The Challenge Series: RW/RR (Generic Thread)

[QUOTE=AJHill;186935]That nomination video is loaded with spelling errors and overall poorly done. Whoever made it shouldn't have made a best male competitor list and omitted [B]CT, Theo V., and Timmy from consideration.[/B] Also, leaving out Timmy/Abe in Inferno 3 off the best elimination rounds. I don't understand what "Best Challenge Performance as a Rookie or Veteran" is supposed to mean, shouldn't it just be "Best Challenge Performance"? And how do you leave Landon's performances (Duel 2, Inferno 2, FM2) off that list? Or Alton in Gauntlet 2, or CT in Inferno/Inferno 2, Abram in Inferno 3, the Miz on Battle of the Seasons? I can't believe I just watched that ********* video. What a waste of my time.[/QUOTE] Not to mention Mark, Dan(RR5), and Jamie(RW New Orleans). And how the heck can you have KENNY in a discussion of best male competitor???? That person clearly does not know a lot about challenge history.

I thought it would be interesting to see who gave the first interview in each Challenge season. I must say, it was a bit suprising. I only have the data from Fresh Meat onward. Fresh Meat: Theo Duel: Johnny Inferno 3: Alton Gauntlet 3: Beth Island: KellyAnne Duel 2: Kimberly Ruins: Chet FM2: Paula Interesting that half of these people (Johnny, KA, Kim, Chet) were doing their first Challenge at the time, and the other half were seasoned veterans. If anyone can figure out the pre-FM seasons, I'd be interested to see that.

If it's first confessional Battle of the Seasons: Jisela Battle of the Sexes: Dan Renzi Gauntlet: Jonny Moseley/Theo (RW: Chicago) Inferno: Jeremy Battle of the Sexes 2: Tina Inferno 2: Derrick Gauntlet 2: Robyn

I knew it was Dan in Battle of the Sexes, but didn't know the rest of them.

I am surprised Trisha hasn't done a challenge, I hope she eventually does one. I'm also surprised Ashli hasn't came back after The Island and that Cara didn't do The Ruins since her BFF Susie was there.

I liked Ashli on the Island, I'm surprised she hasn't come back either, but then again, her only challenge experience was the ISLAND, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

[QUOTE=Youssarian;186994]I liked Ashli on the Island, I'm surprised she hasn't come back either, but then again, her only challenge experience was the ISLAND, so maybe I shouldn't be surprised.[/QUOTE] Yes, but she is a lot more entertaining than Cohutta, who has came back.

I know she's good friends with Evan and Kenny so I always thought she would do one, who knows if she ever will. Are Susie and Cara still close?

Cohutta didn't get screamed at for being a Rookie or cut his toe open. He did, however, have to go through the hellish, Survivor-like food shortages and rationing, but still.

I always liked Cohutta. The challenges need more people that are generally well liked and are there just to compete. Cohutta has always been one of my favorite guys from the real world, along with Zach, Alex, Jose, and Randy.

Even if they weren't, I wonder if she will ever do another challenge.

[QUOTE=rwdenverfan;187002]I also wonder why Jose has never done a challenge, and why Zach and Alex haven't returned since Gauntlet III.[/QUOTE] ColiesMom could probably tell you why Alex hasn't done another, I remember it being mentioned before.

[QUOTE=yankeegurl93;187004]ColiesMom could probably tell you why Alex hasn't done another, I remember it being mentioned before.[/QUOTE] Well he did give up on the first Gauntlet after being there only 24 hours. Now i'm wondering why Colie hasn't returned since The Island. There are so many people I want to see back on my tv.

I remember ColiesMom said that Alex doesn't like BMP and that Colie isn't on a lot of challenges because of her "skills". xD I would love to see Colie again actually!

[QUOTE=ClubSandwich;186801]I feel as though Champions vs Challengers wouldn't be so one sided if they had two appropriately divided teams, unlike last challenge. There's still some good players out there that haven't won a thing. Shame BMP is shackled by who agrees to do a specific challenge.[/QUOTE] I guess that's true...imagine if CT had been on the Challengers team! That would have been crazy.

I agree Champions vs. Challengers could be pretty even especially with some of the stronger FM2 guys that obviously haven't won a challenge yet.

If the show goes on for a few more seasons, I can see another Champions vs. Challengers format. As for Alex, he didn't seem like he wanted to be there or compete. He gave up. Colie would be good on another challenge, she isn't the most athletic, but it would be fun to see her on our T.V. screens again. I would also like Randy to do another challenge. I always thought it would be good to have a "couples/people who went out from the shows" challenge like Cohutta, KellyAnne, Wes, Johanna (already done), James, Emily, Chadwick, Holly (MVT), Timmy, Holly S., Diem, CT, Shane, Ryan, Veronica, Rachel (CC), Sean, Rachel (SF), Pam (SF), Judd (SF), Tori, Brad, Jenn, Pete, Melinda, Danny... That's already 26 people. Everyone is pretty strong and only 2 people have never dont a challenge. I obviously don't think this would ever happen, but if it did, it would be interesting. A lot of drama.

It's a shame that people like Nick(RR Extreme), Steve, and Shawn(RR8) did a challenge, but not people like MaryBeth, Kit, Oscar, Vince, Pua, Effie, and Abe(RR Latin America). Those people would of been way more entertaining. And I never understood why Piggy didn't come back(even with the Inferno incident), along with Emily and Ellen(who only did one challenge.....she challenged PUCK for goodness sakes!!!).

Ellen got married and had a child soon after BOTS I. Emily just didn't have fun, even though she did 3. I agree people like Oscar, Effie, Vince, Patrick and Ericka (Islands) would be fun to watch. They could have gotten so many more Road Rulers to participate during the BOTSeasons-Inferno I period.

Ericka also would of been yet another solid RR's female competitor.

[QUOTE=Superboy;187030]Too bad Patrick was PISSED at the editing job production did on Road Rules: Extreme, he would of been a great competitor......

For The Ruins, they should of cast some more veterans that haven't won one. (CT, Tina, Paula, maybe even Jenn) any of them would be better than Casey.

I was pissed when I heard that Vince didn't go the Gauntlet because they swapped. He probably would have been boring, but hey it would have been nice to see a different face. Wasn't Steve (The Quest) his replacement though? He was pretty funny.

Does anyone know if David(RR14) ever got an invite to a challenge? I saw his name listed for the Duel 2, but then he was taken off. I believe him leaking spoilers was the reason he never appeared on a challenge to date. If he hadn't, i'm almost positive he would of been on a challenge. Also Sarah(RR7) and Donnell. And that [B]SUCKS[/B] hearing about Vince, he would of been someone totally different, and I believe he would of been a good competitor due to his martial arts background.

I wish there was a site I could see seasons of Road Rules...I'm a late fan so I never saw a season, and from the way people talk about it, I missed out!!

She had a bad time cause pretty much her whole team wanted her gone. Donnell probably felt he wouldn't do well since he did horrible in the missions on South Pacific because of his weight. I'd like Irulan to do another one and Piggy! and I don't think Ellen didn't have "fun". She won a car and made it to the end and got a lot happier then since there were less people. I don't think she liked her edit. Ellen had A LOT of airtime on BOTS1 and all the interviews about her were negative..so she probably felt like crap after seeing people talk bad about her on the show and she got viewed very negatively in the 1st half of the season. Although Ellen did come back for the BOTS2 preview special and talked for a bit about the new season and her opinion with Dan :) they're hilarious.

I saw X-Treme and really liked it. However, nothing holds a candle to the original seasons. I liked it before it was a game show, and when it was more about learning. Semester at Sea was a really good season.
