Real World/Road Rules: The Gauntlet.
This RP is basically like the show. I will be controlling every aspect of the show.


The Voting Process
Road Rules and Real World each have 16 members. After a mission, each team chooses 1 character to be 'sacrificed' into the Gauntlet. (usually, the weakest player). You can also volunteer yourself to the Gauntlet if you feel you performed poorly. You face off against the chosen person of the other team to see who will stay in the game.

The Ion Life Saver
After each mission, the person who did the best on each team receive the Ion Life Saver. This means that either they cannot go to the Gauntlet, or they can put themselves into the Gauntlet, in replace of the person that the team sent in. All of that is decided right before the Gauntlet occurs.


RP'ing each Mission
I will be RP'ing each character for the missions (yea, it'll be tough RP'ing for 32 different people at first). I'll make it interesting for all of you out there who read this.

The Gauntlet
There are four Gauntlet Missions, which are performed after every mission. They are:

Ride 'Em Cowboy
Basically, it says what it is in the name. Whoever can stay on a mechanical bull the longest with only using one arm wins.

Put It Together
It is a puzzle, in which, all of the pieces are on the pool. Your goal is to get all the pieces (of your color, either red or blue), out of the pool, and you have to put them together to fit the puzzle. It seems quite easy, but it probably the biggest mind game Gauntlet out there.

Pole Climb
Each person must climb to the top of the pole, and pull a handle at the top, which releases your opponents pole, knocking him down into the water.

Dead Man's Drop (My personal favorite)
You hang upside down, 5 feet above the pool. Whoever stays up the longest wins.


Interaction with other Characters
I will be encouraging friction between players, although, actual fighting is banned. Word Fights are ok. It makes things more exciting, hehe. I put on characters from actual RL shows of Real World and Road Rules. Each person that I put on will add a certain excitement to the show. I'm sure most of you have heard who Trishelle is. Yea, she sleeps with everyone, and fights with everyone. So does Veronica on Road Rules. There will be a whole lot of drama, trust me. There may even be a fight, who knows.

I'm not sure this thread will catch on. It seems complicated.

Yes, it sounds complicated, but once it gets started, its as easy as 1,2,3.

The teams will both arrive to the famed Telluride, Colorado, USA. Road Rules and Real World each have their own bus. As each bus drives to the location, there are several conversations going on:


Inside the Road Rules bus
We've got a variety of strong men and women here, and we're gonna kick Real World's butt in this challenge. said Adam.

We just need to make a strategy about voting people into the Gauntlet. It needs to be based on the challenges only, not on personal feelings, and past shows. Sarah, Katie, and Abe have all had bad experiences on their shows, but we can't hold that against them. We need to stick with this challenge only. said Ellen.

The team is silent for a minute, and Sarah comes up with a plan.

In the voting process, we should nominate 3 of the weakest players, giving the weakest person a 3, the 2nd weakest person a 2, and the 3rd weakest a 1. Each person on our team votes for 3 people to go to the Gauntlet. Also, if anyone feels that they need to nominate themselves to go, feel free. announced Sarah.

So its agreed upon? said Timmy.

Everyone nodded their heads and went into their own conversations with their teammates. Sarah, Katie, and Jeremey started talking to each other; Marybeth, Holly, and Cara all started to talk to each other also. Adam, Blair, and Theo began strategizing on who to get rid of.

Ignoring what Ellen said, Adam began to secretly talk to Blair and Theo.

The first 2 people we need to get rid of are Katie and Sarah. We all know that they are gonna keep us from winning. Get rid of them, and we've got a great team. whispered Adam.

At least give them a chance in the first mission Adam. We gotta at least give them a chance. You know, they're probably expecting us to vote for them anyways. If they do well on the first challenge, I won't vote for them, especially if one of them wins it for us. I don't know about Katie, but I think that Sarah has something about her that makes her good for our team. replied Theo.

Inside the Real World bus

We really need to beat Road Rules this time. I'm tired of losing these challenges to them all the time. They won the first Gauntlet and then they won the Inferno. Its time we stepped up and won this. yelled Coral.

