The Gauntlet 3

Well, word's out so I can speak a little freely about the next challenge now, the Gauntlet 3, airing on January 23 @ 10.
First off, you guys need to watch the show. Tune in, try and get friends into it, because I think that if this one doesn't fare better in the ratings than Inferno did, it could be the end of the franchise. I'll admit, the Inferno wasn't the most entertaining thing in the world, but this challenge should be quite different. It's chock full of hookups and fights, they were happening on the daily. Besides, would you really prefer yet another Laguna Beach spinoff? Because that's what you've got to look forward to if the Challenge is gone. That, pimping cars, or fat camp documentaries.
The competitions were grueling and the eliminations were extremely physical, you won't be seeing any ladder climbing or luggage carrying on this one. Just good old brawls down in the sand to survive. It was as unpredictable as ever and the game got very dirty very quickly. And with 30+ castmembers, there's got to be a favorite out there for everyone, even the most discriminating fan.
Check out IamonMTV.com when the show comes out for blogs and insider info from the cast.

I really think this season will be better than the last one. Enough of Susie and Tonya, let's get some real firecrackers in there!

I get a kick out of the fact that Ev is pimping it. You know they don't want to have to go out and get real jobs! What would they do if the show was canceled? Wait tables? This franchise is the only thing that keeps them visible so they can get bar tour bucks.

Well in her defense, I think she is still in college in New York. And I don't think she really does appearances. At least, she doesn't have the email address for booking or the calender of events on her page. So the challenges are probably not too bad a way for a 20 year old to help pay her tuition. As far as the thirty plus year olds that rely on appearances and challenges, they may be screwed.

In other news, it looks like Evelyn has moved on from allegedly being dumped by Brooke. Her status says In a Relationship.

I know, right?? Well I am hoping that the ratings were so low because last season was pretty crappy. Plus there's always rumors. I always hear that RW is on it's last legs and it just seems to keep on going.
