<b>THE CHALLENGE: BATTLE OF THE SEASONS WEEKLY POWER RANKINGS</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b> - FINALS EDITION -</b></div>
<br>
Almost four months ago, eight teams of four embarked on an incredible journey in Turkey to reach the point at which we now find ourselves. Teams Austin (an unfortunate early exit), Fresh Meat (troubled from the start), New Orleans (Knight and Jemmye had a valiant showing), St. Thomas (an amazing rookie season), and Cancun (deserved to be in the finals) are no longer with us. The three remaining teams, Brooklyn, San Diego, and Las Vegas (minus Nany and Alton) all deserve to be at this point and all have worked hard, played hard, and persevered amidst various obstructions, blowups, and internal combustions. There is one obstacle left: the final challenge, an unknown and potentially dangerous sojourn in the Namib Desert. These are the last weekly power rankings before the finals. I hope you enjoy.<br>

The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons remaining competitors are literally on the verge of jumping out of a plane into the Namib desert to embark on a final challenge that even TJ thinks is undoable. In order to best encapsulate the awesome and incredible season this has been, I have decided to split up the column this week. First, is the retro running diary of the penultimate and final elimination episode. Early next week, I will release my pre-final power rankings and some further analysis of the remaining teams and their chances in the Namib Desert experience. Here we go... <br>

Can you feel it? The momentum of The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons has picked up like the volatility in Frank’s personality while drinking. Each moment of each episode now feels like an essential window into the potentiality of the final challenge. This past week, the Challenge cast journeyed from near and far to New York to film the reunion special, a sign that the end is near. With only one episode left before the final, I have decided to keep on the retro running diary train to make sure that every important moment (and as you will soon find out if you actually read through all of this prose before hitting the rankings) gets mentioned. On to our last night spent in the confines of Turkey before a major location change in preparation for the final...<br>

<b>THE CHALLENGE: BATTLE OF THE SEASON Week 9 Power Rankings</b><br>
<br>
In my last The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons weekly rankings column, I went all retro-running diary because the action of the episode was just too much to effectively account for any other way. This week’s episode may have even pushed the scale of awesomeness a few steps higher (the weekly challenge and especially the night time drama raised these stakes), so until something changes (and with the final challenge coming up later this month), I am going to keep rocking the retro-running diary until it loses its potency. As established last week, the times are EST on the night the original episode aired, so feel free to follow along while viewing for the first time or while re-watching.<br>

<b>THE CHALLENGE: BATTLE OF THE SEASON Week 9 Power Rankings</b><br>
<br>
I was going to save my first The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons running diary for a season finale recap (epic, groundbreaking, and one of a kind athletic competitions demand such attention), but this week’s episode arena battle between Team Cancun’s CJ and Team San Diego’s Zach (both one-time NFL aspiring uber-athletes) was so phenomenal (and according Sarah on twitter: “that elimination between @ZachMTV & @CJKoegelMTV was a MILLION times more intense in real life vs how it looked on TV”) that a running retro diary is the only way to appropriately depict the glory in prose. If you re-watch or have not watched yet, I am indicating the time on the EST telecast that each moment went down if you want to follow along.<br>

<br>
We are now somewhere close to the halfway point of this (the 23rd!) season of MTV’s The Challenge. Last week’s unnecessary hiatus for Halloween programming (You are telling me that the prospect of a Frank meltdown is not ghoulish enough for viewers?) gave me some time for a reflection on a television show/fifth professional sport that’s first airing dates back to the middle of President Clinton’s second term. For any television show to last 23 seasons and 14 years is an accomplishment in itself, but this season’s influx of new blood and talent accentuates a main reason for the (and dare I say continuing) success of the franchise. The Challenge has always been in a malleable state that continues to strive for reinvention, reinvigoration, reformatting, and rethinking. Bunim-Murray producer land has always been driven to make each new show more interesting and more compelling than the one previous. This approach is not always successful and there have been some off seasons, but this sprint away from complacency is one of the primary root causes of longevity.<br>

