Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Power Rankings

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.

Why is Preston above Derek and Knight?

Preston performed better than Knight during that season IMO, and as for Derrk, he was out way too early to really judge him. I think Robb, Preston and Derek can be interchangeable.

how did ty outperform leroy?

how did ty outperform leroy?
Smile There were actually multiple occasions when ty outperfromed Leroy. In the "Blind Leadin the Blind challenge," Leroy was too scared to get shocked so Ty basically dragged Lee through that whole challenge. Leroy even admitted himself that Ty was the reason they got through. Also in the frog Splash challenge, Leroy was knocked off the beam pretty early (not as early as Trey or Preston but still), and Ty made it all the way to the end, but he fell off.

The only challeng/elimination where Preston outperformed Knight was in the "Rampage Challenge" and "Breaking On Through". every other challenge Knight outperformed Preston. So no Preston should be lower on that list.

Fresh Meat#77

Why is Nany decisively higher than Jonna and Camila? IMO Emily, Paula, Camila, and Cooke should very easily be the top four with Nany and Jonna trailing behind. Imight put Cara eeven lower because holy shit she regressed that season.

anon23423234235#79

I might put Cara Maria lower than Diem and Aneesa, MIGHT.   Nany did better than camila on the first few challenges but then Camila and Jemmye  improved. So yes i'll switch over Camila and Nany.

You're right she was terrible

maverick85#83

There was some missions that she did pretty bad, like when she wasn't moving because her pads were on her ankles, and then she ran into Cooke lol

infamous#84

Darn, I'd love to redo this for every season and then compile an aggregate power ranking according to Vevo and then eventually make an all time list (or at least top 25/50). Sad

At least she got up that ramp which is more than we can say for Aneesa Camila and Jemmye.

Eh, Camila showed her worth in other missions in the season (falling in one of the swimming missions, yet STILL beating Jemmye to the checkpoint, guiding Jemmye and Knight/Preston in the blind leading the blind mission, keeping up with Emily in climbing up a ladder in one of the first missions).

v123#87

I like Cara but she didnt do great on Rivals 2. was she terrible? i dont know... but she was vastly outperformed by cooke every single time and even when compared to the other girls, she still looked bad.

game of inches - NA

XXX games - bad chemistry with cooke(both their faults)

mind over splatter -Theresa smoked her up the ladder

stumped - bad chemistry with cooke(both their faults)

Frog smash - one of the girls that fell off early

frenemies - irrelevant

blind leading the blind - couldnt stop crying about the electric shocks. cooke was pissed at her

swingers - horrible

rampage - ugh

color correction - her first good performance in the mission the entire season

that a pretty lackluster performance for somebody that was very experienced and on her 6th challenge.

v123#88

I might put Cara Maria lower than Diem and Aneesa, MIGHT.   Nany did better than camila on the first few challenges but then Camila and Jemmye  improved. So yes i'll switch over Camila and Nany.

Diem and Aneesa did great that season. They had horrible communicatin and teamwork in some of the challenges(color correction) but they still put up good performances

game of inches - 3rd place

XXX games - did really well in 75% of the challenge and couldve placed really well(and maybe even win) but diem's harness got in the way at the end

mind over splatter - average

stumped - great performance, narrowly missed 1st place

frog smash - average

blind leading the blind - benefitted from wes and CT but still, good performance without either of them constantly complaining like cara

swingers - great performance, narrlow missed 1st

rampage  and color correcton - bad

they were extremely consistent all season long ntil the end
