I can only assume those who do not have the Sarah/Irulan elimination round on their list did not see the Gauntlet season. That was EPIC. The entire cast fought the entire time. Leah and Kendal's Inferno on the first Inferno season was very similar. Both absolutely awesome elimination rounds.
There are 3 pole wrestle matches that I find to be amazing, that most people don't know about (possibly because it wasn't an actual season). The Spring Break Challenge (Camila's "original season") had probably the 3 best Pole Wrestle matchups that I have ever seen. I think you can look them up on MTV.com, so I would definitely check those out if I were you!

I agree with your first choice. That was epic!! Also, most elimination rounds that Derrick was in...he is a workhorse in these challenges and I miss seeing him. He has a smaller frame than a lot of the other challengers, but he gives it his all when he is up against the wall. He has earned respect by his performance on these shows. Since he doesn't bring the drama to the challenges (since he got married) I think that is why he isn't invited back very often.
[QUOTE=mizwood;300463]It sucks they forgot eliminations like [B]Miz vs Abe[/B], Brad vs Abe or Coral vs Beth.[/QUOTE]
I personally find nothing interesting about Miz vs Abe because it was just like: "I can't wait to see the battle that's about to hap... oh wait Abram fell. We're done."
[QUOTE=V1man;300471]Coral v. Beth?[/QUOTE]
Yes, Coral vs Beth - Gauntlet 3, Mexico.

Personally I find nothing that interestin in Paula&Jeff exile too, but for some reason MTV put that on the list.

So you thought that elimination was real? It wasn't -- other than it looked damn good on camera. The ladies are masters at that... rather like Derrick, Abram and Evan...
It's been detailed here at vevmo previously. In short, Beth and Coral discussed the elimination in advance. When Beth was convinced that Coral had the best chance of dealing with the Evan/Kenny situation, they agreed to give a good performance on camera with Coral to be the winner. Their discussion on this was made easy because those two and Katie were roommates and the camera crews focused on drama elsewhere in the house/set.
Beth later was disappointed with Coral (but not in a big way), that she wimped out (my words) two days later when she decided to walk away from the challenge. If Beth had known that Coral was going to do that, she would have remained and tried to wake Evelyn to the manipulation that was actually happening behind the scenes.

Real or not, it still was a damn good elimination which looked good to the viewers.
My Top 10...
Honorable mentions: Katie Vs David (Inferno), Mike Vs Abram (Gauntlet), Sarah Vs Irulan (Gauntlet), Coral Vs Beth (Gauntlet 3), Johnny Vs Dunbar (Ruins), Abram Vs Timmy (Inferno 3), Timmy Vs Derrick (Gauntlet 2), Eric Vs Wes (Battle of the Seasons 2), Tyler Vs Derrick (CutThroat)

Good thread
1. Abram vs. Brad (Inferno 2)
2. Susie vs. Kimberly (Ruins)
3. Derrick vs. Adam (Gauntlet 2)
4. Frank vs. MJ (Gauntlet 3)

7. Wes vs. Cohutta (The Ruins)
8. Kimberly vs. Ruthie (The Duel II)
9. Wes vs. Derrick (The Duel)
10. Coral vs. Tina (Gauntlet)
Tried to do 5 of each--can't think of any "pair" elimination round that was great. Maybe CT & Adam vs. Johnny & Tyler (Rivals) or Jillian & Pete vs. Darrell & Cara Maria (FM2)
I would say Susie vs Kimberley for the girls in Ragdoll and Wes vs Derrick in Pole Dance for the guys.
Team competitions the best would probably be this recent one of Zach vs CJ... their female teammates don't help in the standings, but it was still a pretty epic Hall Brawl.
Ragdoll is the best physical fighting challenge. But I also love the Battle of the Seasons 2 Strategy challenge, the Ruins 2 challenge that Ev threw to Kelly Anne, the Dice game in Cutthroat, and the Inferno 2 challenge that Veronica won. These games were all very interesting and I would love to see them be reused.

Glad you took it back. Those were so entertaining to watch even though they weren't physical contact. The glare Coral gave Tina the entire time, the editing, and then the drama between Alton and team Road Rules.
Classic moments.

I still remember Coral looking over at Tina and just putting her finger to her lips...she knew she had Tina beat.
I personally think if they ever do a "Duel III' that Dead Man's Drop should absolutely be an elimination round possibility. It is still physical but it is also about how much do you really want to win. Irulan vs. Sarah was simply epic--they both wanted that. I love to see people that want to win.
And I'm one of the few people that like the threat of a puzzle as the great equalizer. Trishelle beating Steve (the Quest) in Perfect Fit was great mainly because of his reaction. Something like "I'm going to have to tell my grandchildren that Trishelle from Vegas beat me in a puzzle".

Favorites - any elimination round where Wes has been embarrassed, all of Derrick's have been awesome, and T-Bone
Even though CJ/Zach was a real headbanger and under ordinary circumstances I'd like that whole thing, I thought it was bull****. The fact that CJ beat him 3/5 times and lost is ridiculous to me.
I'm not a big believer in production conspiracy theories and I usually roll my eyes when I hear that but to me it seems like you have this guy who was touted as being the next big thing on the challenges and to have him lose so early would've really been a flop. The guy, even according to CJ, is bigger, faster, and stronger...you give him enough chances and he'll figure it out. On Exes the tie breaker was one round, in the fish thing earlier it was one round, this should've been one round too and I'm not even one of those anti-Zach people.
It made me sick to listen to Derrick, who is one of my favorite guys on the show, kiss the kid's butt on his podcast and basically tell CJ that he really had no shot when he WON THREE OUT OF FIVE.
And this is way more than I intended to write.
