[QUOTE=Klounsnax;161299]I think that is their record for how many challenges they have been on and lost or won, I have a list of Elimination matchups records. This is challenges as a whole and I have an Elimination round specific list.[/QUOTE]
My bad...try 204.
[QUOTE=thamsenman;159936]Why the Ruins will be known as the best challenge ever:
1. 3 people (3!) got kicked off for fighting (Brad, Darrell, Tonya). One of those people being Brad (you know, the level headed one!)
2. An overweight, confused Veronica emerged from hibernation, and failed to become the "Queen Bee" as Evan would put it.
3. Casey almost makes it to the end. OMG. How is that even possible?
4. Brad becomes a psycopath and rages on Darrell and Kellyanne.
5. In an elimination vote-off that was almost certainly going to put Veronica into the Ruins 100%, Ibis got screwed because Syrus and Darrell set the tone without deliberating and Evan, Johnny, and Derrick had no spine.
6. Two chicks comprise the entire challenger team and almost beat the Champions (w/ 4 dudes), one chick of which is a complete Rookie.
7. Tonya takes a dump in the koi pond, slaps Veronica, and makes out with some weird (******?) Thai prostitute.
8. Johnny tears into Susie over spilt blood in the Inferno III.
9. Wes was beat by Cohutta!
10. Evelyn forfeits a match to her best-friend and leaves determined to never make amends.
11. Johanna actually goes into an elimination (she never went into one on her earlier challenges).[/QUOTE]
I don't think people realized how brilliant this post was.
[QUOTE=thamsenman;162043]I don't think people realized how brilliant this post was.[/QUOTE]
Ya but Johanna went into The Exile on Fresh Meat 1 and got sent home with her partner Jesse and that was her very 1st challenge

I did think it was kinda funny before but after you called your own post brilliant and you complimented yourself, it isn't that funny anymore.

****! I didn't even realize that he posted it originally.
[QUOTE=RMD1;162082]Well we have to know what your 1st is now :D[/QUOTE]
The one episode of the ruins where Kenny and Evan were laying in bed together, CRG and Insider posted something like this.
CRG "I won't be chilidish and comment on Kenny and Evan in bed together."
Insider- "I will. What the **** was going on in there?!?"
*****..I don't know why it was so funny but I was dying, haha.

Jesus, unclench your sphincter people. I was just kidding.
Taxes, because if you earn > 100,000 you fal in the 30-50+% tax bracket.
And if you earn less, its somewhere from 15-20% I think right?
I don't pay taxes, I'm a poor medical student.
[QUOTE=Desertpuma;162418]Texas? or Taxes?[/QUOTE]
Texas. 30% of our earnings go to Texas. :)
That's why everything there is bigger. They have the extra money to spend.
Now the question is, What kind of taxes will Texas have to pay on our 30%? :D

