A few quick thoughts...

Ok, seriously, who watches Real World Road Rules Inferno? If you watch either of the original series that feeds the show you don't know what you're missing out on by not watching this show. Anyway, I'm going to assume that you all have at least a rudimentary idea of how the show works. For the specifics of Inferno, the short explanation goes like this. The two teams (this season the "Good Guys" vs. the "Bad Asses" as determined by previous behavior) compete in challenges for money and immunity. Basically there is one mission simply for prizes each week, then the second challenge allows the individual from each team with the best score to avoid being sent to the inferno, or they can take the place of the person who was sent. Whoever loses in the inferno goes home. This is where my whole point for this blog came up. To determine who gets sent to the inferno the opposing team votes who they want to face their competitor. Basically, they blindly pick someone from the other team based on who they think the other team will choose from their team. Sound confusing? It's not. The whole point is that they sit around at a big meeting and announce who they want from the other team and everyone gasps and the like.

Now, my roommates and I, while watching literally every episode, always say aloud, "wow, I wonder if they make them write down who they're going to choose before the whole ritual because it seems like the second team to announce would just change who they pick based on who gets sent from their team. For example, the Bad Asses choose the Good Guys' best player, the Good Guys use this info to choose the Bad Asses' worst player so as to have an advantage. We wonder this every time! Finally, like 10 episodes in, somebody from the Good Guys realizes they could do this, simply choosing right then and there. Eureka! Of course, the Bad Asses somehow find out the Good Guys did this and have a fucking hissy fit. They think it's blatant cheating and that even though there is no rule saying you can't - it's bullshit. And they're team name is the Bad Asses! What pussies. Really, moreso than pussies, what idiots. It took them like 3 seasons of this format to figure this all out? I guess the whole point of the blog is that there is indeed a reason these people spend all their time competing in reality game shows...what else could they possibly do for a living? Three seasons!
