Ibis appears on Overdrive to talk about the Gauntlet 2

Overdrive Episode Summary
Ibis (Extreme) | Monday March 13, 2006

The Interview

Ibis revealed her and Kina (Extreme) had an alliance before the game started. They are friends and agreed to vote everyone else off. It all went well until Cara (South Pacific) left and Ibis began to suck at missions. She said having Cara made her look better. She admitted Susie (Australia) was a good competitor and voting her off wasn't an option. Blair compliments her on her ability not to
care what people think and not be fake around cameras.

Role Playing

Blair pretended to be Jodi (Extreme) and Ibis was herself. It went something like this:

Blair/Jodi:(crying) "Ibis, I'm trying real hard and I don't understand, all i want to do is make friends, but everyone thinks I am a slut."
Ibis: "Let's face it when you're hookin up with one guy the first day and sleeping with another the next day its not gonna work out very nice for you. Theres a camera two feet away from you taping every lick and suck! I don't know, I don't know what to tell you man."

Now Blair as Jillian (Extreme)

Blair/Jillian: "I've just graduated middle school and I'm doing my first challenge. I don't understand why everyone's hating me. I knew about the alliance and told everyone about it. Maybe I was misinformed and maybe gave the wrong information, but I don't understand why people hate me."
Ibis: "First of all, f*ck you first of all! What were you thinking playing the devil and God at the same time, trying to be the middle person. Mind you, me, who never liked you, talking sh*t to Kina behind your back trying to help you out hok you up with ideas and ways to handle the situation and you f*ck me? You screw me? I will kill you what are you doing? Psycho!"

Something obviously went on with those two that we didn't see. Ibis was genuinely angry and admitted she couldn't let "it" go.

Beat Blair Challenge: Blind Taste Test

Blindfolded, Ibis and Blair feed each other food and guess what it is.

Ibis correctly guessed a grape, a brownie, a chocolate chip cookie, chocolate, and a pretzel.
Blair guessed onion, tofu (which he first guessed as a car tire) ,a lemon, and a sardine (he gagged a lot after eating this. He got the hot pepper wrong.

Wheel of Truth

Me Likey:
Ibis revealed she thinks her best physical feature is her eyes (Blair agreed).

Me No Likey:
She said her worst quality is thinking she knows everything. Her bigggest fear is frogs because she was "attacked" by them when shewas young. She peed in her bed because she couldn't walk on the floor for fear frogs woul eat her feet.

Ask Blair
She asked him how many serious girlfriends he has had. He never actually answered, only revealing he likes videogames and comics. Therefore, women don't like him.

The S*#t You Didn't See
Ibis complaining about her bad room with from an infested balcony. Robin (San Diego) pretending like she peed in Katie's (The Quest) bed, (references to Tonya (Chicago) and pillow Shi*t*ng were made), Derrick (Extreme) eating random stuff when wasted, and everyone playing around in the pool.

Wes and Johanna are selling shirts that they wear on the Challenges

Wes (Austin) and Johanna (Austin) have collectively opened a website where they sell custom made t-shirts. Check it out here. The two will be on the new Challenge airing in a few months.

Kina will face Jillian in the upcoming episode of the Gauntlet sparing Susie

Monday marks yet another new episode of the Gauntlet II. Again, the following are spoilers for the episode. If you want to figure out what happens in this and future episodes, highlight the following text:

The girls cope with the pressure as no one wants to go home in this final female Gauntlet. While Aneesa (Chicago) now heads up the Veterans, they fear that the guys on their team will try to throw the challenge in order for one of the girls to be sent home. Kina (Extreme), on the other hand, really feels the pressure of being the captain this time around. The Veterans pull off a win this time... And Kina is forced to make a decision between Susie (Australia) and the remaining Rookie girls who all were on her season. Because of a mistake she made on the Challenge, Kina chooses Jillian (Extreme) to go to the Gauntlet. While Kina does fret about her decision, she ends up winning and continuing on to the final mission. With one Gauntlet left, who will stay and who will go?

Brad explains the loss against Derrick in the latest Overdrive

Overdrive Episode Summary
Brad (San Diego) | Monday March 6, 2006

The Interview

Brad is branded an "almost winner", having come so close to winning in the challenges he's been in so far. Brad says that everyone has alliances before the challenges begin, so you're basically screwed if you're not in one. Brad talks about his strategy, which was having a good time in the beginning then basically getting down to business toward the end. About the Susie (Australia)/Cara (South Pacific)/Brad alliance: He calls it a misunderstanding, but looking out for each other in the situation. Basically, he was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He and Cara had a falling out about it, while he and Susie are "neutral". Rockstar Racing Inc. is Brad's new thing he has going. Check that out on his Myspace webpage.

Wheel of Truth - Me No Likey

What are your 3 biggest pet peeves? Brad says honesty, then Blair says, "What, you don't like honesty?", then Brad asks what it means, & Blair informs him its something you DON'T like, & Brad says he's been misusing the word for years. People that are dishonest, being late, & people that aren't clean.

What's your biggest fear? Being 30 & still trying to figure out what you're going to do, or being 45 doing the same thing.

What would your best friend say is the most annoying thing about Brad? For sure it's the mouth.

Wheel of Truth - Me Likey

What's your guilty pleasure? Riding bikes.

The Shit You Didn't See

The Veteran's team making fun of the clue's that come up on the Sidekick, Brad thinks it's so funny he spews drink out of his mouth. Mark (USA Tour 1) passes out in the bathroom in a puddle of urine. He doesn't want to be helped up, but continues to lay there in it and has someone shut the door. Kina (Extreme) wants to see what she looks like on camera. Then everyone else starts belching in front of the camera. Everyone acting goofy on the "green" backgrounds

Thanks to Amber for the recap!

Mike is moving to the big leagues with WWE Smackdown

It's happened. Mike (Back to New York), now better known as The Miz has finally made it in the big leagues. The Miz will officially begin appearing on WWE's Friday Night Smackdown, which airs every Friday on UPN. While he'll make his debut this Friday, word is that Mike will begin developing his storyline soon. If you remember, Mike was the runner-up in the last season of Tough Enough and he was constantly referred to as a reality show veteran, so probably expect some mention of his past appearances on Real World. Congrats to Mike!

Overdrive with happen with Brad later this week

We're still looking for someone to review this week's episode of Overdrive. While there's plenty of people who have Overdrive (who may see this as a nuisance), there's a large group of people who appreciate the Overdrive summaries. So, last call for this week's Overdrive episode with Brad (San Diego).

Dan is an editor at the online magazine Queerty

Congratulations go out to Dan (Miami). He is the new editor at Queerty.com.

Derrick beat Brad in the Gauntlet, pulling an upset

In one of the most stunning upsets in the whole season, Derrick (Extreme) beat Brad (San Diego) in the Gauntlet. While our notes had Brad making the finals and Derrick bowing out right before the end, Derrick pulled off an upset last night. While we're fairly certain of who will end up bowing out, we apologize and are shocked by the turn of events.

Another Gauntlet episode airs tonight, keep watching your screens

Slow news day today: Just remember, tonight's another Gauntlet episode. The second to last Male Gauntlet Day. While we took a week off with the Overdrive recaps, remember that we are still taking them. Many of you appreciate them, since low-speed connections and Mac users cannot access Overdrive.
