Behind the Screen: Gauntlet III: Mexico - Premiere

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

I've seen that already. I was just hoping for screencaps but I guess not...

But since I started reading her blogs and hearing her side of things, I like her a lot. She knows what makes good tv and there's a reason she is from RW season 2 and still gets asked back to pretty much every challenge. She knows the role she plays and she plays it well. Even looking back on the stuff that made me dislike her before, I just laugh because I feel like I 'get it' now.
I have always had a love/hate relationship with Beth...I realize that she instigates all the (good) major conflicts that we get to see on TV that keep us coming back for more. I like her because she doesn't let any of these little kids (compared to her) push her around. The whole Neamiah (ap?) thing was kinda creepy though, LOL.

oh ok. damn that sucks for her. I wish MTV2 would play the earlier challenges just once though. They reshowed the Duel back in December, if anyone noticed that.

Actually, I saw that it was on last week one night late. As for screencaps of BOTS 1.....hmm.....I think the tank is empty on that one.

About the CT facebook status.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about Coral, because she's the one that made the comment that he can't read. And I hate to say it but she does have a big forehead. ;)

Oh....I thought you were asking who rock was talking about as you quoted him. CT is talking about Coral as she said he could not read....

Okay so I used to make fun of this one TV personality from WWF...She had such a big forehead that I used to say you could use it as an overhead projection screen...kinda gives a whole new meaning to "overhead projection" doesn't it, LOL. But now I can't really talk because I have come to realize that I don't have the smallest forehead either, hahaha.

There never was a thing between Beth and Nehemiah. It was part of their strategy to mess with the other team. That was Beth having fun of all the hookups on the challenges. Watch for an "update" on "Tenderoni" in an upcoming episode. You saw the setup for it in the first episode.

Coral is actually not a very big person. The TV camera not only ads 15lbs; it apparently also creates the illusion that one is shorter or taller, depending on the camera angle. I'd say she is about 5' 6." If you're that height and thin, how big can your forehead really be? CT doesn't have room to talk about much in my opinion. He reminds me of a sloth.

i totally believe it 100%. everything you said. Everyone was ranking on Kina at one point but i knew it was just all taken out of context to fit the form of a show/create drama. Same for Beth. People (viewers) really lose sight that this is a TV show and NOT how these people are in real life. at least all the time
I don't care to know what those people are like in real life. On the show we are mostly seeing their competition personality and in some cases we see their drunk and acting really stupid personality. I think people have lost sight of the fact that most of these people are going to be nice when they meet the fans and aren't going to be nice when they are competing for money.

I don't know any of them as a fan. I form my opinions as a result of working with and around many of them. In my environment they tend to speak very freely about each other. You probably would be surprised at how badly some react to fan interaction. There have been lots of website reports about fan encounters that left the fans less than entheusiastic about people who they used to think were cool. Kenny, in particular, is apparently very picky about who he will have his picture taken with. The "Ugly Betty's" need not apply.

Wait, this song isn't about Warren Beatty, it's about Kenny?

gee, i thought it was about james taylor.

this comes as no surprise.

Kenny's a dbag. Over him. Doesn't he have a clothing line or something? I REALLY hope it doesn't do well. Anyway, Beth posted a new mysace blog and said that ALL the episodes of G3 are going to be an hour! Must be a LOT of dramz going down!

If you consider silk screened tee-shirts like the kids learn to do over at the vocational school down the street from me "a clothing line" - then yes!

She didn't actually say that. She wrote
The fact that there are going to be hour-long episodes says there must be a lot of really good drama on tape.
There are actually going to me both hour long episodes and half-hour episodes. Her point was that there is sufficient drama around some of the missions and gauntlets and they need an hour to tell the story. Hope that offers some clarity. Perhaps she will revise the sentence to add "some one-hour shows." That might be clearer.

Thanks for the clarification V1man. Even a few hour long episodes bode well for the series and I look forward to the extended content provided this season.

as do I...I am excited for this season, I like ti when the vets get together for a lil healthy competition, it usually makes for pretty good TV...although they could do without all these fresh meat kids because they are boring.
RockSteadyVybes#87
I'm glad the season has begun! ooooh a Beth blog. gotta check that.
Katiedid#88
Has anyone checked out Iamonmtv.com much, where the cast members are supposed to be blogging and interacting?? I have gone a few times, but the layout of the site kind of confuses me.

I have been and...er.....it is lame. I think it will have a short self life. The cast/bloggers are really not into it so why should we be into it?
suhccab#90
i went there too and it doesn't seem up to speed yet. maybe it will get better.
Katiedid#91
Well the cast might get more into it. Diem posted a video blog of when she followed Johanna to a Maxim shoot. Apparantly Johanna is trying for Miss USA Peru or something, and L4TC is her platform. So I think at least some of them might get more into it and try to interact with more fans. Coral said she is going to try to post a video blog tomorrow.
