Real World/Road Rules Challenge: - Gauntlet III

Network: MTV

Host: TJ Lavin (contestants listed below)

The Real Worlders and the Road Rulers are back to team up and compete for $400,000 in cash and prizes. Seeing as these people can never seem to get alone, I’m sure we can expect as much drama as we’ve seen in previous seasons. This season will include hour-long episodes. Below is the list of contestants:

Veterans: Coral (RW: Back to New York), Beth (RW: Los Angeles), Katie (RR: The Quest), Robin (RW: San Diego), Paula (RW: Key West), Ev (Fresh Meat), Casey (Fresh Meat), Diem (Fresh Meat), CT (RW: Paris), Brad (RW: San Diego), Danny (RW: Austin), Eric (Fresh Meat), Evan (Fresh Meat), Kenny (Fresh Meat), Johnny (RW: Key West), Adam (RW: Paris).

Rookies: Johanna (RW: Austin), Brooke (RW: Denver), Melinda (RW: Austin), Janelle (RE: Key West), Rachel (RW: Austin), Jillian (RR: The Extreme), Angel (RR: Viewer's Revenge), Tori (RR: Viewer's Revenge), Tyrie (RR: Denver), Alex (RW: Denver), Tyler (RW: Key West), Nehemiah (RW: Austin), Zach (RW: Key West), Derek (RR: Viewer's Revenge), Frank (RW: Las Vegas), Ryan (Fresh Meat).

I’ve long since given up watching MTV’s reality shows regularly. That said, there’s nothing like a good Real World or Road Rules marathon on a Sunday when there’s nothing else to watch or do. The same applies to The Gauntlet. In fact, I actually like the RW/RR challenges better because there’s more drama and crazy competitions that make people cry. So chances are, I’ll probably get around to watching this season if/when the network decides to air a whole block of them at a time.
