The gauntlet

One of my favorite shows on tv is MTV's The Gauntlet. This show is about reality tv people that come together to compete in a string of activites. There are two teams that compete and it is always very competitive. The show points out the leadership qualities and people that are able to do each of the events. It is a mix between physical and mental tasks. The way the show is set up one can belive that it was compared to the military and the way they work. Th military always livs in one area, the barracks and so do the people on the gauntlet. Another similarity is that the tasks that are to be completed are both mentally and physically taxing, not exactly what the military goes through in war but the idea is being put across. The last major smilarity that I see is the leadership that is shown int he people through time. This is compared to the leadership in the military. Also, the constant commercials for the marines makes the comparison a little easier.
