One Bad Apple Can Spoil A Bushel

I have been so busy doing my stupid real world job that I’m way behind on my TV viewing, and I have two DVRs loaded up with goodies waiting to be watched. And yet, I will unquestionably make time in the week to watch my favorite returning show. Because hot diggity, MTV’s Real Road/Road Rules Challenge returns tonight! This go-round, they’ve dubbed it: “The Challenge: Cutthroat.” Based in Prague, the series will feature “30 fan favorites” in the latest go-round of sex, competition, and inane fighting. As the press release explains, “for the first time ever” there are “three teams chosen by the players themselves” who will be competing for “the largest jackpot in ‘Challenge’ history.”

Teams will battle each other in nine extreme challenges, leading up to a massive and grueling finale. After each challenge, one man and one woman from each losing team will go head to head in the dreaded Gulag, a torturous one-on-one battle arena.

The website also includes “dailies,” where uncensored video that didn’t make the final episode can be watched. They’ve already got a bunch up, like this idiotic conversation:

Last week, I told a co-worker that I was psyched for tonight’s premiere, and she looked at me like I was utterly insane. Which is fine. I accept her scorn and fully recognize that this show is filth and almost every participant is somewhere on the scale between window-licker and borderline psychotic. I may not be proud about how much I enjoy this show, but I fucking love it, I own my love of it, and I can’t wait until tonight. My smart brain cells better batten down the hatches, cause there’s a storm of stupidity about to come flooding in!

Wait ...Gulag.... while in Eastern Europe. It seems rather.... insensitive. I expect much more from my MTV washed up reality star jumble.

Did CT find a day job? Because the lack of his presence on a challenge is seriously disturbing to me.

I will only watch this if the title symbol means that the entire cast will be exposed to various biohazardous substances and we get to watch them all die in horrible but unique ways.

Good to hear from you, Seth. I've missed you.

I thought CT was thrown off 'cause he hit someone?

When has CT *not* hit someone?

Who the hell is CT? What are you people doing here? Where are my pants?

But if a cast member hits someone in a previous season, does that mean that they're off the show for life? Because that seems silly. If anything, they should be invited back to compete on every challenge, because every one of these douchebags needs a good punch in the face.

Oh, and after watching that Dailies clip: who cares about these new people? They should make the next Challenge veterans-only. I miss the days of Veronica/Katie bitchfights.

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!

And no, being kicked off once doesn't mean you're gone for good. I think CT beat up like 20 other people previously, and they keep bringing him back.

Eeee I can't wait. Are they gonna have Coral? And Evelyn? and that ASSHOLE Wes? I hope there's no Wes. I hate that ugly bastard.

It's not an official RR/RW challenge until someone gets hit in the face and some else gets called a Whore.

HOW DID I NOW KNOW ABOUT THIS UNTIL JUST NOW?!?!?! I'm fucking FACEBOOK FRIENDS with the Challenges! AAAh!

I am appalled by what I saw on the Challage: Cutthroat show.
I was changing channels and stopped for a few minutes to see what the challange was all about.
What I want to know is who was the IDIOT who thought of sending people into a gas chamber to retrieve numbers? It doesn't matter that is was for 30 seconds. It should not been at all. It wasn't funny or pleasurable to watch it was sickening. Does the IDIOT who thought this up not realize that 11 million people died in the gas chambers. It wasn't just the Jews who died in them.(Do your homework.) The people who didn't believe in what Hitler was doing also parshed in the gas chambers. I wouldn't be surprised if there were people on your staff that lost relatives in the gas chamber. Just because they didn't know them doesn't mean that they didn't exist.

fran your an idiot its not the same gas they used to kill jews or anyone else, they use this gas for training purposes so incase your caught In an actual gas you know how to protect yourself, the military uses it all the time.

Josh, I think you're the idiot if you think Fran doesn't realize its a different gas. Obviously its not the same gas used to kill people (Jews and others). But thats not the point, the point is that they used the gas chambers for entertainment purposes. Its completely insensitive in my opinion.

Posted by: Liz at October 21, 2010 1:50 AM

josh... you've got to be kidding me. OBVIOUSLY it's not the same gas. The point is that they are having them do a challenge in a GAS CHAMBER. in PRAGUE. This is honestly like having a challenge in the middle of Alabama, calling the battle part the plantation and having cotton picking challenges.
