Recap: Road Rules: Different Game, More Fresh Meat - 
by J-Unit
Road Rules: Viewer's Revenge premieres tomorrow, Tuesday, January 30th at 9 PM EST, but MTV has been airing a casting special all week, so let's take a look at what we've got.
Road Rules has always been about competition, although that usually meant that the people in the RV would be competing for a cash prize at the end of the show. After Survivor became so popular, every reality show had to have some sort of contestant elimination, and Road Rules followed suit, with the cast members voting somebody out if the group failed a certain number of missions.
Viewers Revenge adds another twist on the competition. Although the game starts with six Road Rules alums (Abram, Veronica, Shane, Adam, Kina, Susie), the people in the RV will nominate one guy and one girl each week for elimination. The viewers will then vote on their competitors among the "Pit Crew", which will initially be filled with contestants as of yet untainted by reality TV. One person from the RV will compete with one person from the Pit Crew. The person who wins gets to go into the RV and the loser gets placed back into the pit crew.
It's sort of confusing at first, but if there was anything missing from The Challenge it was the ability for us to choose the competitors. Since the people in the RV have no idea who the viewers are going to choose for them to compete against, they might actually have to use some strategy, because you may never get a chance to get back to the RV once you are in the pit crew. Since most of the competitors depend on their appearances on shows like this for the bulk of their income, it should make for some great fights. Then again, if the viewers keep sending the same people into the elimination, it might just suck balls. But I think for the most part the viewers are going to want to see the new faces in action in the competitions, with the exception of Abram and Veronica. Clearly they are crazy enough that we all should want these two competing as much as possible.
