Challenge Interesting Facts

[QUOTE=RWRRdude;232719]It took [B]9[/B] years for [B]Beth[/B] to lose 7 challenges It took[B] 4[/B] years for [B]Paula[/B] to lose 7 challenges[/QUOTE] That's a **** of a stat. Also may help explain why Paula is so insufferable. Crazy that she has been on so many in a span of 4 years.

[QUOTE=ViewRam90;232765]Remember when Beth said in an interview "People ask me why I keep doing this and I say why not, as long as they keep inviting me I will do them" something like that. Now I do not see her coming back :([/QUOTE] Yeah, I remember this. It was on the first Duel.

Maybe Beth can pull a Belou and bring her babies on a challenge. She makes for good tv. Maybe she will win on her 8th challenge. Not only has Beth lost 7 times, she never made it to a final (not counting All-Stars for no one gets eliminated).

Here's one I don't think anyone's mentioned/noticed: CT could have been nominated for all 4 male infernos on the Inferno 2, however he would have gone into none of them because he won the life shield every single time there was a male Inferno.

Every challenge [B]Ruthie [/B]has appeared on [B]Aneesa [/B]has been there as well. [B]Darrell[/B] and [B]Aneesa[/B] have both done 6 challenges but never appeared on the same challenge together.

[B]Not only has Beth lost 7 times, she never made it to a final (not counting All-Stars for no one gets eliminated[/B]).[/QUOTE] This does give Paula a slight edge over Beth. It was mentioned that it was sad that it took Paula 4 years to lose 7, and took Beth 9. Well Paula HAS made it to the end 3 out of the 7. The luck just isnt in their favor.

Ruthie hasnt done a challenge without Mark or [strike]Anessa[/strike] Aneesa. The winning team on all three inferno's had more money in there team bank account before winning the final challenge.

[B]Now I do not see her coming back[/B] :([/QUOTE] Why? Apparently BMP's casting office did not know that Beth's second child was due in Jan. Read into that sentence what you will...

The luck just isnt in their favor.[/QUOTE] There is a substantial difference between Beth and Paula. Paula is there wanting to win, and in a couple of instances, she was there with an expectation of a 50% chance of winning. The Duel was the only challenge in which Beth believed she had a 50 % chance of winning, but production wanted a new "star" to stay around. (that didn't work out too well for BMP in the long run). On a couple of other challenges, she had other commitments which compelled her to leave before the projected end date. During those instances, she does what she always does, and delivered the on-camera drama which has been her hallmark. During one challenge, none of the cast was aware that she was booked somewhere in the middle of the challenge. From watching the season, one would never know she had always expected to leave early. Fortunately, the opportunity presented itself in one of the challenge's most memorable events.

[B]Fortunately, the opportunity presented itself in one of the challenge's most memorable events[/B].[/QUOTE] Possibly the clothes in the pool incident (and resulting drama) of Inferno 2? "It's floating. It's floating, Tonya, you need to get it to go under water." That's one of my favorite Challenge moments ever. Beth is my favorite love-to-hate challengers. I'm sure she's not so confrontational and manipulative in real life, but on these shows... MAN I can't stand her! As annoyed as I get by her on-screen "personality", she brings some of the best drama.

I like Beth. I don't think she is the best competitor ever, but I do think she was good. I also think she got better in later challenges. She seemed stronger in The Duel and The Gauntlet 3 as opposed to her first challenge and Battle of the Sexes.

Beth was the goddess of the challenges lol. She made for some of the best moments in challenge history! I would love to see her back but more than likely it won't happen.

What's funny about Beth is that when she did Inferno 2, she had sat out like 3 or 4 challenges at that point and her two most recent challenges at the time she had gone home first and second, so I always just kind of thought Beth was just going to be a challenge memory, but then she ended up having a bit of a comeback. I actually loved Beth on Gauntlet 2. edit: Weird, I thought I was in the RW/RR generic thread, heh.

