the Guantlet

I don't know about you, but I absolutely love competition. I think I probably find competition in most of the things that I do, which can be a bad thing sometimes. And honestly, with all of the reality TV shows, I get sick of dumb ones on television. But I am in love with the Guantlet III on MTV. It is pretty much everything that I could ask for in a competition. It takes an extreme amount of athletic skill, intelligence, and some kiniving and back stabbing. The competition has twists and turns and surprises. It is exciting to watch.

The Vets are absolutely crushing the Rookies not only because they are better physically, but they are just plain better at the game. Before each challenge, they come up with a strategy to beat the Rookies. They decided what the best course of action is and they usually come up with an alternate, back up plan in case things are not going well. Perfect example, the challenge of rolling the car on the logs, which ended up with the Rookies leading and the Vets changing their action to just pushing the car through the sand. I also love the fact that the guys on the Vets team, know there are certain girls that they just simply need to get off their team. And they really don't try to hide this strategy. They throw challenge's simply to get rid of some of the girls. They know that they will be better off as a team without certain people, i.e. Coral.

CT is pretty much my favorite competitor in the game. He's probably not a good guy at all, and I would probably actually not like him if I met him, but he is one of, if not the best competitors in the game. And he knows how to get under people's skin and play the game. It makes it very interesting with him there.

All in all I love watching people compete.
