Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Battle of the Exes - Camila Nakagawa

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.

Yeah I remember Kenny saying he left because of a girl but if he said he wanted to go home because of a girlfriend then they would probably show it like that, another dude on that challenge also quit and he said it was because he missed his girlfriend and thats what they showed, now it seems like there has to be an alternate story for everything. And I didnt know doing drugs on set was not allowed, mainly because drug laws are different in other countries, maybe it would get the producers in trouble I guess.

Even if they are in a foreign country that allows the said drugs? Say they were filming in the Netherlands, where it's not a crime to smoke pot, would Bunim/Murray production intervene if they didn't allow it? Am I going off topic?

The point is, they were not in a foreign country that allows said drugs. The Dominican Republic has drug laws similar to those in the United States. Hypotheticals are off-topic.

There was such a double standard this season on Exes. They sent home Dustin for a busted knee. Aneesa busted her lip and Rachel was allowed to do the questions for her. Why couldnt Heather do them for Dustin? BM/MTV let Camila stay after she destroyed PRIVATE PROPERTY and THREATENED Johnny's life. Why was she allowed to stay? Jasmine threw a GLASS bottle at Johnny and was allowed to stay as well???? Dunbar was going to be FINED for staying in his bed ??? Abram distanced his self from the group too- was he threatened to be fined?

It is all about trying to make money. Camila destroying private property and threatening Johnny is good TV which will help ratings and help them make money. Jasmine throwing a glass bottle at Johnny is great for TV also. Johnny isn't going to complain and sue BMP/MTV because this is how he makes a living. Dunbar laying in bed all day isn't going to help them make money so they threaten to fine him so he has the possibility of doing something to drive ratings up. At the time of Aneesa's injury they were unaware of how bad it was so Rachel was allowed to answer questions without knowledge as to whether or not they would be forced to go home. Dustin's injury was known and from what cast members have said that water could have caused an infection to his cut, which opens them up for a lawsuit if it happens.

Oh ok, ya I know drugs are illegal in north America but I think they're not in some of Europe, I dont know about the laws in the Dominican Republic, so they're illegal there too then. I think they allow pot though, and I know thats illegal in Canada and Luke was open about his pot use on FM2, dont know if he was actually smoking while filiming but he sure acted like it. As for the double standard thing I agree, but Cara Maria said they couldnt get rid of anymore teams, so that could be why, there were already down 1 team from the start, if they really did send home everyone they would have gotten rid of 6 teams Jasmine, Vinny, Camila, Dustin and maybe Aneesa and possibly CT (some people were saying they thought he was going to get kicked off for sure for the fighting incident) and that would screw everything up.

Wanna know the quick answer? It's because she was Johnny's partner.

What fight are you refering to? The $12.5 watch (*chuckle*) fight withTy? or Diem? or something else? (I love CT but why did he need to tell everyone how much his watch costs. LOL)

There are rumours that he had Mandi, Anessa, Rachel and one other girl crying the first night. Supposedly he had a fight with Diem that ended up being a massive crying session in the house. Cara Maria has commented that he almost got sent home because of it, and that the fight was so awful, none of it would ever make tv
cheech#42
What in the world could he have said to make so many cry???

Yea the fight that the person above is talking about, Wes/Cara/Leroy were talking about it at the beginning of the season and ppl on here were too, ya I have no idea what he could have said. And the 12.5$ watch? that started a fight? I dont remember that lol and whats wrong with cheap watches?? haha
cheech#44
I believe The fight is on the s#!t they didn't show. CT was bragging to Ty that his watch cost $12,500.

Because Ty was making fun of how CT spoke (SHAAAA UPPPP) and asked him, "How many jobs do you get talking like that?" And that's when CT started saying how his watch cost 12.5k, implying that he makes a substantial amount of cash.

Why didnt they send her and Johnny home?

Happy to hear she's doing something productive with her money. And the comment "I don't just want to be Camilla from MTV" is interesting. Indicates she won't be a lifer.

That was a good picture of her. Too bad she was looking a little to upward and away though or it would have been the perfect shot.

I think she also is thinking, "I don't just want to be another one on Johnny's 'Women I've slept with' list."
