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.

It would be pitty if Landon doesn't make another one, at least. He said on FM2 reunion that he bought an engagement ring to his girlfriend, so probably and sadly he must be done with challenges...

I'm not going to write a full-blown list of people but I'd love for a challenge where everyone is an individual like the duel except under no circumstances will there be any missions where you have to partner up. It's every man/woman for themselves. My idea of a cool challenge; In the beginning, every competitor begins with $1,000 in their individual bank account. Winner of the mission gets money and prizes and is immune and the competitors vote to who gets sent into elimination (votes are done anonymously). All can be voted in except for the winner obviously and the person with the most votes choose who they want to compete against. If there's a tie in the votes then everyone votes again debating on who should go between the tie votes but the winner of the mission can't so that the votes can't be equal again (Example; A B C D E F G H I and J votes. At the end A and B are tied with 5 votes so they have to vote again but this time J can't vote because J won the mission so at the end the voted won't be tied again). Whoever wins the elimination round gets the loser's money. That'd be interesting to me. You can add anything if you want that's my idea. As for competitive people, I could careless as long as landon, darrell and Jenn are there. Those are my favorite competitors (females, I'm not a fan of the muscle bound females. I prefer to see strong lady-like females not potential bodybuilders. Kinda takes out the fun in the female elimination rounds but ev's cool). Rookie competitors that's looking good to me is brandon, cohutta and kellyanne. As for entertainment, the only person I ever thought was funny was issac (RW sydney). He made me kind of regret not watching RW anymore (I stopped watching RW after philly but saw a little of hollywood). I can't think of anyone else that's funny..

I completely agree that having another Cutthroat be Fresh Meat vs. Real World vs. Road Rules would be amazing. I'd like to see... Road Rules Guys 1. Derrick (X-Treme) 2. Abram (South Pacific) 3. Darrell (Campus Crawl) 4. Blair (The Quest) - because he's awesome and I miss seeing him on MTV 5. Mark (USA1) Girls 1. Jodi (X-treme) 2. Rachel (Campus Crawl) 3. Jillian (X-treme) 4. Susie (Down Under) 5. Tori (Viewers Revenge) Real World Guys 1. Landon (Philadelphia) 2. Scott (Brooklyn) 3. Wes (Austin) 4. Alton (Vegas) 5. Cohutta (Sydney) Girls 1. Kelly-Anne (Sydney) 2. Brittini (Hollywood) 3. Sarah (Brooklyn) 4. Emily (DC) 5. Jenn (Denver) Fresh Meat Guys 1. Kenny (I) 2. Evan (I) 3. Noor (II) 4. Brandon (II) 5. Pete (II) Girls 1. Ev (I) 2. Laurel (II) 3. Aviv (I) 4. Diem (I) 5. Cara Maria (II)

Guys: Timmy! (RR2) Dan (RR: Northern Trail) CT (RW: Paris) Theo (RR: Maximum Velocity) Adam (RR: The Quest) Frank (RW: Las Vegas) Dan (RW: Miami) Chris (RR: South Pacific) Christian (RR2) David (RW: Seattle) The Miz (RW: Back to New York) Congressman Sean Duffy (RW: Boston) Girls: Rachel (RR: Campus Crawl) Susie (RR: Australia) Kelly (RW: New Orleans) Holly (RR: Latin America) Coral (RW: Back to New York) Sarah (RR: Campus Crawl) Emily (RR2) Katie (RR: The Quest) Veronica (RR: Semester at Sea) Paula (RW: Key West) Jamie (RW: San Diego) Ellen (RR: The Quest) Yes, I have some (almost all) incredibly old school competitors. Some of them were chosen because they did well once and never defended their titles, some for being all-around awesome competitors, some for pure entertainment value, one as a joke, but almost all of them have personalities and would be amazing to watch. Certainly more so than some of the lame forgetables on in recent years. I am a fan of some of them but could use a break from some of the more frequent competitors.

I'd never put Kenny or Evan on my fantasy team even if they participate and win every challenge from here until whenever.

I love seeing old faces return, so Ibis and Syrus were welcome additions in my book. Ibis brought a good deal of drama in the episode she was unfortunately sent home in. Syrus didn't bring any drama but definitely show that "Big Sy" still has it in him when he took out Adam in their Ruins. You are absolutely right, though, about adding Cara to the mix - she would have stirred up a lot of crap. I'm sure Susie and her would have gone against Johnny in an Inferno III flashback... it also would have been interesting to see how Susie's role would have changed on the champions team. Having said that, I don't really like Cara. :D
Yes bringing back Cara over someone orther than Ibis would be good like Johanna :D I think for the ruins 2 people who won challenges 1-12 old school champs and 13-21 new school champions.
JEKandWes#398
I liked the Gauntlet 2 cast the most. The first Duel had a great cast too.
VCR14#399
The Duel 2, The Ruins, The Inferno and the Battle of The Sexes 2 had the best casts in my opinion.
Debut Album#400
If I didn't say this already. I liked the Gauntlet 2's cast alot. To me it had the perfect mix of old and new(at the time) castmembers. Plus it was the last true Real World/Road Rules Challenge

Haha, I think you actually had every challenge covered (before Fresh Meat, of course) EXCEPT for the Gauntlet 2. ;)

I tried to make the cast more realistic then go out all old school like I do in my other fantasy challenge cast...Here's the list...

