people on RW thought Mike was trying to protect Trishelle because at the time they were dating, especially in Coral's eyes.....

Good for Sarah! I hope that the rumors are true! I didn't care too much for her when she was on Road Rules but I like her now. They have just unfairly put her in the Gauntlet too many times because she doesn't fit into their partying clique. So good for her!

Just to let ya'll know, they are having yet another Gauntlet marathon tonight. It starts at 7pm central time. From the first episode, on. Maybe something to watch while your food is digesting. I know I missed a ton of these episodes and will be watching!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

and again there was suspect editing....According to TWOP, which got it from the MTV boards (from a participant), two things that were assumed to happen didn't.

-It looked like, to make it fair, 2 RR people sat out the last mission. Didn't happen. Everybody played. The thing was, because of high winds making it too dangerous, they had to do this mission over 2 days, so the two people who looked like they didn't go for RR actually went on day one.

-It also looked like Sarah went last.....Didn't happen. Sarah actually went on the first day, and that one was shown....again, it was edited to make it LOOK like she was last....

Melissa mentioned in the last challenge that things were constantly being shown out of order for drama's sake. Norman said that on his site too. Seems like MTV doesn't care a bit about showing what actually happened, go figure.

They just edit it for drama's sake. It makes you wonder about these "reality" shows that we watch. How much is edited to look a certain way and make you feel a certain way for these people and they could be totally different than what we think.

yeah....I have a feeling that this last win for Sarah puts her in the money round, as the info I've read about this says guys are eliminated the rest of the way (and she had the right to say that the cake was a lame peace offering...If they really want to make it up to her, tell her no one will vote for her from now till the end)....so they seem to be transitioning the storyline from Sarah being put up all the time to the guys vs girls split, especially since only 2 girls are left on the RW team....since you saw the beginnings of it tonight.

Well, what I saw tonight sucked.

Laterrian should have gone to the gauntlet.. probably last week as well.

And yeah, of course last week they edited it to look like Sarah "lost" the last pairing, but even if she had been in the last pairing, she was competing with a guy and she and Laterrian would have had equally bad scores, so it wasn't just Sarah who lost it for them.

And Laterrian really wimped out this time.. should have fessed up. Even if he really thought he didn't knock Sarah off, he still fell in first..

In the world of reality television, what does it mean when in the previews for next week they show guys talking about voting off all of the girls?
It means that a guy is going to the Gauntlet.

I hear now that while Sarah does make it to the money round, she will get sent to the Gauntlet one last time...and beats a RW guy.

Too bad she doesn't just win the competitions and get that lifesaver thing.. that would foil them..

Sarah's really not a good competitor until she gets into the Guantlet. She seems able to really pull herself together for those. If she were able to do that for the regular competitions, she would be by far the most valuable woman there.

Tell me what other female/male is better than Sarah.

She has proved herself over and over. I don't see any other person jumping at the chance because of their abilities going to the gauntlet.

Sending the same person more than 3 times should give that person a pass until another has been in that position.

Csnnog, I think Sarah is just a victim of circumstances.....She was edited very poorly in her RR season as the inept weakling who can't get along with anyone, and remember, she didn't even apply for RR. She applied for RW, but she was under 21 at the time and it was the Vegas season, the producers wanted her, but she couldn't be on RW because the castmates on that show (because of the casino jobs) had to be 21 or over. So they convinced her to be on RR, and she was just unsuited for it...And even now she's edited to be hard to get along with, for good or ill. I think if she had been on RW in the first place, she probably would have been edited better (and it seems like she's made more friends on the RW team than on RR...the only RR person who supported her this ep was Cara, who has something in common with Sarah I believe...both of them were voted out of their RR seasons)....they pick Sarah as a target because of what happened during her saeson, and her inablility to get along with the "leaders" of the group. But like I said, while she goes to the Gauntlet one more time, she apparently makes the money round....There are 3 more people eliminated supposedly (one challenge is scrapped because of production delays), and all of them are male based on spoilers.


here's a tidbit or two from the next Challenge coming up in January or February.....

It's called "Inferno"...and apparently the vote-off process is "more grueling than the Gauntlet"

The teams from TVTome are:

Real World:
Syrus (Boston)
David (Seattle)
Julie (New Orleans)
Mike (Back To New York)
Coral (Back to New York)
Trishelle (Las Vegas)
Ace (Paris)
CT (Paris)
Leah (Paris)
Mallory (Paris)

Road Rules:
Timmy (Season 2)
Holly (Latin America)
Veronica (Semester At Sea)
Katie (The Quest)
Kendal (Campus Crawl)
Darrell (Campus Crawl)
Shane (Campus Crawl)
Abe (South Pacific)
Christena (South Pacific)
Jeremy (South Pacific)


Julie is going to be a big part of this Challenge....She is accused of stealing at some point, and gets into a big fight with Coral...it gets to the point where she asks Coral if "she wants to step outside".....
