Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Rivals II - Discussion (Spoilers)

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.

Leroy and Emily would be vets because they were on 2 other challenges

I found this on one of Jonna's friend Instagram, the caption caught my attention. Maybe I am reading too much into it, but Jonna has also been posting picture of herself running with frank: 1418

Psht, has she ever lost one on one? If there was ever a duel, she would win, hands down. The woman is a beast. On I3, G3, and the island it was always "oh Evelyn is going to win, so theres no point in trying". I just wana see what she cant do. She's a perfect example of how just cause youre a chick and youre short and not physically huge or tall doesnt mean you cant be strong and compete with the men, Ive never seen a bunch of guys so threatened by a girl like on the Island. I love Ev, I wish she would come back :( this season is sounding pretty boring, I'm going to watch the next season cause of Diem, it reminds me of duel 1.

I have a hard time wrapping my head around this comment. 1) How would you know? 2) Why do so many challenge cast members say that she, Laurel and Emily are the three strongest/most competitive cast members on any recent challenge?

On a podcast on January she stated that she was going to retired after her third challenge. So I guess she have better things to do.

Frank is gonna get humiliated and ran over on this Challenge. Kid was having a panic attack on BOTS against a cast full of scraps, he's gonna be in a world of hurt when the big dogs come back to feed.

All these big dogs, they are all couple of years older since the last challenge. They may or may not be on the same physical level they were couple of years ago.

Wow a whole year, you make it sound like it's been 5 years since Johnny, CT, and Tyler did a show. CT could be 40 and still have no issues throwing Frank's scrawny *** around like a Cabbage Patch doll.

These guys are no pro athletes! I could care less if CT throws around Frank or not! But expecting all these guys to come back and physically dominate like they did in the previous challenges is a bit too much!
townie#43
Yeah, and these guys also aren't your common ham & egger punching a clock 40 hours each week living off McDonald's either. Johnny, CT, and Tyler are as big of gym rats as you'll find.

@TheOfficial_CT perfect 10... CT wins the dunk contest #InertiaTours #MTV http://twitter.yfrog.com/nly4momhjedkyjgreqjycrsjz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA7n8_au28U Inertia guy. Can we cross out Syrus, Nate, Nick, Laura and Jess? Since they are all there too.? Just a reminder, because I just like this stuff after the challenge happens. Molds13 would you mind if you keep your list with all the people that got a call this time and show it to us after the challenge?

He's not exactly scrawny, but I see your point. Also, I've become "friends" with one of the PDX cast members since we have basically the same background. He said that the entire cast was asked if they would do a challenge, but only 2 be on the next one. Jessica is doing the Spring Break thing with Intertia so it can't be her.

Evelyn was the best all around competitor. Evelyn was a beast physically and mentally. Emily is a beast physically but mentally she just isnt on the same level. She may surpass or already ahve surpassed her physically though. I love Emily so I hope she is on the next challenge. I know Evelyn wont be but that would be great if she was as well. She has grown on me over the challenges.
I've always like Ev, but I personally would take Rachel over any of the other females any day.

And Mark long said the Gauntlet 2 was his last challenge, your point is?? The fact she stated she desperately needed the money on national television says a couple of things about her challenge career... We will be seeing her for a long time.

Mark Long was the second best competitor on the Duel 2 at the age of 37. And a top competitor on battle of the exes at 40.

Johnny isn't even near 40 lol

Honestly, it would depend what the elimination round was. Emily, Evelyn, Rachel & Laurel are the elite girls but they could all lose to each other depending what the elimination round was. I wish Evelyn would have been on the Duel II because I would have loved to have seen her face Rachel or even Aneesa in a one on one situation. I still pray there's a Duel III someday with all 4 of them. Until that happens I don't know how anyone could claim any of them would destroy another one. Evelyn is the smartest of the group though--I don't think there's much room for debate on that one.

molds were you doing a rumored cast like that in past specaultions

So how would you figure Jodi into that group of women?

I would put Jodi in the next group simply because I don't think she has the same killer instinct as the other 4. Mark Long made a comment (I'm paraphrasing) that "Emily competes almost like a dude" and that's very true. I never got that sense from Jodi. Nothing against Jodi but I'd put her in the next group. I could even see putting Emily, Evelyn & Laurel alone in the top group then having Rachel and Jodi as the second tier if we're JUST talking about them as competitors and leaving out the strategy aspect of the game.

Id like to see those 4 with Sarah, Diem, Camila, Ashley, Marie, Carley and Kelly Anne all compete on a Duel 3.

Evelyn is committed elsewhere at least for the next three years, and likely beyond.

I don't know what's worse; saying this or saying Jisela could tear up Coral. I genuinely hope you're kidding. Flora was the second worst female on the female team besides Sharon on the original BOTSeasons.

Aneesa would eat Evelyn alive in a physical elim. Yeah, I said it.
