0 America's next great sport... The Challenge

There is some reality television that is entertaining in a oh look at that crazy person, who thinks she is allergic to electromagnetic waves living in a cave of France, I'll watch for a little bit way, and then there is the Challenge on MTV. For the uninitiated, the Challenge is a competition pitting former cast members of Real World seasons against each other in random and often ridiculous events (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Challenge_(TV_series). Now you might be thinking, oh what's the big deal just your standard reality TV nonsense but the Challenge takes it to a different level.  Since I really enjoy lists here are just some of the many reasons why:

1. Drunken fights."What else do you have to say? You have fake boobs. You are anorexic. You can't get a f*cking husband.  You don't have kids.  You are ugly. Shut the f*ck up!"  

2. T.J. Lavin. The best host on television aka "You killed it."

3. CT.

4. Ridiculous events.  Last weeks episode involved pulling teammates in a cart while wearing a horse mask, catching eggs with a cone around your head and hitting the other team with a huge fish.  It doesn't get much better than that.

With my love of the Challenge, I'm going to be posting recaps of every episode. However, the Challenge the past week was interrupted by the Friday the 13th remake for Halloween, which means you will have to patiently wait one more week for debut of "America's 4th Sport." Sorry hockey fans, it's over. Too many lost games. The Challenge and T.J. are gunning for you.
