Real World/Road Rules Challenge, Battle of the Sexes 2 Reunion: Secrets From Elimination Hill

by Jason Borelli -- 02/05/2005
After yet another dismal season, we get the usual reunion. Learn more about the Challengers, as well as never-before-seen clips, most of which are better than the stuff we saw.

It's time to put another mediocre season to bed. The good news: this reunion does illuminate what has been a dismal edition of the Challenge. The bad news? We're starting over in a month. More on that later.

Montage of clips and studio segments. Coral: "I talk to people the way I want! You're not God here!" Dan play-slaps Brad, then Brad goes into a decent Chris Farley routine. Eric: "I don't want to know who did it or nothing. Just return it." Brad: "The real bitches in the end were these four right here." Ayanna goes ballistic on Elimination Hill. I cannot believe I picked her to make the final team. Theo: "I'm not busting in your bedroom, am I?" Brad taunts the camera. Coral feels the reunion is stressful. Aneesa rubs her butt in bed, laughing that the editors can't use the footage. Three girls fall out as the bench their sitting on snaps.

After the credits, we go to MTV Studios. Our host is Lala. Complain if you must, but I'm taking her over Jonny Moseley. Heck, I'd take Jesse Camp over Jonny at this point. We have Mark, Brad, Steven, Tonya, Eric, Arissa, Theo, Coral, Dan, Veronica, Mike, Sophia and Tina. Wardrobe of note: Veronica is wearing a t-shirt with a cartoon cat, proclaiming "I [heart] my pussy." Eric has a "Get Tiny" t-shirt. Oh, and the jump rope is around his neck. On the flip side, Mike is dressed real snazzy. Almost makes me forget that he was the seventh guy voted out and wouldn't have been here unless he was "The Miz."

Lala starts with the guys winning thirteen out of sixteen missions and the $180,000. She asks Coral what happened. Coral replies that the "Battle of the Sexes" concept was dumb. "I can't outrun Eric Nies," she adds, "with or without the jump rope." She adds that it was almost impossible to create physically fair missions. It's funny how she wanted to do BOTS during the Inferno reunion. Mark brings up Cast a Spell, which was a mental mission. Tonya curses him out, then flips two birds. Classy! Coral tells Mark to get over it. Lala asks Dan why the men dominated. He thinks that the girls bitched too much. Coral: "Steven slapped someone on your team!" Dan continues that the girls would go halfway through a mission before getting "self-combusted."

Lala tells us that this Challenge wasn't about guys versus girls so much as veterans versus newcomers. Clip montage! Rachel talks to Veronica about the "young bitches" and how they can't let them win. Coral brings up people thinking she's in an alliance with other veterans. Sophia thinks the veterans are running the show. Cut to Rachel getting axed, which she didn't see coming. On the guys' side, newcomer Adam is ticked off that he got bounced, and Brad agrees with him. Coral complains to Mike about him, Abram and Rachel getting eliminated.

Lala asks Veronica if she felt threatened when Rachel got booted. Veronica answers that the Inner Circle took out the one girl that intimidated the guys. She added that the guys would tell the girls which ones had to go. Dan questions that insinuation, insisting that he didn't vote off women. Tina accuses the guys of putting ideas into the women's heads, which caused fights. Eric starts with Tonya, accusing her of stealing his rope, and he wanted payback over that. Sophia says that the young kids got affected about the veterans. Coral thinks the younger players didn't know how to play the game. Tina: "Just perform and you'll be straight."

Coral figures that Rachel left because "a bunch of bitches" tried to break the alliance. "My alliance was with the other girls who could me some cash," she continues. "It could have been Angela, who I hated. It could have been anybody else. If Trishelle's dumb ass was on the show, it would have been with her, too. I want the sixty grand, and I don't give a [bleep] who helps me win it." What makes the rant even funnier is Theo trying to look down Coral's top.

Veronica adds that she and Coral have done a lot of Challenges, and they know each other better than, say, Angela. Coral: "Angela was a little bitch!" Tonya says that she wanted to shove a rock in Angela's mouth the next time she sees her. Yeah, I can see Angela getting that type of reaction. Tina tells Tonya that she was the only person who put rocks in her mouth during Melt With You. Tina adds, "You amaze me what you put in your mouth!" There's a collective "Oh, snap!" moment for the audience and cast members.

Lala tells Arissa that she's been quiet. Arissa thinks the arguing is BS since her team lost. Lala brings up Arissa getting involved with the veterans. Arissa doesn't think she aligned with anybody specifically, and she didn't want drama. Lala moves on to the Sophia/Ruthie alliance. Cut to footage of Ruthie wanting Sophia to take out either Arissa or Tonya, followed by Coral and Arissa giving Sophia flak for wanting to keep Ruthie. Back at the studio, Sophia tells us that she was friends with Ruthie before the Challenge (presumably on the gay & lesbian talk circuit), and they had each other's backs. Some of the other women jump in, saying that's an alliance. Sophia states that the only ones who didn't lead three times were Tonya and Arissa. Tonya reveals she was going after Sophia. After all the Inner Circles where Sophia wasn't even an option for elimination, this is news to me. Sophia says that Tonya didn't want to vote for Katie because they were best friends. Tonya defines Katie as a "good friend." Sophia retorts that Katie had told her about this. Scandal! She adds that she and Ruthie played things fair to the end, and that Ruthie got a raw deal.
