And the winning team of the Gauntlet III is......

i watched that show from the beginning & every time i was like "why is that fat er still on".....he was completely useless in the final challenge, he barely even made it out of the water.....i bet he felt like a jackass after he gave the speech about being able to do it the night before.

It's hard to say if Eric will be back on the challenge.


Oh and get this: I saw a sneak peak of the reunion show and I found out something VERY interesting. Apparently LATER THAT DAY, Eric was at the wrap pary (only the final competitors are invited) and was drinking according to Ev.

I was the first person eliminated from Fresh Meat and I learned a hell of a lot from that experience. I won the Inferno and learned nothing from it, that challenge was a cakewalk compared to this one. The Veterans won the Gauntlet 3. All the same, I learned from it. What you viewers got was a very tiny fraction of what actually happened on that day, but I’m not allowed to go into that.

Eric collapsed 20 feet from the sliders puzzle, he was going to have an indefinite breather as soon as we got there, and from that checkpoint it was less than a half mile to the finish line. We should have carried him there. We could have laid him down on the sand while we did the puzzle and proceeded accordingly. We were in sight of the f*cking finish line. He would have been fine, I’m a collegiate athlete and I have worked myself to the point of blacking out before, and I’m telling you he would’ve survived the last 25 minutes. It took us two hours to dig up that chest, he would’ve been able to spend that entire time drinking Gatorade and catching his breath. And guys, we were walking and giving Eric breathers the entire way. There was nothing more we could’ve done for him.

That said I hope to never do a team challenge again, unfortunately we never know the format until we show up at the challenge. I hate the nonsense that goes with being chained at the hip (literally, in the case of the final) to some of these people. I’m a competitive person and I come on these things to win, and what these challenges have taught me is that I can only rely on myself.

I have two regrets from the Gauntlet:

The first is going along with getting rid of Katie. What I’ve realized is that she’s the most genuine, kind-hearted person on these things. That was a mistake and one for which I am truly sorry. Katie, you’ve probably heard enough of this from me, but I am sorry girl.

The second is not throwing men’s Gauntlet days. I stepped up and put myself into the Gauntlet to make our team stronger, and our men did not make the same sacrifice to rid us of Eric. I should have demanded this and made it happen, but I, like everyone else, wanted to believe that that was only a minor problem.

My naivety on this challenge was abundantly clear, both in my relationship with Brooke and the ease with which I allowed myself to be manipulated. That quality is gone for good now.

Congratulations to Beth on her engagement!! Hopefully this lays the Tenderoni nonsense to rest once and for all.

The Rookie team were so... under-whelmed when they won. I expected Frank and Jillian to practically hump each other in the sand or Tori do a back flip.


They weren't really... excited

Some guy... there's a picture of him on her iamonmtv.com profile

I think it is because they won by a technicality. The vets had to deal with all the Eric crap and they still won. Although I am sure they were grinning ear to ear when they were cashing their checks. ing fat Eric.

I still give them ZERO credit for winning. Because they didn't win. The Vetrans lost. That's how it went down.

If Johnny was there, the Veterans would have won for sure, no question.

CT is such an ass on these choses...

I wish someone would handle him... someone like Alton.
