With a few days before the new season of the \u201cReal World\/Road Rules Challenge\u201d begins, I decided it would be important to thoroughly analyze each of the cast members on both squads. With the season placing the \u201cChampions\u201d vs. \u201cChallengers\u201d it will be interesting to see how they set up the challenges and what the voting-off process will be. With that being said, let\u2019s get down to business. (From this point on I will refer to Road Rules as \u201cRR\u201d and Real World as \u201cRW\u201d and a \u201c*\u201d will be next to cast members I\u2019m not familiar with due to the fact of not watching their season.)<\/p>\n
\u201cChampions\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n \u2022\tDarrell (RR Campus Crawl)<\/strong>: He has been apart of the winning squad on each of his four appearances on the \u201cRW\/RR Challenge,\u201d but it\u2019s been three years since his last challenge and there are a bunch of new players this time around. Tomorrow I will post up my analysis for the \u201cChallengers,\u201d and get your popcorn ready for the premiere on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With a few days before the new season of the \u201cReal World\/Road Rules Challenge\u201d begins, I decided it would be important to thoroughly analyze each of the cast members on both squads.

\n\u2022\tDerrick (RR X-Treme)<\/strong>: Derrick is a feisty competitor. He\u2019s been on eight challenges, including \u201cThe Ruins.\u201d Depending on how they set up the competitions will be a key factor in how well Derrick does. If it\u2019s every person for themselves, then Derrick should do well. If not, then Derrick\u2019s advantages might not be able to be put to good use.
\n\u2022\tEvan (RW\/RR Challenge: Fresh Meat)<\/strong>: Evan won on \u201cThe Duel 2\u201d and it seems that he has a good grasp on how the challenges work. He has a good mix of athletic ability and forming alliances that benefit him greatly.
\n\u2022\tEvelyn (RW\/RR Challenge: Fresh Meat)<\/strong>* I know nothing about Evelyn, but from her good looks I can tell that she\u2019ll at least survive two or three episodes.
\n\u2022\tIbis (RR X-Treme)<\/strong>: Oh, Ibis. She will definitely stay longer than one episode, but she has a history of causing unnecessary drama, which might not allow to her win the challenge, but will definitely, be some interesting television.
\n\u2022\tJohanna (RW: Austin)<\/strong>: Johanna may have a tough challenge this go-round. Her ex-boyfriend Wes, is also on the \u201cChampions\u201d squad and from watching the trailer, I think she\u2019s in a relationship with fellow \u201cChampions\u201d teammate Kenny. That being said, couples usually have better chances of lasting on the show, due to their automatic alliance.
\n\u2022\tJohnny (RW: Key West)<\/strong>*: I don\u2019t know much about Johnny, but he appears to have an easygoing personality that will allow him to skate through most of the challenge without much hard work.
\n\u2022\tKatie (RR: The Quest)<\/strong>: Katie is a staple on the shows. She\u2019s not very good, in my opinion. She\u2019s not overly athletic and her diminutive stature doesn\u2019t help. She will have to rely on the good will from her teammates to make sure her stay is a lengthy one.
\n\u2022\tKenny (RW\/RR Challenge: Fresh Meat)<\/strong>* I think Kenny may be have a target on his back for the entire season. With being a two-time challenge winner and Johanna\u2019s boyfriend, it may be hard for Kenny to have any alliances, that will be crucial in his success this season.
\n\u2022\tSusie (RR: Down Under)<\/strong>: Susie may be too nice for her to really stand a chance in this competition and she doesn\u2019t have the strength to be able to beat the other women in the eliminations, which leaves her with an early exit.
\n\u2022\tSyrus (RW: Boston)<\/strong>: Syrus is one of the oldest, if not the oldest, castmates. Syrus might have a chance of making it through the challenge due to the underestimation of his younger teammates.
\n\u2022\tTanya (RW: Chicago)<\/strong>: Tanya is a wild card. She is what we like to call a \u201cknown unknown.\u201d Or maybe vice versa. Anyway, I don\u2019t know what to expect from Tanya competition-wise, but she will make the show a lot more interesting.
\n\u2022\tVeronica (RR: Semester at Sea)<\/strong>: I think of Veronica as a cuter version of Katie. She\u2019s at a disadvantage, because unlike Katie, she is known as one of the biggest manipulators of the competition. To be honest, she is one of the forefathers on how the game is played now.
\n\u2022\tWes (RW: Austin)<\/strong>: With his ex and her boyfriend on his team, Wes\u2019 target triples in size. Already a strong competitor, with Johanna and Kenny probably doing their best to get him off the show, Wes\u2019 tenure might be surprisingly short.<\/p>\n