This might have been posted before, but a veteran has never lost the first elimination round of any season against a rookie. Male or female. [U]Holly[/U] vs Trishelle (Inferno) [U]Tina[/U] vs Robin (Inferno 2) [U]Aneesa[/U] vs Paula (The Duel) [U]Alton[/U] vs Tyrie (Inferno 3) [U]Ryan[/U] vs Nick (The Duel 2) [U]Aneesa[/U] vs Shauvon (The Duel 2) [U]Wes[/U] vs Chet (The Ruins) 7-0 for the vets! lol

[QUOTE=jhl182;233923]Jon and Dan are equal I think. Dan: Extreme, BOTsexes Jon: All-Star, BOTseasons[/QUOTE] None of those seasons had elimination rounds.

[QUOTE=jhl182;233923]Jon and Dan are equal I think. Dan: Extreme, BOTsexes Jon: All-Star, BOTseasons[/QUOTE] You're right, I didn't count all-star for Jon. That was a vet vs vet elimination

On Duel II, all of the runner-ups from The Island were on (Jenn, Robin, Ryan, Paula) but none of the winners were on. Then on The Ruins, all the winners were on (Derrick, Evelyn, Johnny, Kenny) and none of the runner-ups.

On a similar note... Out of the 4 winners of the Island, 3 of them won Inferno 3 (all 4 were in the finals, but Johnny didn't win), and 3 of them won the Ruins (only Evelyn didn't win).

I actually would have really liked to see Kenny and Johnny in the Duel.

Here's a interesting fact I just stumbled upon: The theme song of The Gauntlet 2 was used on The Real World Denver in the 25th episode. Which is "Anthem" by Superchic.. [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yrDA5-uD01g]YouTube - Anthem - Superchic[k][/url]

I actually really like that song for some reason! Lol. I have it on my iPod.

I'm not sure if this as been said but on The Ruins, the last remaining women (Susie, Kelly Anne, and Sarah) accumulatively went into 7 of the 9 female Ruins. The 2 other two were won by Kim and Tonya (who was disqualified from the competition).

I don´t know were to put this, but there it goes: On the Duel 1, on the 3rd episode, Wes and Svetlana have to acrosse a bridge and Wes has shoes![url=http://vevmo.com/vbimghost.php?do=displayimg&imgid=9167][img]http://vevmo.com/imagehosting/44814d58411be8d78.jpg[/img][/url] Then in the end he doesen´t has shoes...

[QUOTE=Starkman;236504]Can someone explain this to me?[/QUOTE] There were two rounds in that event. Bad editing.

On the Inferno 2, The rookie girls on the Good Guys team made it further than the veteran girls. Shavonda & Jamie outlasted Robin, Jodi & Julie. I'm pretty sure that's a first & only.

Just continuing on a topic about 'Most Losses' from the current spoiler thread. Currently Katie holds the title of most losses with a 1-8 win/loss ratio. Her losses being - The Gauntlet, Battle of the Sexes 2, Gauntlet 2, Fresh Meat, Gauntlet 3, Duel 2, The Ruins and Cut-throat Her sole win being on 'The Inferno' Straight behind her is Brad with 7 losses (Including any DQs) - Battle of the sexes 2, Inferno 2, Gauntlet 2, The Duel, Gauntlet 3, Duel 2 and The Ruins His sole win being on Cut-throat. Also in the same boat as Brad (1-7) is Tonya (again including the DQ from The Ruins) - Battle of the Sexes, The Gauntlet, Battle of the Sexes 2, Inferno 2, Fresh Meat, The Island and The Ruins This leaving Tonyas only win on 'The Inferno 3' The is the 7-0 club. In there is Paula - The Duel, Inferno 3, Gauntlet 3, The Island, Duel 2, Fresh Meat 2 and Cutthroat Also Robin Battle of the Sexes 2, The Inferno 2, The Gauntlet 2, The Duel, Gauntlet 3, The Island and The Duel 2 And last but not least, Beth (Counting 'Quits' into the equation) First Challenge, Battle of the Seasons, Battle of the Sexes, Inferno 2, Gauntlet 2, The Duel, Gauntlet 3 ---- And to round off that list is the 6-0 club featuring Aneesa Battle of the Sexes, Battle of the Sexes 2, Gauntlet 2, The Duel, Inferno 3, Duel 2 aaaand CT (No his 'Cutthroat appearance doesnt count) The Inferno, Inferno 2, The Duel, Inferno 3, Gauntlet 3, The Duel 2

Alot of top guns in the losing colum only ouch!.

