RW/RR Challenge: The Gauntlet III, Finale

Aired 3/19/08 Spoilers if you haven't already seen it!

Real World Road Rules Challenge

This concludes the crappiest challenge MTV has aired. The Veteran team dominated the challenge this season. They won 10 of the 15 challenges prior to final "Army Strong" fiasco. Most of the 5 losses were due to the guys throwing the challenge in order to "trim the fat" or get rid of some female contenders. If only they had trimmed Eric like Johnny Bananas suggested early in the game. He told them Big Easy would be dead weight and hurt them in end, and he was right.

The Army Strong challenge was a foot race along the beach in Mexico. It started with a 1/2 miles swim to shore. Once they reached the shore the teams became linked with chains and can only disconnect when instructed. There were 4 checkpoints, each one based on a previous game.

Big E could barely make the swim without the assistance of CT. How he expected to make the rest of the race is beyond me. After the 2nd checkpoint Big Easy fell and Ev, CT and others became upset with him for causing them to lose 300,000 or 30,000 per person. What is more imporant, your friends life or money? Clearly for most of these douchebags it's the money. Brad seemed to be the only one who cared that there was something wrong. The medics take Eric away, Evan rallies the vets to finish for Big Easy, even if the rooks are sipping wine and celebrating.

To the vets surprise the rooks have not yet finished the "I Dig You" checkpoint. The vets renewed with excitement manage to unearth the chest containing their flag and raise it first. However, TJ doesn't sound the horn, the rules stated that the beginning that all members of the team must complete the race to win. Because Eric didn't the vets were disqualified.

The rooks celebrate their "victory" and the vets weep sadly. It was lame finale, MTV needs to find less douche-y people to play. Bring back some old school cast members.
