MTV's The Challenge: Rivals

[Bright Eyes]

always, the douchebag I was referencing was Chadwick. I have no hate for Danny.

Every single roommate in the new LV season did something at some point to bug the crap out of me. Nany with her Adam drama, Adam for being Adam, Naomi for being a screeching bitch with Cooke, Leroy for thinking it's cool to have unprotected sex with random strangers (and for the bisexual comments), Dustin for being desperately homophobic and a liar, Mike for being condescending and a bullsh!tter, Heather for playing the wounded lamb card and for being a hypocrite, and Cooke for coming into the house and starting crap for no reason (though I loved that she owned up to not wanting to be friends with anyone -- the act itself was sucky, but owning up to it was awesome). I really couldn't side with one person over any other in the Dustin drama because I was able to see basically everyone's side in that. I think Dustin's homophobia is a desperate attempt to distance himself from the porn, and once he was able to accept that as part of his past, he wouldn't be so homophobic.

I don't think DC Josh was anywhere near as bad as LV2 Adam or Puck or any of them. He was less a douchebag and more a lame. Ty was that season's resident douchebag, no questions asked.

+1 on your LV2 assessment.

I just remember Josh being a complete !@#$%^&*] to all the roomies - he lied all the time - and never showed support for that one aspiring singer (can't remember her name) - yet he was livid when no one supported him. And he couldnt' even sing to being with - he was horrible!

Man, during this RR research, I'm reliving some serious good times with these older seasons. Surprisingly quite a few of them were on some early RR/RW Challenges. It's almost been 10 years since the early seasons of RR/RW though - so I barely even remember them. There are so many people you forget and barely remember!

So sad - I didn't realize Michelle (RR3 - Europe) was on a RR/RW -- one year before she died in that car accident.

Ohh ok --- he had his moments, but he was hot and matured during RR/RW Challenges. His douchebaggery doesn't hold a candle to some of the newer guys though.

Yeah, the only problem with Josh was that someone in his life didn't give him enough tough love.

[All My Shadows]

Chadwick was an !@#$%^&*] on Battle of the Seasons. I thought it was great that the rest of the RR team bounced him out within the first few weeks.

It's so weird, I watched Real World back when it was 30 minutes but don't remember it only being thirty minutes...Maybe I've drank too much since those days...But it would explain why the full hour seems to drag on to me these days.

Oh man the early challenges were so much better...I feel like the people now or at least when I stopped watching were playing to the cameras too much, though I do miss Coral.

Josh was a jerk. I thought he was so nasty and sleazy the way he casually cheated on his girlfriend

[All My Shadows]

RW was 30 minutes when it still aired on Tuesday nights. For a long time, Mondays were for the challenges, Tuesday was RW, and Wednesday was RR. All three were just a half-hour, but the seasons were longer, like 15-20 episodes.

And if I remember correctly, his own mother didn't care either. Some mother she is.

[OLTL_fan]

LOL neither did I. It also explains why the seasons nowadays go so much quicker. When it was only a half hour, it would last for over 20 weeks.

[Cheap21]

Its all the same. They used to be 22-24 episode seasons at 30 minutes and now 12 episodes at one hour. Personally I like the current format bc some of the older seasons seemed to drag on for months

[AllMyDaysatGH]

I miss Coral to! She hasn't been on a challenge since the last Gauntlet I think. I loved her, I wonder what she's doing nowadays.

[OLTL_fan]

LOVE Katelynn!!!! I loved the Brooklyn season. Jasmine & Jonna? Ugh. Jasmine was so annoying and pathetic chasing after that guy Pat who was soo ugly and such an ass to her. Jasmine was such a huge trainwreck. That whole Cancun season screamed trainwreck.

[Bright Eyes]

Random note: I was just watching a re-run of Kourtney and Khloé take Miami and Rachel from RR: Campus Crawl was on it, helping judge a tranny competition. LoL

[Cheap21]

Fitting bc I used to think she looked like one
