If anyone is interested MTV has a fantasy challenge game going on. It is similar to Survivor Deadpool. You pick a team of 8 past players and get points weekly for challenges and stuff. They are giving away weekly prizes and a car to the grand prize winner. The show starts on Jan. 28th.
mtv.com Just thought I'd pass it on.

CAUTION: SPOILER ALERT! LOOK OUT BELOW!!!

Did you watch? I managed to remember. Looks like an interesting series with 8 teams each from RR and RW. Each week, the top three scoring teams from each side become the "inner circle" and have to decide which team from their side to send home.

I wasn't surprised that Beth & John from the RW side got sent home. Felt bad for John, 'cause I always liked him. Beth, however, is a big prissy pain in the butt. All she ever did on RW or on the RW/RR challenge she was on before was whine. This time, the mantra was "I feel sorry for NOrman, he's so jealous of me!" BLAH! I won't miss her.

The RR side did surprise me,though. Their tactic of throwing off the RR team that was most personally threatening seemed pretty short-sighted. The RW group is more interested in having an RW team (any RW team) win. The RR group seems more interested in their individual teams winning rather than the larger picture. So, they voted off Yes and Veronica instead of Chris and Beleu (sp?). Now, Veronica always irritated the heck out of me on her season of RR. Especially with her sneaky little ways. I was willing to give her the benefit of the doubt, though, because it seemed at the end of her season that she actually grew up a little and realized that she was acting like a jerk. Now she's gone, so I won't get to see if that really happened. What was Beleu thinking bringing a 4-month-old child on this adventure? What were the producers thinking in allowing her to do that? It seems stupid. She's a volcano waiting to blow every minute (already got to see that once tonight). She does bring conflict, though, which I suppose is what the producers were thinking about.

Anyway, I like it so far!

Thoughts anyone????

Did anyone watch it? This show was so great! If you have followed all the past seasons, it makes it better than survivor because you already know all the people and their personalities.

I cannot believe that Belou brought her baby with her!

For the life of me I cannot remember Chadwick and Holly (the married couple) Everyone wants to get rid of them because they are seen as a voting block.

Stephon (SF) and Coral (NY) already got into a tiff.

There is some bad blood between the guy from the 1st NY season and Osama "Beth" Ladin (LA) and they hate each other.

The show is great and a lot of fun!

Max, we just posted at the same time. LOL! I have to agree with you.

I have a feeling that Belou just showed up with her baby and never told the producers she was going to do that.

Also, where was Flora? Usually she is a camera hog and I don't even remember seeing her.

But the good thing is that MTV will be constantly rerunning the show so we can rewatch it and pick up small things we missed.

Now tell me, who is Chadwick and Holly?

I just checked the mtv site.

This is the bio on Holly:

Original Season:
Road Rules 9: Maximum Velocity Tour
Best Known For: Freaking out in the woods and being a bit-- well, a bit mean.

Outlook: She is probably the best female athlete on the RR side. She's very committed and very aggressive. And don't make her angry--you won't like her when she's angry.

Previous Record:
(Out of 5 stars)

Crying: ***
Fighting: *****
Hooking Up: *****
Athletic Ability: *****

(Ratings are based on previous seasons and are relative to other RW/RR cast members.)
---------------

The only thing I can remember about her from this is that she freaked out having to spend the night all by herself on a camping challenge because she was afraid of the dark and she wasn't allowed to have her bible with her.

I checked out Chadwick also. He was the one that did the backflips for Piggy to cheer her up.

The RR teams want to get rid of the the married couple. But if they get rid of Chadwick, Piggy will go with him and I really like Piggy.

But at least now I undestand why Piggy was bad mouthing Holly. She traveled originally with Chadwick and probably figures that he could have done better. Meow.

I didn't much care for either Holly or Chadwick during their original seasons. Both a bit high and mighty for my tastes. :)

I like Piggy, too. She grew a lot during her RR and RR/RW Challenge experiences. I can't remember who Holly's partner is!

I was also surprised that Flora didn't get more camera time. Maybe she's trying to fly low for a little bit.

Maybe they are saving the best for last.

Max, if they will let us join the contest still, do you want to join it and be partners? This could be fun!

Oh, my.

I was going through the bios.

There are 2 Hollys: The Max Velocity Holly that is married that we do not like and the Holly from Mexico who is really nice.

Well, Mexico Holly is partnered with Josh. I couldn't remember him till I read the Bio. I really liked him from the show, but he bleached blond his hair and looks so totally different. He was the one that did the bull matador thing. He was such a sweetie.

I need to study all these people's profiles.

Grooch,
I'd love to, but I don't have the time to keep up. My February is booking up so fast,I'll be lucky to catch another episode before the reruns start! :)

I'll say this. If you wanna rack up points, put Jisela on your team! She cries at the drop of a hat, throws hissy fits often, and based on history will be all over whatever guy shows her the least little bit of attention (actually, showing attention isn't even a requirement). Heck, she'll be all over the girls if anyone dares her!

Beleu is a good pick for tantrums, but not so much crying or hooking up. I don't know how long she'll last, though.

Mike is a good pick for challenge points. He's a bull terrier when there's competition involved. Same for Theo.

Of course, Chadwick and Holly will be making out all the time, but that shouldn't really count, IMHO!

Count on Adam and Timmy to share bodily functions on camera, especially if Adam doesn't take his meds on a regular basis.

The best bet for refusing to participate is gone. Beth refused so many things in the RW/RR challenge she was on before, that it was ridiculous!

Flora is a good pick for backstabbing, nudity, hooking up, getting bleeped,and just about everything else. I think she can be a fierce competitior if she gets mad and determined enough.

