    I Believe The Real World Road Rules Challenges should continue a very long time, because no matter how many seasons past, it never gets boring....

    This show is about people from the Real World and Road Rules compete each other. First of all they get to the place where they meet the host and then the host gives them instructions of how everything is going to do in each season. Each season is different by the rules and how some people will be eliminated. The Real World/Road Rules people have to do good on challenges to prevent them from leaving the place that they are in. The big prize is a whole lot of money and if one person is sent home they don't win any money so it's important for them to stay in the game. Overall, this is a really great reality show because there is action, drama, and a few other stuff that may interest you so if you like game shows and reality shows then this might be a good show for you.moreless

    The famous challenge show started as a rivalry between the 2 MTV shows Real World and Road Rules now its changed. The shows combined to either challenge member against each other, battle of the sexes or even challenge vets against rookies and one year they even brought in people who had nothing to do with either show the fresh meat. (Personally that was the dumbest thing to do some of the fresh meat people are terrible.) Every year there is either new rules to the challenges that make it more interesting and elmiminations and new gauntlet challenges which are cool to see. The drama is all there and every year the show is cast with more people who cause drama. Cant wait for the next season full of drama filled people and cant wait to see who wins the next challenge either.moreless

    It combines athletic ability and reality television, this is just what the drama docter ordered. The Real World / Road Rules Challenge its better than the real world or road rules. i enjoy watching this show to see which contestants come back from the Real World and Road Rules. I enjoy seeing the drama behind people who couldn't stand each other on their season or other seasons when they are forced to live under the same roof again. So in general I really like the challenges. I like watching people come up with the best strategy to help themselves or their team win.moreless

  • To say I'm excited for this show is an understatement. This could be my favorite show on television. It combines athletic ability and reality television, my two favorite things to watch on T.V.moreless

    1- This could be my favorite show on television. It combines athletic ability and reality television, my two favorite things to watch on T.V. This could turn into a weekly review thing if the comment responses are as high as Nip/Tuck. 2- Peurto Vallerta is the setting for the Gauntlet 3. I've been there, it's just a little bit of fun. And let's hope there's lots of tequila going around. 3- Beth is the first person to speak. Stupid. I mean sure she causes drama and everything, but I don't really care to hear any of her thoughts. 4- Brad's introduction to the show basically translated to "I'm going to start laying pipe like it's my **** job."

    5- He hasn't spoke yet, but one of my favorite real world character's ever is finally a part of a challenge cast. Frank is f-ing hilarious, I expect big things.

    6- CT and Diem are still together. I guess you could call that a huge surprise. But, Diem you really expect me to believe that you guys are dating and you would still vote to send him home. Get serious.

    7- Janelle just said, "we have a really fresh team." What the **** does that mean, seriously did you graduate high school?

    8- Introductions finally. Good stuff. Alex (that guy from the Denver cast) is on the show. Does he have one ounce of athletic talent? The veterans are **** loaded, outside of Tyrie and Frank, the rookies have nothing. 9- 32 people are on this show. That's got to be some kind of record. But, isn't the prize pool smaller this year than the past. I mean no one even looked all that excited about the money total. They all kind of looked like they weren't that impressed, they've played for that much before.

    10- Tug of War for sleeping arrangements. Brilliant idea. I hope the rookies win, just so the veterans start **** with them as soon as they get back to the house. Tyree needs to sit his huge black ass on the back of the tug of war rope for the rookies to have any sort of chance.

    11- Kenny is the epitome of a meathead, and yet I love everything about his character. He speaks so slow and yet never stops entertaining.

    12- Frank, "prisoners stay in larger rooms than we're staying in." Good to have you back on a reality show.

    13- Brooke and Ev are already making out. That's random. And now two gay guys making out, **** that. Get one of them kicked off in this episode, no one wants to watch that ****

    14- That's a lot of hookups for night one. Brad's gonna **** Tori, that's hands down my favorite one. Johnny Bananas and Casey's fake **** continue their fling from last season. Paula grosses me out, I would never touch her.

    15- Jilian, who are you? I have no idea.

    16- Keyshia Cole is on the first commercial I'm watching. What a horrible commercial and she looks like trash, no wonder I don't watch commercials. Seriously, she must have s.t.d.'s.

    17- CT weighs 250? Jesus, he's a machine. How tall is he? He clearly hasn't stopped eating his egg whites since the last challenge.

    18- **** yeah, it's a tie. Mano et Mano. Derek v. CT. CT is going to run over this kid from Road Rules.

    19- I'm right, CT cruises. But, Danny shut the **** up, you're the biggest straight tool on this show.

    20- Nehemiah is one scruffy black man. 21- The rookies are letting the guy who is voted in pick his opponent. That's so unfair to the team. He basically gets to pick the guy who he thinks he has the best chance against, that's not fair. But, he's picking Alex, who has I said earlier has no athletic talent, so it's not a big deal yet.

    22- And I quote Alex, "I'm praying it's something where I don't have to use my weight or strength to win." Haha, good luck winning any challenge ever. Why don't you go try out for Deal or No Deal.

    23- Alex just basically quit. That was lame. Good luck being invited back on another challenge. At least put some effort forth.

    24- Girls are worried guys will throw challenges to eliminate them. Thanks for stating the obvious.

    25- CT is scum and I love every moment of it. Makes great T.V.

    26- Diem should have known better than to approach his drunk ass like that.

    27- TiVo cut off the previews. Ah well, I'm sure they're great and I've already written plenty. So, glad there is finally another challenge show back on T.V.moreless
