More shocking than interesting, but each player from Rookie team onky won $26k on Gauntlet 2

That bish Susie knew she was safe 

Susie was only concerned about one of the girls on the Rookies team--the odds were in her favor

She wanted to be nominated to dictate how things played out

Interesting how that season had 9 winners. A lot of players who haven't won yet like Jonna, Leroy and Nany probably would have won in a team format by now if those type of games were played in the new era.

Agreed. That's one reason why I wish they would really do big team challenges now because we'd get tons of new winners from those type of formats and it would make the shows more interesting honestly.

Yeah, it's weird to think of people like Ibis & Janelle as champs when stronger, more deserving players like Leroy, Dustin, Theresa or Jonna have yet to get wins.

The whole Gauntlet/Inferno series had some surprise winners, either because of surprise elimination wins (Sarah/Cara in the Gauntlet) or people who skated by without going into an elimination. I mean 7/9 finalists in the Gauntlet never saw an elimination. (Probably because Sarah saw 5/14 of them).

The sheer number of winners (and finalists in general) makes it easier for some less talented folk to skate by instead of nowadays when a team of 2 or an individual wins. I also think that a lot of luck was involved in the finals of the Gauntlet 2 (the Rookies winning the eating contest) and the Gauntlet 3 (the Veterans winning but being declared the losers because Big Easy collapsed) Nowadays finals typically consist of 3 individuals or 3 teams of 2.

The Gauntlet Winners: Adam L, Cara, Darrell, Dave, Rachel, Roni, Sarah, Theo, Veronica

The Inferno Winners: Abram, Christena, Darrell, Holly, Katie, Kendal, Timmy, Veronica

The Gauntlet 2 Winners: Alton, Ibis, Jamie, Jodi, Kina, Landon, MJ, Randy, Susie (7 Veterans were on the losing side of the final)

The Inferno 2 Winners: Darrell, Jamie, Landon, Mike the Miz   (7 Bad ***** were on the losing side of the final)

The Gauntlet 3 Winners: Frank, Jillian, Johanna, Nehemiah, Rachel, Tori (10 Veterans were on the losing side of the final)

The Inferno 3 Winners: Abram, Derrick, Evelyn, Janelle, Kenny, Tonya (6 Good Guys were on the losing side of the final)

Dustin doesn't deserve to win.  His flop *** has only once made it to episode 4.

Actually yes he does. He deserves it more than some other people on this show honestly.

It is weird to think but alot of people were able to skate by in big team challenges and pick up wins while all the challenges now are pretty much pairs making it far more difficult to pick up a win.

Jamies are undefeated on Challenges (as of Bloodlines).

Jamie Murray won Extreme Challenge, Battle of the Sexes, and Gauntlet 2

Jamie Chung won Inferno 2

Jamie Banks won Bloodlines

Bascially. In team challenges as long as you preformed well and were an ***et to the team you stayed. In pair challlenges being a good competitor makes you a huge target and more likely to go.

This is about the rw, but Sydney is the only rw season without a black cast member. 

I'm pretty sure at least.  I might be wrong tho. 

Nehemiah is the last black guy that had won challenge (Gauntlet 3)

Janelle is the last black girl that had won challenge (Inferno 3)

Yep, you're right. As for Road Rules, Islands and X-Treme both didn't have black cast members.

I always found it interesting how Road Rules' first LGBT cast member was Sophia on the TENTH season.

Good find--never thought of that but dead right

That's actually shocking...too bad Darrell hit Brad

We haven't had a good black female in a long time...well, maybe Nia.  Leroy not winning is absurd

Cara Maria has now won more money than Landon...smh

Cara Maria has now won more money than Landon...smh

UGH!  I hate this fact!

Cara Maria has now won more money than Landon...smh

That hurts my heart and soul.

Same, I wanted to cry when I saw this

On Wikipedia, it says for the males that Tyrie, Leroy, Adam K, Danny, and Eric are all tied with the most amount of seasons without winning a final. It's scary to think that if Leroy would show up on one more challenge and lose, he would break that tie..

Jonna and Nia are the only black females capable of winning in this era so it's not a shocker that there aren't many victories from that demographic

whats more disturbing is that jenn, Theresa, nany, Avery, Camilla in total have only one win, two second places where they won poverty money that can barely afford two beef chalupas from Taco Bell, 8 final appearances(4 of which are from jenn), more elimination round losses than victories in more than 25+ challenges participate in altogether. Those are pathetic stats when u also factor that all those girls are great/good competitors that are capable of so much more. "The Challenge" Has been Donald trumpin these chicks for so many years now 

****, that's deep smdh poor things. 

I think in an old school, larger team format though, those stats would be FAR mor impressive. God I'm so over pairs

Yep. I think most of the people that do the shows now would do well in a big team format.

Not sure if mentioned but,

3 females now, all having similar experiences (doing well, going far, only to lose at the end or be screwed by something like a partner quitting or a friend stabbing them in the back) consistently losing the game, went on to finally get their first win on their EIGHTH attempt. Paula (Rivals I), Sarah R. (Exes II), Cara Maria (Bloodlines). Interesting to note, EDIT: Nvm. Spoiler.

The final girls of the Grey Team in Cutthroat (2011) went on to win a challenge back to back to back starting with Free Agents (2014)

Laurel won Free Agents (2014)

Sarah won Battle of the Exes II (2015)

Cara Maria won Battle of the Bloodlines (2016)

That's actually really cool.

Slay *****ez. 

Despite being two of the most notorious & popular challengers of all time, with 16 season appearances between them, Aneesa & The MIz shared only one season, which was Battle of the Sexes 2.  They were never seen interacting, acknowledging the other's presence or even uttering the other's name.  

Are there any other infamous players that have had little to no interaction?

For some reason, Coral and Paula stand out to me.