It should be interesting, indeed! :)

I am so glad I actually heard a radio commercial for this on Sunday - otherwise I would have missed it! I thought it was really entertaining last night, and it's nice to see some of these people again (emphasis on SOME).

Random thoughts: I felt sorry for Beth on RWLA, because I didn't understand why everyone hated her. I knew she was annoying, but I thought people were too hard on her. I was wrong. After seeing her on one of the RW/RW challenges, and then last night...she has some serious denial issues. I'd feel sorry for her, but it's hard, because she is so IRRITATING!

Too bad Jon got dragged down with her.

Too bad also about Yes and Veronica, I like them both and thought the RR "Inner Circle"'s approach was a bit harsh (not to mention short-sighted...they better all hope they stay in the top three).

I have seen all seasons of RW but missed a few of RR - is Belou like the scariest woman, ever? I'm sort of afraid of her. And all her talk about her f*****g kid was charming, wasn't it?

Why must we see Jisela again? I can't stand Jisela. First her pathetic performance on RR last year, and then her skanky, bitchy behavior on RWNY2. Ick.

I can see everyone is gunning for Chadwick and Holly, but I hope they last a while. I liked Holly on RR, in my tradition of liking difficult females everyone else hates (Nicole on BB2, Amaya on RW8). As for Chadwick, I recognize the name, and I know that I saw that season on RR, because I remember Piggy very well. But I don't really remember anything about Chadwick, at all.

Timmy seems different. He looks bulkier, but also his personality seems more "on", and not in a good way.

I like the format, but I wonder if the number of contestants is sort of unwieldy. I doubt I'll get as much a chance to see people interact as I'd like, especially since they'll be voting off every week. I barely saw Flora and Elka! And I don't remember seeing Josh at all (though I saw more than I wanted to of his partner, Holly, who is the Holly that I don't like. Just something irritating about her. Wonder if she and Tara will fight over Dan.)

Any show with three guys named Mike on it is bound to cause confusion...

<<Wonder if she and Tara will fight over Dan>>

Oooh, good one! I completely forgot that they both liked Dan on different shows. Didn't they both say he was the perfect man? (Where they got that is beyond me) I hope they have a good catfight over him. I see Tara winning the slapfest and Holly walking around the rest of the time weeping. She is a pretty weepy person.

As to Belou, I think on RR/Europe she almost jumped out the castle window "threatening" suicide or something. And I think she had a horrible boyfriend at the time too. She was pretty unstabile, but I had hoped she would grow out of it.

I can see her and Flora in a fist fight.

I can also see Flora and Coral going at it too.

I'm loving this show. :)

I almost forgot.

The only one I feel bad for is Stephen RW/Seatle. I think it was such a bad experience for him in Seatle and I hope it doesn't happen again on this show.

And I agree with everything you said about Beth RW/LA. I thought she was given a bad rap on the LA show, but she didn't come acrossto well on this show or the other RW/RR challenge.

I'm sorry Yes and Veronica were ousted. I haven't seen all the RR shows.. Belou is amazingly unappealing on so many levels..

Jisela to me.. she's cute and she knows it, but so
self-centered and greedy and ready to fight.. interesting but unstable and, well, I really don't like her much.

I don't feel so bad for Stephen from Seattle.. he's already shown that he didn't "get" it since then.. and Lindsay seems to be an apologist for him.. Too bad because he might have redeemed himself here.. and.. he still may redeem himself. But he HAD to know that antagonizing Coral wasn't the best way to start.

Anyway this looks to be an interesting show... I'll be watching.

Seamonkey, good to see you posting again!

As to Stephen, it is painful to watch. It is like watching a train wreck about to happen. I have this horrible feeling of deja vou with him.

I think Jisela said she was an army brat in the show where she helped the bitchy girl (that liked Adam) across the river.

The problem with Road Rules: Most don't make as strong an impression on you as the RW members do, so it's hard to remember their names (some of them I can't even remember them) so you end up having to call them by their characteristics (the gay one, the black one, the the asian one, the slutty one) instead of their names when you write posts about them so people will know who you are talking about.

The "bitchy one" was Ellen (asian smoker) but I actually thought by the end she had contributed more than Jisela and was less of a drama queen. And Jisela's cavalier treatment of sweetie Malik (NYII RW cast) just sealed the deal for me.

From Jisela's RR I'd have rather seen Sophia (black lesbian) but I'm sure one major criterion for Fantasy challenge was "people who polarize people" thus Coral, Stephen, Beth, Flora, Veronica, Belou, Jisela, Piggy and any number of others :)

I've found on past challenge shows that some people who were problemmatic for me on their original shows end up shining through on the challenges but, alas, most stay true to form. I was hoping to see Veronica in a new light, but she's gone, and if she had hooked up with Jisela, I doubt if her 'tude would have been all that good. Too bad, since Yes was a cutie.

Ok, I can't even believe they'd let Stephan on another show!...he's awful and out of control! He's totally in denial. It was funny how he was saying that Coral is so unspiritual cause she's a •••••, while he is a very spiritual person. PPhhftt! Looks like he's learned nothing. As for Lindsay apologizing for him...let's face it, she's just trying to save her own a$$. I'd do the same. I'd be so mad about being put on a team with him where my fate is put into his psychotic slappy hands!

Mindy an interesting thing Stephen said about Coral. (I think he said it) That when Coral is in a large group, she zeros in on one person to pick on.

I think it might be true. They didn't show how the tiff started. But she did pick on Mike for almost the whole season of RW.
