My sincerest apologies to you all for not talking about this show until now. As I said before I was extremely busy and needed the time to catch up on a lot of the episodes before I could give an honest opnion.
First I'm going to talk about the show and then each individual team person
I'd have to say that this show exceeded my expectations. I prefer a new season of Real World first, and slightly less prefer Road Rules. But when they just throw old people together it can make for a BORING show.
Luckily, these people had gross missions, fought, couldn't stand each other at times and got on each others nerves so it definetely made for good television.
My two cents are that I am very glad that RW kicked RR butt's cause I think they played together better as a team and deserved it.
now on to the players...
Jamie - My opinion of him is much improved from RW New Orleans. He kicked butt in the missions and didn't piss anyone off as I recall. He actually looked pretty decent on the 1/2 hour reunion although his little goatee on the show was kind of nasty.
Julie- As usual Julie kicks butt. The fact that she ate those animal brains (and other nasty parts) and didn't complain and she put her all in every mission gives her brownie points in my book.
Kameelah- As with Jamie, much improved over RW Boston. She wasn't doing her white people suck attitude thing and was positively contributing to the group.
Syrus- Well if I had to like one RW'er least it would be Syrus. His attitude at times was not necessary, as in the fight with James for example. As I recall Syrus started the fight. He was athletic but he coulda ditched his sometime-attitude.
Dan - Kinda seemed like a fish out of water sometimes but I didn't really have a problem with him. Wasn't as strong as he thought he was but still gave enough of an effort that RW won a majority of the missions.
Rebecca- I like her but maybe liked her a little more when she was cute, quiet, innocent Rebecca on the RW Seattle. Here she was slighly more edgy, "rock star" in the making Rebecca who was drooling after James or was it vice versa? So didn't hate her but liked her slightly better back then.
Road Rulers
James - Liked him here better than on Road Rules. He's definetely the stereotypical frat boy but I liked his must win attitude, except for what happened at the paint ball challenge and the refusing to do the Judge Mills challenge.
Laterrian- He picked up a LOT of respect in my book after the Judge Mills challenge. He had a good attitude and really came into his own here more than he did on Road Rules.
Susie - She's too much of a sorority ho to have given a huge effort here, which she didn't. She was like "I can't do this." Well than Miss. Susie, you shouldn't be on this show. She wanted the prize $$ alright, but she wasn't willing or capable of working for it.
Michelle - She was practically non-existent here. I didn't see her original RR too much, because it was so boring and she certainly did not seem very interesting here as was her show.
Ayanna - I DO like Ayanna but there is no reason for her to be hitting Christian, if Christian really did say a racist remark, maybe she should have rallied the others to kick him off the show, but hitting him for it and getting herself kicked off was plain old stupid!
Christian- He was a pretty good team player, since he helped them win a few missions, most noticably the high wire one. He is a little cliquey but overall not too bad.
Emily - I liked her much better on her original show. Her nasty attitude toward Julie was not appropriate and her constant negativity wasn't helping herself out either.
