Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Free Agents - Cara Maria Sorbello

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.

Plus I don't think Cara is the type to get physical with someone and would probably just run to laurel who'd handle it by saying nasty things back to Jenn because no way in hell Jenn would have pushed Laurel. Although Cara probably would have chose to kick Jenn out BC Mandi had that option but Wes would have never allowed her to.
I don't think Laurel was going to do anything to Jenn even if Cara Maria had asked her to. Laurel was completely present when Jenn kicked and slapped Cara Maria. She was neutral and trying to play a middle ground because she was A) also friends with Jenn and B) not wanting to get on Jenn's ugly side and C)kind of the one who instigated the whole Cara vs Jenn feud by telling Jenn what Cara Maria was saying about her. Even at the reunion you could see that Laurel didn't really attack Jenn until Jenn ripped into her first, essentially giving Laurel no choice but to defend herself. It was almost like a last resort thing to fire back. Even on the podcasts prior to the reunion, Laurel would avoid talking badly about Jenn but Jenn would talk mad crap about Laurel. Remember, this is the same Laurel that ripped into Paula and attempted to attack Wes, but didn't really have much to say to Jenn despite the fact that Jenn was a much bigger offender to Cara IMO.

Laurel was scared of Jenn.Laurel acts all tough but really she is sensitive and insecure. She only goes after weak targets.

Which is why she went for Wes? Or Easy? Her only easy target to me was Paula. From what I recall, she went at it with Jenn on the reunion, though of course Jenn got a great edit.

Well Jenn was defending Paula, also it makes zero sense to me for Laurel to be scared of someone half her size

Wait! Are you defending/on Cara's side, a FRESH MEATER!?!?!?!? Have you finally come to accept a fresh meat castmember!? Hi. :D
No. I just don't think anyone should be bullied like that..especially for no reason.

What?! Laurel is tough and sensitive but scared? Never that

I don't think it had anything to do with size but just rather how vicious and psychotic Jenn can get if you are on her bad side. Laurel referenced this in Derrick's podcast that when Jenn gets like that, it's best to stay out of her way. Adam King referenced in his blog too that that's sort of one of the reasons that Johnny "enlisted" her into his alliance because he'd rather have her ******* out of his tent than in it. From what I heard, the Jenn vs Laurel at the Rivals reunion got pretty out of hand and messy. A lot of inappropriate things were exchanged between the two but none of it was really aired.

The only thing I remember from the Rivals reunion was Adam saying that he and Jenn had sex in an airport bathroom lol.

That is true, so it was verbal between Laurel & Jenn not physical like it was for Cara & Jenn
WESANDNANYFAN#71
I know that Jenn called Paula's ex Lance that the cast was friends with and proved that Laurel was messing around with him. She did it on the reunion but they didn't air it. They both brought up personal things and none of it was aired.

Somehow Cara has managed to see all 4 elimination rounds this season. She defeated Nia in Looper, La Toya in Oppenheimer, Jessica in Balls In, and faces Laurel in Wrecking Wall. I think Cara vs Laurel would be a good battle if both were healthy but Cara with 1 hand in Wrecking Wall against Laurel just isn't fair.

You give her too much credit. It wouldn't be fair regardless. Did you not see Laurel towering over Cara in that elimination? Laurel would just have to get a little over half way and just reach up and ring the bell.
audreyhorne#75
Yeah, Laurel is like 12 feet tall. She could basically reach the bell from the ground.
LHarkins#76
Hardly Laurel has one head over Cara. The better player would win (under normal circumstances)

Laurel would probably beat Cara in Oppenheimer and balls in and Looper. Wall was probably her best bet- had she a non broken hand
LHarkins#78
Agreed. Balls in and Oppenheimer between Cara and Laurel I would pay to see.

I had always wondered how/when they became friends, especially after CT made her cry on Rivals.
I just watched that fight and CT ''found out'' who is her boyfriend and that is why he was bullying her. Why CT dislikes Abram? (sorry, if it is dumb question, but everybody liked him at the Island)

Lol, I just re watched that and just reminded me how much I loved that season, I'm watching CT vs. Wes now. What a great season.

I don't think he has a problem with Abe. They always seemed to get along on the seasons they were together. I think he was just looking to get a reaction and he saw that was the best way to upset her. As for him and Cara they only seemed to have one argument. Even during the argument Cara said something along the lines of "you've been okay until now". It was also right after he voted for her and Laurel and we know Cara loves to play the victim card. He also seemed to be one of the few on Caras side after Wes poured the cola on her later in the season

#TeamCaraMaria! I have faith that she will win a challenge in the future. She is beautiful, has a great personality and is a great competitor. She has improved so much since her debut on Fresh Meat. She will kill it in her next final!
