Real World: Hollywood: My thoughts

Alright, so raise your hand if you want to slap Greg hard across the face.

*Rises hand with countless others*

Alright, raise your hand if you want to slap every person who actually voted for this ass-clown to be on the show.

*Rises hand with others*

Greg has to be one of the most annoying cast member in Real World History. Ever. Seriously. Beth has NOTHING on the annoyingness of Greg. The rest of the castmembers are pretty... well generic yet interesting.

It seems that with every season, these cast members are becoming less and less... well beliveable. Let's be honest here... if you walk out onto the streets, do you see any girls that look as good as Sarah or Kim? If you walk out onto the streets, do you A LOT of guys walking around with HUGE muscles like Joey?

I don't.

On a different subject, how ignorant does Kim has to be. "Don't get ghetto." Is she serious? "Blackville?" She actually said "Blackville." Yeah her parents brought her up well.

Dave reminds me of Abe from Road Rules South Pacific.

In my opinion, Bri isn't all that drop dead beautiful.

Sarah, on the other hand, is.

In depth look at the Final Challenge

Okay. The Final Challenge of The Gauntlet III was quite... shocking.

Think all the way back when Johnny was being sent into the Gauntlet. He said that Eric would be their biggest anchor, someone who couldn't cross the finish line. Eric replied back that he was no quitter and he doesn't go down.

Alright... so Eric apparently lied.

Or maybe he didn't. Maybe he really thought he could finish the final challenge. As some one who has seen countless Final Challenges, I knew deep down Eric would have trouble finishing it.

I mean look at the final challenge in Battle of the Sexes II... they jumped out of a freaking air plane. Imagine Eazy-E doing that.


The Veterans have no one to blame but themselves. Eric seems to be a great guy with a great sense of humor. But he's not the perfect competitor.

The Veterans must be kicking themselves in their asses for voting of Johnny... Imagine if Johnny was in the fina Veteran team in place of Eric. The Vets would have had a MUCH faster pace and easily over take the Rookies.

Bottom line is this: The Veterans... didn't think like Veterans. It's almost laughable that guys like Kenny, Evan, Eric, Casey, and Diem are true "veterans". No, no. They're not! True Veterans are Veronica, Rachel, CT, Brad, Robin, Katie, Coral, Beth, Eric Nies, Mark, Ruthie, Jisela, Annessa, Timmy, Darrel, The Miz.... because they know how to play the game.

These Freshmeat cast members... they're not veterans. And they surely didn't think like veterans.


Because if they did, Eric would have been eliminated the first male Gauntlet day.

Sorry for not updating!

MEANWHILE,

Congratulations to the Rookie Team for defeating the Veteran team!

The newest Real World Season

The 20th season of the Real World will be in... Hollywood.

Now from some whispers, apparently not one but two of the cast members leave and are in fact replaced. Apparently the cast have some sort of asperation in the entertainment world, weather aspiring actors or aspiring producers.

Should be fun season to watch.

Gauntlet III episode 2 Summary

Long over due but I'll eventually catch up :)


Before we actually begin of the episode, we get a run down of what happend last week on The Gauntlet III. Now onto the actual episode...

We open to Nehimeah and Beth sitting on a sofa. Nehmiah claims Beth has been following her around like "a sick puppy dog". Nehemiah tells Beth that her comments on the previous challenge, The Duel, was sickening. Nehemiah also tellsBeth she is far from his type and won't ever hook up with her. Evan, Adam, Rachel, and Kenny are present in the room and they clap for Nehemiah. Nehemiah has spoken!


The cast gets their first clue for their next challenge. Nehemiah does not want to send any of the girls home (Melinda, Johanna, Rachel are from his RW season and Angel has gotten close to him)

Frank decides to align himself with the decision maker on the Veterans team, CT.

This challenge is called "Screw you". You must pair with a teamate in this challenge. This is basically a huge obstcale course with two huge bolts that the male/female duo must "screw" in order to advance. The rookies have to send a male twice because they're down one male (Alex got sent home). The winning males team gets a ZOOM media player, females save from the Gauntlet.

The veterans are nervous because the Rookies have paired Male/Male while the vets did Male/Female. First up for the Vets is the team of Ev/Kenny and for the Rookies its Nehiemah/Derek.

