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.

Brain v Beauty v Brawn makes too much sense to open a brand new rookie rich era. I'm so sad they'll kill it for MTV US vs MTV Bulgaria vs MTV Sweden vs MTV Mongolia...

Who are the two Brawn next to Natalie A?

Ashley Tolbert (from Squid games SHE IS JACKED OMG) and Makensy from BB26

OS Kajun#16624

Love Ashley. That looks nothing like Makensy, she used a great filter. I'd replace her with Cydney from Survivor though.

FORMAT: Targets & Hopper

In the beginning of the season TJ will ask a male and female from each team to volunteer as team captains. Which ever team placed last will go straight into elimination. The winning team will get $5000 added to their final bank account. Every other team EXCEPT for the winning team will anonymously vote for 1 male and 1 female. TJ will then activate the hopper and draw TWO male and TWO female names to potentially go into elimination. The winning team will then VOTE for which guy and girl they want to send in against the losing individuals. Winner of eliminations pick targets. Male picks a male and female picks female UNLIKE on 40

Frank is not a beauty. Who are the guys for beauty besides Cory Frank and grant? And who are the bottom 2 brawn girls next to Natalie? I saw you said makensy, but she isn't black so...

killakashhh#16634

Frank is beautiful. And the other guys in beauty are Kareem Fathalla (from AYTO6), Rob Rausch from LIUSA6, and Bryton from Squid Games the challenge. And the brawn girls next to Natalie are Ashley (Squid Games The Challenge) and Cydney (Survivor Kaoh Rong)

UKLover1#16635

Cedric (BB26) and Joss need to be on beauty.

Cedric (BB26) and Joss need to be on beauty. 

Forgot about Joss tbh. I just wanna see Bryton and Frank argue 

killakashhh#16637

Plus Joss said he has no interest in returning to the challenge so I tried to be realistic (and if production had 20% more competence when it comes to casting)

killakashhh#16638

But fr my beauty team ATE Smile

Snarkyy#16639

Okay Alexis "Lete" from the new season of DONDI is fierce and needs to be on ASAP! She's 6-foot and was a Division 1 volleyball player, a top-three finisher in the Miss USA pageant, and a WWE wrestler! And she's being super messy / strategic so far lol.

If I remember correctly, didn't she get fired from the WWE for being a racist POS?

Too mature at this point, plus Makeda is pregnant and has her doctorate. Very unlikely  

GoldenRing#16647

Nia and Makeda would've been a force.

Shame that shit went to waste.
