The Real World / Road Rules Challenge:
Battle of the Sexes: Episode 16 Recap
Reuniting Is Not Always A Good Thing
February 1, 2005
After watching the reunion show last night is it any wonder why the girls lost? There was so much fighting last night the men could barely get in a word. Did Dan ever get to speak more than once? Where was Shane, Ruthie, Robin, or Randy? They lasted longer than Veronica and Mike. Why do they keep doing this to us?
As a faithful viewer I am so sick of the producers trying to shove Veronica and Mike down our throats. They didn't need to be there. I didn't need to hear about how Veronica and Brad were hooking up. I would much rather have had Ruthie there so her and Sophia could have told off Coral. Now that would have been some reality television.
Speaking of Coral, can we say sore loser? She started off saying she thought Battle of the Sexes was stupid because she couldn't outrun Eric. She then proceeded to insult everyone, cuss like a sailor and tell people to shut up. Is it any wonder that she has few friends?
Much was made about the younger girls trying to get rid of the older ladies. I would have too. I am so sick of Coral and Veronica being on these challenges. Thank goodness has decided to take a break and not do the next challenge. Too bad Veronica could not have followed her advice. I swear Veronica is trying to win the prize for the Road Ruler or Real Worlder who has slept with most castmates. I know Trishelle is giving her a fight but I think Veronica can rest assured her name will go down in the books for that one.
I thought Brad was a little over the top last night. He was mad at the men for getting rid of him. He had the opportunity to try to step in and put his foot down but he didn't and that is no one faults but his on. He had to realize that going into this the others had some sort of an alliance. It is the one thing that is making these less interesting. It is always the same people at the end.
As I told you last week, the producers would probably get some lame host to bore us out of our minds and they did not disappoints. We were once again tortured by Lala who acts like she is so happy to be there and never asks the good questions. Please spare us next time please!
Overall I was disappointed with the reunion but then again I usually am. I was disappointed to learn that the rumor that Tonya would be back for the next challenge is indeed true. What was up with her last night? She was jumping up and down and acting erratic. Here is hoping she will calm down before the next time.
So the Battle of the Sexes is over and the next challenge is currently filming. It is supposed to be a Naughty vs. Nice version of the Inferno. Hopefully minus that BMX guy caused he was worse than Johnny and I never thought that could have been possible. So who will be naughty and who will be nice. I know I cast my vote, did you? Here's hoping to see many new faces next time. Until then have fun and remember to write to MTV and tell them to save Road Rules!
