Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Favorite/Fantasy Casts

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 only like the Old when mixed with the new like in Duals not where all the new is on one team and the old are on another like The Ruins...

The first challenge I ever watched in full was Inferno II, this cast is def my favorite. Beth and Tonya on the same challenge was god-like...

The CutThroat challenge looks like the best cast IMO. Asides from Johnny and Derrick. Just like the new faces.

If you ask me, The Ruins had the best cast. 1.The love pentagon of Cohutta-Kellyanne-Wes-Johanna-Kenny. 2.Strong rookies such as Sarah and Kellyanne. They also seem to be the cause of lots of drama. 3.The 'Wes and Evelyn vs. the team' drama was amazing; the champions were divided. Older veterans were in fights and arguments. Tonya vs. Veronica & Darell vs. Brad. 4. Susie remained being undefeated after the challenge. They even had so-called veterans on the challengers' team. Everything was great about the Ruins' cast!

The Island Cast , it was amazing !!! But what I liked most about the Island was the format. It put me to sleep at a decent time (Ten Fifteen or so), I got a good nights rest and I felt like I could take on the whole world the next day !!

I would take out pretty much all of the guys and replace them with new people. Kenny, Johnny, Evan, Derrick, Noor, Pete, Paula, Jillian, Sarah, Laurel = One huge, strong alliance. Wes and Ev would be a small team, maybe with Landon and Carly, but that's doubtful. I could see Brad and Tori would definitely be working together, but they would be demolished by that one huge alliance. I would switch Derrick and Evan with Knight and Ty and Paula and Sarah with Brianna and Kim [Both from Hollywood] Sorry for nitpicking your challenge :-\ I'm kind of bored lol
kdub90#369
My fantasy challenge cast would be a Cutthroat 2:The Challenge:Red, White and Blood" It's Real World vs Road Rules vs. Fresh Meat Real World Team ---------------------- Alton Landon Brad Scott Johnny Dunbar Sarah Kellyanne Emily(DC) Ashlee (B2NOLA) Brittni Jenn **************** Road Rules Team ----------------------- Derrick Dan Derek Abram Mark Darell Veronica Ibis Rachel Tori Angel Katie ***************** Fresh Meat Team ------------------------ Evan Kenny Vinny Jeff Brandon Pete Laurel Cara Maria Mandi Carley Diem Casey I think the Real World Team would win! What do you think?
TheSeenScene#370
I don't have a fantasy list in mind at the moment, but I have one person in mind that I would love to see back on challenges. Wait for it... Beth (Real World: Los Angeles)

My Ideal Duel 3 (because I THINK it's obviously going to be the next Challenge) Men: 1 .Abram 2. Alton 3. Brandon (FM2) 4. CJ (RW: Cancun) 5. CT 6. Dan (RR: Viewers Revenge) 7. Davis 8. Johnny 9. Knight 10. Landon 11. Mike (RW: DC) 12. Noor 13. Ty (RW: DC) 14. Wes Women: 1. Ashlee (RW: NO2) 2. Ayiiia 3. Cara Maria 4. Carley (FM2) 5. Coral 6. Emily (RW: DC) 7. Jonna 8. KellyAnne 9. Kimberly (RW: HW) 10. Laurel 11. Rachel (RR:CC) 12. Svetlana 13. Tonya 14. Veronica I think this would be a great balance of Rookies, old school veterans, and newer veterans alike, as well as likeable cast-members and drama.
Entropy#372
I was thinking ideal Duel 3 from people we know would more than likely do a Challenge: Male: 1. Wes 2. Evan 3. Brad 4. Mark 5. Landon 6. CT 7. Abram 8. Alton 9. Darrel 10. Derrick 12. Kenny 13. Johnny 14. Dan (Viewers Revenge) 15. Brandon (FM2) Female: 1. Evelyn 2. Laurel 3. Jenn 4. Paula 5. Camila 6. Tori 7. Susie 8. Aneesa 9. KellyAnne 10. Cara Maria 11. Sarah 12. Brittni 13. Emily 14. Carley 15. Diem The guys I basically put the 2 duel winners and the runner ups, and then went best of the best, included Brandon at the end to see how he would fair in a game he doesnt need to depend on a partner. As for the winner, we kinda know Jodi, Rachel and Svets wont come back so I went a bit more random but included the girls who many consider the best plus Aneesa who is a duel runner up as is Brittni.