Frequently during those final games of final seasons all that remains is a shell of the former self, a shadow and a memory of the good times we’ve had and a reminder of just how quickly time can pass us by. Larry Bird’s final season in 1992, before his career succumbed to a debilitating back injury, had such a quality. I remember on a Sunday afternoon in March listening to a throwback game on the radio<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=woAK1i-o2wI" style="text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">against the Blazers when Larry was <i>the Legend</i> again for one last time</a>. As young fan and admirer of my Celtics hero, I knew that this was a special day that I should cherish because there would not be too many more like them (Bird retired that summer).</span><br>

We are now five episodes, two full team eliminations, countless Camila meltdowns and T.J. “we killed its,” three Big Easy induced disqualifications, one GBH (guy back home) breakup over the phone, one messy drunk Frank night, one troublesome instance of Knight helping Nany with her laundry, several episodes in which JD and Robb did not make the edit, and a few sketchy rumors about why certain teams (Real World: Sydney) and players (Johanna from Real World: Austin) did not participate (it may have had something to do with not wanting to be around a certain ginger-haired ex-boyfriend) into this “living up to the hype” season of The Challenge. So far, the “Battle of the Seasons” format has provided a worthy framework for some unexpected power grabs, either seemingly unbreakable team unity or habitual team dysfunction, and a likely fabricated but relevant influx of Real World season pride. To the credit of Bunim-Murray/MTV producers, this season’s The Challenge feels both fresh (game format innovation, some worthy new blood) and familiar (some “ready to the take the leap” competitors, reliably dramatic and entertaining).<br>

Knight’s actions in this week’s “let’s cliffhang the elimination to accentuate the Devyn/Easy romantic drama” episode were the opposite of heroic, really turned me off, and made me yearn for the menace of the Joker (<a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=8942182&mesg_id=8947613" target="_blank">at least his chaos was thoughtful and clever</a>) to put this gutless and dark less than Knight in his place.</span><br>

<b>Reality TV Friday Podcast: Jersey Shore, The Challenge, and Survivor</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
We might need to rename the podcast formerly known as "Reality TV Friday" to "The Knight Show." Not only is there wordplay going on, but we were so taken with Knight's performance on this week's Challenge that we couldn't help but spend a good 20 minutes analyzing his machinations. We also touched upon the bizarre romance of Big Easy and Devyn, as well as Jonny Moseley's appalling haircut. Scared of stepping on Derrick Kosinski's toes, we also talk about Survivor, Jersey Shore, and our respective Weird Watches of the Week. Stop being polite, get real with us. (Sorry, couldn't help myself.)<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">"Cleaning Out a Pool Full of Dirty Laundry"</span></b><br>
<br>
WOW! This podcast is FULL of mayhem, much like the bus was the other night on The Challenge. Eric, Chet, and Knight join Derrick to sort out every one's dirty laundry. Later,the 4 decide to get together and clean it in the pool. Just kidding. But,yes, it pretty much gets that chaotic. We find out why the competitors are making these brash decisions and where the challenge power is going. Hear why C.J. is being called a "phony," how all the drama ensued on the bus, why Knight has been able to fly under the radar and tons more. Every situation thru the first 4 episodes has been thoroughly investigated and is being presented to you right here. Sit back and enjoy a very insightful range of thoughts explaining much of who, what, where, when and how this season of The Challenge has unfolded.<br>

The end of the summer/the start of the fall marks the beginning of two of the country's favorite sports, the NFL and MTV's “The Challenge”. To me, Sundays are devoted to football, unhealthy snacks, and trying to get Matthew Berry to answer my fantasy football questions on Twitter. Wednesdays are very similar. It's a countdown to 10 pm ET, a few less unhealthy snacks, and trying to virtually hit on Emily Schromm, Cara Maria, and Sarah on Twitter. These are a just a few of the many similarities between 'The Challenge' and the NFL. Let's look at some of the Challengers and their NFL counterparts...</div>

<br>
In the mean time, enjoy a very fun podcast with two classic characters from "The Challenge." <b>Eric</b> and <b>Sarah</b> continue to surprise people whether they're winning or losing. The same happens on this podcast with these two. They prove to show that it's NOT everything you see on T.V. Take a listen as these guys give us an inside scoop behind the scenes,before the scenes,and LIVE in person with no edits. On top of that,we've implemented the "C'mon MAN?!?!" theme and it will most likely become a re-occurring phrase as it is with the ever so awesome NFL commentators, thanks to Eric and Sarah. Haha. Cheers guys. Enjoy.<br>

