Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Rivals II - Leroy & Ty

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.

Cant wait to see them perform. But that picture...

The Challenge: Rivals II - Leroy & Ty

Bacchus ·
[*]It was bad enough that Ty sent Leroy home on Battle of the Exes, but Leroy had to stir the pot even further by airing his grievances on the internet, calling Ty "crazy." Although Ty and Leroy have the athleticism to perform in challenges, Ty's temperamental personality could put a wrinkle in their plans. Leroy worries, "Ty is good with getting in people's heads, but it's definitely a roll of the dice when you're playing with him. You never know." Leroy makes up for Ty's unpredictability with his quick wit and good looks, winning him points with the girls. Ty reveals, "Leroy is very popular with people in the house. He's going to make everyone laugh, and he'll make us a lovable team." Ever the ladies' man, Leroy's wandering eye lands on a veteran girl, but pursuing a romance could jeopardize their game. Can these two keep the crazy under control or are they doomed to make another early exit? 2149

Leroy, I hope that you weren't expecting a win this time.

All I gotta say is poor Leroy, Ty is a subpar competitor. I hope they make it at least halfway through, at best in the finals. Doubt they'd take first or second place though.

I think Ty is going to be Leroy's downfall in this. He'll either gas out or cause more problems than just CT banking his head off of something.

I still think they have the lamest reasoning for being paired up (even lamer than the twitter war), but Leroy is my favorite Real World male of all time (and I've seen 98% of the seasons), and Ty is just always making good television. He'll do anything. Having Leroy as a partner is a bonus because he's not only athletic, but he's so likable, charming, and popular. With that said, he's also no punk and is not scared of C.T., so I can see him standing up for himsef and not taking any crap from the drama kings on this show. Also, I want to see Nia and Ty on the same challenge.

Anyone know why they didn't get Adam to be Tys partner? Is he banned or something? I'm just saying this pair makes no sense when Ty was punched in the face by Adam but they get Leroy instead.

I also want to know this. I know that Adam Royer bashed MTV but then apologized and even kept in touch with some of the casting calls people. They really need to bring this guy back, he's funny as hell and there's a lot of punks like him in the real real world than guys like Derek or wierdos like Frank.

Adam's not allowed back on the show per MTV's rules, not BMP He was originally going to be on Battle of the Exes paired with Nany but was dropped at the last minute when MTV refused to have his liability on the show.
Gucci Mane#11
The explanation for making them rivals is one of the dumbest things ive ever read. Lol, they are really reaching with that one. I wouldn't be surprised if Leroy read that and was like "I called you crazy? When? Time to make my twitter account private.'

Happy to see Leroy he is madd cool and funny too, i dont really care for Ty, hope he betters his competition!

Dang, what did he do to get banned by MTV.

Too big of a liability

What a shame... I wonder if Ryan from RW:NO would do a challenge... I doubt it though.

And CT or Abram aren't? Bull****. Adam should be invited back for sure. I think he would do well.

I was told MTV considered him too big of a liability and not just for the Challenge but for actions on RW. I cannot speak on why CT and Abram are allowed but I'm guessing it partially is because they are fan favorites.

Well here is my thing about Adam, he broke some stuff in their house on the real world and hit Ty, I won't say he punched Ty, he hit Ty. Okay, now, take a look at Jasmine, she broke a huge plant and her mic on Rivals, broke a picture frame on Battle of the Exes, and she may or may not toss a trash can across the room on this new one (it might be someone else) and she also punched Tyrie. So she has done the same stuff Adam has, but she gets asked back. And I don't really think it will be that detrimental to the show if Jasmine isn't on a challenge.

Does anybody have a clue why Ty deleted his twitter and is it Challenge related?

Liability comes about in a variety of ways depending upon the circumstances. Insurance companies and attorneys look at it as "risk" which they believe to be quantifiable. Also, sometimes in settling things with property owners (like casino people used to getting their own way), the owners insist on certain conditions and the production company has little choice but to comply.

To be fair to Ty, Dunbar and Tyrie would be one of the 2 best teams if there was a team weightlifting challenge. Of course, once you factor in everything else, they are not even close to the best team. I hope there is a miscommunication though and he doesn't really think Tyrie and Dunbar are the strongest team.

If Adam is too big of a liability then Nia must be a straight up Health Hazard. How many times did Leroy tell Adam he needs to check himself before something like this happens? Leory isn't perfect himself and he has made plenty of mistakes but I really like the little pearls of wisdom he shows sometimes. I think he's a fan favorite because of that. People get so carried away and he is often one of the cooler heads. In the episode the other night he was one of the few people CT actually would listen to and settle himself down for. He also has that knack for being fairly well liked so that will keep you in the house alone.
