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

From those in the cast that I talked to, all thought Jillian was a very tough competitor, probably ranked about equally with Tori who surprised everyone who had not seen Viewer's Revenge. On the Veteran's side, Eve and Beth were the most feared. No one wanted to face either one, which is why you saw Coral complaining about having to face Beth.

I have always though Jillian was a tough competitor, but she was given too much credit for the things she had done and they weren't honorable feats. Tori definetly did better than any girl on that Challenge.

I hate when people at home watching thinking Beth is an easy person to defeat. Beth has proven to be strong. Anyone who can defeat Ruthie, Montana, dominate Svetlana, and almost take out Coral definetly should be feared. She took Coral to the limit and put on the best Gauntlet I have ever seen.

I'll respect your opinion about Jillian, but understand that I am telling you what other cast members who were there said about her. I'll agree with most of what you write about Beth with the exception of G3.

Actually, Beth didn't take Coral to the limit. After the first score by Beth, they stopped and talked about which one wanted to go home. Beth wrote about it in her blog. There were a lot of things happening off camera and related to contracts that made the challenge environment very difficult. Both agreed that Beth would go and Coral would stay: Coral would give the vets Hell and help the rookies. They also decided to put on a good show and not make it look like a walkover. They were both pros about making sure it was good TV. In the end, MTV called it the "Gauntlet of the Century."

I totally understand what you are saying about Jillian and she earned my respect after her hard work.

I see. Well they sure made it look real. I love how they work these things. So neither of them wanted to stay?

Wes & Casey won their exiles for 1 of 2 reasons

1) They had lighter bags
2)Their opponents forgot to grab the flags from the checkpoints

It would've been interesting to see what would've happened if they had gone into exile against Tina & Kenny because Tina/Kenny had a habit of forgetting flags, but unlike Wes & Casey, they were really good at the puzzles

I started watching around Battle of the Seasons, that was an epic challenge!
