Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Generic Thread

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.

Agreed. Honestly I was surprised we didn't have a dirty 30 style redemption house this season - but they should have done something more with the 8 eliminated right away.

Also The Challenge USA, Australia and Argentina are removed off Paramount+ 

Nonja#69875

They have quietly and randomly added The Challenge All Stars 4 and World Championships to Sky Showtime Spain.

And they are dubed in Spanish (from Spain) and Polish for some reason.

ughhhh I wouldve rewatched Aus had I known in advance

Flopnanas#69877

Paramount is such a joke.... what content is there left to watch thats decent lol

Tvandcoffee#69878

No really though. The only original show of theirs that was a success recently was school spirits. I watched when it first came out. I loved it and had nobody to talk about it with, even on twitter. Then netflix got it and it was in the top 10 for a month. Season 2 is coming beginning of feb, but I highly doubt anyone will flock to paramount to watch. They will wait until Netflix gets it again.

oh and maybe those western shows but I dont **** with that shit. But I am sure a certain demographic is eating those up

    100% agree. Total Drama would have 1000x better if done in a Challenge Format. Would have been great to see Lindsay and Leshawna beat Heather's ***

    Season rankings. Like the 40th season of Survivor, I was hoping BOTEras would be better than it was, but I still enjoyed it!

    So..Um hey.

    So I don't watch the show much but kinda sorta follow what's going on and I see that they're not letting people who are on the main challenge go into All Stars and I have to ask...If they're going to do that then what's really the point? Like why have all these different shows with all the same people on it? Doesn't make a whole lotta sense to me.

    it's basically now just 'The Challenge: People who still wanna do the show but can't commit to a filming period for more than a month'

    Looks all some of us OG Vevmo folks from 10 years ago are suddenly popping back up. Glad to see you're doing good. 

    KVM still around? Haha

    AshtonMartin#69893

    Currently finished a rewatch of Invasion and just realized season 29 was Invasion of the Champions and 39 was Battle for a New Champion.

    Do y'all think 49 (if we get that far lol) would be another season with a fresh cast themed around champions before a landmark season 50

    AshtonMartin#69894

    I also think the challenges next couple of seasons (41-45) are really crucial if the show wants to make it to 50. 

    Players like Bananas, CT, Cara, Nany, Aneesa even Tori and Devin are reaching 40 and won't be able to perform as well, or commit to the filming time and I feel like production is still not taking the time to cultivate the next generation. I feel like the last generation production put effort into was the Invasion generation (Tony, Cory, Amanda, Devin, Ashley etc) I mean the trilogy (30-32) was basically themed around them.  Only other generation you could maybe say the same is the CBS rookies (Josh, Kaycee, Faysal and Amber) but none of them really had a positive reaction from the fans and they still never let them shine without older stars.

    In old school terms imagine if Era 2 seasons were still filled with Timmy, Jon and other Era 1 cast members that have had their time on the show. Idk i'm high and thought about this rant rn lol

    UKLover1#69895

    Hopefully what they're doing with the cast of 41 and some of the 39 people (like Moriah and Ravyn) means they're finally serious about investing in rookies and not giving up on them after one season.

    Lets rank all of the Big Brother US contestants who debuted on the flagship Challenge. (Can be ranked by personal favorites or competition wise, or however you want.)

    List of all of them in order of debut:

    1. Victor
    2. Natalie
    3. Jozea
    4. Da'vonne
    5. Paulie
    6. Liz
    7. Julia
    8. Josh
    9. Morgan
    10. Bayleigh
    11. Swaggy C
    12. Kaycee
    13. Fessy
    14. Amber
    15. Tommy
    16. Analyse

    Lmk if I'm forgetting someone

    null#69900

    My personal ranking based on how much I think they provided to the show on their respective seasons:

    1. Da'vonne
    2. Paulie
    3. Natalie
    4. Amber
    5. Bayleigh
    6. Josh
    7. Jozea
    8. Fessy
    9. Morgan
    10. Swaggy C
    11. Analyse
    12. Julia
    13. Tommy
    14. Victor
    15. Liz
    16. Kaycee (Actively made the show worse and 10x more boring that's why she's below all of the flops)
    null#69901

    Personally I feel like Jozea/Natalie/Paulie/Da'vonne were the big 4 'main characters' of that first wave of BB people.

    Kaycee/Josh/FessyAmber were the big 4 of the second wave. Obviously the first wave was much better and I think the casting quality of BB people has gone down significantly
