Challenge-wise, Roylee #1, Politics has to be Bananas. Pick your poison.
It appears I need to watch Inferno, yes?
I'd say Inferno 2 > Inferno 1 but it is decent to check it out and see how much the show has changed over the years. Back then people came to the Challenge for different reasons. Even if you won the final, everyone only got like 30-40k each. It was more of a partying/vacation/keep your brand going thing. A lot of the missions don't really display athleticism or anything like that either.
Reality TV was still in it's infancy then and these people were able to make a lot more $ off the show doing appearances, etc. I think the ratings for the show were like 2-3x higher than they are now.
Dave Mirra also doesn't take it nearly as seriously as TEEJ.
Sorry been on Vacation. Things might get as little funky with power rankings going forward since half the people are going to lose a decent amount of points and half are gonna win. But we will see how it turns out.

alright spudd, time to introduce you to a top 8 CHALLENGER
ABRAM BOISE
ABE made his first appearance when road rules was still around. he was on the 2003 south pacific season. the CHALLENGES used to be real world vs road rules but obviously have evolved. there are a few STAPLES of the show (CT, bananas, WES, etc) and it's pretty fair to lump ABE in that category of old school STAPLES. guy is a vet who has had a fair amount of top CHALLENGE moments, many of which have already been poasted.
if there's anything to know about abe it's that he's legit bat **** insane. as you're aware most of the people who CHALLENGE are not very well adjusted and most register on the spectrum a little bit. you have jerkoffs like aneesa and lunatics like CT and everyone in between.
then there's abe. guy easily ranks first as most bat**** insane challenger OAT. pretty sure he is heavily medicated so he sits back sometimes but when he gets riled up he goes full PHB x infinity. CT is an uncontrollable beast but ABE belongs in a straitjacket. certifiably insane i'm quite certain.
when he's not CHALLENGING he lives in montana and writes childrens books or something of the likes. he has been on and off with cara maria for ~6 years and as she's briefly mentioned, they're still together which makes his joining all the more awesome. obv met on the CHALLENGE
some classic ABE moments
BRAD is a upper-tier player. a veteran who has a pretty decent CHALLENGE resume.
ABE on his initial road rules season
You know, I don't know the exact pronunciation but I believe its Manage A Trois. (rachel is a top 5 female competitor OAT and veronica posed in playboy. both pretty ****ing hot)
abe going full dkbro (go to 14:15 and watch a minute of it or so)
obligatory ABE cameo (~:56)
CHALLENGE history:
objectively i have him hovering around the 8 spot for all time male CHALLENGERS. maybe a spot or two higher. guy is a legend and brings some high quality entertainment value. i'm sure he has slowed down a little but i still fully expect him to come on and bring the GOODS.
So Cara gave a handjob to a guy on national television while dating a certifiable lunatic that will be appearing on the show at some point later this season. Hmm, should be good. Sadly I will be unable to CHALLENGE in real time tomorrow, but I look forward to it.
just noticed but you had everyone surviving episode 3 which is wrong. cohutta specifically. I think the points totals are also wrong for people who are missing Xs and such based on the if statements.
