I know, I just wrote those 3 girls because of their athletic background.
I was going to put Camila, Sarah and Cara Maria. But I feel like they need to take a break.
I feel like every guy elimination round would be good, if they have a guy cast like this.
Same with the girls maybe except a couple, but I feel like the 6 first time rookies would hold their own.

Yeah I had a lot of time on my hand today...;)
8 male and female competitors each.... Can you find them?;)
I'd love to see a Gauntlet IV. Although that may not happen, I still think we are likely to see the Veterans and Rookies lineup at some point.
My ideal (yet realistic) lineup for a near future
Veterans
[U]GIRLS[/U]
[B]Emily Schromm (RW: DC)
Cara Maria Sorbello (Fresh Meat II)
Mandi Moyer (Fresh Meat II)
Camila Nakagawa (Spring Break)
Coral Smith (RW: B2NY)
Trishelle Cannatella (RW: Las Vegas)
Elka Walker (RW: Boston)[/B], perhaps the only one on this list that would be iffy. She hasn't done one of these in eight years, but if Trishelle can be lured back, I'm sure our favorite rebellious Catholic can as well. Besides, I'd love to watch Elka, who is one of the strongest girls on both The Gauntlet and BOTS 1 beat Trishelle in an elimination round after Trishelle screwed her over on The Gauntlet due to her relationship with The Miz. Since Coral and Trishelle are apparently friends now, it'd be interesting to see how Coral and Elka would react since they were close as well.
[B]KellyAnne Judd (RW: Sydney)[/B]
I don't put Sarah Rice on here because she's done 6 in a row; that's a record with Veronica. If Sarah really wants to break this record, I think she's nuts. She needs to be put on a break.
[U]
MEN[/U]
[B]Chet Cannon (RW: Brooklyn)[/B]
[B]Wes Bergemann (RW: Austin)[/B] - he needs to put Frank in his place. Enough said.
[B]JD Ordonez (RW: Brooklyn)
Brandon Nelson (Fresh Meat II)
Leroy Garrett (RW: Las Vegas 2011)
Cohutta Grindstaff (RW: Sydney)
Shane Landrum (RR: Campus Crawl),[/B] possibly a long shot considering the rumors stating that production does not want him back after Viewers' Revenge. However, since Ryan is his ex, it would be interesting to see what kind of drama would ensue if these two were on the same team. [B]
Ryan Kehoe (Fresh Meat I)
[/B]Rookies
[U]GIRLS[/U]
[B]Mallory Snyder (RW: Paris)[/B] - she says she wants to come back, and with MTV bringing back older school vets as of late (Syrus on the Ruins, Jillian on X-Treme, Abram on Cutthroat, Robin/Anessa/Rachel/Mark on Exes and Rivals), I think it's likely.
[B]Marie Roda (RW: St Thomas)[/B]
[B]Nany Gonzalez (RW: Back To Las Vegas)[/B]
[B]Nia Moore (RW: Portland)[/B], seems like the best bet for anyone out of the Portland cast.
[B]Kelley Limp (RW: New Orleans), [/B]I saw somewhere she wanted to do another one? She was a BEAST in the original BOTS.
[B]Ashley Lindley (RW: DC)
Lacey Buehler (RW: Austin)
Laura Waller (RW: St Thomas)[/B]
[U]BOYS[/U]
[B]Zach Nichols (RW: San Diego 2011)
Frank Sweeney (RW: San Diego 2011)
Marlon Williams (RW: Portland)[/B], seems to be the best candidate from the Portland cast.
[B]Issac Stout (RW: Sydney)
Michael Ross (RW: Las Vegas 2011)
Steven Hill (RW: Las Vegas 2002)[/B], This one may be a stretch, but if he was supposedly asked for BOTS and if they really want to bring back some old school rookies, Steven is a great choice.
[B]Mike Manning (RW: DC)[/B]
[B]Danny Roberts (RW: New Orleans),[/B] also a long shot, but I'd love to see him return as well along with Kelley.
[B]Ryan Knight [/B](RW: Back To New Orleans)
The Inferno 4

