Behind the Screen: Battle of the Seasons: Cancun - CJ, Derek, Jonna, Jasmi

For over two decades, MTV's The Challenge has been the proving ground where reality TV's fiercest competitors come to cement their legacies. What started as a Real World/Road Rules spinoff has evolved into one of the most physically and mentally demanding competition series on television.

The franchise's expansion — with spinoffs in the USA, UK, Argentina, and Australia — speaks to a global appetite for the brand of cutthroat competition and alliance-driven gameplay that Vevmo's community has been tracking since 2007.

Me too! It feels pretentious for some reason. Perhaps because he isn't humorous or charismatic, or hasn't done anything (challenge/real world wise) to make me like him. He does have a big smile though!

I still don't think Jonna gets enough credit. She was very right that they should have sent in Vegas instead of Brooklyn. She definitely has the potential to grow into someone that controls the political aspect of the game if we get back to more team based challenges Jasmine's growing on me--she used to just be a crazy girl that caused drama but I really like her this season Derek's basically nonexistent--hard to judge him CJ's okay--I liked him better on Fresh Meat II but he's not as good of a competitor as I had expected.

CJ and Derek are pretty boring IMO. Jonna might be cool, but I just can't get past her stupid socks and tutus and stuff...I don't know why, but it annoys me to the extreme. Like she's trying sooo hard. ETA about Jonna: Just went to her Twitter b/c I was curious if she responded to Dani V's Afterbuzz shenanigans...one of the things Dani V said was that she has way more followers than Jonna, and Jonna responded with a tweet that says "100K followers > 23K followers yes. 36,000 tweets < 1500 tweets. don't even have twitter on my phone, social networks aren't my thing, sorry". That's funny seeing as she puts out multiple tweets a day...she tweeted 10 times yesterday! You run to your computer for all those tweets Jonna, since you "don't have twitter on your phone"? Social networks aren't your thing but you tweet that much? Whatever, give me a break. Not saying it's uncool or whatever to be all over twitter, but don't try to lie about it. Gets on my nerves!

I'm still rooting for this Team. But I do wish that Bronne was on this team though.

I think Jonna's very much like Coral in the fact people seem to either love her or hate her. There's very few people in the middle with her. The main reason I like her (other than the fact I think she's hot) is because she's actually there to play the game. She seems to always be plotting and understands when is the best time to make moves. She was absolutely right that SD2 should have sent in Vegas last week not because it would have been best for their alliance of for SD2 but because it would have been best for Cancun

I agree with you about Jonna. I haven't decided if I like her or not yet, but she definitely has what it takes to do well in these challenges. She's smart, she plays the social and political game well, and she can hold her own physically/athletically. Her choice in men, however, is questionable. :)

CJ is a good competitor but his team sucks so much. Jasmine: lmao Derek: LMAO Jonna: her skinnyself doesn't really bring forth much to the table other than having connections with Zach.

This really doesn't make any sense.

Jonna is pretty swift. If she was fat, she would be a female Big Easy.

I thnk that would be the case for any big girl
wutzrenzi#44
I think they complement each other *shrug* The other three seem to be holding their weight so far and doing their part no matter what kind of challenge it is.

So far. They work decent as a team. I mean I don't think anyone would consider Jasmine or Derek 'real' competitors lol in my opinion they are in the same level as Preston.
Fresh Meat#46
Love this team, except for Derek. I can totally see Jonna and CJ being main people for the next few seasons of the show and I think Jasmine's kinda slept on as a competitor. She's solid and has a lot of heart, she's by no means a top player in the game, but she's no Preston. I do fear that SD will possibly take them out (based on the mid-season trailer where it shows Zach/CJ in a Physical Arena).

I hope they don't get eliminated. I want to see them make it to the end and win!

The green **** looked more like Derek because he was shorter and had black hair? But I could be wrong. I love it when people don't go on and read spoilers, that way we get more into the show.

I've actually just read the spoilers, either way I still like Cancun and hope for them to continue to impress me.

Thanks for stating spoilers in a "non-spoiler" thread. Seriously, mods ?

They're just guesses, dude. Nothing is confirmed, really..

Actually it shows it really clearly during the "This season on..." preview.
kvm1977#56
Nothing stated was a spoiler--everything said was shown on the "preview" of the rest of the season.
Leafie#57
I try to avoid watching the previews since they do contain spoilers. It's actually really annoying how much they give away.

Hahah, I know. I was so pissed when I saw that clip with CJ and Zach in the previews
Fresh Meat#59
I certainly hope to see CJ, Jasmine, and Jonna in future challenges. Jasmine brings the laughs and drama, while CJ/Jonna are solid competitors. I can honestly see them both (CJ and Jonna) becoming top players in future games as well.

Take out CJ and Jonna and I'd agree. CJ just bores the hell out of me and Jonna well, I don't care.
