Gauntlet, The

Director Vince Vouyer has launched his brand-new company, Vouyer Media, with a brand-new idea for gonzo fans. The Gauntlet brings us three barely-legal new babes and then challenges them to go from room to room in a large house and face whatever sexual challenges might be waiting for them. Is it all pre-planned? Probably. But that doesn't mean it's not fun to watch.

The first girl to take on "The Gauntlet" is blonde newcomer Maya Hills, who strikes a seductive pose on the box cover for this release. Maya is only 18-years-old and has only appeared in a few other adult scenes prior to her filming The Gauntlet. First up for Maya is a POV scene where she sucks a faceless guy and also gets standing doggy and missionary from him. After taking a pop-shot in her mouth, she moves to the next room where she joins Jenni Morrison for a foursome with Jon Dough and Tee Reel. While Maya doesn't get any anal in the scene, Jenni does. Maya takes both of the guys' cumshots in her mouth and swallows them down. Finally, it's a blow-bang segment for Maya with three guys (one of whom is Black, and one of whom is veteran Kyle Stone) where she sucks all of them off and swallows each load individually.

Given Maya's newcomer status and impressive looks, I would have thought going into The Gauntlet that I would come away from it with her being my favorite of the performers. Well, I would have been wrong. The second segment features short-haired brunette Nollie, and she's absolutely everything I look for in an adult star: young, sexy, smart and ready to please the home viewer with her performance. Although she hasn't picked the most memorable stage name for herself (it's not too late to change!), this girl has the potential to go a long way in porn, if she so chooses. Just remember you heard about her here first! Nollie joins dark-haired Ivanna and Brad Baldwin for a blowjob sequence during with Ivanna takes Brad's load in the mouth and then cumswaps it with Nollie, who swallows. Then Nollie takes Ivanna by the hand and leads her into another room where Kyle Stone and Steve French are waiting for them. The girls take turns with both guys (Ivanna gets anal, Nollie does not), and the scene ends like the previous one, with the guys taking turns cumming in Ivanna's mouth, who then swaps the cum with Nollie. Leaving Ivanna behind, Nollie then goes into another room for a blow-bang with Arnold Schwarzenpecker and another male; and after she's done swallowing their loads we get to see her in a brief POV scene where she takes an internal pop-shot inside her pussy.

The last girl in The Gauntlet is blonde 20-year-old Chelsea Rae, who is by far the "nastiest" of the three women presented on this DVD. She begins by giving director Vince Vouyer some POV fun (Chelsea claims to have never swallowed cum before and you just know that Vince wanted to be her first!) that includes just a few seconds of reverse cowgirl anal before he pops in her mouth. Then it's on to a POV threesome that begins with Erik Everhard, who is soon joined by pal Jon Dough. Jon is the only one to cum in this segment (another oral shot), but that's only because that Erik is also in the next segment with Steven French, as the guys pound Chelsea anally and even double penetrate her. Finally, it's a blow-bang scene with four black guys, with Chelsea swallowing each and every one of their loads.

Even though The Gauntlet is Vouyer Media's first-ever DVD release, Vince has done a nice job with the bonus material, starting with a 14-minute bonus scene with 23-year-old brunette Roxy Deville where she blow-bangs four guys until they leave a creamy mess on her face. There's also a 5-minute blowjob scene where popular "alt" girl Joanna Angel sucks off Vince...twice. Additionally we get a minute of deleted footage that took place between Maya Hills and Tee Reel. The DVD also includes an additional 21-mintues of deleted and behind the scenes footage from the shoot (including Vince's reaction to the retirement of Wicked Girl Keri Sable!); a slide show; and website info for Vouyer Media.

If there's any downside to The Gauntlet it will be for those fans who are watching the movie on a widescreen TV. Although Vince has shot the movie using HD cameras, he has chosen not to anamorphically enhance the disc - so if you are watching on a widescreen TV, you'll need to manually zoom in on the picture for it to fill up your screen. Those with standard TVs will see the movie in the letterbox format, with black bars at the top and bottom of your screen. For the record, the audio is presented in 2.0 Dolby.

As long as Vince can continue to find fresh, cute young talent that is willing to do the kinds of things the girls in the first volume of The Gauntlet are willing to do, this could be a series with some long legs indeed. And I'm not just talking about Maya Hills!

