I'm really in the mood for one of these shows.

I'm over Real World.

**blonde bombshell** · 08-25-2009, 09:44 PM

I'm excited that we have the airdate!

Me too, Meg. I'm gave up on this season.

Aaron2005 · 08-25-2009, 11:09 PM

I'd like to move on to the challenge as well

With the site up, we should be seeing a previews & commericals for the challenge real soon. The first time they air are usually during Real World on Wednesday nights and it wouldn't surprise me if they aired during tomorrow night's episode, so you may want to tune in just for that. If not tomorrow night, then maybe during next week's episode

I'm way more excited about a challenge than a season of the RW!

That'll always be the case with me.

It looks great. It looks like there will be, as what someone in the trailer called it, a "love pentagon" between Johanna, Wes, KellyAnne, Cohutta & Kenny. The challenges & Ruin eliminations look intense as well

The rules, although confusing, are brand new and interesting

Quote:

Twenty-eight competitors have been tapped to compete in an exciting new Real World/Road Rules Challenge. We're pitting grizzled and greedy former winners, henceforth known as "Champions," to do battle against a team of equally greedy newcomers and past Challenge losers we've dubbed "Challengers." They will meet in exotic Thailand to see who can face the rigors of The Ruins.

Although players will compete at teams, they will also bank winnings into individual bank accounts as they compete in nine intense challenges and a thrilling finale. There is $$300,000 up for grabs and, as always, the players will do whatever it takes to get their cut of the Challenge prize.

Not everyone will last until the end to earn a share of the wealth. After each weekly challenge, one man and one woman from each team will compete in "The Ruins" -- a head-to-head battle between two competitors, where one man and one woman will be eliminated. The winner of "The Ruins" not only stays in the game, but pockets the loser's bank account, making them richer -- as well as a bigger target in the eyes of the other players. The loser? Well, the loser goes home flat broke.

Avoiding "The Ruins" depends on how well teams do in the challenges. Before each challenge, each team will nominate six people -- three men and three women from their ranks -- to be eligible for "The Ruins." After every challenge, the winning team will split $$20,000 evenly. Then, the winning team's lucky six nominees will be "the match-makers" who will select which man and woman from each team will be sentenced to "The Ruins." The selected men will have their "Ruins" competition and so will the women. The losers will be sent packing.

As with any Challenge, the competitor who plays their cards right and forms the best alliances will find they have the power. Those who do not may just find themselves in "The Ruins." However, in Thailand, going into the elimination round is a risk that could pay off, as the winner ends up acquiring their opponent's bank account.

Only the players that make it to the end will walk away with the cash they've banked and compete in the finale. Plus, the winners of the finale will earn an additional grand prize!

Ultimately, friendships will be put to the test, hearts will be broken and battles will rage -- both on and off the playing field -- as players do whatever it takes to be crowned the winners of The Ruins!

squeeeee!

I just saw the promo and I am SO freaking stoked.

I love Wes. I'd marry him in a second.

I still have a little thing for him and Johanna too, so I'm pretty excited to see all that go down.

eternalnoob · 08-26-2009, 08:31 PM

I just saw it too! Soooo stoked! I'm not even stoked for the challenge but the DRAMA. I hate half the ppl in the challenge anyway but god, the drama looks so good. And YES, Veronica's getting slapped, Wes is threatening that douche Johnny and Darell looks like he's kicking someones ass. Katie's telling Sarah to GTFO was priceless.

**blonde bombshell** · 08-26-2009, 11:40 PM

this one looks so good!

I like the rules actually, there's a little bit of a different spin to them!

**JamieScott** · 08-27-2009, 06:47 AM

I was the preview after the RW last night!

It looks awesome!!!

Wes!!

ETA: I just read the rules. Fantastic! I love the bank accounts thing! That'll make people want to go in The Ruins. The Challengers team is going to have a lot of awesome people on it though, it'll be interesting to see who they send into The Ruins because they're definitely going to want to "trim the fat" that they may have so they can split that $20,000 per challenge among less people.

To clarify, the 6 nominees of the winning team choose from the 6 nominees of the opposing team, and then they choose who they'll face from their own team as well, right?

**blonde bombshell** · 08-27-2009, 11:08 AM

that was the only thing I wasn't really sure on

eternalnoob · 08-27-2009, 12:42 PM

Wait, what are the rules?

Did anyone else laugh hard when Brad and Adam were shown on the Challengers team since they looked like such losers since everyone on the Challengers team is pretty new. Everyone on the Champions team has been for more than 2 or 3 challenges and there go the vets, Adam and Brad showcasing how loserish they are, lol. I like them but it was hilarious to see.
