Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Rivals II - The Island of Misfit Challen

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 love running challenges and checkpoints of puzzles. hopefully this one has some...

PLEASE let Marlon/Jordan be the final team. I hope that Cooke/Cara Maria wins this...

PLEASE let Marlon/Jordan be the final team. I hope that Cooke/Cara Maria wins this. I think they deserve it more than Emily/Paula.
TwoStrikes#4
I agree. pleaseeeeeee let it be Jordan/Marlon. Not only cause I like them as a team but cause it would be great to see frank and Johnny fall over in their kayak

What do you mean by deserve? I am also completely shocked that Debut Album is rooting for a team that has a Fresh Meat member on it over a team that does not. My whole world has been turned upside down.

Wait, how so? Emily/Paula always outperformed CM/Cooke and won 6 missions. I take you rooting for CM as you slowly coming around to the FM kids. Baby steps...

Cooke and Cara Maria had the disadvantage of going first in every challenge. I wish in the future they would sequester the competitors so they could keep the challenge more even. Paula and Emily still did an outstanding job, I'm not taking anything away from their victories.

They did, but some of their performances were awful (see the Swingers mission).

There's no question Emily & Paula were the best female team during the missions...none

I agree I would have wanted to see how many times Paula and Emily would have gotten first place if they went first every challenge. I wish there was a challenge were the order didn't play a factor at all but sadly I don't think that will ever happen

I wonder how the challenge would have gone if Cooke was sent home with Naomi and Sarah got Cara maria

What is history is history. Speculation doesn't earn you or any challenge competitor a "do-over." Sometimes in life, **** just happens.

Don't get me Wrong I still Dislike The Fresh Meat. It's just that I feel Like Cooke/Cara Maria have earned it more by Actually going into the Jungle and having to fight their way through the game. Emily/Paula did very well and I will admit they are a stronger team than Cooke/Cara Maria But I hate 1/2 of that Team(Paula). While with Cooke/Cara Maria I like Cooke and I Find Cara Maria tolerable(And that's saying a lot).

They probably would've gotten second place.

lol the pic of CT/Wes looks funny they look like theyre in pain, theres an even funnier one of Cara Maria. And wtf happened to Wes' hair, its like faded to blonde
ItalianBeats#17
I don't know why, but I feel like this season flew right on by... Nonetheless, I'm still excited for tonight's finale and reunion!
RealCynic#18
I knew it was them.
TwoStrikes#19
Reminds me of the ruins final
JL81790#20
This is a very Ruins-ish kind of final
Nightwolf#21
What is this bull****? Cara Maria and Cooke finish like an hour before Emily and Paula and get NO head start?!
Camille#22
Does anyone else think the prize money isn't THAT impressive? Especially considering the torture they are put through. lol.
Fresh Meat#23
Yeah, this final reminds me of the Ruins a bunch too. Let's got CT!

Yes, which is good IMO
TwoStrikes#25
I would be happy with $62.5k..... Anyway, it would be unfair if ANYONE had a head start cause there's was the possibility of someone finishing all 3 puzzles super fast and having a 3 hour head start. Now how fair would that have been?
JL81790#26
My ideal pipe dream scenario is a mid challenge partner switch so CT and Bananas can both win. Oh to dream...

62.5k for a free vacation with some competition--I'd say it is fine
jojorules#28
ct and wes destroying them all in first part really meant nothing other than being able to advance

125,000 to 35,000 is a pretty huge drop.

I don't care they reset thing but that would be fair--solve a simple puzzle Seriously, a 4 year old should be able to solve that in an hour
