Katie has a column on insidepulse.com where she also talks about the show.

Got to say I enjoyed seeing Beth win again. What I'm not enjoying is seeing Cara turn into whatever she's turning into. She was so cute during her initial season. She's still attractive now, but a little bit tacky around the edges IMO...

And I have started referring to him as "Altomaton."

Anybody catch this on Mon?
I thought it was a stupid gauntlet game pick by Derek, but it seems he knew what he was doing, being able to get lower etc.
I'm enjoying watching the veterans stink at every challenge for some reason.

Yea, I can't believe Derrick picked that challenge. It seemed like he was so dejected from losing that he just wanted to go home. What was even more unbelievable was that he won.

His fall off that rope bronco thing looked a tad fake to me, though.
I realized last night that with 4 wins in a row, Alton wins the $1k prize as team captain. With the first win, that means he already has $5k in prize money!

Also, wasn't this week for the GPS? so that means he's won 2k and a gps.
i really need to get some help.

The reason why Derrick picked the wrestling gauntlet was because he was a wrestler in high school and/or college.
I don't know if anyone of you saw that Road Rules series that featured Derrick, Jodi, Ibiz, Kina, and Danny (that pipsqueek guy who got eliminated by Alton in the Gauntlet early in the show) he mentioned that he used to wrestle. And he challenged that other guy who was on the show (not Danny, some other guy) to wrestle because the other guy used to be on the wrestling team, as well. Anyway, Derrick was slightly overpowered.
It was obvious to me he chose the beach brawl thing because that's the only thing he knew for sure he was good at. He should've picked the rope climb on the net, but Derrick can be a knucklehead sometimes and not think things through.
He got lucky because whereas Cyrus was almost twice his size, Derrick had some wrestling fundamentals and considerable arm strenght to outmatch Cyrus.
With that said -- and all the knucklehead comments aside -- I've been impressed with Derrick so far.

I did enjoy watching that
Montana should have been more friendly with Beth, that's probably who she has the most in common with...
