[QUOTE=Old Friend;228240]LMAO. This thread brings back so many memories. I especially love the post about Ruthie losing to a blonde every time. Wow. As for Shauvon, if she comes back she needs to put up a good fight or that's it for her on these shows. Anyway, I'm also trying to think of some interesting facts as well but we mostly got all of them at the moment.[/QUOTE] Haha lol i know when i posted about Ruthie always losing to a blonde i was hoping someone might like it :D

I'm not sure if this has been said or not, but in the last 5 challenges only 1 girl has won each challenge. The Island-Ev Duel 2-Rachel Ruins-Susie FM2-Carley Cutthroat-Tori And the ratio for men:women winners in the last 5 challenges is 12:5. Doesnt seem quite fair huh?

Here's an interesting fact: On all the seasons that I've seen that are not Real World vs. Road Rules(I didn't do seasons I'm currently watching, or haven't seen, because I don't want to be spoiled), the team with the most Road Rulers at the final mission wins. I also didn't include Fresh Meats or the Duels, because those were individual and partner. Battle of the Sexes: 1 (Mark; tied with 1, Ellen, for the girls) Battle of the Sexes 2: 2 (Theo and Dan, girls had 1 with Sophia) Gauntlet 3: 2 (Jillian and Tori; Vets had no Road Rulers) The Island: 1 (Derrick; other team had no Road Rulers) The Ruins: 2 (Susie and Derrick; Challengers had no Road Rulers) Cutthroat: 1 (Tori; tied with Gray, who had Abram) If anyone wants to see if this holds true with Inferno 2, Gauntlet 2, and Inferno 3, go ahead. I just haven't seen those yet and didn't want to spoil myself.

Doesnt seem quite fair huh?[/QUOTE] What's funny is that I think at one point there were probably more female winners, since the winning team (which was always the blue team for like 8 straight challenges) usually had more females. EDIT: Okay I just did a quick search and that's not entirely true, but there were 5 females on both the Gauntlet and Inferno winning teams, 4 on Gauntlet 2 and Gauntlet 3, 3 on Inferno 3 and BOTSeasons, and then only 1 on Inferno 2 (and Duel/FM but like molds said, no choice there) There were more females than males for Gauntlet, Inferno, and Gauntlet 3 though. Inferno 3 was tied as far as males and females go (same with BOTSeasons but that was unavoidable)
Battle of the Sexes and The Duel are the only concepts to be filmed in fall and spring Battle of the Sexes 1 was filmed in fall and Battle of the Sexes 2 was filmed in Spring. The Duel 1 was filmed in Spring and the Duel 2 was filmed in Fall. I don't know if its that interesting. Just noticed that all 3 Infernos were shot in the fall and all 3 Gauntlets were shot in spring/summer. Also both Fresh Meat's were filmed in fall.

On The Gauntlet 2, The Rookies had Ibis, Kina, Jodi, and Susie, and the Veterans had Mark, Timmy, and Katie. On the Inferno 3, the Good Guys and Bad ***** were both tied, the Good Guys had Susie and Cara and the Bad ***** had Derrick and Abram.
Every challenge Tori has been on she's contemplated quitting. I don't know how she has won 2 out of 3 challenges. She is more mentally weak than Paula. I hope Tori never returns to a challenge and keep Brad too, cuz we all saw what happened last time he was on a challenge without her.
You can relax , they are officialy retired.
Katie has seen the most types of eliminations on the female side: a Gauntlet, an Inferno, a vote off, an Exile, a Duel, a Ruin and a Gulag. Bringing it to a total of 7 types of eliminations.

Just a reminder Veronica is still challenge queen with 3 wins, and in second place (tied with Landon I believe) with most wins. Darrell is still #1

LOL YGBSM, not even in an alternative universe!!!!!!!
[QUOTE=producer88;228922]Just a reminder Veronica is still challenge queen with 3 wins, and in second place (tied with Landon I believe) with most wins. Darrell is still #1[/QUOTE] A few people have 3 wins. But Veronica is the only woman to have done so. Derrick, Landon, Jamie, Kenny & Veronica.

