RW/RR Challenge: Inferno III




the first episode of the season was certainly an exciting one. once again pitting the "good guys" versus the "bad asses", the sparks were destined to fly.

representing the good guys:
alton - las vegas RW: a one man powerhouse and a hot one at that
cara - south pacific RR: probably best known for posing in playboy, otherwise blah
tim - 2nd RR: really old, but always nice
susie - down under RR: am i the only one who thinks she looks exactly the same as she did on RR?
ace - paris RW: poor ace, he never gets very far in these challenges
rachel - austin RW: the super-emotional nurse who went to Iraq, sweet girl but melodramatic
paula - key west RW: her season revolved around domestic abuse and an eating disorder, she's the girl to root for
john - key west RW: so blah
colie - denver RW: big flirt, kinda slutty on her season, semi-blah
davis - denver RW: gets punched by CT in the 1st ep

bad asses:
aneesa - chicago RW: fiery, almost always gets in an argument with someone
tonya - chicago RW: the promiscuous one of the group, can you believe she's married now?
abram - south pacific RR: who keeps inviting this guy back? he almost always winds up decking someone
ct - paris RW: gets kicked off in the 1st ep, the intimidating meathead type
derrick - i love derrick! he seems like such a good guy/competitor but he never makes it all the way
danny - austin RW: best known for whining throughout his season after a drunken brawl and hooking up with the hot melinda
evelyn - fresh meat: who?!?!?!?!?!?!
kenny - fresh meat: pretty boy who never makes it far
janelle - key west RW: blah, the whole cast of this season aside from tyler, svet, and paula were blah
jenn - denver RW: former cheerleader, slightly promiscuous in her season
tyrie - denver RW: exhibits quite a temper in his season, not unlike nehemiah

at first glance, it looks like the bad asses are stacked to win. ct and abram are 2 big competitors for the bad asses versus the 1 big competitor (alton) for the good guys. things evened out briefly when ct decided to punch davis in the eye and got sent home soon after. but with the departure of ct came the arrival of derrick, and the teams were once again unbalanced in favor of the bad asses.

cutting to the chase of the 1st few episodes: davis and abram are chosen to go in the inferno, but alton and tyrie wind up going in the face-off with alton coming out as the champion. susie and jenn are then chosen for the inferno, but susie wins the life shield allowing her to choose rachel to compete in her stead. rachel starts out strong but winds up losing to jenn in a jousting-type event. predictably, rachel has an aneurysm and is so overcome with emotion that she can't say goodbye to her teammates. she walks herself out sobbing all the while. i feel bad for the girl, but it's just a game.


fyi: eventually you find out who the hell this evelyn chick is. she was danny's partner in fresh meat and was kicked off so quickly that no one i know had the slightest idea who she was. apparently, she's very athletic and naively confrontational (about really stupid things).

america's next top model



a loyal viewer since season 1, i can't turn away from this show. the cattiness and drama are way too addicting! cycle 8 has been interesting. i expected several girls to make it much farther than they did and several to get cut much earlier.



my first glance predictions:


who i thought would be first to go - whitney, renee, diana, & natasha



middle tier - sarah, jael, kathleen, samantha, & dionne



final four - jaslene, brittany, felicia, & cassandra


this week's cut was jael. she had a good personality, but she made it farther than i thought she would, so props to her. her pictures were hit and miss. she looked better blonde than brunette - it seemed to fit her better.


so who's left now? jaslene, natasha, dionne, brittany, and renee are the five left. i have to admit that i disliked renee immensely in the beginning for starting so much shit on the show, but now she's growing on me. my favorite is still jaslene. her photos are awesome, especially her earlier ones.
