The Challenge Series: RW/RR (Generic Thread)

I just didn't like the people on it or how it ended. It would've been a cool concept had it not favored people like Kenny, Johnny, etc.

I would have loved the island if it had more older challengers

[quote=salt&vinegar;84958]I would have loved the island if it had more older challengers[/quote] I think it would have been a lot more interesting if Rachel and Abram were at the end.

Someone refresh my memory... I know Abram asked to be sent home, but did Rachel ask to leave too? I try to block out as much of The Island as possible.

[quote=Lamb Chop!!!;84962]Someone refresh my memory... I know Abram asked to be sent home, but did Rachel ask to leave too?

To be honest, I think Rachel would have jumped on the bandwagon along with Johnny and company anyways. Rachel is one of those people that will do whatever it takes to win.

[quote=tjhallow;84959]I think it would have been a lot more interesting if Rachel and Abram were at the end.[/quote] If those two were there, I'm pretty sure the winning boat would have been Abram, Derrick, Johnny and Kenny.

I think bmp should come up with 3 formats and let ppl vote on which one they want. The same with cast like have 10 females and 10 males that are old time vets and decide on the one we want.

A great article on Slate about The Challenge Series: [URL="http://www.slate.com/id/2220529/pagenum/all/#p2"]Why I can't stop watching The Real World/Road Rules Challenge.[/URL]

Here is my favorite part...I wonder who they were talking about? [quote]All the requisite reality TV stereotypes are present and accounted for, often in multiples: the psycho, the good guy, the gay, the lesbian, the ********, the minority, the meathead, the drunk, the *******, the *****, the sweetheart, the floozy--even the cancer survivor.[/quote]

[quote=Zachary;85016]That won't work because half of us would pick BOTSexes 3 while the younger audience would pick something even more lame than The Island.[/quote] Agreed. I am dying for BOTS3!!!

[quote=Debut Album;85074]You know I wouldn't mind another Battle of the Sexes either.....Only to see the Men win once again. :)[/quote] I thought the Ruins would be a battle of the sexes 3, well until V1 and Bacchus posted why it would not be BOTS3. This may be stupid but I thought there was some kind of foreshadowing theme to it. Gauntlet 3--The Veterans horrible treatment of the ladies (specifically Katie, Coral, and Beth) The Island-- Johnny and Kenny's behavior, making fun of the girls building the boat (however, I'm going to have to agree with the guys on this one, I wouldn't want Robin building my boat) RW Brooklyn-- Men. vs. Woman was sort of like a theme to that season. The drama on the girls side would be crazy! Can you imagine a team with Coral, Kelly Anne, Katie, Beth, Veronica, Rachel, Evelynn? INSANE!

The best part from the article from the link that B posted was "The only predictable thing about the show is the way host T.J. Lavin praises players by saying "You killed it" in his skater-dude monotone, week in and week out."

I loved that article. Anybody else who doen't watch the show, and bags on it, definitely needs to take a read. TJ don't worry, I thought BOTS 3 was bound to happen too.

there will NEVER be another battle of the sexes unfortunately. There was a thread about this. Due to copyright reasons they can never use that title and use that format =(. The only way they can do it is if BMP pays a certain amount of money to the people who copyrighted it and it's REALLY expensive so yeah...

I just figured they didn't do another BOTSEXES because the guys always win... especially on the second one. They freaking dominated the season. Speaking of that, I'll ask this question here. What's the biggest blow out between teams out of all the challenges? I wasn't sure if it'd be the second BOTSEXES, or Gauntlet 3. I know on BOTS 2 the girls won what, 3 missions? I can't remember on Gauntlet 3 because like The Island, I try to block it out of my memory.

G3 Rookies was so pitifully cast, it wasn't even funny. The only decent ones, in my opinion, were Frank, Jill, and Tori. Derek and Zach would go in the Maybe Pile. Sliders really ruined G3...

I laughed for days about that... but that could be because I had no life at the time, and still don't actually.

The rookies from Gauntlet 3 had the suckiest team in rookie history. They still lost the final mission, and didn't get their chest hours after the Veteran team caught up to them and got theirs out of the sand. If the Veterans would have took their time with Eric, they still would have won. You don't go balls out to the end. The Island was a pretty big blowout but that was a different type of challenge, and to say the teams were lopsided well, battle of the sexes? Once again, men vs. the woman. I don't really count the Island, it was a completely different challenge. I liked how on the Gauntlet 3 reunion, Nedermeyer was like to Evan "Your bitter because you lost." Then Evan was talking about how all the rookies were laying in the sand while Frank dug their chest out. Seriously, they sucked. The suckiest team in challenge history.

I think G2 rookies were alot stronger than G3 rookies.

[quote=dplayer18;85414]I think G2 rookies were alot stronger than G3 rookies.[/quote] OMG Yes. Lets do the math here.. [U]Gauntlet 2 Veterans [/U]Aneesa David Katie Mark Robin Timmy [U]Gauntlet 2 Rookies[/U] Alton Ibis Jamie Jodi Kina Landon MJ Susie Randy Yeah the final females veterans were Aneesa, Katie, and Robin? Good thing they quit. Now out of the final veterans were Mark, Timmy, and David? Ok Mark and Timmy versus Alton, Jamie, Landon, Randy, and MJ? I don't know about you but Alton, Jamie, and Landon are on my top 10 strongest competitors..lol. David sucks. If it was an actual final mission like the ones we see now, the rookies would have still blown the vets out of the water.

They definitely are stronger. I don't know much about Jamie. But Alton is my favorite challenger and Landon's up there too. They definitely are top competitors. I think the Vets team would have done better if Derrick was captain, but they would have still lost. David does suck, he is crazy for thinking he could beat Derrick in the gauntlet.

Can't they just revamp the BOTSexes format into something completely different?
