No Project Runway last night so here goes another recap/op-ed piece on the second episode of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Gauntlet III. MTV once again gave us a full hour of hookups, blowups, and crazy as it aired back to back episodes. First up we got a great moment in the house as Nehimiah (RW: Austin) called out old ass Beth (RW: 1932 Los Angeles) on the innuendo she’s been spreading since their last shared challenge that they hooked up. Not only did my man set the record straight but he did it in front of the cameras and many of his fellow cast mates who all had a good laugh at Beth’s expense which is really the only reason to keep Beth on these shows.
The first challenge of the night was for the ladies. Once again the Veterans dominated the task and put the Rookies down like the naïve puppy dogs they are. I love how the rooks are so confident they can outwit the vets when it comes to challenge strategy. The definition of veteran is that they are experienced! Anyway once the event was over the vets did us all a favor and chose to protect crazy ass Brooke (RW: Denver), who lacked the proper amount of screen time this week I must add. Non-descript Jillian (RR Extreme) was chosen by the vets to go to the Gauntlet and I couldn’t care less. Frank (RW: Las Vegas) on the other hand cared a great deal as Jillian has quickly become his challenge bed buddy and his groin didn’t want to see her go. In the end he got his wish as Angel (RR Viewer’s Revenge) ended up facing Jillian and after a valiant effort was sent packing, leaving Frank and Jillian to canoodle the night away. Tough break for Angel as she was genuinely convinced she could fly under the radar. Again don’t people watch these shows before they come on!?! Even on a team of rookies the newbies are going to be the first ones gone.
The second episode brought us the second male Gauntlet and was owned by Tyler (RW: Key West) as he completed the episode trifecta: best line, best crazy, and best blowup.
Best Line of the Night: Tyler- “Frank and Jillian have just been named America’s most boring couple.”
Best Crazy of the Night: Tyler not only comes on to a sober uninterested Ryan (Challenge: Fresh Meat), but does so in an embarrassingly desperate way that’s almost unbearable to watch.
Best Blowup of the Night: After the Rookies lose yet another task Tyler’s Key West cast mate Johnny Bananas encourages his fellow Veterans to send Tyler to the Gauntlet. Not only does Tyler blow up at John but then he tries to plead his case to the vets saying that he needs the money for grad school. His rook teammate and fellow Key West housemate Janelle then asks Tyler why he’s begging the opposing team for mercy and this leads to a good old fashion bitch off. You know how these go: “You’re a bitch!” “I know I’m a bitch but why are you being such a bitch?” “Bitch” “Bitch” and so on.
It’s a good thing Tyler stole the spotlight in the episode because it was his last. In the Gauntlet he faced off against the aforementioned snooze fest that is Frank and despite grunting and begging got sent home. Next week looks like some more Brooke “I’m now a lesbian” moments and of course any day now we’ll get the eventual Veteran meltdown. Tick, tick, tick…