It would depend largely on the individual--how much other income they have; what their deductions and credits are and where they live (state/local taxes). Not sure if any of them have agents who would get a cut as well. I would generally assume they would need to set aside about 40-45%% on $100K for US federal taxes if they wanted to err on the side of not coming up short. When making money mainly by appearances, a person can likely claim a lot of expenses that most people do not--milage/travel, lodging, food, internet, website, etc. if they keep good documentation.
Poor medical students tend to pay a lot of taxes down the road, so get a good accountant early and do a lot of tax planning as your income curve starts upward.
Found some interesting things
On the first and second duel, for the first duel of each season, a gay male was picked last. That same gay male castmember chose a straight male rookie to go against from the most recent season of the real world. On both seasons the gay male won their respective duels which were Tyler beating Johnny and Ryan beating Nick. Even funnier, those same two players, Tyler and Ryan, were than eliminated in the second duel of their seasons.
On both duels, the female winners of both seasons, Jodi and Rachel, never stepped into a duel.
On fresh meat 1 and 2, the guy who had first pick from the fresh meat, Danny from fresh meat 1 and Darrel from fresh meat 2, were the first to be eliminated during the season.
From the battle of the sexes 1 to the gauntlet 2, the blue team has one of the final mission and the whole challenge.
This is kinda interesting in a way. For the ruins, during the ruins between Dunbar and Johnny and Kimberly and Susie, it was never really talked about that if Kimberly won the ruins against Susie then the rest of the girls automatically make it to the final mission since Susie was the last girl on her team. It was like people assumed Susie would win.
Battle of the seasons, the gauntlet, the gauntlet 3, and fresh meat 2 all had a challenge that was similar to physical version of musical chairs.
Battle of the seasons- inner tube tango
Gauntlet- Mud Bath
Gauntlet 3-Pinata Pit
Fresh Meat 2- Dirty Mouth
2 of the duels from the Duel 2 were ideas taken from 2 missions of the first duel
Duel Pole Dancing was taken from the Pole Dance mission on the Duel 1
Push Over was taken from the mission called Push Over on the Duel 1
On the first gauntlet this was interesting from the gauntlets
Steve beat Tonya in Perfect Fit
Trishelle beat Steve in Perfect Fit
Sarah beat Trishelle in Perfect Fit
The challenge, excluding battle of the sexes, fresh meats, the duel, and island seasons since the amount of people on the final winning teams was predetermined, that had the smallest winning team was the Inferno 2 with the Good Guys winning with 4 people. The largest cast to win was a tie between the Gauntlet and Gauntlet 2 with Road Rules and the Rookies having 9 players on the winning teams.
The Duel 2 has had the most eliminations in a single challenge
The largest cast on a challenge has been a tie between both battle of the sexes with 36 players.
MJ is the only player in the history of challenge to be a replacement twice for a player leaving the game.
The smallest cast on a challenge after the predetermined teams of 6 with 12 players total, has been 20 players on all 3 infernos, the duel, and the island.
Infernos and Gauntlet have the most series of challenges.
The Island and Gauntlet are the only challenges that featured guy vs girl faceoffs. I exclude the Inferno because Katie and David only happened because Coral won the lifeshield and there were no other girls on the team to replace her.
The Island was the only challenge to not have actual missions for the cast during the season.
Sarah has the most one on one wins in eliminations in a single season on the Gauntlet.
Wes has the most 2 on 2 wins in a single season which was on fresh meat.
Beth, Brad, and Robin are tied with the most challenge losses which is 7.
The most missions wins in a single season of the challenge is on the battle of the sexes 2 with the men winning 12 out of the 15 challenges.
Every challenge starting with the first Inferno till the Ruins, has featured a castmember or castmembers to leave the game without actually being eliminated from the game in a formal matter.
CT has been the only player to get kicked of a challenge twice before the challenge actually starts.
Dan (Miami) has been the only player to be voted off a season of the challenge twice during the same season. This was on the first battle of the sexes where Dan was brought back because Puck left the game.
Katie has appeared in all three gauntlet seasons while Abram and CT have appeared in all three inferno seasons.
Adam L and Darrel are the only players to win a season of a certain challenge and then be the first one out in the sequel to that challenge. Adam won the gauntlet and was first out on the gauntlet 2. Darrel won fresh meat 1 and was out first on fresh meat 2.
The gauntlet 2 is the only challenge to have one of their face-offs never played. This was "Knock Off" which till this day has never been told what it was.
On the gauntlet 3, the first episode was the only time where the gauntlet wheel had all 5 gauntlets displayed on it.
The one on one face-off that has been played the most in a single season was "Ball Brawl" on the gauntlet 3 which was played 6 times.

I was just about to ask you who you were referring to. And yeah Johnny and Tyler, weren't they on the same RW season? Does that really count as an interesting fact?
LOL at Ryan thinking he was to big and bad to get eliminated. By MJ no less.

The interesting fact isn't that they were on the same season together. The interesting fact is that a gay guy won the first duel on both season of the duel and that same gay guy lost the second duel in their season.
However to add on. Tyler vs Johnny (Duel), Jillian vs Kina (Gauntlet 2), and Jenn vs Colie (Inferno 3) are the only eliminations where 2 people from the same season of either road rules or real world faced off.
Also Paula vs Aneesa is the only elimination to happen more than once with a total of 3 times. Duel, Inferno 3, and Duel 2.

Also, Landon Vs Karamo (Inferno 2) and in terms of the alumni who participated in them, the first 3 exiles on Fresh Meat 1 (Wes Vs Danny, Wes Vs Melinda & Wes Vs Johanna)
Oh I forgot Landon vs Karamo lol. I knew there was one I was missing. I didn't put the exhiles with Wes vs his roomates because I just meant 1 on 1 face-offs.