Guys Syrus (RW: Boston) Alton (RW: Las Vegas) Frank (RW: Las Vegas) Randy (RW: San Diego) Scott (RW: Brooklyn) Ryan (RW: Brooklyn) CJ (RW: Cancun) Knight (RW: B2 New Orleans) Darrell (RR: Campus Crawl) Abram (RR: South Pacific) Jeremy (RR: South Pacific) Derrick (RR: X-Treme) Kenny (FM 1) Pete (FM 2) Brandon (FM 2) Girls Coral (RW: B2 New York) Kelly-Anne (RW: Sydney) Trisha (RW: Sydney) Emily (RW: DC) Jemmye (RW B2 New Orleans) Susie (RR: Down Under) Veronica (RR: Semester at Sea) Kendel (RR: Campus Crawl) Tina (RR: South Pacific) Kina (RR: X-Treme) Jillian (RR: X-Treme) EV (FM 1) Diem (FM 1) Laurel (FM 2) Carley (FM 2)

The Ruins had 3 rookie males and 11 veterans. The Duel 2 had 5 rookie males and 10 veterans.

Don't know why my mind wants a Cutthroat/Ruins crossover, 3 teams: Champs, Challengers and Runner-Ups (thinking of a "ch" name for that team); 10 contestants on each team, individual Bank Accounts, 3 males and 3 females nominated for the ruins in each team each challenge and the winner gets the option of not sending any of his teammates into the Ruins. Champs (Red): Rachel (RR: Campus Crawl) [Gauntlet, Duel 2] Tori (RR: Viewers Revenge) [Gauntlet 3, Cutthroat] Jillian (RR: X-Treme) [Gauntlet 3] Carley (FM2) [Fresh Meat 2] Coral (RW: BTNY) Brad (RW: San Diego) Frank (RW: LV) [Gauntlet 3] Mark (RR1) [Challenge, Sexes] Landon (RW: Philly) [Inferno 2, Gauntlet 2, Fresh Meat 2] (random thought, he won every sequel to a challenge and was the best player in Duel 2 [?]) Dunbar (RW: Sydney) Runner Ups (Gray): Laurel (FM2) [Fresh Meat 2, Cutthroat] Casey (FM) [Fresh Meat] Paula (RW: Key West) [Inferno 3, Gauntlet 3, Island] Tina (RR: South Pacific) [Fresh Meat] Jenn (RW: Denver) [Island, Fresh Meat 2, Cutthroat] Eric (FM) [Gauntlet 3] Ryan (FM) Ace (RW: Paris) [Inferno 3] CT (RW: Paris) [Inferno 1, Inferno 2, Gauntlet 3] Adam (RW: Paris) [Gauntlet 3] Challengers (Blue): Jonna (RW: Cancun) Brianna (RW: Hollywood) Melinda (RW: Austin) Callie (RW: DC) Theresa (RW: BTNO) Knight (RW: BTNO) Andrew (RW: DC) Brandon (FM2) Cohutta (RW: Sydney) Danny (RW: Austin) I just can't stop thinking, what could possibly go wrong with this cast. - Laurel in the same team with Eric and Casey. - CT being in the same team with Adam and Ace. - Jenn and Paula finally on he same team. - Paula not having Kenny/Johnny to blame and having Dunbar as a champ. - Danny and Melinda being on the challenge just to work out their personal isshues. - Tori and Tina and Theresa being nominated for the same ruin. - Frank/Jillian fighting with Brad/Tori because Jillian gave up at some point and Tori said she doesn't are about challenges. - And this elimination rounds: Landon Vs CT, Mark Vs CT, Rachel Vs Laurel, Coral Vs Tina.

blackinwhite#412
I agree 100% with you TSPKM an all female cast now that's a fantasy cast. You are missing Baya and Emily in your cast. At the least I want to see Carley, Kelly Anne, and Emily again.

Vinny Ace Jeremy CT The Miz Alton Landon Ty Andrew Cohutta Wes David (Seattle) Darrell Theo Emily Coral Rachel (CC) Veronica Julie Jodi KellyAnne Johanna Laurel Cara Maria Aneesa Jenn Ashley (DC) Ayiiia These are all my favorites either on their season or on the challenges, and i think it's the right amount of vets and rookies and the right amount of drama queens and true competitors. Laurel, Cara Maria, and Vinny are the only fresh meat (out of both seasons) i like watching lol

I know there have been several Real World-Road Rules-Fresh Meat posts out there but I was thinking if they ever do one it would probably require SOME rookies, so in teams of twelve each team must have at least 4 rookies (one challenge or less, 2 guys 2 girls) Team Real World Guys 1. Alton (RW Vegas) 2. Landon (RW Philly) 3. CT (RW Paris) 4. Frank (RW Vegas) 5. *HWMNBN (RW Hollywood) 6. *Ryan (RW B2NO) Girls 1. Jenn (RW Denver) 2. Sarah (RW Brooklyn) 3. Kim (RW Hollywood) 4.
