Syrus and Beth S were known more for their unforgettable personalities than their dominant game play during the early "Challenge" days, but the odd couple managed to form a special alliance within the confines of the cutthroat environment. And after all these years, the vets are still friendly off the battlefield. Be still, my early 2000s MTV-loving heart...

The "Real World: Boston" ladies' man and the notorious "Real World: Los Angeles" pot-stirrer -- who first appeared together on "Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Battle of the Sexes" in 2002 and subsequently on the same veterans team during "Gauntlet 2" in 2005 -- reunited in the City of Angels this week to discuss who they should send into the next elimination round. Actually, not exactly...

"Beth from Real World LA stopped by 8Degrees on Melrose in Hollywood to say hello! Looking good girl," S captioned the Instagram snapshot above with the mother of two. Certainly beats getting all of your clean clothes and Louis Vuitton handbag tossed in the pool (Beth) or arguing with the host (TJ Lavin) during a contentious mission (Syrus). OH GOOD TIMES.
