Cast

^Note 1 : At time of filming.

Memorable moments

After developing a huge crush on Chadwick, Piggy makes a fool of herself and begins a love/hate relationship with him.

The cast have to get their Australian drivers license to drive the RV. While Christina and Susie opt not to take the test because they can't drive stick, Piggy is the only cast member to fail the test, which causes her to break down.

The cast is visited by Season 2's Christian and Timmy. Susie, a longtime fan of the show, is enamored with Timmy.

Kefla has trouble in a firefighting mission because he got burned when he was little.

The cast has to handle dangerous snakes, which causes most of them to freak out.

The cast visits a crocodile farm as one of their missions. They have to wrangle several crocodiles and check their gender status.

One of the major themes of the season was the downward spiral of Susie, an 18-year-old high school graduate, who proclaimed to be innocent, naive, and young. By the series end, Christina and Piggy teased her for several delinquent acts that she committed including dropping the f-bomb, stealing shoes from a bowling alley, and watching porn in a hotel room.

After seeing that Chadwick is good at everything, Piggy sarcastically asks him to do a back-flip. To her astonishment, he does one.

Trivia

Susie and Timmy were engaged for a short while. The two are both from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and both worked the comedy circuit for a short while. The two broke off their engagement and even though they both appeared on The Gauntlet 2 and The Inferno 3 together, the only mention that was ever made of their engagement on the show was in the Gauntlet II Pre-show when Katie Doyle mentioned it.

Shayne is a Canadian citizen and lived in Canada for the majority of his life. Although he was a fan favorite and stated that he would potentially be interested in doing Challenges, he's never been asked to do one.

Christina was later seen auditioning for season six of the NBC show, "Last Comic Standing," in summer 2008. She auditioned in Tempe, AZ, but did not get a ticket to the semi-finals. She appeared again on the show's 2010 audition in Los Angeles, but once again did not advance to the semi-finals. Christina was a writer and round table panelist for E! entertainment's late night talk show, Chelsea Lately. She now tours as a stand-up comedian, making regular appearances on the Joe Rogan Experience with her husband, comedian Tom Segura
