The Real World/The Challenge Thread

[NYDCYankee]

Now this might wind up being a thread for just me and Rhodey. But I think at this point this should deserves it's own thread that we can go back to every time a new season starts up.

As per usual, previews of this season show that there will be lots of fighting/crying/hookups/drama.

The format for the new season is that former exes have been paired up as teammates and will be forced to work together.

As a CT fan I will be pulling for CT and Diem, but I would be surprised to see Abram and Cara Maria take it all.

[NYDCYankee]

Thought it was a pretty solid debut.

Kinda shocked Johnny threw Wes in instead of a rookie team though.

[RhodyYanksFan]

My fantasy team is CT, Dunbar, Wes, Rachel & Robin.

Haven't seen the episode yet. I'll get to it tonight. This show is the best thing on MTV by 1000%

[NYDCYankee]

Who went first in the draft?

[Snatch Catch]

NYDC, you watch so much TV and I love it.

[Yankeeah]

Didn't watch it yet, will watch it a little later.

Last season was pretty good, CT laying out Tyler was amazing.

[NYDCYankee]

NYDC, you watch so much TV, and I love it.

Haha, I really do. It is a perk of working from home.

If I worked a normal job at an office, I would have to cut a ton out of my rotation.

Who went first in the draft?

Johnny went first, I picked CT 2nd. I forget the rest. We have 5 teams with 5 people each. The only person not picked was Mark.

I had no idea this show was still on. Is this CT's full time job?

Haha I was wondering the same thing. I used to watch the Challenges back in the day....they just got boring after awhile cuz it was the same stuff with the same people over and over again. These people need to move on....I'm thinking they will all show up as 85 year olds using walkers to get around to have a Challenge to see who can use the least amount of Depends or eat the most amount of applesauce.

Best reality show on TV. Period.

Diem is far and away the prettiest girl this season.

[NYDCYankee]

Ya think? I think the ex of the guy who was in gay porn is prettier than Diem. Diem is a sweetheart though.

That girl has a fish face but nice body. I didn't watch that season so I haven't seen too much of her.

So for some reason Mark went un-drafted in my league. I have no idea why people picked Nate and Prisilla above Mark (we drafted people, not teams). I don't really care though because I have Robin so if her & Mark do well it only benefits me now.

[Yankeeah]

Wow, that was messed up that Sarah had to go home too. I thought maybe Kenny would come out, or at worst, the guy who lost in the first episode. Fighting is one thing, but Vinny harrased a girl and I doubt anyone would want to be on his team again. He might be completely done with MTV.

That was pretty crazy and it sucks for Sarah who seems like a really cool down to earth chick.

There was actually a ton of crazy action, not the least of which was Wes getting bounced. Leroy is a powerhouse.

[RhodyYanksFan]

I hope that's the end of Chaz Bono, I mean Vinny. What a douche. I feel so bad for Sarah. She totally got screwed. Hell, last season when Leroy's partner got bounced, they gave him a new partner. Why didn't the same happen to Sarah?

I'm assuming they tried to find someone but couldn't.

[RhodyYanksFan]

We better not get jipped an entire episode due to losing 2 teams last night.

[RhodyYanksFan]

Need your guys opinion. We did a fantasy league this season. We drafted by player, not by team. Based on how Grantland.com did it, you get 100 points if you're kicked off the show. So should Sarah get 100 points even though she did nothing to deserve getting kicked off?

The same girl drafted both Sarah and Vinny (which leads me to think she may have looked at spoilers, but I can't prove it and don't want to open that can of worms), so between them winning the challenge and then getting kicked out she may get 250 points for the week (while losing 40% of her team).

[NYDCYankee]

I would say yes. Sarah got kicked off.

[Yankeeah]

I've never done a fantasy game for these shows, but shouldn't you not be able to pick partners?

Well, I wouldn't exactly say Sarah was kicked off, more disqualified. Vinny was kicked off.

We picked individuals because we have 5 people in the league. If we picked by team that would only net 2 teams per player with 3 teams left out. Now each player gets 5 people on their team and only one person was left undrafted. Works out great for me because I have Robin and nobody has Mark (oddly) so when they do good, only I benefit.

After thinking it over I gave Sarah the 100 points too. Least that could be done since now that person has lost 40% of her team in week 2 (she had both Sarah and Vinny). Now I just have to hope Cara Maria and Abram go home next week as she has the two of them also. Then she'd be left with only one person for the rest of the show.

[PettittesPrincess]

Can't believe I missed this. I can't get enough of these damn shows.

[NYDCYankee]

Well you have only missed two episodes you can catchup.

[PettittesPrincess]

Good I'm not that far behind. I'll catch the millions of reruns.