Ev and Kenny basically blow Nehimiah and Derek out of the water shockingly enough. Ev really must be a man at heart.

Other pairings:

Frank/Tyrie
CT/Diem
Robin/Brad (shocking)
Ryan/Tyler
Paula/Johnny
Tori/Jannel
Beth/Danny
Melinda/Johanna
Evan/Coral
Jillian/Rachel
Eric/Katie
Zach/Brooke
Adam/Casey
Derek/Angel (Derek had to go twice)

  • Tyler and Ryan catch up to the vetrans. Tyler notices that he and Ryan, the two gay guys, smoked the competion.

  • Coral under-estimated the dificulty of this challenge...

  • Frank says that Brooke looks terrible out there.

  • Adam and Casey clear the course and secure the win for the Veterans.

Winner of challenge #2: Veterans

The veterans deliberate on which Rookie female will enter the Gauntlet. The Veterans are protecting Brooke from the Gauntlet. They select Jillian to enter the Gauntlet. Jillian feels she was voted in because she is the strorngest of all the females. Jillian wants to face Angel in the Gauntlet and the Rookie team agrees.

The Rookie deliberation is a mess. Tori calls out the team, saying she is hearing of alliances forming. Janell calls out former KeyWest roomie, Tyler, saying she has heard he has alligned himself with Coral. Tyler responds by saying he is not stupid enough to be in an alliance with Coral. Frank is called out by Tyrie, who says he has heard Frank has aligned himself with Jillian. Frank heavily denies this. What's funny is that no one mentions the 'Austin Alliance.'

Female Gauntlet #1: Angel vs. Jillian.
Gauntlet: Ram it Home *You basically push a huge object and in the process you push your opponet back. If their body touches the wall, they lose.

Jillian almost easily over powers Angel. However, after a few moments Angel looks like she is about to pull of a huge upset as she pushes Jillian back. But it was not meant to be as Angel becomes tired and Jillian pushes her backwards for the win.

Winner: Jillian

Zach discusses with Ryan that they need to win. Meanwhile, Adam tells Katie and Eric that the Rookies cannot win, that they have planted a seed into every member of the Rookie teams mind.

Here is the debut scene of the Frank/Jillian relationship. They are watching a movie, laughing. In a confessional, Tyler procliams them the worlds most boring couple.

In a confessional, Beth says she feels that the Veterans are bound to have a trian wreck...

In a confessional, Adam says he's never been on a challenge with so much sex. Hook ups left and right here, kiddies.

Outside, Tyler tells Casey that he has a huge crush on Ryan. Tyler says that despite Ryan is not his type, he still has a crush on him and he just wants to "touch him."

The cast gets a new clue for their challenge.

Outside by the pool, Tyler and Ryan talk. Tyler tells Ryan about his crush for him. Ryan says he will not lead Tyler on. The farthest they will go is drunk making out. Ryan says this is a huge blow to Tyler's ego because he useually gets what he wants, however, Tyler won't get Ryan.

The next challenge is called "Roped in". Huge swing in the middle of a circle sand pit. One male will be on the swing and the rest of the team will swing him towards six wooden puzzle slots. The object is to retreive puzzle piecesand place them in the correct slot. The females of the winning team will win a camer, the guys safe from the Gauntlet.

Adam will be the Vet male on the swing, Ryan the Rookie male. (Both the lightest on their respect team).

Adam is doing a great job nararating the Vets on where to swing him. They two teams are pretty much neck and neck but the Veterans pull out a win.

Winners of challenge #3: Veterans

Tyrie and Derek are extremely pissed off. So pissed that Derek throws his gloves and shouts "I'M SICK AND FUCKING TIRED OF LOSING!" Great moment there...

Ryan cannot be protected from this Gauntlet because he was protected on the last male Gauntlet. A new revelation in this challenge: If you were chosen to be safe from the Gauntlet, you cannot be safe on the next Gauntlet day. Beth says this puts a damper on the Veteran's strategy because they planned on saving Ryan and Brooke every time (both the weakest).

During the male deliberation, Johnny decides they should send it Tyler... Johnny says he still feels angry at Tyler for what occured on the Duel (Tyler sent Johnny home).

The Veterans decided to protect Tyrie. They decide to send in Tyler into the Gauntlet. (Johnny was hilarious in how he announced Tyler entering the Gauntlet).