Also if we accepted 'Spring Break Challenge' as an actual challenge series (Camilla is in the series so I guess it may be, hopefully not since these guys didnt actually compete properly) it would bump up the lists like this Susie 3-1 (originally 2-1) Kenny - 3-5 (originally 3-4) Wes 1-4 (originally 1-3) Darrell 4-3 (Originally 4-2) Landon 3-2 (Originally 3-1) Ev 2-5 (Originally 2-4) Rachel (Campus Crawl) 2-5 (Originally 2-4) As you can see though even if it did it wouldnt affect the most losses group at all with only Rachel, Kenny and Ev really taking one step closer to being in the 6 loss catagory. So its probably best to ignore the numbers there and focus on main challenges. That means also that Derrick fits in the catagory having lost Battle of the Sexes 2, Inferno 2, Gauntlet 2, Fresh meat, the Duel and Cutthroat. If we DO add 5 losses to the list though it adds Veronica, Abram, Coral, Adam, Danny, Diem, Eric, Jenn, Tina and Ryan. --------------------- However as far as elimination matchups are concerned, if we take the losers list (Katie, Brad, Tonya, Paula, Robin, Beth, Aneesa, CT, Derrick, Veronica, Abram, Coral, Adam, Danny, Diem, Eric, Jenn, Tina and Ryan) we get this Katie: (Montana, Julie, David, Shauvon, Ayiiia) 5-6 (Rachel.B, Tina/Kenny, Paula, Jenn, Sarah, Camila) Brad (Eric, Landon) 2-2 (Abram, Derrick) Tonya (Julie, Shavonda, Diem) 3-2 (Wes/Casey, Abram) Paula (Aneesa, Katie) 2-5 (Aneesa x2, Jenn, Ev/Luke, Emily) Robin (Casey) 1-4 (Tina, Aneesa, Kellyanne, Kimberly) Beth (Ruthie, Montana) 2-3 (Aneesa, Svetlana, Coral) Aneesa (Beth, Paula x2, Robin, Diem, Shauvon, Tori) 7-2 (Svetlana, Paula) CT (Shane, Evan) 2-1 (Brad) Derrick (Adam.L, Syrus, Brad, Tyler, Davis, Abram/Johnny, Brandon) 7-5 (Timmy, Darrell/Aviv, Wes, Johnny, Tyler) Veronica (Jodi) 1-1 (Kellyanne) Abram (Brad, Timmy, Tonya/Kenny) 3-2 (Miz, Derrick) Coral (Tina, Beth) 2-0 Adam.K (Danny) 1-2 (Alton, Syrus) Danny 0-6 (Alton, Wes/Casey, Davis, Adam, Darrell, Jillian/Pete) Diem (Jenn) 1-4 (Darrell/Aviv, Aneesa, Brittini, Tonya) Eric (Nehemiah, Vinny) 2-3 (Tina/Kenny, Derek, Luke) Jenn (Rachel, Colie, Paula/Ashli, Katie, Kimberly, Ryan/Theresa) 6-1 (Susie) Tina (Robin, Katie/Eric, Theo/Chanda) 3-1 (Coral) Ryan (Derek, Colie/Johanna, Nick) 3-4 (Wes/Casey, Nehemiah, M.J, Jenn/Noor) This list counts the Exiles in fresh meat 1+2. It also counts the face-offs in the island (Tonya lost in one which Abe on, hence hes on her list meanwhile Abe beat Tonya and Kenny, hence why both are on his). Finally it also counts both instances of giving up in the actual elimination (Beth/Shauvon) as well as any 'Controversial' eliminations since this is geared more officially (So Beth/CT's eliminations in the Duel count) What is NOT counted however are non-competition eliminations (Battle of the Seasons and both Battle of the Sexes). Neither are DQ's or quits outside of a elimination matchup (Hence Corals spotless record despite quitting. She never actually was placed into elimination). (Yes I am quite bored atm, thanks for asking. teehee)
