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.

I know she was somewhat problematic and left early but I always felt Bella from BB21 would have translated decently to the challenge

I half agree. I think she was messy and entertaining, and would provide drama. but she was also a follower

Sorry, not REMOTELY Challenge related at all... But I trust you lot for an honest cut throat opinion, and as a Brit Im curious. What is the US's opinion of the plonker Primce Harry??? After his latest brat whinging interview, is anyone over there buying it???

At this point, Wes is by far the superior ginger

LOL. I'm not really tapped into the general American opinion on Prince Harry, so maybe someone else can weigh in. From what I gather, most Americans just don't care about him good or bad. Meghan was a c-list celebrity, and Americans don't think about the British royal family obviously like people in the UK do. If anything most of the hate I see online from Americans is directed Meghan, not Harry, for being fake, unrelatable, out of touch. But Americans also think the royal family is racist and treated Harry and Meghan horribly. So basically, don't care for Harry or Meghan, but that doesn't mean the royal family doesn't also suck. That's the perspective I get, someone else may feel differently.

Can you link the interview?

I don't think anyone here cares too much about him.  Just family drama that's public because of who they are.  It's like Aaron Rodgers or anyone else desperate for attention.

hes fake and his wife is a scam artist. I read people didn't even get their nasty *** jam from her sold out bullshit website and ones who did were disappointed. Mehgan is a nut and I never heard of her til she seduced that poor prince and made him marry her bratty ***. Beyoncé loves her and wrote that she's an inspiration to all, more like an inspiration to my ***.

Rogan & Theo can do no wrong. Happy to have them on 41! Ashley Cain would be up there too if he didn't have an ugly beard...Joss would too for his bromance with Rogan but he ain't active enough on the challenge scene no more.

lol rewatching the og Battle of the Seasons - on episode one. Belou is so unhinged - she has her baby and old Holly & Lindsay to tell production she's not coming - don't tell her to rush lol also I miss a lot of these people.  I forgot how much I like Lindsay.  So many great people on this season

coral said they would go to the club and below would hand her baby off to cast members who would then just pass the baby around. Said she left her baby at the bar and a cast member or producer had to bring them back...

Psy4potato#69918

Ugh we need Sharon on all stars. She's a gem 

CosmicDiva#69919

I wonder how Holly B would fit in these days. She was at that recent Road Rules reunion event or whatever that someone posted pictures of.

yeah on tik tok. She went live and I caught the last twenty minutes. She said it was crazy that belou brought a baby to the challenge but also for production to let her bring a baby to the challenge..

This was such a wonderfully simple, yet chaotic era of the show.  I miss it ❤️

You shoulda asked her if she would show up as a doula to the challenge to help pregnant challengers like Olivia, Melissa, Gladys, etc. give birth on the show.    

Psy4potato#69924

Belou also has a nanny with her - epic. Forgot about that lol 

Psy4potato#69925

lol Becky and Danny were like "we're not doing this mission" so their partners went solo. I'm enjoying this rewatch 

Psy4potato#69926

lol Lindsay is hosting the half way special - they must have felt bad for her this season so they let her back for it. Sad this is the know challenge she did

honestly the simple nature of the missions and rules of the game mixed with the freedom the cast had is what made it such iconic tv, we Got iconic drama moments but the whole vibe was lighthearted and fun.  I wish All Stars would have went back to that route.