Tyler and Johnny have an arguement. Tyler acuses Johnny of not sticking up for him and also goes onto say that he needs the money for school. Suddenly, here comes Jannell , who tells Tyler that this is not a chairty event and that Tyler is acting like a pussy. She also adds that he should not play this game personally.

On behalf of Tyler, Brooke announces to the Rookie Team that Tyler wants the team to vote who he faces in the Gauntlet. Frank feels that Ryan should go into the Gauntlet for the good of the team. However, the Rookies decide that... FRANK will face Tyler in the Gauntlet.

Gauntlet #3: Frank vs. Tyler
Gauntlet: Force field (What Alex/Nehmieah competed in the first Gauntlet)

Frank uses sound strategy by planting himself into the sand while Tyler wastes his energy. Frank inch by inch makes his way across the finish line for the win.

Winner: Frank

In a confessional, Jannel says that it was Tyler's time to go.

In a confessional, Jillian says its easy to say goodbye to Tyler. She would much rather have Frank instead.

Ryan is actually pleased that Tyler is not here. He does not feel Tyler at all.

Frank and Jillian are in the pool. Frank says in a confessional he is happy to be hanging out with Jillian some more.

Evan says in a confessional that the Vet girls will have to be sent home.

Katie says in a confessional that if the Vet guys throw the mission on girl Gauntlet days, they will throw challenges on male Gauntlet day.

That is it for this episode! Be back with a review for Gauntlet III: Episode 3!

My personal favorite moments in Real World/Road Rules challenge history

Not in order but these are def. my favorite.

1. Aneesa vs. Cara - Gauntlet II
"Suck my dick, bitch!" Ahh who doesn't love a good old fashion shouting match? The creation of this fight really didn't involve Aneesa nor Cara. Cameran (Real World San Diego) decided she would forfit the Gauntlet to her oppoent, Kina (Road Rules Extreme). Annessa and the other Veterans (Beth, Robin, and Jisela) decided to call her a "quiter." Innocently enough, Cara decided to save poor Cammy, stating that Aneesa "didn't know her." That made Annessa snap, tell Cara she would "cut her with words." Meanwhile, Timmy (Road Rules) is standing by Annessa, mocking her hand motions and screams. That clown!

2. Ayanna sleeps in her uniform
"I SLEPT IN MY UNIFORM LAST NIGHT 'CAUSE I WANTED TO WIN TODAY!" Ayanna is crazy. Plain and simple, home girl is nuts. Now here she is, calling out the female "inner circle" that elected to vote her off the challenge. Scratch that, she didn't call them out; she basically ranted about extremely odd things. She apparently defended Tonya (Real World Chicago) when she over flowed the toilet. She also defended her when others said she was a phone hog. Then of course, the most famous quote of all about sleeping in her uniform because she wanted a victory. A grown woman... sleeping in her dirty uniform... because she wanted to win. Think about it.

3. Battle of the laser tag
"ELLLLLLENNNNNNN.... COME OUT AND PLAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" The Battle of the Sexes challenge was really a fun one to watch. It became a hell of a lot more fun to watch when one of the missions was... LASER TAG! Guys vs. girls in a laser tag mele! The girls held their own but were pretty much screwed. Ellen (Road Rules) was the last remaining girl with Jamie (Road Rules) awaiting for her to come out from hiding so he and the remaining guys team to tag her with the laser gun. Classic TV

4. The upset
"YOU WON... YOU JUST WON!" The Duel is also up there with one as one of my favorite challenges. This Duel in particular pitted Svetlana (Real World Key West) agaisnt Beth (Real World Los Angeles)... I pretty much gave Svet no chance at all. It appears to the viewer that Beth won, as she over powered Svet in the "Push Me" Duel. Svet gave up and began to cry, knowing she was going home... BUT WAIT ONE MINUTE! Host TJ Lavin DQ'ed Beth because she ripped the flag off the carabiner! Brad (Real World San Diego) nearly jumped on the crying Svet, proclaiming Beth had been DQ'ed and she was in fact the winner!

Happy birthday to Jillian of the Gauntlet III

Jillian (Road Rules Extreme, Gauntlet II, Gauntlet III) is probably out celebrating her birthday with the love of her life, Frank (Real World Las Vegas, Battle of the Sexes II, Gauntlet III). Happy birthday, Jillian!