I agree that MTV could and may continue their 'Battle' saga, with some form of Generations, or Centuries. I don't think they would follow the exact format of BOTS, with teams of four. But I would like to see what they could pull off.
Just came up with a pretty cool challenge concept, although it will never happen because it does't consist of any new faces, it would be interesting to see. Similar rules to Rivals, alternated guy/girl elimination days with only 4 pairs making it to the finals, 2 guy pairs and 2 girl pairs.
The Challenge: Champions
Guy Pairs:
Battle of the Seasons- Frank (RW: San Diego 2011) & Zach (RW: San Diego 2011)
Rivals: Johnny (RW: Key West) & Tyler (RW: Key West)
The Ruins: Derrick (RR: X-Treme) & Kenny (Fresh Meat)
Fresh Meat: Landon (RW: Philadelphia) & Darrell (RR: Campus Crawl)
The Duel: Wes (RW: Austin) & Evan (Fresh Meat)
Cutthroat: Dunbar (RW: Sydney) & Brad (RW: San Diego)
Girl Pairs:
The Duel: Jodi (RR: X-Treme) & Rachel (RR: Campus Crawl)
Rivals: Evelyn (Fresh Meat) & Paula (RW: Key West)
The Gauntlet 2: Ibis (RR: X-Treme) & Susie (RR: Down Under)
The Inferno: Katie (RR: The Quest) & Veronica (RR: Semester at Sea)
The Gauntlet III: Tori (RR: Viewer's Revenge) & Jillian (RR: X-Treme)
Battle of the Seasons: Ashley (RW: San Diego 2011) & Sam (RW: San Diego 2011)
If I could have recast Rivals and restart the 'Battle' Saga, only slight modifications:
BATTLE OF THE RIVALS*
Evelyn Smith and Paula Meronek
Aneesa Ferreira & Robin Hibbard
Jasmine Reynaud & Jonna Mannion
Jenn Grijalva & Mandi Moyer
Cara Maria Sorbello & Laurel Stucky
Johanna Botta & KellyAnne Judd
Parisa & Trisha Cummings
Katie Doyle & Veronica Portillo
Adam King & Chris Tamburello
Kenny Santucci & Wes Bergmann
Johnny Devenanzio & Tyler Duckworth
Adam Royer & Leroy Garret
Preston Charles & Ryan Leslie
Davis & Mallory & Tyrie Ballard
Evan Starkman & Nehemiah Clark
Brandon Nelson & Ty Ruff
would continue on to
BATTLE OF THE EXES
Chris Tamburello & Diem Brown
Mark Long & Robin Hibbard
Cohutta Grindstaff & KellyAnne Judd
Wes Berhgmann & Johanna Bota
Leroy Garret & Naomi Defensor
Dustin Zito & Heather Marter
Danny Jamieson & Melinda Stolp
Alton Williams & Irulan Wilson
Abram Boise & Cara Maria Sorbello
Ty Ruff & Emily Schromm
Zach Nichols & Ashley Kelsey

These pairs would have been nice to see. I would have loved to see KellyAnne and Wes though. They would have been the ultimate team from Cohutta/KellyAnne and Johanna/Wes (even though Cohutta beat Wes in The Ruins). Frank and Jillian could have easily beat Johnny Bananas and Camila. I would have loved to see that.
Battle of the Sexes 3:
Original Score Board format from the original Battle of the Sexes with an inner circle every week. The player with the lowest points automatically goes into an elimination round. The Inner Circle of each team gets to pick another player to battle against them. A guy & a girl will go home each week.

I don't think I can do a cast because I wouldn't be able to get it down to the ones I'd want...a dream cast would be huge but I guess I can try to do two teams of 16. I realize I only have one newbie...and she is from Phili and it would be a stretch to get her...and pregnacy's aside this is my list...although there are a lot of 'dream' people I'd love to see on it (Elka, Anne RR NT, Sarah G, Jermey B, Ace, Irulan, etc...I tried to stay kind of realistic. I also hate Frank and Zach...but would love to see them get creamed by some true heavy hitters! I also loved Lacey, and would love to see her again, she had great commentary with Wes...but she didn't make this list. Same with Trishelle...although Trishele could take McKenzie spot.

