Behind the Screen: Battle of the Seasons: New Orleans - Jemmye, Knight, Pr

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.

I don't see them being particularly strong competitors but I think they will be one of the more entertaining teams on this challenge...

Battle of the Seasons: New Orleans - Jemmye, Knight, Preston, McKenzie

Bacchus ·
User image Three years removed from a Real World experience laced with drama, Team New Orleans arrives in Turkey with some serious excess baggage. Knight and Jemmye may have found love in NOLA, but their relationship recently ended when Knight cheated on Jemmye with his ex-girlfriend. Even more than winning The Challenge, Knight hopes to win back Jemmye's heart and convince her he's a changed man, "She's playing hard to get, but I'm persistent." Knight will also have to set aside his differences with Preston, who is far more at home on the dance floor than the playing field. "It's not like I ever was doing sports or anything. I think for me, my personal challenge is going to be to keep my heart in it," Preston notes. Hoping to prove she's more than just her stunning good looks, McKenzie rounds out the team, explaining, "I want to show everyone that I am a little angel, but I can also be as intense as they are." Can New Orleans put their issues on the back burner for the sake of competition? Or will drama ruin their chance at victory? via MTV

Personally, I see Knight and Jemmye to be fan favorites. A lot of people have been waiting to see them back on tv. They definitely will be very entertaining.

McKenzie's also got a lot of potential, hopefully she can still channel her inner Mary.

Knight & Jemmye are good for drama but I don't seem them that useful in challenges. I think McKenzie will surprise & be the best on her team. Preston is just filler, he will most likely be worthless.

I'm all about this team. (In case my last like 4 posts weren't clear since I'm pretty sure they've all been about this team...) I do kind of wish it was Eric and not Preston so that they had a better chance, physically. And I agree with others, I think (and hope) McKenzie will surprise and be a solid competitor.
arilicious#8
I agree with people who are saying they won't be so good... Jemmye and Knight are sure to bring drama though, so that's good to me.

McKenzie was smoking HOT in the sneak peak. Good lord. Im also glad that, after THREE challenges, they are finally giving NOLA a chance.
LexBlair#10
The thing is, that this was (besides LV) the only team I was somewhat rooting for. However, I seriously spoiled it for myself by following them on twitter... The way Knight and Jemmye kiss a** is seriously disgusting....
bayday#11
Of all the seasons involved, this was my favorite! Happy BMP & MTV finally put them on a challenge, it was long overdue!
CherryPie#12
I love Jemmye and Knight's interactions.

This season had to be one of my favorite seasons. Though I know this team isn't going to be good, I hope they can prove me wrong. Felt bad for Preston on that preview. Sucks being laughed at like that during his walk.

I never saw this season so I really can't judge them on anything other than the 18-minute clip. Were there any "good athletes" on this season? Just looking at them Knight nor Preston look athletic at all. Jemmye and McKenzie may be but they definitely didn't look overpowering or anything. Wasn't there some girl that played college basketball? Regardless, I already like McKenzie (hot) while Jemmye & Knight seem like they'll be drunken disasters so there's some potential. They just seem to be the weakest team based on the clip.

I´d say Ashlee and Eric....

Well, Mckenzie was a swimmer for many years, and surfered and stuff. I also think she posted many times about staying in shape, so she maybe fine. Knight played hockey, but that is about it. Preston and Jemmye, I dont think have an athletic bone in their bodies, even though I expect at least Jemmye to have worked out some, seeing as she is one the ones who have been begging to be on a challenge.

Okay, I played hockey my entire life so maybe I'm underestimating Knight a little bit--he just doesn't seem athletic--I guess we shall find out.

I know New Orleans isn't going to be a good team but I am so happy to see Jemmye and Knight. NOLA 2 was one of the best seasons next to Las Vegas 2 in a long time in my opinion. I don't know why it took MTV so long to get them on a challenge.

I agree. Ashlee especially, but I guess BMP went with the bigger personaliltes instead.
Benfiquista#20
TeamBacktoNewOrleans? More like TeamDrama. This team will not go anywhere.
gamer73#21
This is the main team I am rooting for, along with Las Vegas.
Sloan#22
I agree with the TeamDrama comment...except if they really wanted to bring the maximum possible drama, they should've swapped Preston for that dude who liked to play with people's ears and blow-dry his entire body. Baaahaha.
Anonymous#23
I think Preston described the season and team best as a hot mess. Eric on the team would be much better than Preston and hes capable of being good TV with his humor and losing his cool with Ryan. Him and McKenzie or Sahar woulda been a tough duo to beat.
brunett#24
I'm so excited to finally see these people on a challenge. I love this cast.

I'm sure they did, but I follow Ryan on twitter and he says he's not interested in doing a challenge.

Thank God! Frank can be annoying but he has some redeeming qualities. Ryan doesn't.

Ryan is so much more interesting than Frank! He was so annoying on his season but I would love to see him on challenge. Sucks he doesn't want to do at least one.
TSPKM2#28
Ryan was annoying, but he was good TV. Imho, he is more entertaining and "real" than Frank. Eric was boring so I see why he isnt there and so was Ashlee. This team kinda got screwed with Preston and Jemmye on it. I hope McKenzie does well and comes back to future challenges.
emgrace#29
Back To Nola is the only RW season I've watched multiple times! As much as Knight and Jemmye are an absolute train wreck (that I can't look away from) apart of me is rooting for them to get back together! McKenzie looks like she's still in outer space and I'm crossing my fingers that Mary will make an appearance or two! Although Preston said he isn't sure he'll be completely invested, he sure put up a fight after falling! Team Back to Nola all the way for me!:)
Npresh24#30
I'm good on Preston, Jemmye and Knight but would love to see McKenzie come back.
ILoveRW#31
Why was it just assumed that Preston and Mckenzie were going to ones going into the elimination round over Knight and Jemmye? I never got that.
