*****For the record, Eventually I will get back to entertainment news, but I'm learning how to balance three other blogs so please bear with me!
Decided to recap the newest season of MTV's
The Challenge--Battle of the Seasons! Held in Bodrum, Turkey, and, as always, hosted by BMX rider TJ Lavin, this season brings together teams of people from various Real World seasons battling the other seasons to see who's number one! Of course, it's awkward, because not everybody got along! The seven RW seasons represented are
Austin (Wes, Lacey, Danny and Melinda),
Back to New Orleans (Preston, Knight, Jemmye, and McKenzie),
Cancun (Derek, Jasmine, CJ, and Jonna),
San Diego (Frank, Ashley, Zach, and Sam),
Las Vegas (made of the original and the second season-Alton, Trishelle, Nany, and Dustin),
Brooklyn (Chet, JD, Devyn, and Sarah) and the newest kids on the block,
St. Thomas (Trey, Marie, Robb, and Laura).
Of course, the money should be enough to override all (or at least some) of the drama!
$250,000 goes to the winning team, the biggest prize in Challenge history! $50,000 goes to second (think it should have been at least $75 K, but whatever), and $40,000 goes to third. TJ also introduces everybody to the Arena is where the elimination rounds will be. The losing team is sent into the Arena, and the winning team will send another team to battle against them. There's a twist, however. Each team has to decide which
two players will go in. If they lose, your team is down to two players (which can be a pro, but mostly a con depending on the challenge). And, of course, if you go in again, and lose, your team is automatically finished. My question is, will the other two members who got disqualified still get money in the end if their other teammates win? Because I don't like that haha!
