Real World / Road Rules Challenge: Gauntlet 3 - NO spoilers!

[IloveDMB]

Am I the only one rooting for the rookies? I like to root for the underdog and frankly I'm tired of seeing the same old faces on the Vets team.

Plus, I had a teeny crush on Zach. I can't decide if I like him better with or without the curly hair. Sad to see him go.

I want Frank gone I know that much or Jillian. I'm sick of them both.

 

[Callie]

I'm rooting for the Vets because I am a fan of most of the people on the team. I don't like many of the rookies at all.

I'm so glad I found you guys, I have been watching RW and RR since "the beginning" , I know I'm dating myself here. I love all of those shows and the challenges are even better!!!!

PS- I love the Vets too!!!

I laughed when MJ called Frank a nerd. I like Frank, but it was funny that MJ said that because the clip that was being played along with the comment, well, Frank was being nerdy.

ETA: I'm 33 and dh is 38. I've been watching RW since the first season. Dh and I got married 8 years ago, and I got him hooked on the MTV RW and RR shows. He loves 'em.

 

[mandy200587]

MJ is from TN so was Brooke but I tend to ignore her.

 

[epfootballcutie04]

I was pretty disappointed with this one I was hoping for someone better, with how much they were hyping it up.

I was dissapointed too! I was thinking it would have been someone that was somewhat familiar with the challanges like Wes or somone like that (yet still be fairly new to the since it had to be a rookie player)... but still

I remember MJ being A LOT better looking back then too... maybe i dreamt it?!?

Ditto!! There's just something about him and his poodle hair

Same here.

Frank IS a nerd!!!!! I've never gotten his appeal!!

I really dislike Jillian. She is all about herself. And boy didn't what's-her-face get whacked!!! Ouch!!!!!

Has anyone noticed that Beth has been pretty quiet this season? They haven't focused on her much at all. Sad. I love to hate Beth!

 

[Mono~rail]

Frank IS a nerd!!!!! I've never gotten his appeal!!

Yeah. He is.

Everytime I see him or hear his name, I crack up thinking about him getting arrested for breaking into those frat houses and taking a dump on the floor. I know, I know. I'm immature.

The teams seem so unbalanced with the way the Veterans keep winning all the challenges. It didn't make sense to me why it wasn't cheating this past Wednesday night when the Vets didn't use the boards to push the Volkswagen across the finish line. If the boards didn't have to be used then what was the point of having them?

Even on the second challenge where they were pulling the platform and jumping off, the Vets still had the advantage because they could put 5 players on the platform, but only 3 had to jump off. The Vets had more people to pull while the last Rookie had to move the platform alone. How can they possibly win under those circumstances? Even on the pushing the car challenge, the Vets had more people to move the car.

CT looks much better to me when his hair is short, but he seems so mean that it is hard to find him attractive. I'm so tired of the Austin cast, and I think Danny and Melinda are annoying.

I think the folks that explained the rules were at fault on that one. I think it was Evan who asked if the car cannot touch the sand at all. He asked, it was ok. I don't think they cheated. They asked beforehand.

I think the rules should have stated the boards had to be used the entire game.

What didn't make sense to me was when a few weeks ago, during the blindfold challenge, the Rookies did not have to make a few people go more than once to make up for their lack of players. That's usually what happens in other seasons, etc. I'm pretty sure it was just a way to ensure that the Rookies would a mission.

That was what I thought too. What was the point of the boards if they didn't have to be used? Evan did ask before they started playing, and I was thinking then it was pointless to have the boards. No, technically, the Vets didn't cheat. It was just whacky rules that they used in their favor.

I had forgotten about the blindfold challenge. Dh and I were both saying that some of the Vets should have sat out to equalize the number of players. That's how Survivor does it. I know it isn't Survivor, but it is so weird how things are unbalanced on the MTV challenges.

When it comes to the final challenge, I'm sure the Vets will win. Why can't they figure out though that they will each get more money in the end if they have fewer players? They are playing to win the battles when they should be thinking on how to best win the war. KWIM?

I'm not downing the show because it is one of my favs. This is a fun discussion because only dh and I watch it so I don't get to talk about it with others.

I can't stand Tory on the rookies, I didn't like her when she was on RR.

I thought that was wierd too about not letting players sit out for the blindfold challenge.

I also think the Vets need to get rid of some of their people, or they won't get alot at the end if they win.

Wow, I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed by Frank and Jillian! I liked Frank on RW Vegas but I never liked Jillian and now I can't stand either of them. Neither of them have personalities and the way they cut themselves off from the rest of the team was pretty stupid. And they're the all-time most boring hook-up in RW/RR history! They need to go.

 

[babieemelly]

The whole rookie team really hasn't had much drama yet! They spend so much time on the challenges that we don't see much of what's going on behind the scenes. The only one ever starting trouble is CT and I CAN'T STAND him anyway!

I remember MJ being A LOT better looking back then too... maybe i dreamt it?!?

Me too! I never loved him but I remembered him being pretty cute... now he just looks trashy

 

[tinkerbee]

I agree I was excited when they said MJ then they showed him and I was in shock. He looks alot different.

Oh, they know it....many of the guys on the Vets have already talked about and about throwing missions to get rid of some of the girls. And the girls have said that if they do, the girls will start throwing the guys' missions.

I can't believe that the girls didn't notice Danny running around in circles last night - I was literally laughing out loud ahaha. Glad the Vets are starting to get rid of some of the girls that really don't do anything for the team.
