Read here for a recap of last night's Real World/Road Rules Inferno Challenge along with a HUGE tidbit of gossip involving Survivor's Jeff Probst.........

by Trevor Freeman

Last night’s Inferno was the best episode of a Real World/Road Rules Challenge I have seen in a long time. Anytime you get somebody uttering, “Call me a ho all you want, but don’t call me a liar” you are witnessing the brilliance which is Reality Television.

This line came about when Robin and Tonya got into a heated altercation about Robin’s boyfriend Mark. Apparently Beth told Robin that Tonya had told her that she spent a weekend with Mark watching movies and hanging out. Or in other words, doing the hibbity-dibbity. Robin confronted Tonya on this and they got into a screaming match. Tonya after some lengthy arguing offered up that she had slept with Mark and punctuated the exchange with that classic line. Somehow this did not lead to an all out catfight, which actually had me a bit puzzled.

Following the argument, Tonya went looking for Beth. Tonya wanted to talk to Beth about what Beth had told Robin. Beth at first acted like she was asleep, but Tonya would not relent. Then Beth told Tonya she would not discuss anything with her unless Robin was there. This lit a fire under Tonya and she proceeded to take Beth’s luggage and throw it in the pool (carefully dispersing her clothes in an effort to make sure they were all wet). Tonya then returned and asked Beth if she would talk. Beth told her she would not until Robin came. Tonya then grabbed another one of Beth’s suitcases and informed Beth that she would be able to find all of her clothes in the pool. During these entire proceedings, you could see the evil that is Veronica and Rachel openly encouraging all of this. Beth finally awoke to find all of her clothes scattered around the pool area and was furious. Due to all of this, Tonya was forced to spend the night in a local hotel. All in all it was a great night on the Inferno.

The following morning was the mission. It involved two people swinging off of a bungee with one person having to drop the other into a bunch of marked out squares in the water. Each square was worth a certain number of points. The only team to successfully complete this were Abram and Rachel for the Bad A$$es, hence their team won the $10,000. Following this, each team had to select someone from the opposing team to go into the Inferno. The Bad A$$es selected Robin figuring that the Good Guys would select Beth or Tonya and we would have an all-out war. However the Good Guys surprised everyone and went with Tina. This is where last night’s installment of the Inferno ended. All in all just a stellar episode.

Courtesy of http://realworldroadrules.blogspot.com/ which is relaying the article from Dave Meltzer at “The Wrestling Observer” (http://www.liveaudiowrestling.com/wo/news/headlines/default.asp?aID=12680) I have a nice tidbit of gossip. Apparently Jeff Probst (whom we all know is now dating Julie Berry) was dating none other than Katie (Road Rules “The Quest”, the Gauntlet, The Inferno I, Battle of the Sexes, also known as Veronica’s best friend) not too long ago. However according to these reports she was stolen away from Probst by Johnny Rotten (or Fairplay whatever you want to call him) at an after-party for the last season of Survivor. According to these reports, the story came from Fairplay himself, while Probst has yet to offer details on the situation. Take that for what it’s worth.

 Read here for a recap of last night's Inferno. We also reveal the real story involving Jeff Probst and Johnny Fairplay as revealed to Trevor by a source close to Survivor. There is also a nice Real World item tucked in.

Going into this episode of the Inferno I think we all knew the magic that was last week’s episode would be tough to match. However, I thought Monday’s installment of Real World/Road Rules Challenge was a pretty solid effort.

The show began with Jamie and Robin informing Beth that CT and Abram were talking about throwing a mission in order to get Tina the lifesaver. Tina would then use the lifesaver to send Beth into the Inferno. Upon getting wind of these plans, Beth confronted Abram and anyone else who would listen to her shrieking.

Following this screaming, we got to our mission for this episode. A helicopter was to fly overhead and drop fake money onto the ground. Whichever team scooped up the most fake money would win the mission. The lifesaver would also be awarded in this mission to whomever picked up the most money. The Bad A$$es (sans Beth) immediately decided that they would give whatever money they picked up to Tina in an effort to get her the Lifesaver. The mission began and Tina was running around like an 800-pound sumo wrestler due to the fake money she was getting handed from every direction and stuffing down her shirt. On the “Good Guys” side, Shavonda and Jamie were giving Robin their money in an effort to get her the Lifesaver. This did not go over very well with the male members on their team. After Dave Mirra blew the whistle ending the mission, he announced that there was a final catch to it. Each person would have five minutes to count up the money they had accumulated. If you do not count up your money exactly right, then you are disqualified. This move screwed Tina and Robin, as they could not accurately count up the fake money they had collected. Since Tina was running around with the lion’s share of the “Bad A$$es” money this inability to count all the fake money cost them the mission. The “Good Guys” posted their first win of the Challenge. Lifesavers were awarded to Mike for the “Good Guys” and Derrick for “Bad Asses”.