Vince Vouyer is all set to launch his new company and he's going to set the tone from the start. He's got a nice collection of new girls and is going to run them through a series of tests. The idea reminds me a little bit of what Vince did years ago with the Initiations movies. There are three main girls in the movie with some extra chicks along to make the action interesting. Maya Hills is the cover girl and one of the three girls assigned to the gauntlet. I've seen her in a couple of other hot flicks and I always enjoy her. I'm not familiar with the other two girls, but before this movie is done I think we will all know who they are and what they can do.

Maya Hills is the eighteen-year-old cover girl for this movie. I hear she has already quit the business and that's a huge loss. This little cutie is an exotic Russian/Eskimo mix. The concept of the movie is that the female stars don't know what is waiting for them behind each door. It's a pretty easy challenge ahead of her. It's a simple POV scene. Maya is perfect for this kind of action because she has such a cute little face and seems to have fun on her knees. The guy bends her over and fucks her from behind. We get some really nice shots of her ass as his cock vanishes into her pretty hole. Rolling over she shows off even more of her body and continues to take everything he's got with ease. They finish off with a facial and she is sent on to the next phase of her challenge.

In the next room Maya finds a blonde sucking off Tee Reel while Jon Dough has no one to play with. She quickly corrects that and the foursome gets busy. The guys take turns fucking the girls from behind, tagging out for a switch in mid-stream. The action here is solid, but having Maya split time with the other girl isn't the best idea in the world. She is supposed to be the one running the gauntlet and she's a lot hotter than her co-star. It is especially distracting when the leggy blonde takes it up the ass while Maya is still working on the vag action. Even with the distractions, Maya manages to shine and takes both loads right in her mouth. What's next?

Three guys at once is a challenge for any girl and it's Maya's final turn in the gauntlet. She drops right to her knees and starts working her pretty face around the small circle of cock. Given the chance to shine, she takes control and delivers one hell of a fine group suck. This may be the best action of the movie so far. Her face is just begging for a big blast and Maya gets three. Bravo.

Nollie is the next girl to give the gauntlet a try. She's an eighteen-year-old girl who is ready to be a little nasty. The interview is pretty good, but to be honest, I am falling in love with her girl next door face, so what she says matters less than how great she looks. Her scene starts out with some cock sucking as another girl goes down on her sweet young hole. When another guy joins the fun it becomes a four way. Like the last time around, this one features some great side by side doggy. This time through, both girls are equally hot and the action is great. I think that the four-way action may be a mistake because Nollie just doesn't get a chance to shine by herself in this small group. I like what she has to offer, but the other girl is a real hottie as well. The brunette girl takes it in the ass really well and opens her mouth for the cumshots. Not wanting to hog the jizz, she shares it with Nollie in a double cum-swap finish to round one. Still hungry, she goes into the next room and gives two quick blowjobs and takes an internal cumshot. This was a good scene, but we need more from Nollie without any other girls to distract us.

Chelsea Rae is the final girl to try the gauntlet. She is a pretty blonde with thick thighs and a great smile. Vince talks to her for a bit and then has her roll over to show off her big round ass. She starts rubbing her clit as Vince strokes his cock. Chelsea has a really pretty face and that helps the action quite a bit. She's also a pretty good cock sucker. Moving into the next room, she continues the POV action with Erik Everhard. He slips his cock into her from behind and she pushes back to take everything he's got. The POV train continues with another guy who shoots a load on her face.

Everhard is waiting in the next room to help double team young Chelsea. They go right to the anal, stretching her little butthole. With anal out of the way, the guys double up on her holes and pound away. She takes it really well and reminds me a lot of Lauren Phoenix. The body is there, the booty is there and the sexual energy is pretty damn high. Erik finishes her off with a big anal creampie and sends Chelsea on to the next challenge. The final round comes with Chelsea taking on four black cocks. During her interview, she said that she liked black dick and Chelsea certainly seems to live up to that claim here. The action gets a little bit rough, but mostly she just sucks like she can't possibly get enough hard cock and hot cum. We might be looking at a superstar in the making.

This is a very interesting movie with a nice twist on the usual gonzo action. We get plenty of that of course, but Vince does his best to mix things up a bit. I found the four-way fucks to be a bit distracting. They have good sex, but take away from the stars just a bit. Maya comes out as the cutest of the girls in the movie and if she has really retired then it is really a sad day for those of us who were starting to really dig this girl. Chelsea is probably going to make the biggest splash in the long run. She has a body that reminds me of Lauren Phoenix and a great attitude. Nollie isn't too far behind though. I love her fresh look and sweet body. This is a series that shows a good deal of promise and will help make Vouyer Media one of the year's hottest new companies.
