Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Rivals II - Anastasia & Jessica

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.

Well, we are on a RW board. Plus, Nia/Averey would've been a much better choice for Rivals 2. Considering their genuine animosity (not to mention their probable athleticism). I like Ana for the most part but Jessica grates. Everything from her voice to her personality to her weird beady eyes. I'm convinced she has no soul.
Camille#64
We already know Anastasia is sensitive and will cry over tiny things. Imagine her in this environment! Did you see her slapping around CT in that promo?
keviie#65
People are really understamating this team. Remeber waht everybody said about Jonna and Jasmin on Rivals, they won a challenge, won a Jungle, and made it to 4th! they did so good. So you never know!
Feel-X#66
You are right, but they both seem to be very sensitive. I don't think they are tough enough for a challenge. They both cry a lot.
VegasAtSea#67
Part of me feels that Anastasia will be a future Paula, doing numerous challenges. She's a source of entertainment, and who knows, she may prove to me more athletic than she looks. I feel that these two Portland girls were not the right girls to cast. Too bad that Nia wouldn't have worked out. I would have LOVED to have seen Joi in some fashion also.

Exactly. I don't think.either is grimy enough to be in this game. Bird hates taking sides but thats what needs to be done here.

I'm pretty sure after Averey and Johnny made themselves look like complete p***ies on the Real World, Averey would not want to fear for her life by living with Nia again, nonetheless being parters with her. And I know Johnny isn't on this challenge but he really made himself look like a ****** on the Real World too. Leaving the house because he is scared? Really? You really think she is going to try and "kill" you on a reality TV show? If Averey and Johnny were scared of Nia on the Real World, they probably should not take their chances with anyone on a challenge.
Anonymous#70
Well, good. They paired the over emotional girls together, and they are noobs.. This team is gonna be out ASAP.
Fullback12#71
From both trailers it looks like Ana is going to get into some serious drama... while Jessica on the other hand is just going to be there like you will hardly notice her... I have a gut feeling that if there is a next challenge that Nia will be on it.
Sloan#72
I don't know this for sure (maybe this has already been addressed), but I would bet that Averey would refuse to do a Challenge. From interviews I've heard with her, during that whole fight with Nia she placed two separate phone calls to production and they took forever to respond despite the fact that they lived downstairs. She hates BMP, and I don't blame her. I wouldn't want to get stuck in an environment like that again.

I don't keep up with her on twitter or know how she feels about the show now but I remember about a month ago on an Andrew Kirk interview Averey said she would def. do a challenge. She also answered the question that if she could form a battle of the seasons team it would be herself, Johnny, Jordan, Joi or Nia and stated that she would consider even though she hates Nia. So I find that quite interesting. Did she say she was done with BMP now that the season is over and everything has aired?

The problem with doing early interviews is that they are only supposed to reflect how they felt at any particular time, given what the audience had seen to that point. It's an almost impossible standard to maintain, and some just can't do it well. They are also obligated under their contract to participate in a challenge during a certain time period after their season airs.
Seminole#75
So, if they don't want to do a challenge...they are forced to? Cause if so, I can see why certain people want to quit so early...cause they didn't want to be there in the first place.

Usually they are Contractual Obligated to do at least 1 Challenge.
Fullback12#77
Yup from the past 3 seasons (not including RW:Portland) has done at least one challenge... the entire RW:Vegas has done at least one challenge. RW: San Diego 6 out of 7 has done a challenge and RW: St.Thomas 4 out of 7 have done a challenge.
Youssarian#78
I think the whole thing with being contractually obligated...I think that's just if BMP REALLY wants them on a Challenge, but I'm pretty sure that usually they respect their wishes if they don't want to do one. It's just in case there's someone they absolutely are dying to have on a Challenge, I think.
Fresh Meat#79
Even then, 4 out of 8 Portland cast-members have done a Challenge already.
Fullback12#80
Yeah exactly... I really want to see Johnny from RW:Portland do a challenge... wonder if he would

Probably not. He "feared for his life" by living with a 110 lbs, wanna be gangsta, manly looking chick. If he was a **** and moved out because of her, I doubt he could handle 25+ aggressive personalities in a challenge setting. And even if he did do a challenge, he would be the first guy sent home.

1. Nia weighs more than 110 lbs 2. Nia was threatening to assault him and Averey in their sleep with weapons He probably won't do a challenge though because he has talked about how much he dislikes BMP.

Sorry this is off topic from Rivals 2 He hates production and went off on them after the whole Nia thing so I highly doubt he will do one and I doubt they will even ask him. This is the link of him talking about BMP. Real World Portland Johnny Interview - Bus Driver's Route - YouTube
Seriously???? In this interview, he just said that he would love to do a challenge and stuff for MTV. He said that his relationship with producers from MTV is really great (Mark: 26:00 ---). He doesn't like the producers from BMP. I'm sure we're going to see him doing one in the near future if MTV casts the people and not BMP.

BMP produces the Challenges as well as The Real World.

Casting the people and production the show is completly different and if I remember correctly MTV chooses the cast. That's why we won't see any Kenny, Evan or Adam R. (not sure about him!) on a challenge again. Just in case. I could be 100 % wrong too, but it would make sense since those three have ruined the reputation of MTV and their products.2218

MTV only approves the cast for the Challenges. The do not produce the challenge. It is produced under contract to MTV by BMP. The MTV producers he is likely speaking of likely Jackie French, the development SVP and executive producer and Scooter Alpert, the hands-on producer of the Reunion show and other promo stuff shot at 1515 Broadway in NYC. Jackie and Scooter are always at the reunion wrap party held at Scooter's favorite dive on the upper west side. One of vevmo's members has been there several times and knows both MS French and @Scooter5000. They both have developed great relationships with some cast members over the years.

Yes, except for those special things noted above.

This is the worst team interview that I've so far. Although they are trashing eachother I think they are saying BS and making absolutely no sense.
Meelz#91
I like it. They actually hate each other.
