Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Free Agents - Jonna Mannion

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'm like 85% sure she's mixed black and white.
timster3#70
Yeah I think she's multi racial. But I don't know the exact parts. lol I remember at the beginning of Cancun Cj said something like "I can't believe you're a black chick with blue eyes" or something like that and she smirked.
keviie#71
I love Jonna since Cancun! I know she has a lot in her, hope she can kick some *** this season! I´m rooting for her (I´ve been since Rivals)
RealCynic#72
I haven't watched Cancun. But why do people seem to say things like Jonna has to problems with males? Not animosity problems, mind you. But issues?

Because she cheated on her boyfriend and she needed to be the center of attention for the guys in the house lol But if you do a little digging read her MTV bio she has a tough story was in foster care never really had a male figure when she was young and she was adopted by her social worker at 8 but once she turned 18 she was kicked out to live by herself.n Danni from Bad girls club on a twitter war she had with Jonna over Zach, she wrote to Jonna "Go get rape again and be homeless" She does have a lot of daddy issues, like a lot of the girls on this shows. But air don't think she is not the biggest one and I think its pathetic people make it seem that way.

Agreed with this statement. The hate that she receives is astonishing to say the least. Nonetheless, I'm excited to see how she does this challenge! Always been one of my favorite new regulars.

Of the 4 elimination games in the trailer (i'm not the one to pause and find out who is facing who or what the games are) but just from obvious scenes. The elimination rounds this season seem to lean on the more physical side and it benefits the heavier people. I don't know how Jonna will be able to handle going into an elimination in a Hall Brawl, reverse tug of war, or ball type challenge. The only person I see her beating is Jasmine :\ Jonna is a small girl... I really wish they added more puzzles like they do on Survivor. I really liked Jonna's elimination game she won in Rivals I, it was totally random but it was still just as suspenseful and fun to watch as any physical elimination. Not every game has to be physical because sometimes it's very predictable. Just as long as they get rid of the dumb games like the blindfolded sword crap from last season and the sawing the rope upside down. Now those were stupid..

Good physical eliminations are the best anyway and I can see Jonna taking out Emilee to and maybe Jess. Corner ball not hall brawl btw there's a big difference.

I agree with Tim, a balance is nice. Yes physical is good but one game that combines strategy and mental would be nice as well and I actually think they have one this season. The wall climbing one seems more strategic than mental though.

I'm not sure what corner ball is but I thought I saw one with the big can in the middle and you have to get your ball into the can while your opponent tries to block you. And then I saw one that looked like hall brawl but it was a longer course and curved O_O. And yeah I could see her taking out Emilee. But Jess... naw I don't think so. Even though she lost weight she's still bigger and I think tougher than Jonna. I don't think she'd stand a chance tbh. But I can't wait to see how it goes down! We never really got to see Jonna compete in a real tough physical game besides the oil wrestle in BOTS and teams were throwing that, so now we'll finally see what she's made of.

Yeah I just like a balance. Or at least a combination of physical and mental/strategy in 1 game. I wasn't a fan of old school elimination rounds but on The Gauntlet I I liked when they had to dive in the pool to get their puzzle pieces and then complete the puzzle. That one was pretty awesome (although they can't do that anymore with the setting). And I didn't really pay attention to the wall game. I was trying to avoid seeing the names on the jerseys so I kind've looked away :\ lol. But I do remember seeing that game in the trailer but I have no clue what they're supposed to do.

He's correct, no Corner Ball. Balls In and Hall Brawl were both shown.

I actually like her hair this season: 4297
JayTee#82
I hate her hair this season. Can't wait for her to be eliminated.
mph922#83
She kind of looks like a Jackson sister in her confessionals...

It doesn't look as bad as Rivals 1, but I still prefer her look on Rivals 2.
proceed#85
Glad to see Jonna say she's going too be more independent this challenge. Hopefully we'll see the likable Rivals 1 Jonna come back this season.
timster3#86
I'm glad she said she'll be independent too so all the idiotic fans can stop calling her a h*e and sl** but then go on to worship the ground CT walks on. I can't stand the hypocrisy. I agree her hair is great :love_heart:. She looks amazing in whatever hairstyle she has, and this one makes her look unique!
PinkRose#87
I like when Jonna is all about the game, hopefully she doesn't lose her focus on the next episode or episodes. I really hope he learns to control to not break under pressure.

I used to not find her that attractive, but after seeing her this season I'm in love with her. I also like her attitude this challenge, she is in it to win.
WESANDNANYFAN#89
Jonna is a good competitor. I never thought she would be but she has a lot of heart and is very smart. #TeamJonna :)
PinkRose#90
I think she would be good if she didn't break down during pressure.
proceed#91
If frank really did save Jonna from homelessness, then it's really lame that she turned on him for a vote that was 50% Bananas anyway.