[QUOTE=producer88;228922]Just a reminder Veronica is still challenge queen with 3 wins, and in second place (tied with Landon I believe) with most wins. Darrell is still #1[/QUOTE] Yeah and ten years later she still has the most wins as a female. Oh and no Real World female has won more than one challenge.
[QUOTE=Nightwolf;228928]She never contemplated quitting on Cutthroat, that was all done by the producers because they didn't feel like her having to leave in order to keep her job was good tv.[/QUOTE] Production wouldn't let Tori call home to find out the status of her work back at home. -Thinking about losing because you feel you'd hold your team back -Thinking about going home because you're job is in jeopardy Both are contemplating quitting. to an extent.

[QUOTE=dorkyydaniel;228929]Yeah and ten years later she still has the most wins as a female. Oh and no Real World female has won more than one challenge.[/QUOTE] YES! It's been so many years and she still holds the womens record! That's why shes queen of the challenges! Man Real World girls need to step their game up!
Danny (RW: Austin) is the only castmember to have done 5 or more Challenges and never made it to the final.

She had the sense to know that her career is way more important than any game show.

Brad ate a banna in the cut throat finale when tyler was reading the sign launage directions. I thought that was intresting.
Steve (road rules), Trishelle, Ruthie, Aneesa, Jenn, Diem, and Brandon are the only people who have won and lost the same kind of elimination round during a season. Steve: (Gauntlet) Perfect Fit: Beat Tonya and Lost to Trishelle Trishelle: (Gauntlet) Perfect Fit: Beat Steve and Lost to Sarah Ruthie: (Gauntlet 2) Reverse Tug of War: Beat Jisela and Lost to Beth Aneesa: (Duel) I Can: Beat Diem and Lost to Svetlana Jenn: (Duel 2) Push Over: Beat Katie and Kim and Lost to Diem Diem: (Duel 2) Push Over: Beat Jenn and Lost to Brittini Brandon: (Cut Throat) HandCuffs: Beat Derek and Lost to Derrick I didn't count exiles because they were pretty much all the same. Interesting enough, which I might have said in the past here or somewhere else, on the gauntlet there was a pattern with perfect fit. Tonya lost to Steve, then Steve lost to Trishelle, and then Trishelle lost to Sarah all in Perfect Fit.
Rachel (Campus Crawl) has been on 6 Challenges but has only been on 1 reunion show!
[QUOTE=jhl182;229286]Rachel (Campus Crawl) has been on 6 Challenges but has only been on 1 reunion show![/QUOTE] That is a really cool interesting fact for me for some reason. I guess because she made it to the end 3 times (The Gauntlet, Inferno and Duel II) and her vote off in the first BOTS was "controversial". She didn't really do much on BOTS 2 and The Island. Did the Gauntlet not have a reunion show? I remember Inferno II didn't... they just had the cast speaking about the show, commenting on it, like the **** they should have shown shows.
Rachel (RR: Campus Crawl) has only done back-to-back challenges. Battle of the Sexes (season 6), The Gauntlet (season 7) Battle of the Sexes 2 (season 9), The Inferno II (season 10) The Island (season 16), The Duel 2 (season 17)

Instead 'Gauntlet' had a sort of interview piece, doubled with a preview for the first 'Inferno' while Inferno II just had the interview pieces. Also Rachel wasnt in the first Inferno, was voted off too early in both Battle of the Sexes to warrant a reunion appearance and yep, made her first real reunion debut on Duel 2. She has however appeared in a lot of 'interview' type shows such as the 'RW/RR Challenge Uncut' episode as well as the two 'Interview' type reunions I mentioned. Anyway minght as well mention this piece - Tyler is now the first (and so far, only) male LGBT cast-member to win a challenge
