Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Free Agents - Frank Sweeney

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.

The Challenge: Free Agents - Frank Sweeney

Youssarian ·

After a second-place finish on Rivals II with Bananas, Frank is ready to step back into the winner's circle. This volatile competitor stirs up drama wherever he goes, and isn't afraid of confrontation on or off the field. He defends, "I think whether or not you like the way I play the game, I play it and I play it well and I play hard and rough and dirty and it works out." Unencumbered by a team or partner, Frank knows Free Agents is the perfect game to showcase his talents and his athleticism, "I would just love so much to win one and do it on my own." Watch for Frank to make waves as he pursues his second Challenge title in three seasons.

It's the cool thing to do if you're on a challenge, especially since Frank loves it (Zito, CT, Knight)

I hope Jonna screws him over! But I doubt that's gonna happen :|

I don't have a problem with him.

Hope he doesn't get lucky again this time around.

Other than his entire Battle of the Seasons showing and him trying to fight CT on Rivals II, Frank has been pretty tolerable.

What about when he was throwing a b****fit with Jordan on Rivals 2?

Or when he started yelling at Jonna about Jemmye being "ugly" and "trashy" for everyone to hear.

I actually liked his freakout at Jordan. The finger waving was hilarious. I thought it was an actually entertaining meltdown, unlike most of his other ones which are just annoying. I also liked his tantrum when Priscilla ****ed up his haircut. I don't really see how he got so "lucky" before, he outperformed Johnny on Rivals 2.

I don't know. Pretty forgettable in my opinion. I pay attention to these shows while their airing not so much after their done, and I completely forgot about Frank's argument with Jordan.

Similar to my response to JayTee, I pay attention to these shows only when when their airing on TV and I remember a lot of details but I forgot about Frank's argument with Jordan and his argument with Jonna. What episode was that? I don't even remember anything about Frank being upset with Jonna.

It wasn't Jonna he was upset with. They were having a conversation and Frank suddenly went on a tirade about Jemmye and started yelling insults about Jemmye being "ugly" and "trashy" when the girl was only like five feet away from them. I'll be the first to admit I'm not a big fan of Jemmye, but I can't remember her doing anything to Frank that warranted him being that mean to her.

That was very well written! And the best part was Jasmine saying shes done with doing challenges but the proof won't be until next season when shes MIA!

I think Frank is just too emotional and insecure. I don't think he's the devil but he needs to stop comparing himself to other challengers because like he said a lot of these people just play a character. It's just kind of hypocritical of him to post this message yet he talked so much trash about CT even though CT is obviously playing a character and is not that way in real life. I think Frank should apologize to CT for getting his real life persona confused with his television persona.
thisismyuser#21
Zach commented on the facebook post as well, just said "Incredible." I agree that Frank is too emotional and insecure for these shows, which is unfortunate because I think he could be a really great competitor if he kept going.
thisismyuser#22
Weird how Frank is all okay now with former arch enemies like Dustin, Heather, Knight. Still not good with Nany I guess. And yeah he should apologize to CT but I don't think CT really cares at all about what Frank says about him anyway.
v123#23
is he still with his boyfriend
RealCynic#24
We'll see if his newfound sincerity lasts. I am a cynic after all. I don't think Frank is unintelligent in the slightest. But as others have aside, dude is hyperemotional and loses it often.
WESANDNANYFAN#25
I think him and his bf broke up.

Yep, that's true unless they recently got back together but i doubt it. I would love to think Frank won't talk mad crap about someone on twitter again soon, i truly would. Some people just can't help themselves. He's going to see how the show goes down this season, and what people say on interviews, and he will have a few drinks and go off on twitter. It doesn't make you a horrible person to talk smack on twitter, but he goes beyond trash talk with it a lot of the time. As others have said, Frank clearly has good qualities he has a lot of friends off the show from the shows, but he just gets too paranoid, too overdramatic, and too tv tough guy ish on the challenge it's obnoxious. I don't think that's who he truly is though, which is good for him. I also think he just wants acceptance from some people on the show and to prove himself he was a good competitor, and i think he has proven he is a well rounded competitor on the challenge

Makes me wonder how many of these fights were just acts to hype up the show. I mean this is still a tv show even though it's supposed to be a "reality". Certain things need to be exaggerated for entertainment value.

I don't understand his and Nany's feud..like I thought they made up but guess not.

I think that's happened twice now. Guess they're just not meant to be friends.

People like Jasmine and Knight seriously trying to act like they understood Frank's writing without using a dictionary. lol
