Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Favorite Player

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.

The Challenge: Favorite Player

love_kenny ·

Who is your favorite Challenge player of all time? Reasons why? My favorite would have to be Brad. He seems like he's a really sweet guy, hes pretty physically strong, and he can outsmart alot of the guys bigger than him. Also, I've never really seen anyone hate him or be out to get him.

It is too bad he has retired. He is a good guy who often ended up being the moderating influence around the more extreme guys on the challenges. Sadly, most of that footage never made it to air.

Aneesa was asked to participate in the current challenge, but was asked as a replacement and too late since she had already booked other things. There is no "new generation" thinking going on. They work from an ideal cast based on likely storylines, drama and cast conflict. They cast the best mix of people they can get. Aneesa was to be a replacement for Brooke, if I'm reading my notes correctly from last month. We'll just have to disagree about Miss Piggy (otherwise know as Tina).

I wish Tina would come back.

Brooke?! She was asked to be on it at first?! So she turned it down I'm assuming? That's awesome. 1. That I love her. 2. That you knew that, that's really cool! :)

I must say overall Coral, Katie, Aneesa, Tonya, Beth, Veronica, and Derrick are my all time favorites. Coral being at the top. To me they all brought something to the Challenges that nobody else did. Coral and Katie brought all the entertainment. Aneesa brought the heart and the drive. Tonya brought the drama. Beth brought all the drama and was a huge wildcard. Veronica brought drama. Derrick brought heart, drive, and will.

I've tried to stay away from Vevmo for the last while, in order to avoid finding out anymore about the current challenge. but this forum was too good to resist. My favorite is Evan he is funny and an extremely good competitor Then to Kenny, he's just really funny

I always liked Julie (NO). And ironically enough, Melissa (NO). On the guy side, Derrick and probably older season guys like Miz, Theo, and the classic commentary by Timmy.

I don't remember Kefla doing any challenges.

I like JUlie and Melissa a lot as well. I like the Miz, but at times he became too much for me. I don't really like either Theo. Especially Theo V. I like Timmy though.

Hey! Theo G was cool

I didn't like him very much. He's very forgettable as is most of the Chicago cast besides Aneesa and Tonya.

Emily was great. I never liked Ellen. She was way too emotional and couldn't see things that were right in front of her. Amaya is great. I loved her on Hawaii.

Kefla did one of the first challenges. I sure Bach knows.

I started with Fresh Meat, though later on I've seen some of the older challenges, so I'm more with the "newer-generation". But I can't really choose a sole favorite,but I'd probably choose Wes. And I began to like Frank on the G3.
usanike#23
Only two challenge appearances and a lot of people may not like him because of his cocky attitude but Wes is my favorite RWRR challenge competitor. He manipulates and dominates the competition. 3rd Place on Fresh Meat with Casey 1st Place on The Duel Also never lost an elimination

Ace is fun to watch. He's so likeable but also so unathletic. CT, tho kinda psycho, brings out an interesting side in people. I like watching anyone who the majority dislikes: Beth, Tonya, CT. And Aneesa telling someone off with Timmy standing behind her, i could watch that over and over.
Elizabeth#25
^ I like watching Ace too! The older challenges were the best ... when they used to do the six players vs six players.
Dartagnan#26
CT is the least entertaining, I do not like watching him or like him at all. He creates drama, yes, but it doesn't matter if you are a jerk. I also love Rachel Robinson. I like the very competitive, yet, dramatic ones. Her encouraging Tonya to throw the clothes in the pool, the Inner Circle Speech, and her making fun o Sarah and Theo playing crosswords are absolutely classic. Plus, she has/had the body of a freaking pro-wrestler.
dplayer18#27
My favorite player is Alton. He's strong and a really great competitor plus he never lost an elimination
GoldenWarrior#28
Well we all know my love for Katie so she is one of my favorites by far, obviously I am also big on Derrick too so he is on there. Rachel and Veronica weren't always on my list but they made things interesting and I enjoyed seeing them on the challenges. I have a few others but I am in a hurry and I'm lazy so I'll add more later lol

Katie stops by occasionally to update herself on challenge stuff. I'm hoping she will offer us a few comments and observations when the challenge airs in September. If you play beer pong, she could be your friend for life.
good brooklyn#30
Katie whines too much, smokes too much, complains too much and comes off quite dumb. And unlike other 'villain' females (tonya and beth), she doesn't create much tension or interesting tv moments (like coral telling off a drunk and arrogant CT). Or Nehamiah telling the producers about Beth following him around like a lost dog.

EEK! No way I love Katie and her smoking, swearing ***!! :D :D And I don't think she comes off as dumb at all.
