Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Rivals - Mandi Moyer

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 believe she got a **** job after the challenge, just based off pictures on fb. I'm not mad at it...

Mandi really does remind me from someone off of 90210. Too bad she's from Oregon lol...

The Challenge: Rivals - Mandi Moyer

Original Season: The Challenge: Fresh Meat 2 Status: Veteran Challenges Won: None Rival Teammate: Jenn Grijalva MTV Bio: She may look fresh off the set of 90210, but make no mistake, Mandi's got heart. Since her last stint on Cutthroat, Mandi explains, "I'm going through what I might call a quarter-life crisis." Deciding there's no better cure than a hair-raising competition and a chance to win big money, Mandi is looking forward to Rivals. And while Mandi may find herself involved in a romance -- or two -- it won't be all fun and games this time around, as she's partnered with a no-nonsense veteran with a penchant for verbally eviscerating any girl who gets in her way. Will Mandi's domineering rival crush her spirit and chances at winning? Or will she maintain her resolve and clench a victory?

No reason to get excited... "Veteran" is a term specifically defined in the contract as having appeared in two challenges. It has nothing to do with having done more than "appear," and everything to do with the compensation structure. A "rookie" is someone appearing on his/her first or second challenge. They are paid less.

I know. I just think it's funny. Honestly, she bores me. I just don't find her interesting. I guess others do, though, otherwise MTV wouldn't ask her back.

Same with me. I dislike Mandi, but I guess the drama with Jenn, Wes not trying in FM2 exile and with Laurel was enough to get her asked back.

That makes a lot of sense but I would have never thought that it was apart of the contract. Hmm, no wonder the same people keep coming back, they're getting pay raises. So I guess if we ever see an all rookie challenge than BMP must be having cut backs.

I always forget about her. She's not memorable at all.

Um are you kidding me? She's the only castmember who makes Theresa look like a background character.

Totally kidding. I know who Theresa is, and she's pretty boring too. But back to Mandi... .... ....

I think she tries to be someone she's not. She wants to be thought of as this guys-girl, who licks the floor for $20 and is tough and "proves herself" in challenges, but then she wears make-up to a gulag and always looks overly-perfect, not a hair out of place. Now, there's nothing wrong with either of those things, but they kind of contradict each other. clearly, if you're putting that much thought into your appearance so that not a hair is out of place and you're wearing make-up to gulags, you're not a laid-back guys-girl whose cool with licking floors and all that. you know? Like Jen said, she has no personality. She's fake and trying to be something she's not.

I don't think that's something you could know without personally knowing her...I mean yeah, she looks like that kind of girl, and she very well might be, but there's also just as big a chance that she's not that girl. I know typically "hot" females who are also what you might call "guy's girls", i.e. one of my good friends works at Victoria's Secret and is attractive, so I suppose she's the type of girl we're talking about, yet she still knows pretty close to everything there is to know about football and motocross. I'm just saying it's not impossible for Mandi to be that girl. I personally don't have as much against her as others seem to, yeah she's not very entertaining or athletic, but she's not completely worthless.

I agree completely. It also probably wouldn't take too much during this challenge for her to become someone people want to see more of, if that is what the editors and MTV want.

No you're right, I don't know for sure what's she's like. I'm just commenting from what I gather from what I've seen on TV and the dailies and comments about her from other cast members. I don't have anything against her, really, I'm just not impressed by what I see so far. My opinion may change when I watch this upcoming challenge, who knows.
mph922#20
I actually kind of like Mandi. She isn't really interesting or entertaining but she actually does seem like a pretty genuinely nice girl. I think it might seem like she's not because she kind of suffers from perpetual *****-face. I don't know to explain it, except that she looks like she'd be a *****... but I don't think she is. Plus, she could be worse. She could be Laurel.

Someone elsewhere said that during this challenge Mandi may get more miles on her than a ****** at a NASCAR event.

Gracious Me! That sounds exciting...and painful.

I really like Mandi. I expected to dislike her before Fresh Meat 2 started, and I blame that on my bias of loving Jenn. She turned out to be one of my favorites. Sure she's not center of the drama, but I'd rather a positive presence than a catty *****. I like this pair and hope they make it far.

Somebody's funny "one-liner" from an interview made the actual episode and everyone actually thinks I wore makeup to a damn gulag(I didn't by the way). Yes I'm a girl. But I'm not fake. Just because I like to get dressed up and I own a straigtner doesn't mean I don't like to watch sports and make an easy 20 dollars when I'm a broke *** college kid. No personality? Do you REALLY think I'd go through hours, days, and weeks of the full fledge casting process and they'd really end up choosing someone with no personality? But hey, since i'm such a fake girly girl, if you ever need an outfit to match that stick up your ***, give me a call.

Preach!! Also, this whole statement was hot...

Anyone hear the "potential hookups" podcast with Chet, Mark and Derrick? They said she got breast implants if I'm not mistaken.

I have a stick up my *** because...I think you're boring? lol. That doesn't make any sense. Maybe you do have personality, but MTV has yet to show it. So until MTV shows it, I have a right to be bored by you. lol. sue me.
