The Challenge Series: RW/RR (Generic Thread)

[quote=salt&vinegar;94722]On the first Inferno Katie won 3 infernos. She made it to the end on Inferno 1 and won. She also made it to the end Gauntlet 2. She has made it far on most of the shows she has done. When she really wants to win she will most likely do it.[/quote] Ibis made it farther than Katie on Battle of the Sexes 2, and her performance was good. She did do mediocre on Gauntlet 2 but ended up wining the final for her team. She did okay on Road Rules as well. I do feel as though Katie has proven herself because she has done more challenges.

Yeah but the Inferno's were not that physical on Inferno 1. Just saying.. I love me some Katie but she's not a good competitor. She's a puzzle person but not physically a good competitor. PS. Katie only won two inferno's.

[quote=dplayer18;94725]Yeah and on G2 Ibis didn't do much and pretty much had the rookies pull her around.[/quote] True. She sucked in some missions, plus Kina wanted to keep her but I think she can beat Kina... in anything physical.

[QUOTE=rw/rrjunkie;94731]True. She sucked in some missions, plus Kina wanted to keep her but I think she can beat Kina... in anything physical.[/QUOTE] True. Thats why Kina kept her around.

Katie & Coral are the two most overhyped people on these shows. Both are weak. At best. Coral is perhaps the biggest **** talker with no way to back it up. She can not compete yet talks **** on everyone else and boasts herself on being great. she minuplates her team mates to make it to end, plain and simple. katie, love her, but she sucks.

Thats why Coral is good... because she is a great manipulator. I don't think she won 2 gauntlets, win almost every challenge on Fresh Meat, and win a life saver by being a weak player... thats just me though.

To the mods, sorry, I know coral isn't on this challenge but I'm just responding to jackpeyton's post. Jack, if she really is weak at best, is that how she beat CT, Miz, Syrus, and David in the last mission before the Final on Inferno 1? Or how she made it to end of every challenge besides FM (due to injury) and G3, that she participated in? Is that how when she was there, she was the strongest girl on FM? Is that why she was considered the strongest Vet female next to Ev? Katie? Yeah, not the best. Coral? Yeah, maybe not the best, but 100% not weak at best. She's way stronger then people we're seeing like Robin, Paula, Casey, etc. Plus, like you said, she's a s*** talker and that and that's what makes me like her, BECAUSE she can back it up. I have no idea where you could have got the idea that Coral is weak.

Coral got strong as time went on, but she made it to the end of 90% of things by riding other peoples coat tales. Im watching The Inferno 1 right now and that may be clouding my judgement, but she is just a **** talker. But i guess this discussion should be contenued in another thread so we dont go too far OT

Coral was fairly strong on the first few challenges that she did. She was one of the final teams for RW on BotSeasons and won the entire thing. A lot of people say that the only reason she made it so far was because of the Miz, but I don't know how that can be. It was a team effort.

I think the Miz did have a big part of keeping Coral around to the end on pretty much every challenge she participated in.

The bottom line is that Coral is a fan favorite and has never been beaten in an elimination round.

[quote=salt&vinegar;94865]The bottom line is that Coral is a fan favorite and has never been beaten in an elimination round.[/quote] Yeah- she kicks butt, end of story... haha.

I actually think a lot of people under rate Coral's performances on missions. I think people pay so much attention to her domineering personality and her mouth that they think that's the only way she makes it through. That and I think people are sometimes still stuck on The Gauntlet's final. But she had done well in plenty of missions. She was the best female for the RW on Inferno, to me, overall, for example. She "earned" her stay to me. Mike was a strong partner for her on BOTSeasons, and it's the only challenge I thought he sort of carried her in. But watching again after so long, she did very well in some missions (Vertical Limit she did a really good job, Sidekick Showdown, she outlasted Mike and other teams in the ice car mission, etc). And she was a good influence on him and helped him out. He didn't exactly drag her to the finish line. I thought that one was her probably her weakest challenge overall, and part of Gauntlet. She was weak for half of The Gauntlet, but the second half she did a decent job(sans the final), winning matchups or lasting longer than several people on her team. She did bad at first and was finally voted in, and she won! Mike ACTUALLY tried to [I]vote her off (and Irulan) [/I]a few times when she was doing better than Trishelle! The team had to get on him with his voting. Mike had nothing to do with her BOTS2 stay - she really was one of the top competitors on her team (and she stayed longer than he did). Fresh Meat - she and Evan worked very well together. Gauntlet 3 - she was no "fat" to the team at all, the guys were just greedy and chauvinistic and didn't want to deal with girls who would not let them run everything. People not wanting to go into elimination rounds - I don't blame anyone for not wanting that. There is no 100% guarantee that anyone will win. Even the strongest have faultered sometimes. Anything can happen. Coral's not a Hollywick, Emily, Holly S, or BOTS Ruthie, but I feel she's a good competitor and has proven it time after time. She's had some blunders and weaker times, yes. But if looking at that, there are other strong competitors who have goofed up as well along the way.

Well said RW. The only reason she didn't get to do the Gauntlet final was because she was bitten by a spider. I don't think people should say she's weak because of that. She a stong competitor IMO.

Great post RW, and I couldn't agree more.

[quote=carlyyyx180;94859]I think the Miz did have a big part of keeping Coral around to the end on pretty much every challenge she participated in.[/quote] Incorrect. Where was he for Gauntlet 3? Coral can handle her own.

She a stong competitor IMO.[/quote] Well, it depends on what people perceived to have really happened during The Gauntlet final, I think. There are actually some people who think she didn't suffer from an allergic reaction to a spider bite - they just think she couldn't keep up, especially in the high altitude of Colorado. For those people, that final was a big indication her being weak, I guess. Also, I notice some people seem to rate competitors more on how good they are in elimination rounds. And if they are tops overall in a mission, I guess. So a person who is not number one a lot (like a CT or Landon) or who hasn't done much in elimination rounds isn't necessarily seen as strong. I think a few people see Darrell as having some sort of weakeness because he only had one elimination round, for example.

