Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons - Reunion (SPOILER

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.

Other than being deported for a war or a major illness, I honestly can't think of a great excuse that anyone can come up with to get out of that contract. Kids: Hire a babysitter or pack the kids up a...

Other than being deported for a war or a major illness, I honestly can't think of a great excuse that anyone can come up with to get out of that contract. Kids: Hire a babysitter or pack the kids up and drag them along. Work: Take a vacation/sick day, explain to your boss the situation- most people are understanding, especially because your boss should have been notified months in advance that this situation may arise. School: Once again you get your schedule at the beginning of a semester. So they knew from September that they had to speak to a professor, program director, etc to rearrange a missed exam or lab. Jail Sentence: Um yeah... that probably is a good excuse.

Just to add Jonna has posted on twitter a few hours ago that she is packing to head to NY. So I guess she is part of the reunion.... no big surprise there when 1/4 of the stories this season have centered around her.

I don't think I've ever had a professor that would happily work their schedule around my filming schedule for an MTV reality show. It would be funny to see some of their faces if I asked though.

Alton did say he was going to the reunion.
WESANDNANYFAN#70
Nany and Jasmine will be there too.

It's possible that the people who say they're going to NY aren't doing the reunion right? They could just be doing The **** They Should've Shown (if there is one). For Rivals they brought Brandon and Evan in to do it and they weren't on the reunion. Same with Cara on Exes.

If he really didn't want to go to the reunion, he wouldn't. I don't think Alton has bad blood with production though. It's not their fault he had a horrible time. I would bet $10 he would do another challenge as long as he wasn't surrounded by all cast members he has no prior relationship with besides Trishelle, Danny, and maybe Big Easy, Wes, Melinda, and Lacey.

Alton and Trishelle don't get along. If he didn't want to go to the reunion because of the people, he would probably go because of the money. It is a lot of money to be berated by people for a few hours.

Obviously the professor won't change his schedule. However the cast members knew from before the semester started their would be a conflict, and they would have to take the risk of missing. Also I always had a professor who was willing to allowed students to do tutorial and/or labs earlier or later if there was a session happening. Meaning if you had lab on Monday and their was also a Friday group you could ask to switch to the Friday group for a one-time thing.

Alton explains everything in this interview including why he's going to the reunion show. On Talk reality TV bloodspot

hardly anything has been focused around her...a 2 minute segment in episode 2 really isnt 1/4

Found that interview. An interesting tad bit from that interview was that the whole Sarah is manpulative advice that was given to Trishelle was actually from Mark Long. And Alton is now on board with that tip.

That was such a cute pic, but I think a lot of the cast are already in New York for the reunion tomorrow. So they are just hanging out the night before. Jasmine and Marie are out drinking together and tweeted a pic. Must be having fun.
