The Challenge Series: RW/RR (Generic Thread)

[QUOTE=El Scorcho;190817]Of the hundreds of missions that we've seen, your favorite one was where 32 people held onto a floating contraption and it shook and people feel off and it lasted a minute? That was your favorite mission of all time?![/QUOTE] LOL, it was a tough decision but one word......CHADWICK(he was such an awesome competitor). He made that mission for me, plus there were three Road Rules teams left hanging, while all the Real World teams dropped......and as a huge Road Rules fan, I liked that. The runner up mission is Mud Bath on the Gauntlet 1.

Does MTV have final say in the cast or is it BMP? Also, does MTV choose the location/theme or BMP? Or both?

[QUOTE=RubenJay05;191130]Does MTV have final say in the cast or is it BMP? Also, does MTV choose the location/theme or BMP? Or both?[/QUOTE] As far as the cast goes, BMP asks a bunch of castmembers who is [I]available [/I]to participate. Then, from those responses, BMP creates a cast list of who it wants to officially invite. BMP then sends that list over to MTV for final approval, and then BMP starts officially asking castmembers once it gets the OK from MTV.

I wanna see more Janelle!

[QUOTE=TheKorean;191149]I wanna see more Janelle![/QUOTE] Seriously! Only the Inferno III and Gauntlet III?! Come on! She even appeared on RW: Hollywood and she doesn't come back for anymore challenges? It would be awesome if she and Will (From RW Hollywood) went on a challenge together.

Favorite Challenge: Inferno 3 Favorite cast: Inferno 2 bad ***** Favorite opening intro: Inferno 3 Favorite episode: Gauntlet 2 Piece by Piece Favorite mission: Push Over Favorite male challenger: Derrick Favorite female challenger: Coral Favorite team: The Ruins Champions Favorite male elimination round: Wes vs Derrick (Pole Wrestle: The Duel) Favorite female elimination round: Svetlana vs Beth (Push Me: The Duel) Favorite victory: Derrick (gauntlet 2) Favorite moment: Tonya and her guys Favorite fight: Derrick vs. Johhny in the Ruins, episode 5.

I feel BMP and especially Jon Murray have respect for the old school cast members. If you've watched him in interviews, he knows literally EVERYTHING about EVERY cast member. It's crazy. I could see him pushing for older cast members and MTV shutting him down.

In all honestly Im sick of Wes and Kenny. Their 'rivalry' has become sooo played and contrived.

7. Balls to the wall

[B]DON'T YOU THINK THE GAUNTLET 3 WOULD OF BEEN BETTER IF:[/B] 1. The Veterans weren't so stacked! 2. The eliminations in the gauntlet would of took place at night than day. 3. The challenges would have more face-to-face challenges than doing challenges like Blind Man's Maze, I Dig You, and the Drying with water challenge (Even though they were still cool and different) ... They should of made more challenges like Pinata Ball! WHO AGREES?

[QUOTE=faceless;191233]7. Balls to the wall[/QUOTE] 8. Chopping Block

"110%" This one drives me crazy.

They should of made more challenges like Pinata Ball! WHO AGREES?[/QUOTE] I don't even think it was so much that the veterans were stacked (which of course they were) but the rules of the missions. It seemed like almost every mission favored the team with more people since most of the time it was just a whichever teams gets more people to do this kinda thing, which pretty much ruined the rookies hopes of winning anything. And my #2 thing is that they need to get rid of TJ. Sorry TJ, you're a true competitor and you killed it... "it" being the challenge series.. and you gave it your all but we hope we won't see you host ever again.

9. Stab you/me in the back.

I would say another annoying phrase is when people say who does or doesn't "deserve" to be there. In my opinion if you made it to the end, you deserve to be there. That means you either played a great game competitively, socially, or just managed to stay off the radar, which is a feat in and of itself.

10. Well-oiled machine (mainly used only by Wes in FM2) This one annoyed the **** out of me.

11. Wes

[QUOTE=faceless;191278]11. Wes[/QUOTE] Are you trying to imply that Wes being on these challenges is overused?? If so, I completely agree. Wes gets on my nerves. :)