I definitely think Jodi will be coming back, especially if there's any hint of it being another Duel. Anyways, considering the first Duel was 10 of each and the second was 13, I'm gonna up it to 18 each, including only practical people I see coming back. Males 1. Noor 2. Pete 3. Vinny 4. Kenny 5. Johnny 6. Derrick 7. Derek (RRVR) 8. Cohutta 9. Brandon 10. JD 11. Eric 12. Davis 13. Danny 14. Nehemiah 15. Tyrie 16. Dunbar 17. Dan 18. Evan Females 1. Laurel 2. Ev 3. Jodi 4. Kina 5. Diem 6. Jenn 7. Cara Maria 8. Tori 9. Susie 10. Johanna 11. KellyAnne 12. Jillian 13. Aneesa 14. Emily 15. Ashlee 16. Jonna 17. Sarah 18. Brianna *Paula could be a substitution for Ashlee or Jillian
VCR14#374
I think some realistic people we will probably see on the next challenge are Jemmye (RW: New Orleans) Laurel (Fresh Meat 2) Camila (Spring Break Challenge) KellyAnne (RW: Sydney) Evelyn (Fresh Meat) Aneesa (RW: Chicago) Knight (RW: New Orleans) Pete (Fresh Meat 2) Brandon (Fresh Meat 2) Mike (RW: D.C.) Ty (RW: D.C.) Cohutta (RW: Sydney) Derek (RR: Viewers Revenge) Mark (RR: First Adventure) I am still holding out hope for a Coral, Tina, CT, Alton, Frank, Kina, Jodi, Shane, Adam L., Robin, return.
Entropy#375
I think with their one night return at Cutthroat CT and Tina are back in BMP's good graces so their odds are better than a year ago. As for Adam L. I'd love to see him return.
jazzsquare#376
This would be my dream cast Guys -Frank -Derrick -Evan -Dunbar -Kenny -Landon -Johnny -Wes -Cohutta -Brad -Ryan K. -CT Girls -Paula -Jillian -Tori -Katie -Jenn -Melinda -KellyAnne -Susie -Kimberly -Ev -Emily(DC) -Casey
Lindsey#377
I put way too much thought into my list and I'm still conflicted on some of the people, but so far I have : Females: 1. Kina 2. Rachel 3. Laurel 4. Coral 5. Tori 6. Svetlana 7. Julie 8. Brittini 9. Jillian 10. Paula 11. Tina 12. Melinda Males: 1. CT 2. Ace 3. Kenny 4. Mark 5. Landon 6. Alton 7. Abram 8. Adam L 9. Cohutta 10. Brad 11. Noor 12. Theo .. I was tempted to put Adam King in the mix too since I really like him, but since I had already had CT and didn't want the possibility of another blood bath from the Duel 2. Also Melinda could be replaced it just kind of depends on how Cutthroat goes with her I think. Honorable mentions go to Derrick, Susie, Kim, Sarah, Dan, ..maybe even Camilla.
xajmx90#378
Males 1.Miz 2.Darell 3.Brad 4.CT 5.Kenny 6.Evan 7.Mark 8.Theo 9.Alton 10.Landon 11.Abe 12.Derrick Females 1.Tina 2.Coral 3.Rachel 4.Veronica 5.Aneesa 6.Evelyn 7.Susie 8.Jodi 9.Jenn 10.Paula 11.Katie 12.Tonya WITH the males to me the best athletes to impact these challenges with the females greatest mouths or athlete who made a impact over last 10 years IN NO PARTICULAR ORDER

If you're referring to Johnny Bananas from Key West, he wasn't on Fresh Meat. LOL. Although he seems like it since he hangs around with Evan and Kenny. If you're referring to the Johnnie that was partnered with Tonya then never mind.
JL81790#382
Fantasy Cast: Laurel Carley Mandi Svetlana Tori Melinda Jenn McKenzie Emilee Jonna Brittini Kellyanne Kina Diem I don't know what the challenge format would be, but there would be mud and physical contact in every challenge.

Bronne, ( + Isaac,) Danimal and Kenny on the same cast would be too hilarious to be shown on television.
ColiesMom#389
I would enjoy watching two complete RW cast united against two other casts. Possible 16 & 18 vs. 17 & 19.

How about Austin & Denver vs. Key West & Brooklyn? That'd be pretty even, if someone subbed for Alex or they use him as a buffer.
VCR14#391
No fact behind this but I feel like we will not see Katie or Landon on the next challenge. i have a feeling Landon is done after winning Fresh Meat 2 and Katie just seems kind of over them.
