Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Rivals - Chris "C.T." Tamburello

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.

CT is cool with Kenny, Nehemiah, Vinny, Tyler, Laurel, Cara Maria, and Emilee in real life. He doesn't mind people like Darrell, Derrick, Abe, and Brad on challenges but seeing as he lives across the country from those guys, he doesn't really keep in touch with them off the shows. Wes & Evan are the only two people from the shows I don't really think he cares for. If anybody else from the shows was in Boston for a weekend, he'd pretty much have no problem hanging out with anybody but I don't think he'd go across the street to hang out with either of those two guys.
On his podcast, CT made it sound like he was really fond of Darrell and would love to hang out with him again

You're right about Darrell and he had great things to say about Derrick too. He seemed aggravated with Kenny so I don't know why Townie would say they're cool/friends. Sure Kenny is his friend on FB but so are Cancun Derek, Sarah Rice and Pete from FM2. I really think CT prefers the older cast. I'm sure CT will be doing a weekly viewing party like he did for FM2 but I haven't seen any info on it yet so it looks like his first Rivals appearance will be a charity event to raise awareness for domestic violence up in Montreal. Good for him! fight4itcharity: Jammin' 4 Awareness on June 30th featuring CT of MTV tickets@fight4it.ca :)! about 5 hours ago via web

CT is a beast , period.

I like C.T. and his "Boston mumble", plus I think he is one of the most attractive guys (if not most attractive) on these shows. He is also a great athlete and fun to watch. I'm glad he's back.

Favorite person on the challenge! Only reason I watched Cutthroat as long as I did. Bad Boys Unite! or whatever...
brunett#68
I like CT, a lot. By far, the best challenger. I'm disappointed they didn't put him on the Challengers team on The Ruins - I believe his presence would have evened out the playing field.
SpoilerOn another note - Laurel and Mandi both go for him??? I'm excited to see how the drama unfolds!

Watching Inferno 1 right now, just getting warmed up for Rivals!! This guy is gonna kill it lol Even though Wes is my favorite, i can't wait to see CT shut him down! Hopefully Johnny will get it to, they just haven't shown it yet.

Thanks for the message! The trailer scenes with Wes/CT alone make me want it to start already!! Are you done, Now it's my turn!!!!!

CT is scary. When he is talking to Wes, you can practically tell Wes is pooping himself.

One name : Landon

Landon would beat CT in a long distance final but CT would absolutely smash him head-to-head in any sort of physical elimination round. People need to **** with all this talk about these 170 pound manlets like Landon, Wes, and Alton beating CT 1-on-1 because it's not gonna happen.

I had a feeling you'd be the first to reply. I stick by what I said, Landon is the best challenger I've seen on these shows..."manlet" or not.

I like CT and I think he would beat everyone most of the time but it seems like you and many others think it's all about size.

Has CT and Landon ever competed against each other? Hard to tell who would beat who really. CT is big, strong and tough but, Landon is fast, agile, smart. I would love to see a head to head with these guys.

There was this one mission on Inferno 2 where you had to pull yourself up a zipline and Landon and CT went head to head. Landon had the best with 33.5 meters and CT had 3rd best with 26.2 meters.

Makes sense. Is that all strength or is it speed too? We can also say CT over the years has become more of a threat, and Lando has stayed the same, but still amazing.

I think CT and Landon are the debatable #1 and #2 and can/will constantly switch spots with every time they compete.

People while ct is probably strongest, I guarantee if it were physical between him and Landon it would be a lot closer then u think. It's not all about who weighs most and benches and squats the most. Per pound Landon is a lot stronger then ct and if it came down to a wrestling match Landon would most likely win. He's a state wrestling champion or something. And oh btw how many of these challenges has ct won, and how many has Landon won? Case closed. Landon absolutely has smoked the competition despite having bad teammates, getting screwed over multiple times and bad breaks. Ct is def a beast. But Landon is too. And Landon is like 190 pounds at 5'10 or something not that small

Not case closed. It's very debatable. The case is never closed. Story is never ended. Every opinion is arguable.

I remember that. Also, I would say Landon = Michael Jordan of the Challenges - He makes his teammates look much better than they are, he's won three Challenges out of four attempts, He's very skilled and well rounded, Good leadership, ect. CT = Lebron James of the Challenges- He has all the size and talent in the world but him and his teammates crumble in crunch time, he's been in two finals and lost both, questionable leadership and decision making, No Finals wins, ect. And just like Lebron, he'll probably never be looked at as the best until he wins the big one. Who knows ? That might be this Challenge.

in your opinion, is there anybody else that could beat CT in a long distance final-type event, or just Landon?
burythestar3#84
I don't even think it's really close. I agree with Lebron Jordan comment. That was said perfectly. Landon is a way better overall athlete. Better teammate, better at mental game. The only thing ct has on him is size and maybe strength but even that is debatable
foofighter7#85
haaahaahaha are you kiddin me....CT is a great competitor as johnny and kenny said in their last podcast with derrick, but landon would demolish him bc CT would prolly **** up the rules seeing as he prolly is the dumbest challenger on these things

I actually think CT is smarter than Landon when it comes to strategizing for the challenges.

I am going to throw out all I've learned about grammar and punctuation to read what you said... Okay, now that I picked up my brain cells off the floor, I will say that what you said is debatable. To call him the dumbest challenger ever is hilarious. How many missions has he gotten in 1st place in? Quite a lot. How many times has be been considered the strongest on his team? Many. The only challenge Landon and CT competed on together, they were both the top players of their team. While Landon beat CT at the zipline mission, I think CT did better on most of the other missions.

Landon won for four. Miz won three.

On the zipline mission on inferno 2, CT stated that he did not care if his team won. He made it clear he just wanted to beat Derrick's score to win the life shield and win the TV. Not saying he would have topped Landon anyways, but it isn't totally fair to compare their scores when Landon gave it 110% to win the mission and CT just wanted to get to 26 to win the life shield.

I don't buy that. I remember him saying they wouldn't throw it since they all wanted the tv. You can still see him inching his way up right until the very end.