[quote=Alexa;95049]Basically people think she's a *****. [/quote] Not so. "People" is a generalization, those don't go over well here. In fact, a lot of "people" here are fans of hers. :)

[quote=OtherPplsDrama;95106]Not so. "People" is a generalization, those don't go over well here. In fact, a lot of "people" here are fans of hers. :)[/quote] I'd say most. Coral is the one person over here I rarely ever stick up for cause somebody usually beats me to it.

[quote=OtherPplsDrama;95106]Not so. "People" is a generalization, those don't go over well here. In fact, a lot of "people" here are fans of hers. :)[/quote] I wasn't talking about the people here obviously.

just to clear something up, i personally wasnt taking in Coral being DQ in that finale where she got the spider bite. its obvious that was real and out of her hands and a medical condetion. I cant believe that people think she was faking it. I also lost alot of respect for Mike for that. Do i think shes a *****? Not at all actually. I think ***** is an easy label for people to give Coral. I just think shes a passionate outspoken woman.

I think a few people see Darrell as having some sort of weakeness because he only had one elimination round, for example.[/quote] I think people rate every one differently. Did you mean CT and Landon are not people who do good on missions? Cause I thought that it's opposite, that they're winning almost all the missions that they do. They've been seen as one of the strongest, if not the strongest, on every team they were on. CT and Landon won the most missions for their team on I2. CT would have won the most on Duel 1 if he had listened to rules. Landon won most on Duel 2. CT was the leader/strongest of the G3 team. Those two are probably 2 of the maybe 4 strongest people on the challenges. Others I think are Miz and Alton. Mike isn't always the best performance wise (although he's usually close to the top) but he seems unshakable in an elimination round. Those 4 would be considered top performers and strong 1 on 1 players. I would put Evan here also, but something just makes me think that I don't think he'd be able to compete with these guys. Just my opinion. Then there are the people who compete just as good as the last 4 guys I named, but not all the time. People like Derrick, Abram, Brad (even with his luck), and Evan. Out of these 4, especially Derrick I think, are more feared in an elimination round. While still being considered top competitors for missions... just not as much as the first 4. You brought up Darrell, saying that he isn't looked at as a top person because he's done 1 elimination. That is true for me, because yes it's somethg almost impossible to win 4 out of 4 challenges. But in I1 he was on the same level as Timmy and Abram, I2 he was for sure 2nd weakest out of the 5 guys, and on FM he didn't really start shining at the end when Evan/Coral were already gone, Theo/Chanda were already gone. I really think Darrell and Aviv beat Derrick and Diem because they packed less. I didn't like that whole weight thing. I mean, what if someone's luggage was lost? Would they carry 0 lbs? Darrell isn't a top competitor, and we can't judge really him in elimination rounds, because we really haven't seen him do it. I hope some of what I said makes sense to others.

I think a few people see Darrell as having some sort of weakeness because he only had one elimination round, for example.[/quote] While I agree with just about everything you posted in the last two pages (and well said, at that) I have to disagree with the last. CT has won his fair share of missions as has Landon. I consider both top competitors in physical missions and elimination rounds. But to each his/her own opinion, and your entirely entitled to it. To me, the perfect examples of guys that never or rarely place first and win a mission yet excel at the game with other mechanics is Brad (RW:San Diego) and Darrell (RR:Campus Crawl, I think? Don't quote me on this, and I am too lazy to google it). Brad and Darrell both rarely won missions, life savers, life shields, etc yet stayed to the end and placed on both sides of the spectrum: Darrell winning everything he has been on and Brad lasting til the end but never winning. I understand your point though and do agree. What you had to say about Coral is exactly how I feel. She kicks a$$ when hers is on the line (see Inferno 1 the window falling challenge). I always considered her a top preforming female when need be.

i was just on a trip for grad week in bahamas and saw Paula with her NEW boyfriend that she said she had during the duel 2 reunion. As soon as i can get my friend request accepted from both of them i will have pictures up soon. scandelous. Anyone else have pictures or info on other cast member hook up/girlfriends/boyfriends then post them on here and let us know what is up.

So I just finished rewatching Fresh Meat, and I always thought that I liked Diem back then. But no. She acts exactly the same as she does now. When Tina and Kenny sent her and Derrick into Exile, she threw a temper tantrum just like she did on Duel 2 when Rachel, Britini, and Aneesa voted her into the Duel. I'll probably watch the original Duel now and I remember not minding her then either because of her relationship with CT. Does anyone know whether or not she *****ed when she got voted into the Duel?

Sorry for the misunderstanding, [COLOR=Blue]LCBaby[/COLOR] and [COLOR=Blue]faceless[/COLOR]! I [B][U][I]definitely do not [/I][/U][/B]think CT or Landon are bad competitors. Couldn't be further from the truth and I have said they were tops time and time again. I should have worded it better for clarity. What I was saying is that if you are not like a CT or Landon - being number one a lot, or if you didn't win a lot of eliminations, some people think you aren't that good of a competitor. JakePeyton, I was not trying to say you are one of the people who thought Coral faked the spider thing. Sorry for that. I do think it's possible for people to believe she's weaker based on things outside of that. I was just speaking in general on something I'd seen online concerning her Gauntlet final performance and how some people seemed to feel about her as a competitor. I have actually read posts from people that were very suspicious and think Coral's full of it from that situation. And I remember Kenny making some comment about it as well. Tina too.

Kenny had no buisness commenting on that. I love him, but that ticked me off.
