Over the Border and Through the Sand, to Puerto Vallarta We Go

The Gauntlet has moved to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico, and is crazier than ever! This season, teams are split into Veterans and Rookies. Team Veteran consists of old school players such as Mike, Coral, CT, and Katie and are pitted against the Rookies, some new kids who no one really recognizes, to win an incredibly handsome (I'm talking suit-and-tie-handsome) $300,000 reward.

The Vets seam to be pretty stacked, in my opinion. Everytime I see the Rookies team, I'm constantly asking myself, “Who are these kids?” Except for Brooke. Everyone remembers Brooke.
The first mission, an old school game of tug of war, resulted in a winner takes all of the beds type of reward, and most likely set the tone for the rest of the competition.

While the challenges are definitely intense, I think the “interactions” between cast members are going to be unbelievably noteworthy. Alliances will form, hearts will be broken, and one team will walk away with the grand prize.

I've missed the first two episodes of the new Gauntlet! It definitely looks like it will be a great guilty pleasure and lord knows the challenge shows are more exciting than Real World has been in six seasons or so.
