Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Free Agents - Jessica McCain

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 - Jessica McCain

Youssarian ·

Good girl Jessica left Rivals II following her partner Anastasia's epic meltdown. No longer held back by a teammate, Free Agents is Jessica's chance to show what she's made of. Jessica proclaims, "I don't think people see me as a threat this time because I didn't last very long in the previous Challenge. I have to play it cool and then just bam, hit them with it." Although she claims she's not looking for romance in the house, Jessica is all smiles when she makes an instant love connection. Don't underestimate this former pageant queen--when it comes to performing in challenges, she just might shock everyone.

Me too, I like her and I don't find her annoying at all like a lot of people. I think she is gonna do great this time around. I believe she is gonna keep doing challenges and became a regular.

I'm a Jess fan, I'll admit it. I'm not even entirely sure why, I just want to see her kick some butt this season.

I like her a lot and hope she does well but I think she needs to stop reminding us on instagram and twitter that shes princess hulk for lifting Anastasia on the 2nd episode of Rivals 2...almost a year ago. lol

Honestly, I think the same. But not for a positive reason. On Portland she just seemed so spoiled and needy. Yet on Rivals 2, she was the one who had to be strong for her partner. I was all like, "The heck? When did you grow a spine like that?"

Yeah. That's what surprised me about her. I thought that she was going to be the one that fell apart. But she held strong for her partner and kept her head on straight and I wasn't expecting that from her.

Hahahahah Oh jessica I can't with her, seriously I hope to see her on an elimination round to see what "princess hulk" can do.

Hahahahaha Jessica is such a joke....

It really is insane to think that someone could have a good heart and want to do good things! Lol what a crazy thought.

I don't think it's what she's trying to do it's how she's trying to do it. Competing on a Rality Tv Show doesn't really benefit anyone but herself. Unless she gives the money she gets from the shows to charity or something.
Youssarian#14
I think she's trying to be more of an "inspiration" and to inspire and motivate people to do fitness and eat healthy, I would assume.

I kind of liked her during her short time on Rivals 2.

I think she really wants to fit in, so she tries to adapt and be like other people who say they don't care what people think, when in reality she truly cares a lot. She even admitted herself she started working out a lot because on her season she was called fat and it really bothered her. I think that's great she is working on her body, but than she loses me on her constant pats on her own back about the princess hulk and how she is some huge star and has a glamorous job etc. I thnk she tries to take Nia's approach but you can't just be someone else and than try to have it both ways, just be you! Bananas is hated and loved by some but he is just himself, he has a huge fan base from being himself, loved or hated. I think Jessica would benefit from not caring so much what we all think of her, no matter what she claims, she clearly cares a ton. Than she tweets about being all about helping people and it's like wow this girl truly is lost or doesn't quite get it one or the other. She also always comments how she is real and tells everyone what's up good or bad and that is simply not true based on the tweeting polar opposite comments each day so it's like which is it. I think she is very clingy with guys too because she likes attention which i can't hate on that i mean who doesn't want a boyfriend or girlfriend but it goes back to my opinion she has low self esteem and needs that constant reassurance. I wish her the best, but i think she will be on the next few challenges to come, which i am not to happy about but oh well.

Well the fact she was and still is very self centered plus if there wasn't a moment about her she'd find a way to make it about her
keviie#21
I´m with you guys too, I´m actually really surprisingly happy to see her back, I was not happy on Rivals II but now I hope she gets far and kicks butt!

From the first episode I actually like Nia better than her and I never thought I'd say that. Jessica tries way too hard.. Even Zach keeps making fun of her on twitter and so was Bananas.

I like Nia better than Jasmine as well

Johnny and Nia are really enjoyable this season! Jessica is just doing to much. Like I never want to see her and Dustin on a challenge together ever again because them together is nauseating to watch!

I don't know why but I find her creepy for some reason.

Is it her jawline?

I can't stand her. One of the most annoying cast members EVER.

I think it's her eyes, they look like they are gonna pop out of her head, and also her smile

Yeah her smile I sorta...unnerving.

I'm not a fan but editing really did her no favors. Almost every time they showed Dustin they cut to her or picked a point at which she was in her vicinity to show her. Maybe it was actually that bad but I'm sure production could've helped her out a little. 4395
hannamez8#31
Haha I notice that too, she even pulls him away. Like chill out.
