Real World/Road Rules Challenge - THE RUINS - Wednesday, September 30, 2009 MTV 10pm :happytv:

Twenty-eight competitors have been tapped to compete in an exciting new Real World/Road Rules Challenge. We're pitting grizzled and greedy former winners, henceforth known as "Champions," to do battle against a team of equally greedy newcomers and past Challenge losers we've dubbed "Challengers." They will meet in exotic Thailand to see who can face the rigors of The Ruins.


Although players will compete at teams, they will also bank winnings into individual bank accounts as they compete in nine intense challenges and a thrilling finale. There is $$300,000 up for grabs and, as always, the players will do whatever it takes to get their cut of the Challenge prize.


Not everyone will last until the end to earn a share of the wealth. After each weekly challenge, one man and one woman from each team will compete in "The Ruins" -- a head-to-head battle between two competitors, where one man and one woman will be eliminated. The winner of "The Ruins" not only stays in the game, but pockets the loser's bank account, making them richer -- as well as a bigger target in the eyes of the other players. The loser? Well, the loser goes home flat broke.


Avoiding "The Ruins" depends on how well teams do in the challenges. Before each challenge, each team will nominate six people -- three men and three women from their ranks -- to be eligible for "The Ruins." After every challenge, the winning team will split $$20,000 evenly. Then, the winning team's lucky six nominees will be "the match-makers" who will select which man and woman from each team will be sentenced to "The Ruins." The selected men will have their "Ruins" competition and so will the women. The losers will be sent packing.


As with any Challenge, the competitor who plays their cards right and forms the best alliances will find they have the power. Those who do not may just find themselves in "The Ruins." However, in Thailand, going into the elimination round is a risk that could pay off, as the winner ends up acquiring their opponent's bank account.


Only the players that make it to the end will walk away with the cash they've banked and compete in the finale. Plus, the winners of the finale will earn an additional grand prize!


Ultimately, friendships will be put to the test, hearts will be broken and battles will rage -- both on and off the playing field -- as players do whatever it takes to be crowned the winners of The Ruins!

What, no CT???? :rotfl: Think he burned his last bridge on the last challenge!

I'm definitely tuning in looks like a great one!!! popcorn::

CT is the biggest idiot / tool of RR/RR Challenge history, he's gotten into fights and kicked off on the 1st episode no less than 2 times maybe more, and kicked off on I think all of the challenges except maybe one. What a complete moron, baffoon, neanderthal, knuckle dragger. I cannot believe that sweet little girl that had cancer hooked up with him, Can't remember her name right now, but what a mis-match that was :confused3 talk about beauty and the beast, more like beauty and the neanderthal.

I read somewhere that CT was or has become a LIABILITY for MTV. That they cannot get insurance for him.

CT's ex was named DIEM.
 
Oh I can not WAIT for this. Such the guilty pleasure show, and SO bad for my horrible procrastination habit... :)
 
These shows are always similar but I cant stop watching them!!! Can't wait until Sept 30th :happytv:
 
I love the Challenges! They are so much better than the Real World - even though Cancun was pretty good
 
I missed the first part what was the deal with Wes "Throwing" the challenge? Was he mad because his ex and her recent hook up are on the show or something? Are kenny and Johanna even still together? What's his problem?

I definitely missed CT getting kicked off the first episode. Every RR/RR challenge needs CT to start a fight first night, druken' loser that he is, that last fight with him and Adam in the last challenge was priceless. I'm going to miss that, but looks like Wes is here to more or less take his place, although Wes isn't quite the knuckle dragger CT is, although he does come across as quite the tool.
 
I just wish there was a list of who is dating who and who has dated who--it's so confusing!

I bet they couldn't. I think he would have eventually killed someone in one of his rages if he kept coming back. I don't get what Diem saw in him.
 
Is Road Rules even still on? I can't remember seeing a new episode of that in a long time. Remember when they Real World Road Rules Challenge was show vs. show? Now they mix it up which is probably better for ratings I guess.

I was sad to see the 2 go, that left last night (don't know if spoilers are a good thing here) The girl especially was someone I liked.

I would think we would be okay to talk about it now. I wanted the other 2 to go home too.
