Gauntlet 3: Coral Vs. Beth - Match of the Decade

Yes! The Real World/Road Rules Challenges have been going on for over a decade and not once have I seen a more intence elimination battle. But before I get into that, let me start from the beginning.

The Veterans team decided to finally throw a mission to send one of their girls home. CT made a comment around the girls saying that it was time to start "cutting the fat" from the team - to which the lovely Katie replied in anger. I have not seen Miss Katie flip out at someone since the great topless fight she had with Veronica in the Inferno 1... it was about damn time! Katie flipped out at CT and said things I won't repit haha. Anyway, Katie's freak-out didn't help the girls because the Veteran males still lost the mission in purpose and handed the win over to the struggling Rookies team. As a result, the Rookies get to choose one girl to send into the Gauntlet. The girl happened to be Coral - one of their strongest girl. Coral was pissed and warned her team not to send Beth in against her 'cuz she was scared to go against her. Coral knows Beth could easily eliminate her knowing she's a lot older and heavier. The Vet team didn't listen and still sent Beth in, their oldest and weaker team player. This is when it got good, the two players with the most challenge history are now in trying to take each other out in Ball Brawl.. it's a long and intense match where Beth had the right techniques to take Coral down but didn't know how to take the ball away from her. Coral's face got slammed into the sand a whole lot but in the end pulled off a win. Beth is now eliminated and the Veterans couldn't be happier. Again, it was the best elimination match I've seen since Sarah eliminated Irulan in The Gauntlet 1.

The next episode wasn't nearly as good... the Veterans win again... it's a male gauntlet day.. Derek and Ryan are sent in.. they play the dumb puzzle game I extremely hate and in the end Derek got eliminated. The Rookies team have now lost seven players total and looking at previews, Jillian goes into the Gauntlet next week for the fourth time in a row.. this time against Melinda - can she pull off yet another win? Can't wait to see this.
