Less Is More

On MTV's Gauntlet 3 the score is something like 5-1, Veterans. They are handing out verbal, physical, and mental ass whoopings to the Rookies, however I don't think they realize that this is somewhat of a blessing in disguise.

Less is definitely more in this case. While the rookies are probably going to need to step it up a little, they have already had the advantage of “less is more” by winning their only challenge due to the number of people on their team. Less people in the end means less dead weight you have to carry, less screaming at your slow team you have to do, and more money to split between the remaining members. The Vets are too “proud” of their wins. They have realized now that they need to start throwing missions to lose some players, but the challenge is almost half over. We can watch tonight and see how everything goes down, but I think everyone who watches the show has a pretty good idea already.

If they Vets start a mind game the war will be within the team and not within the final mission. No matter the score of the pre-games, the Rookies will undoubtedly crush the Vets if they can't pull together as a (larger) team and get the job done.