If we can get our team to work together for once, instead of fighting....Coral, we may have a chance. said Trishelle.

Excuse me? Who's the one that's been sleeping around with both teams? That's you. Right. (Trishelle tries to jump in) No no, I'm not done yet. You need to shut your mouth for once and listen Trishelle. Instead of sleeping with everyone to stay on the team, we all expect you to perform well on the missions, and to vote according to who performed the worse. No grudges. That's something we all need to agree on. said Coral.

Alright, both of you need to shut your mouths said David. We don't need all this arguing sh*t. You two need to keep your grudges out of this game, or else it's gonna tear apart our team.

He's right replied Leah. Just cool down. Don't vote based on your grudges, we'll be keeping track of who you vote for. If anything, the person who does their worst at the mission should volunteer themself.

That's a good idea. Instead of voting, and causing unneeded drama, everyone volunteering to go to the Gauntlet would be the best way. said Frankie.

Both team arrive at the site of the Challenge. Road Rules and Real World walk out of the bus, and immediately, they must perform their first challenge.

"Welcome Real World and Road Rules to your first challenge in Telluride, Colorado." said the host, Johnny Moseley.

Everyone screams and shouts.

"Your first mission will be to hang upside down above the pool of water for as long as you can. The winner of the mission wins $10,000 and the best times for each team get the Ion Lifesaver, which as you all know, saves you from going into the Gauntlet. Is everyone ready?"

Everyone shouts 'YEA', and gets into place next to the bars that they are going to hang upside down on.

Confessional
"In the last challenge, I won 3 Gauntlets on this mission. I think I'm gonna do very well in this, but then again, my team hates me, and will probably send me into the Gauntlet anyways. Either me or Katie. We seem to be the targets of everyone." said Sarah. A smirk appeared on her face, and suddenly turned into a mean face. She shook her fist at the camera, and then it switches to the challenge.

OOC: Bear in mind, this is a giant pool.


Johnny Moseley blew the whistle, and the bars began to raise up. Everyone was slowly being lifted above the water.

The first 30 seconds pass by, and Marybeth falls off.

"It was hard. I'm just not very good at hanging upside down because I can't really focus. I'm really expecting to be voted into the Gauntlet after this mission, so I'm ready for it." said Marybeth.

Another minute passed by, and the men started to fall off. Adam and Theo of RR both fell off, respectively. On RW, Mike fell off about 10 seconds after Theo, and so did Frank.

By now, 4 minutes have gone by, and everyone is still holding on strong. At 4:34 Timmy fell off, and at 4:45, Blair fell into the pool. The Road Rulers began dropping like flies. At 5:21, Eric fell off, and 2 seconds later, Veronica fell. The second lady for RR to fall.

Real World continued to hold on strong, only losing C.T. at 5:33.

Although, the Real Worlders began to drop. Coral fell at 6:24 and Norman fell 5 seconds later.

At this point, no one dropped for a couple more minutes. The time now reached 9 minutes, but a wave of contestants come down. At 9:26, Dave falls, and at 9:43, Jeremey, the last male of RR, falls. Six women were left for Road Rules, two of them being Katie and Sarah.

"Everyone expected them to do terrible, but they're here to prove everyone wrong." said Coral. "Sarah proved herself in the first Gauntlet, and she'll do it again. She's a strong girl, but I feel bad that she's on Road Rules. If she could switch over, we could kick out Trishelle."
Coral starts to laugh, but the camera switches back to the competition to see none other than Trishelle falling at 9:51.

At 10:02, David RW falls, and only 1 second later, Chris falls. This leaves 7 people for RW, two of them, male, five of them female, and for RR five females also.

Five minutes pass by, and no one falls off, that is, until 15:45, Rachel falls off, from RR. The other Rachel (RW) falls at 15:56. The male contestants cannot hold up much longer as Steven falls off at 16:05, and Ace falls off at 16:32. Frankie also falls off at 16:46.

The time reaches past the twenty minute mark, and at 20:02, Julie falls off, and Leah falls 8 seconds later.

This leaves, for Road Rules:

Katie Doyle
