I started watching during the last half of the original gauntlet and went from there. Man they were really good back then, so many of the cast members we love(and hate) were still doing a majority of them. Some of the recent ones haven't been as good as the old ones but I liked G3 so I have high hopes for this challenge.

Actually, on my iPod Touch I have the Gauntlet 2. It is so great to see an older, amazing Challenge.

For those who haven't watched the older Challenges, you have missed the greatest seasons. The first Gauntlet and Inferno by far surpass any of the newer seasons by lightyears. Nothing is better than Coral/Julie and Katie/Veronica and Julie almost killing her. Or Jo flipping out. Or Beth's clothes being thrown in the pool. To me the older challenges were amazing.

Any way of convincing them to release them on DVD?

Now I really wish I would have seen the older challenges. How did you get the G2 on your ipod?

iTunes has it. That is as old as they have. The bigger the season the more it cost. The Gauntlet 2 was 17 episodes and it cost me $30. But I would much rather have them on DVD for my personal pleasure.

It's so weird cuz I only know like 1/3 of the older cast mebers, so when I hear about them I naturally assume that I wouldn't have enjoyed them, but now, after hearing everyone's opinions I've made it my sworn duty to watch them.

And anything people are excited about happening now, it happened back then, but even better. Everybody thought it was such a shock to see Jillian go in three times when in the first Gauntlet Sarah went in 5 times and was undefeated. Actually, the cast members back then had so much more punch and personality than the cast now.

I am really excited to know about the format of this Challenge. Are we sure we wpon't find any spoilers until the end of the taping?

I know the suspense is killing me! I hope that it is something that nobody is expecting and will take me by suprise. (and it be kool and not lame, but I have a good feeling about this challenge)

I didn't think that Jillian was anything special, I mean the 3 people she defeated in the Gauntlet all came across to me as being pretty terrible. I did think it was crazy though in Fresh Meat, how Wes and Casey won in the exile so much, mostly cuz Casey is prolly won of the worst competitors the challenge has ever seen.

But yeah that's insane 5-0 in the Gauntlet.
