What is The Controller?
Six teams, $50,000 prize
We've dragged them through the mud, buried them alive, shot at them, and so much more here on The Controller. Neighbor, Leroy, Bravo, Chet, Mr. X, and Ayiiia all played well, but in the end, we're down to our final three teams. Today, we kick off the finale with our most physical physical challenge yet. The winner gets automatic placement in the finals, while the remaining two teams must duke it out in a semifinal match of Battlefield 3. And this time, the pros get to touch the controller and fight alongside their teammates. Who will rise to the top and take home the grand prize? If you're ready to find out, click the video below.

...In this week's episode of The Controller, we hire a man to sit on a balcony and shoot at our contestants. At first this was just for our own personal amusement, but then we remembered that this was still a reality show, and reality shows have rules. With that in mind, we grabbed a mannequin in a green jumpsuit and made up some rules about dragging it past barrels. Hey, we thought it was funny. After that, there's a money match in which someone uses the phrase "butt-hurt." Find out who in the video below.

...It may be raining in this week's episode of The Controller, but we're not going to let that stop us from putting our contestants through another rigorous physical challenge.

Lucky for them, it's not an elimination day, which means cold, hard cash is up for grabs. If you're not passed out from the holiday feast, check out all the excitement in the video below.

...Friday is upon us yet again ladies and gentlemen. That means it's time for another episode of The Controller. This week, we're getting down and dirty with our physical challenge. If you enjoyed watching the contestants crawl through the mud back in episode one, you're going to get a kick of out this one. The winner of this challenge will have the privilege of selecting a team to face the losing team in this episode's elimination round. That's right, last week might have been all smiles and handsome cash rewards, but now, we're back to kicking people off the show. Because of that, you might see the seeds of an unhealthy relationship take root between two of our cast members. Mud, sweat, and (possibly) tears are all in the video below.

...Is it Friday already? That means it's time for the second episode of The Controller. During last week's episode, the Green Team, composed of Bravo and Chet, had to bid an early farewell after failing our first elimination challenge. The five remaining teams can breathe a little easier this week, because this will be an elimination-free episode. Instead, they'll face off in our first money match for a chance to win some extra green. Well, almost all of them. One team will be forced to sit the match out, as selected by the winner of the physical challenge. Who will rise, who will fall, and will someone actually land a headshot? Find out in the video below.
Congratulations to this week's money match winners. Wasn't who you expected, was it? As always, you can leave us your feedback in the comments section below, or use #TheController on Twitter.

Friendships will be made, dreams will be shattered, and at least one person will get shot. It's madness right out of the gate. First up, we put our professional gamers through a grueling (and messy) obstacle course. Immediately after that, our noobs are ushered into their first hands-on session with Battlefield 3. Once the pros have had a chance to size up the noobs, teams will be formed. And then it's off to our first elimination challenge. That's right, we don't mess around on The Controller. They may have just arrived, but one team will be turning around and walking right back out again. See it all for yourself in the video below.