<b>"Battle of the Seasons" Power Rankings/Preview</b><br>
<br>
Welcome to 23rd installment of MTV's hit competitive reality series "The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons." Since MTV decided against showing you guys a pre-show of sorts, Me, Evan, and Susie took it upon ourselves to make it happen. As you guys may already know, Susie has been around since Road Rules season 6 and then literally put that show to rest with MTV's final attempt to keep it alive on Road Rules:Viewer's Revenge. On top of that,she has never been defeated in an elimination round along with 3 challenge victories. Looks may be deceiving, but numbers don't lie. My other expert is non other then Evan Starkman who should quite possibly be nominated for a Moon Man for the personality he continues bring to the podcast every single time. His analysis is great and will always be mentioned amongst the elite competitors to ever play the game. As always, sit back, relax, and laugh a little. This podcast is insightful for the competition and fresh faces you're about to encounter and equally as funny. Feel free to spread the word my friends. Retweets on Twitter are always appreciated.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,
Team Ultimate Challenge Radio<br>

Ten years ago, the fifth ever season of “The Challenge” debuted on MTV. It featured guy/girl pairs, each from a different season of “The Real World” or “Road Rules”. It included such Challenge power-players as Mike “The Miz”, Coral, Theo, Timmy, Veronica, and it was even hosted by Eric Nies and the Godfather, Mark Long. A decade plus later, MTV has brought back the “Battle of the Seasons”, but this time it will focus solely on a collection of reuniting Real-Worlders. On paper, it certainly doesn't look to have the star-power as it's predecessor (as bluntly pointed out by Challenge superstar, Johnny Bananas), but as with most Challenges, it still has some intriguing storylines to explore.<br>

<b>"The Storm is Brewing"</b><br>
<br>
The cast on Real World: St.Thomas has been able to hold it together for the past few weeks. They've gotten to know each other, some of their fascinating stories have come afloat, but according to Marie and LaToya, the fun and games are over. The storm is here. On this podcast, we break down much of this mid season trailer and discuss the drama that's about to hit Hassell Island. If it wasn't a hassle then, it is now. We see pushing and shoving from Swift and LaToya. Robb is burning himself with cigarettes. Brandon expresses that he hasn't been as clean as people think and the major explosion will erupt once Laura finally meets Trey's "Girl Back Home." I can't wait!! It looks hilarious and awesome all at the same time,as sick as that may sound. Anyways,thanks for stopping by the podcast and hoping you guys enjoy the rest of the season. Hope everyone is doing well.<br>

Sincerely,

<b>"When Sea Urchins Attack"</b><br>
<br>
It's Pure Mayhem on this podcast!! Swift plays houdini, Brandon doesn't hold back and Robb gets brownie points for being one of the nicest guys in America. It doesn't stop there. The attack of sea urchins, the stench of dead barracudas, and the upcoming pranks from entirely way too large pigs also play a major role. Interested in Robb's take on Marie, how Brandon's been taking the brutally honest experience of being on TV, or Swift's NEW Real World/Road Rules Challenge record.<br>
<br>
Sit back and relax and laugh a little because this is one random podcast<br>
<br>
Sincerely,

<b>"Life is a Beach"</b><br>
<br>
Welcome to the Podcast Premier of Real World: St.Thomas!! As of right now,there's no sign of any After shows on MTV or <a href="http://MTV.com/">MTV.com</a>, so keep a close eye to our Twitters for links to upcoming podcasts.<br>
<br>
A close friend of mine recently called this season a "snoozer." I said you've gotta be out of your mind!! The group has just recently discovered a very disheartening diary belonging to one of the roommates expressing some pretty serious information. On the next episode Robb is punching himself in the face with the house phone. There are 3 relationships spawning and after one certain break up,that seems to be smothering, I'm predicting the house will be on fire!! The roomies have their own personal taxi boat and their house is on an island!! What's not to like about the Real World so far?? They're drinking, they're joking, and they're making fun of each other. For starters, I think so far so good. And after 2 episodes, we're answering all your thoughts and filling in all the blanks on this particular podcast.<br>
<br>
Sit back, relax, and be laugh a little as we join Trey and LaToya on their new adventure.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,
Team Ultimate Challenge Radio<br>
