I wish they had changed the lifeshield rules on Inferno 2 where males could only win it on male inferno days and females could only win it on female inferno days. If that happened, Tonya would have won it after that motorbike daily and it would have been good TV to see Rachel, Veronica, and Tina being nervous. Also Jodi and Rachel would have won it on the zip line daily so instead of Veronica vs Jodi it most likely would have been Rachel vs Julie, Jamie, or Shavonda.

Nothing against Jodi but I'm glad Shavonda nor Jamie had to go into that elimination.  I enjoyed them much more that season than Jodi.

In hindsight yes (for me)...only because we never saw them again after that season sadly lol but Jodi has always been one of my favs, I'm very partial to the ladies from XTreme <3 loved them all.  

I have a soft spot for RR Xtreme. I really enjoyed it and they had fun/physical missions and some funny ones too. I might be  alone on this island but my favorite Xtreme girl was Angela. Good at  missions and everyone just hated her bc she was so blunt. lol. I loved that on Battle of the sexes 2 she was voted off not bc she was bad at missions but bc the girls said she rubbed them the wrong way. She and Rachel didn't get along, imagine if they did rivals together. So sad we didnt get Angela for Inferno 2 and Gauntlet 2. She was asked for both but turned them down.

I loved Angela on Sexes 2 as well.  Realluy wish she would have accepted to come back again.  Any news on her cancer?  Is she in remission or still battling it?

 

Gauntlet needs to go on Netflix!

Still my favorite season of all-time.  So many one-hit wonders for me on that season.  Everyone talks about Irulan and Sarah G but I loved Rachel B.  Plus, it was sadly the last time we saw Elka and Roni.  

Freaking love the original Gauntlet. Sad we never saw more of Sarah G, Rachel B, & Irulan after that season.  I'm still shocked they never even gave Elka a call after this season,.  Like she was a great competitor, had drama with the Miz, was close with Coral - she seemed like a shoe in to pop back in for at least either The Inferno or Sexes 2.  Elka is one alum who I know would seem super random, but I would love to appear on the OG challenge.  She's a Challenge champ, entertaining, and still in great shape.  

Elka is my #2 favorite to return after Tina. 

Angela's sideways bangs will always make me laugh, what a choice.

I remember disliking Elka on The Gauntlet but I think that's because I was Team Trishelle haha. She should have definitely returned for BOTS2 or G2.

Rewatching the Ruins and I really do think that was the best final ever. Horrible competitiveness during the missions but the eliminations and final were great 

I've never seen the Gauntlet 1. That show should be a must.

When Miz got mad that Landon saved him from going into an elimination. That was hilarious

it's on youtube - which i know can be a little annoying to watch on, but it's def. worth it.  One of the best seasons with an amazing cast <3

The best was they knew Karamo had to throw it for a speaking engagement so Mike was just worried about looking weak to WWE.  Its so funny.

No worries. In fact that's how i first saw Inferno 2 on YouTube.

i lied - dailymotion. lol

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x6j1xj1 is the first episode.   

I like Svetlana but I wish Beth would have won that Elimination. It would have been great to continue watching her annoy the drama mafia and and seeing her potentially knocking them out from the competition.

agreed.  I really think had she not dq'd she has a shot at the final, especially if she worked with Aneesa.  Those two could have picked off everyone else. 

I also would have loved to see how it would have played out if Svetlana would have called out DIem, Kina, etc. instead of Beth.  She still made it to the end but I feel like having some sort of alliance is better than none.  Still a great season though <3 

Love me some Beth, but it was way more fun seeing Svet steamroll her way to the final, snapping kina in the process all while wanting to just go home.

I really pray they put all the missing seasons of this and The Real World on CBS All Access.

Also add Road Rules while we're at it. I don't understand why they don't have them on there.

I would guess the only reason they havent is because some stuff happened that wwould earn them a lot of back lash in 2020 that didnt back in 1990 when it was coming out. Times have changed I cant imagine being on the real world in the 90s and having a good career now and having to worry about the dumb shit i said as an 18 year old come back to haunt me.

True--watching Survivor Marquesas now and Boston Rob comes across as a homophobic.  Whether or not that's fair I'm sure when watching it 18 years ago very few people thought anything about it.   Derrick & Patrick won't come across very good in Xtreme when dealing with Danny (RIP) either

They have old seasons of BB and Survivor where they say offensive things. I don't think The Challenge and Road Rules were ever that bad and if they were it usually turned into good convos...that was the beauty of the show. I really hope they put old seasons! I want to watch Chicago so bad.

They could add disclaimers

I wish they casted from Big Brother and Survivor a while ago around the early seasons. 

A young Janelle woukd have been fun to watch. Not sure who else could have been on but the April and Keesha for a rivals season would have been fun. Amanda Kimbel would have been a good choice with James Clement.

I feel like we would have gotten people like Alison Irwin, Diane Henry and Drew Daniel if it was around Fresh Meat.  Survivor would have probably been people like Silas Gaither unfortunately

What would be the disclaimer?

****Please be aware this was filmed in a time before everyone wanted to be offended.  The language used was considered harmless at the time.****

Same Big Brother did lol. It's not a good look for shows when they should deal with instead of hiding behind a disclaimer.

They have plenty of problematic shit available to watch, that's 100% not the reason. lol that people even think that.

Oh its not THE reason but there would be backlash

I doubt they would be that many even watching on cbs all access.  

Y'all remember on Inferno first episode and it was Darrell's turn to go on the zip line and Timmy refers to him as "Dirty Darrell"... Y'all think that would receive backlash nowadays? I just want to a get a sense of what people think would be deemed offensive from those earlier years...

This may be ignorance on my part but is dirty in that context a racial slur? In sports when we called someone dirty it usually was meant as a compliment or term of endearment lol.
