View Full Version : Anyone Watch RW vs RR Gauntlet II? Question on last challenge
SPOILER WARNING!
This post will obviously contain SPOILERS for the show that aired Monday night.
Question on the tire challenge. The red team (vets) won as soon as the blue team's first competitor fell, right?
If you don't watch the show here's the layout for the challenge.
There are a series of tires hung above water. Each team one by one crawls through the suspended tires scoring one point per tire they go through. They also must release one tire at some point on their way. If they fall they score 0 points and the next team member must release two tires. Therefore each team member has the potential to score 1 point less than the potential of the person who went before them.
The red team had the 3rd player fall and all the rest made it. The blue team (went 2nd) had the first and last player fall. I'm pretty sure that as soon as that first player fell that was it and they couldn't possibly catch the red teams score. However they went ahead and had the rest of the blue team continue on and no one on either team commented that they thought it was already over (that I caught - but if they did it could have also been edited out.) So is my math off, did I miss something about the challenge's rules, or was it just weird that they didn't call it after that first blue girl fell?
Think about this if there were just 2 competitors per team and 20 tires. First guy could score 19 (tire is released before being crawled through) and the 2nd could score 18.
Team 1 - 1st guy makes it; 2nd guy falls = 19 points
Team 2 - 1st guy falls; 2nd guy makes it (must release 2 tires) = 18 points.

People watch mtv? What a travesty.
I've given up on RR and RW, but for some reason the challenges are addictive for me. Also enjoy Made and True Life.

"My Super Sweet Sixteen" is by far the best show on MTV these days. All those Real World shows are good for about the first 3 episodes, and then they just suck. Same with Road Rules. All the fucking Gauntlet people need to get real jobs like the rest of us.

Took me a while to figure out what you were trying to say (not your fault, just had to visualize everything) and I think you're right. I haven't seen this episode though, but your thinking seems right that if any of the blue team players before the third fell, they would have no chance to win since only the one red player fell.

naw, because the red team had someone fall too, but since the blue team had 2 people fall it sealed it for the red team

Yea, this is what I can never understand... some of the people are constantly on these shows, do they just tell their employer "Well, I need to leave for three weeks to do a stupid reality show and make myself look like an asshole, bye".

People still watch MTV?

Naw, shieryda hit it on the nose I believe. They don't have much in the way of real jobs.
Julie actually does some stuff on G4, but I guess she is infrequent enough that they let her do those challenges whenever.

I think Alton fell so and someone else did.
BTW, Alton is a fucking man beast, ripped as hell.

I'm fairly certain he would win the Olympic Gold in cargo net climbing if there were such an event.

I figure math doesn't matter to MTV... it exists outside the time-space continuum.

They do countless tours of college campuses and stuff talking about the show or issues like drinking (which they all do a ton of) and apparently get paid enough for that. Within the last year we have had Ruthie (who spoke about alcoholism) and Brad and Cameron just recently (not sure what they talked about) come to my school. If I remember right our school paper said that Brad and Cameron had done 80 talks since the end of their show, so I guess this would constitute a job for them but I have no idea how it can pay that well or if they have time to be home and have a life outside of this.
P.S. I didn't go to either of these talks since I don't really care what they have to say but they're pretty popular with girls AND guys here.