Abram and Mark would have been interesting selections. However, I feel those two are much stronger competitors than Evan and Syrus overall. I liked having Syrus there; it would have been nice though to see him intervene with the whole Tanya situation more. But with this revised cast and a lack of Evan, the Tonya situations may have never happened, thank God.
Having Tori instead of Ibis would have massively changed the game. In my honest opinion, we would have seen Katie and Veronica gone sooner, and that would not be good for ratings: these two are two of the biggest Challenge personalities ever. Having Tori and Ev on the same team is like asking to have Laurel and Emily Schromm on the same team: it won't happen.
It would have been nice to see Scott as some new blood, but if one were to have CT, it would only be appropriate to have Diem there. However, Diem had to leave early for her job, hence why she threw her Ruins to Tonya. Random site note, but, ironically, Jisela had to do the same thing in the Gauntlet II. I'm shocked Diem was brought back after doing that, since Jisela wasn't. The change in females was nice; Robin is very underrated as a competitor. I'm shocked she has only made one final. I'm assuming Paula was asked for the Ruins... but she likely said no, because she has been asked (and done) for every challenge since her debut, I'm pretty sure, besides The Ruins and the present Battle of the Seasons.
Random question, does anyone know if a Key West team was actually due to form? I'm assuming not, since the only female I could think of that would actually be on the team would be Paula Walnuts herself. Svetlana is over MTV and Janelle hasn't been seen since Gauntlet III in which Jillian kicked her ***.

Gauntlet IV: Old School vs New School
The teams would be divided based on their seasons. The Old School team would consist of cast members who were either on Road Rules (minus Viewers Revenge) or on RW 1-15 (Philadelphia). The New School Team would consist of Fresh Meat, Viewers Revenge, and cast members from RW: Austin to the present, since cast members from Austin made their debut on Fresh Meat. This is more of a fantasy lineup than a realistic lineup. There would be 36 cast members, with 9 members from each *** on each team.

[B]Making it realistic:[/B] We very likely will not see Veronica ever again. If Trishelle were to be cast in Veronica's place, I could see Coral being cast. But Coral likely won't come back unless more of her friends with there, so I'd likely cast Anessa instead. We haven't heard from Elka in years, so she may not be likely, yet she still keeps in touch with cast members, so it's possible she could come back. I found her to be very entertaining and would love to see her and Trishelle on the same team. Katie's school may conflict. Possible alternates would include Cara (RR 12, hey, if Susie's on there...) or Anessa (RW 11).

[B]Making it realistic: [/B]I doubt Big Easy will come back, but every team has to have a weak link. If he doesn't come back, they'll have Danny to fall back on. Otherwise, I think this cast is fairly realistic. Dustin may or may not be up in the air, but who knows.
[I]Girls[/I]
Ev Smith (Fresh Meat)
Diem Brown (Fresh Meat)
Melinda Stolp (RW 16)
Jenn Grijalva (RW 18)
Paula Meronek (RW 17)
Emily Schromm (RW 23)
Cara Maria Sorbello (FM2)
Laurel Stucky (FM2)
Nany Gonzalez (RW 25)
[B]Making it realistic: [/B]Ev likely won't come back unless there is a Duel 3. Diem is hit or miss. Jenn claims to be done, and Laurel is busy with her work. So, in lieu of those four, I'd cast Marie Roda (RW 27), Mandi Moyer (Fresh Meat 2), Camila (Spring Break), and Sarah Rice (RW21). I want to say Tori, but I know she's likely never coming back.
[B]Or... if they did Battle of the Seasons 3, like the original season...
[/B][B]1) Real World LA: [/B]Jon and Beth[B] (let's hope they wouldn't lose first again)
2) Real World Boston:[/B] Syrus and Elka[B]
3) Real World Miami: [/B]Dan and Cynthia[B]
4) Real World Hawaii: [/B]Ruthie and Colin[B]
5) Real World NO: [/B]Julie and David B.[B]
6) Real World Chicago: [/B]Theo and Anessa[B]
7) Real World Las Vegas: [/B]Trishelle and Steven[B]8) Real World Paris: [/B]Mallory and CT[B]
9) Fresh Meat: [/B]Kenny and Diem[B]
10) Fresh Meat II: [/B]Laurel and Brandon[B]
11) Real World Austin: [/B]Wes and Melinda[B]
12) Road Rules X-Treme: [/B]Derrick and Jillian[B]
13) Road Rules Australia: [/B]Susie and Kefla[B]
14) Real World B2LV: [/B]Nany and Leroy[B]
15) RW St Thomas: [/B]Marie and Robb[B]
16) RW DC: [/B]Emily and Ty[B]

This is a three team, 10 player per team challenge. I guess it could be Cutthroat 2 but that format wasn't my favorite. The three teams are Past, Present & Future.
I tried to make it as realistic as possible.
