Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Rivals II - Robb & Derek

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 know I'm happy about that.

I always thought Evan was disrespectful towards Nehemiah and his religion/lifestyle because he just didn't like that Nehemiah, who is a smart, straight-forward guy wouldn't take his crap like so many others were. Anyway, to stay on topic, I'm thrilled to see the tall, sexy ginger back on my tv screen. I think he's so hot. And he's also so nice. Derrick is cool too. This is the nice guy team.

No no no not Derrick but Derek, don't ever again get the two mixed up way different competitors. One's a legend-Derrick and the other not so much-Derek.

Why is Evan not coming back? Has he been barred for Tonyagate, or did he retire?

He did not choose to retire but he was retired by MTV.

It was made known to the Vevmo community in other places on these forums.

Ok, thanks

Robb is a competitor who,is probably going to be an outcast. Idk why but he doesn't fit into any alliances in the game. BUT he is a good competitor.

I actually think Derek is the better competitor of the two

Heck no!!! Robb is a way better athlete and competitor in the game and he would last longer. Derek is not a threat!

Neither are a threat--Derek's the better athlete. It isn't just about size. I don't think Robb brings anything to the table to be honest. I'd definitely rather run a final with Derek than Robb--it isn't even close.
Fullback12#45
Here's the difference between these two Derek can run longer and faster and has better endurance, Robb is more physical, stronger and more athletic. Daily challenge wise Robb would probably be better, but in a Final Derek would probably be better because a Final is based solely on endurance.

I agree with this. But I feel like this team could go far. Big could.

Robb's strategy in this elimination was aids. he has such a massive reach advantage over everyone else that all he has to do is get low and swing continuously.

a little late sorry but I had no idea about this, i did hear something before the casts took off this season that kenny and evan did a podcast where they were quoting as saying "nothing more than fans of the show now". but I had no idea that mtv banned/retired evan from the challenges, do you know if kenny banned too?

You must know nothing of Tonya Cooley's suit against MTV, BMP, Santucci and Starkman. Here is a link to the story: Tonya Cooley 'Real World' Lawsuit: MTV Settles 'Toothbrush Rape' Lawsuit

Yeah I knew about that lawsuit for some time, that happened on the Ruins though which was a long time ago, yet they both came back for challenges after that, FM2, Rivals, I'm guessing once the settlement was done is when they were actually banned from the show which was in 2012 . I still find it weird they still work with them though like on after shows and stuff like that. Does anyone know if either of them ever publicly talked about the incident and their banning from the show like on twitter or something?, I remember watching a funny Kenny Retirement video, not sure if that had anything to do with the banning though.

Some things to ponder: At the beginning, MTV/BMP said it never happened. Then MTV/BMP said in court, whatever happened Tonya brought on herself. Then both sides took depositions under oath. Then MTV/BMP settled. Obviously, before a decision was made to settle the case, it was in MTV/BMP's best interests to support their two accused cast members by continue to employ them. Not to do so could have been used in court as an admission of their culpability. After testimony (depositions), clear liability must have been established that led to a ban of some sort. I can speculate as to why one or more participants continue to occasionally do things for MTV, but that speculation would be a slippery slope. Not going there.
