The Challenge Series: RW/RR (Generic Thread)

Battle of the Sexes 1 was the first one I watched. My sister and mom were into it before I was I think though, so they probably saw more before I did.

The first one(and the first RW/RR/Challenge anything i watched) was Road Rules All Stars

My memory is a little fuzzy, but I believe my first RW/RR Challenge was Gauntlet 3. I didn't even watch the whole season, but I remember some of the elimination rounds.

My first challenge I believe was probably BOTS1, at least as far as I can remember. I may have seen older ones. Definitely saw Gauntlet 1. I believe maybe one of the oldest RR I saw was the one where they chose who would be in Real World and who would be in Road Rules (maybe my memory is fuzzy also). I also saw the RR with Kina, the one with Derrick, the one with Abe and the one with Rachel. Can't fully remember all the details like some of the addicts...

My first Challenge season I watched was the first Challenge, Road Rules: All Stars. The only season I haven't watched is The Island which I only saw the last two episodes of.

The first season that I remember watching and remember clearly is Battle of the Seasons. The first Road Rules I watched was Campus Crawl and the first Real World I watched was the second half of Back to New York. I remember sneaking into my brother's room just to watch them.

Atm I havent actually gone through a single season of the real world yet :P Yet ive managed to go through three Road Rules seasons (Down Under/Semester at Sea and Campus Crawl) and ALL seasons of the challenge (Including the Spring Break special). I have struggled with 3 seasons of the show though :P Them being Inferno 2 (Had been watching all seasons in a row and was bored of the Vee/Rachel/Tonya/Tina/Miz/Abram show), The Island (Similar reason to Inferno 2, plus the pacing sucked) and Fresh meat 2 (Boring boring boring). That said, both 'Battle of the Sexes' seasons had moments which dragged horribly. A good example being one ep in BOTS2 where both the boots were telegraphed by the editors about 5 minutes into the episode (Shawn/Angela). Unfortunatly Gauntlet 3 did that a lot too (Paula explaining how she likes Derek without any previous footage of this, Janelle getting an invisible edit then suddenly appearing, Tyler practically screaming 'YAY im a goner!' and Eric giving the game away before the final challenge even begun)

The first Challenge I watched was Duel 2, but I've since gone back and watched a lot of the older ones. The first RW I watched was Cancun, I've gone back and watched/am watching a few seasons, and I've only seen VR, SaS, and a little of Down Under for Road Rules. None of which were on TV, though. I'm fairly new to the RW/RR scene :P

My first Challenge: Fresh Meat even though I saw the last few episodes of BOTS 1 in the 5th grade lol. I've caught up with some of the past seasons though (BOTS 2, both Infernos, and Gauntlet 1) My First Road Rules: Viewers Revenge -_- My first Real World: Denver even though I've watched the whole San Fran season thanks to mtv.com.

The first challenge I watched was the Gauntlet 2, I haven't missed one since. I've also went back and watched BOTS1, Gauntlet 1, Inferno 1 & 2.

So Johnny B tweeted the new challenge is premiering June 22nd. Woo!!

I started watching the challenges religiously during the Inferno II. I watched the Gauntlet-BOTS2 when it was on TV but I never followed it. I've watched every challenge from Inferno II-Cutthroat, haven't missed one. I have no desire to watch any challenges prior to the Gauntlet because no one from then is around anymore. I never watched Road Rules, and the first Real World I watched was San Diego. But I don't watch the RW religiously. I saw bits and pieces San Diego, Philadelphia, Sydney, and Brooklyn. I watched all of Austin, Cancun, New Orleans 2, and Las Vegas 2 so far. I didn't watch any of Hollywood, Key West, or Denver.

[QUOTE=Debut Album;245909]Yep that's it. Michelle from Europe was on that Challenge.[/QUOTE] I loved that challange and it hooked me until FM then I stopped watching until Dual 2 got me hooked again.

Mark, Aneesa, Tonya, Rachel, Ruthie were all on Battle of the Sexes 1 (Before the Gauntlet 1).

[QUOTE=jhl182;246004]Not true. Mark, Aneesa, Tonya, Rachel, Ruthie were all on Battle of the Sexes 1 (Before the Gauntlet 1).[/QUOTE] Okay, 5 people. I was talking about the majority of people from before Gauntlet 1, haven't been back past Fresh Meat.

My first Real World was Denver, although I went back and watched Philadelphia, Austin, and Key West. My first challenge was The Duel, but I went back and watched Inferno II, Gauntlet 2, and Fresh Meat. Unfortunately, the only Road Rules season I watched was Viewers Revenge.. since none of the other ones were online.

Hey Pm me where you wathced Philadelphia Key West. I haven't seen those two in a while.

My first RW season was Austin. I've probably only watched 4.5 (watching this current Vegas season) full RW seasons overall. I started watching Challenges before RW.

Just saw Angela Trimbur (RR: X-Treme) on a new Tosh.0!

[QUOTE=andrewsz1991;246030]Hey Pm me where you wathced Philadelphia Key West. I haven't seen those two in a while.[/QUOTE] I'm pretty sure you can watch Key West on mtv.com and Philly is on Amazon video. It's crazy how you can watch Key West on mtv.com but not Austin.

[QUOTE=jhl182;246036]Just saw Angela Trimbur (RR: X-Treme) on a new Tosh.0![/QUOTE] She was in the "Halloween II" remake in 2009. I knew I recognized her from somewhere and it bugged me so badly. I finally Googled it and remembered her from BOTS2.

My first challenge I watched was the first bots. I think the first real world I watched all the way through was the Hawaii season.

I've always wondered who the closeted gays/bi-sexuals were, especially after reading Colins old blog about BOTS1 and interviews. Shane even said a comment on BOTS2 that hes happy that an openly gay guy is on a challenge (Nick) because he was sick of all the closeted/curious guys on the challenges. And in interview from Tina back from Fresh Meat. "duckyxdale: A reader asks: You’ve seen a good amount of the RR/RW men naked, right? They’re always skinny dipping and wrestlin’ naked or something... Who’s packing the most heat down under? Tina: I try not to look too much. But yes, I have seen almost every man naked on these things. But trust me girls, a majority of these guys aren't interested in impressing the women... if you know what i mean."

It's been said by a few cast members that a certain short tempered Bostonian plays for both teams. Although he's never confirmed... or asked really. I had my suspicions about Northern Trail Dan... he was a little too eager to kiss Yes on Challenge 2000. Antoine loved Shane and wasn't very shy of showing it. Although Genesis said he tried to show her his junk a few times. Las Vegas Steven has always been iffy with me. Other than them no one really comes to mind... maybe Landon or Blair? And then of course the obvious weirdly-close friendship of Kenny and Evan.