After a commercial break we were taken to the Inferno. It is this contrived setting and introduction of characters that makes this show “go”. I mean how incredibly hilarious is it seeing two semi-adults walk in and prepare for battle like they are heavyweights about to engage in a World Title bout. Instead of calling this portion of the show, “The Inferno” they should call it “The Battle to Add Another Minute onto Your 15 Minutes of Fame.” Anyways, the contest in this week’s Inferno involved having a bag equaling your body weight tied to your body and hanging off a rope behind you. Each person would have to run through the sand to a fence holding a key with this weight pulling them back. The first person to use this key and unlock themselves would win. This contest was never even close as Tina beat Robin handily. The real highlight was Robin post-Inferno; crying about how much loved being a “Good Guy” and how she’ll miss her teammates. I would equivocate the way she was crying to when Chris Carrawell walked off the court for Duke after ending his college career with a loss in the NCAA Tournament, except on a much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much smaller scale.

Post-Inferno was another shouting match involving Beth. This time her and the evil Veronica were getting into it over the “Bad A$$es” trying to throw the mission and send her into the Inferno. The real highlight of this was Veronica wearing a T-Shirt that read “Future MILF”. I found this insulting to all current “MILFs” out there as I just cannot see Veronica breaking into that sorority. On that note, last night’s episode of the Inferno ended.

Onto to a tip I got from a source close to Survivor (and yes I just LOVED writing that) and some Real World gossip.

In regards to what I wrote about the Jeff Probst/Katie/Johnny Fairplay love triangle a source close to Survivor sent me this e-mail.

“Hi, there. I couldn't help but respond to the rumor about Fairplay/Probst and a Road Rules contestant. 100% fabricated by Fairplay...he admitted as much after having said it to a Canadian publication. Probst had never even heard of her. As is always the case with Fairplay, take everything he says with a grain of salt...he'll say anything to stay in the papers...he could care less if it's true or not!!

Just an fyi.”

Consider this story put to bed. Also, let me say this. If you were going to fabricate a rumor involving a girl on Reality TV putting a wedge between you and Jeff Probst, wouldn’t you choose a much, much, much, much hotter girl than Katie? What’s sad is Johnny Fairplay is such a piece of white trash that he probably thinks Katie is the end all be all.

Onto some Real World tidbits and this is courtesy of http://realworldroadrules.blogspot.com/. If you would like to try out for the Real World here is your chance. Go to the link below and you can find out about places where they will be casting. For all of you readers at home, let’s just hope that whomever was casting for Real World Philadelphia got fired and there are fresh new faces. Despite my heavy Internet lobbying, I was sadly not chosen to help out in this process. And yes, it is a shame.

 Read here for a recap of last night's Inferno along with some casting information on a new reality show being started by a former Road Rules member.

God bless TIVO, as without it there would not be a column on the Inferno today. I deserve extra credit, as I stayed up until about 12:45 making sure to watch the Real World/Road Rules Challenge after a raucous NCAA Title game.

Last night’s episode was a letdown compared with the prior two. The show began with Beth departing the challenge. Beth said she didn’t feel safe and that her personal property was in danger if she stayed. Losing Beth was a blow as she had proved to be the main “drama-provider” the last two weeks. First there was the revolutionary episode involving Tonya throwing Beth’s clothes in the pool. That was followed up by last week’s verbal melee with Veronica. Before leaving, Beth got in some parting shots though. She said something implying that Veronica is a lesbian because she thinks it’s cool. I’m not sure the exact wording but that is what it sounded like. Pretty interesting comment as I never had confirmation that Veronica actually was a lesbian (I never watched her season of Road Rules though). After Beth departed there was some group discussion about her leaving led by the ever-wise Brad (btw, how him and Randy haven’t gotten their own MTV reality show named “Bar-Hopping”, I will never know). They all seem to feel that Beth dug her own grave. I somewhat agree. After all she was the person that told Robin that Tonya was sleeping with Robin’s boyfriend.

The challenge for this week was one of the lamer ones I have seen in awhile. To be quite honest, it was late and I’m not even quite sure how to explain it. It involved standing on a balancing beam and having one person on one side switch clothes with the person standing on the complete opposite side with the other members of your team sandwiched imbetween them. The “Good Guys” won this challenge and extended their winning streak to two in a row.

Following the challenge the teams had to decide on who they wanted to send on the other team into the Inferno. The “Good Guys” immediately decided on Karamo because they felt he was the weakest guy left on the “Bad A$$” team. On the “Bad A$$” team there was some infighting. Karamo wanted to send Landon in because he knew he was the player being chosen by the “Good Guys”. CT heavily objected (he wanted to send in Mike) and told Karamo to sit his black a$$ down at one point. Shockingly enough this did not lead to any fisticuffs, which I think disappointed me and every other viewer of the show. The final conclusion of the “Bad A$$” team was to send in Mike.

After the naming of the Inferno participants, Tina, Mike and a couple other members of the team were sitting around the kitchen. Tina accused Mike and Abram of having an alliance together. This set Abram off as he screamed at Tina and then hurled what looked like a glass on the ground. This seemed somewhat contrived. They are going to have to do a more convincing job next time if they want me to buy into this. The show ended on this note.
