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 disagree, especially with 90 minute episodes. The more the merrier...

The Challenge: Favorite/Fantasy Casts

OS Kajun ·

I disagree, especially with 90 minute episodes. The more the merrier. Sexes 1 & 2 were amazing with 36 people and only 30 min episodes.

USA 1 and 2 were only 42 minute episodes though...

If edited correctly that works but it can be 90.

this cast is soooo good (except for Mechie oop)

El Lobito#16594

casting two Codys from Big Brother (including boring *** Calafiore) and NOT Cody from Survivor??? choices

OS Kajun#16595

Cody C has a fanbase. Maga Cody is a good villain. I don't know a Cody from Survivor. Do you mean Colby? Cause he is like in his mid-50s now but I'd be fine with him returning.

entrepreneur#16596

lol not Colby. I just remember Gerri/Jerri getting hated for I guess voting him out...

I feel like he needs another chance. He has messy potential & was good at the dailies.

Except they casted Jordan & Nia, not Jordan & Laurel.

The Konquerer don't play when he casts....

CosmicDiva#16614

It's a realistic cast too. I'm mad tho because I feel like production lost Idris number for whatever reason. They should've been giving him another chance. 

entrepreneur#16615

I feel like he was contacted for bfanc but idk wtf they dropped him for 

TheKonquerer#16616

Boo are you fb friends with all of them? Cuz how tf you found all these family members lmao good cast tho 

Whenever I make casts, I do what production SHOULD do. Take your time to find the best members for the theme you're invested in. 

TheKonquerer#16617

It's a realistic cast too. I'm mad tho because I feel like production lost Idris number for whatever reason. They should've been giving him another chance. 

That was my goal, a realistic, but good cast. Everyone I cast for this, has an opp or atleast someone they have history with on the cast as well.  That plus their bloodlines will give the season a push that the original bloodlines did not have.
