List of episodes

Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet 2 is the 11th season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge (at the time known as Real World/Road Rules Challenge).

The Gauntlet II marked T. J. Lavin's first time presenting the series, regularly hosting the program from this season forward. Prior seasons only used temporary hosts. The season is the second in the Gauntlet series, with the original Gauntlet airing in 2003–2004 and The Gauntlet III following in 2008.

Format

The teams were designated Veterans and Rookies, based on the number of prior seasons of Real World/Road Rules Challenge on which each cast member had competed. Those on the Veterans team had been on at least two prior seasons, and those on the Rookies team had been on fewer than two seasons. For this season, a male and female captain were determined at the beginning of the season. After each team challenge, the losing team captain was sent to the "Gauntlet", where they would face an opponent of the same sex and same team who was voted into the Gauntlet by the respective team. Contestants competed for over $300,000 in rewards. [1]

Notes

  1. 1 2 Beth refused to compete in the "Beach Brawl" Gauntlet. Aneesa became the new team captain by default.
  2. ↑ Jamie was placed on the Rookies team, despite this being his third time as a contestant on the series following Extreme Challenge and Battle of the Sexes .
  3. 1 2 Cameran gave the win to Kina, and did not compete in the "Capture The Flag" Gauntlet.
  4. 1 2 Jo withdrew from the game in Episode 1 before the first challenge. As a result, Kina was named team captain for coming in second in the Captain's challenge.
  5. ↑ Since the Veterans had two more players, they had to pick one male and one female to sit out from the "Rickshaw Races" challenge. The designated players would also be automatically safe from elimination. The Veterans selected Syrus and Montana.
  6. 1 2 3 4 Only the first event was played, after the Veterans team bet 248 coins on the roti eating challenge. After a loss gave the Rookies 249 coins, the Veterans elected to forfeit, on the basis that Aneesa could not win against the three Rookies that were to race her in the relay event on horseback. (Episode recap) During the reunion show, Mark and Robin attributed the loss to a bout of food poisoning the night before.
