<p><strong>Alton </strong>shows his true colors on the Oct. 24 episode of <em><a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/tag/the-challenge">The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons</a> </em>— and it turns out they&#8217;re not too pretty. In this clip from tonight&#8217;s episode, obtained exclusively by <strong>HollywoodLife.com</strong>, Alton reveals his plan to send his own team into the elimination challenge. Needless to say, <strong>Trishelle </strong>and <strong>Nany </strong>aren&#8217;t exactly supporting him.<span id="more-912946"></span></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Don&#8217;t count &#8216;Big Easy&#8217; out yet! Watch Eric prove his worth in this exclusive clip from tomorrow&#8217;s episode.</h3>
<p>Breaking news: <strong><a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/tag/eric-banks">Eric Banks</a> </strong>rocks. In this sneak peek clip from the Oct. 10 episode of MTV&#8217;s <a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/tag/the-challenge"><em>The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons</em></a>, obtained exclusively by <strong>HollywoodLife.com</strong>, &#8221;Big Easy&#8221; proves the &#8220;Fresh Meat&#8221; team won&#8217;t be as easy to get rid of as everybody thinks by pulling his own weight — and then some!<span id="more-894433"></span></p>
<p>In the clip, we see the teams competing in a &#8220;Rock and Basket&#8221; challenge, in which competitors throw rocks into baskets being held up by each team. Even though it looks like everybody&#8217;s ganging up on Eric&#8217;s team — I chatted with recent cast-off <a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/tag/cara-maria-sorbello"><strong>Cara Maria Sorbello</strong></a>, who predicted &#8220;Fresh Meat&#8221; would be the next to go — it looks like they may not be in such dire straits.</p>
<p>Watch our exclusive clip below, then drop a comment: Which team do YOU think will be eliminated next?</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Plus, Lacey tells HollywoodLife.com how she <em>really</em> feels about roommate-turned-teammate Wes!</h3>
<p>To say that <a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/tag/lacey-buehler"><strong>Lacey Buehler</strong></a>&#8216;s appearance on <em><a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/tag/the-challenge">The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons</a> </em>was short-lived would be an understatement. The <em><a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/tag/the-real-world">Real World Austin</a> </em>alum was eliminated on the Oct. 19 premiere, along with former housemate <strong><a href="http://www.hollywoodlife.com/tag/wes-bergmann">Wes Bergmann</a> —</strong> and she tells <strong>HollywoodLife.com </strong>she learned a valuable lesson in case she&#8217;s invited back for a second season: &#8220;I shouldn&#8217;t be on a team with Wes!&#8221;<span id="more-872609"></span></p>
<p>&#8220;No, I&#8217;m kidding,&#8221; she says. &#8220;It&#8217;s really cutthroat. You come in to have fun in the beginning, but when it comes down to it, everybody&#8217;s willing to do whatever it takes to win.&#8221;</p>
<p>Personally, I&#8217;d love to see Lacey get a second chance, if only because she appears to be one of the most quotable cast members yet. Who didn&#8217;t laugh out loud when Lacey speculated that <strong>Zach Nichols</strong> and <strong>Frank Sweeney </strong>may have &#8220;kissed penises?&#8221;<strong><br />
</strong></p>
<p>&#8220;That one snuck its way in there,&#8221; Lacey admits. &#8220;I have this problem where things just tend to come out of my mouth endlessly. I don&#8217;t mean harm to anybody, I just like to entertain myself. &#8230; I guess I&#8217;m good for some ridiculous soundbites.&#8221;</p>
<p>But regardless of whether or not penises were kissed — and there&#8217;s still <em>plenty </em>of time left in the season for that — Lacey says she&#8217;s &#8220;proud of Zach&#8221; for expanding his horizons.</p>
<p>&#8220;From what I hear, he used to be pretty uptight about the homosexual side of things, and it looks like he&#8217;s much more open now,&#8221; she explains. &#8220;I like that he went from being upset about [guys] kissing to wearing a pink speedo and rubbing it all over Frank. It&#8217;s called growing, right?&#8221;</p>
<p>As for the remaining members of Team Austin, ex-spouses <strong>Danny Jamieson </strong>and <strong>Melinda Stolp</strong>, Lacey suggests they both watch their backs.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think they&#8217;re going to be a target,&#8221; she says. &#8220;There&#8217;s only two of them. And what a success story for the rookies to send home Team Austin right away! Danny and Melinda can work together, but I think it&#8217;s twice as intimidating to be working with your ex <em>and </em>be shorthanded two people.&#8221;</p>
<p>But don&#8217;t worry about Lacey keeping busy between now and her potential second season. She&#8217;s a business woman, and she&#8217;s got big plans.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m opening another hair salon. I&#8217;ve had one for six years, and we&#8217;re moving locations. &#8220;We&#8217;re moving in with a spa,&#8221; she explains, &#8220;so it&#8217;s going to be 6,000 square feet of awesomeness.&#8221;</p>
<p>Sounds good to me!</p>
<p><em>What&#8217;s your take on </em>Battle of the Seasons<em>? Should Lacey be asked back? Are you surprised Wes is already out? And do you think Danny &amp; Melinda will be the next two to go? <a href="http://hollywoodlife.com/2012/09/24/challenge-lacey-buehler-interview-battle-of-the-seasons-wes-bergmann/#comments">Drop me a comment</a> with your thoughts &amp; predictions!</em></p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>You know Kenny, super competitor on MTV&#8217;s &#8216;The Challenge,&#8217; or what some of you may more recognize as its original name &#8216;Real World/Road Rules Challenge.&#8217; But we know some juicy stuff you might not!</h3>
<p><strong>Kenny Santucci </strong>entered the MTV reality realm as a piece of  &#8221;fresh meat&#8221; on the 12th season of  <em>Real World/Road Rules Challenge</em>, where he was partnered up with an alumnus of <em>Road Rules</em>. He is also the host of <em>Jersey Shore: Hook-Up</em>, a series released on MTV.com after certain episodes. <span id="more-422748"></span><strong>HollywoodLife.com</strong> talked to Kenny to find out what MTV fans don&#8217;t already know. He&#8217;s a pretty confident guy with a sense of humor and a sensitive side &#8212; sounds like a winner, right? Here&#8217;s what every Kenny fan should know.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>He&#8217;s a superhero fanatic</strong>:<strong> &#8220;</strong>I’m Batman’s biggest fan… I’m obsessed with Batman and have a huge collection of Batman figurines.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>He wasn&#8217;t always drool-worthy</strong>: &#8220;Even though I compete in all kinds of grueling athletic challenges on MTV’s <em>Rivals</em>, I was the chubby kid growing up. I definitely had some baby fat to shed before I became &#8216;Mr. Beautiful.&#8217;&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>He&#8217;s a daredevil with a secret</strong>: &#8220;I’ve jumped out of planes and scaled mountains on MTV’s The Challenge, but I&#8217;m secretly afraid of heights.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>Don&#8217;t get near him if he has a BB gun in hand</strong>: &#8220;When I was younger, I almost shot my eye out with a Red Rider BB Gun.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>He&#8217;s sweet and every girl&#8217;s dream</strong>:<strong> </strong>&#8220;I love cuddling;  I’m not embarrassed to say that I’m a phenomenal cuddler.&#8221;</li>
<li><strong>He&#8217;s artistic</strong>: &#8220;My secret talent is doing caricature drawings &#8212; so if you’re ever looking for a cartoonist, I’m your guy.&#8221;</li>
</ol>
