Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Unpopular Opinions

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 could not care less about people hooking up on challenges. Nor am I invested in the series couples...

The top "strategic players" of all time are all women. Coral, Veronica & Susie...

The top "strategic players" of all time are all women. Coral, Veronica & Susie...plus Emily (RR2). Evelyn would have been the best ever if she had a better personality.

Mandi is actually a decent competitor, probably at least on par with Jonna if not better.
:encouragement: I'd say she's right under Cara Maria!

Laurel is the greatest female competitor ever.

I think Devyn deserved to be in the final of FA, luck was on her side. And I also think FA was one of the best seasons since Cutthroat. Hows that for an unpopular opinion? Me and the group of people I watch the show with all loved FA.

If mike and Leroy had participated in the last part if the final in rivals I think they would have won, mikes brains would have found that key faster than light

I definitely agree with the women. They really ran the show.

The Challenges should be treated like a reality show and not some high level sports event where you have to train for months to compete.

Amen.

I've never liked TJ as a Host. He has no personality to me.
Dash_Vegas#132
I'm still holding on to to the possibility that Sydney from FM2 will be back somehow... Also, regarding FM Jesse, Linette, Aviv, Sydney, Luke <3, Pete, Carley, and Noor > all the FM regulars we have/have had.
Youssarian#133
Cooke has a lot of potential, but she hasn't shown to be on the Laurel/Evelyn/Rachel level. Ryan Kehoe is one of my favorite people ever.
kvm1977#134
I actually like TJ as a host when they let him speak without a script. He just can't read or remember lines.
Challenge 17#135
I dont think Ashil is hot and would be fine with her never coming back, I mean she should have quit before the face off instead of wasting a spot just to quit.

Nick Brown is my boy since he is from one city over

Mannnnn me too! We need some Sydney back. Sydney, Nia & Latoya all in one house....

The Challenge should be considered a sport now. Football Basket-Ball Baseball Soccer Hockey The Challenge :D
Dkristoff#139
Rachel is so overrated and I think if cara Maria keeps up with her crossfit she will be a better competitor than Rachel was/is, also I think the best female competitor ever is Evelyn
kvm1977#140
Sometimes I think, despite the fact I love her, that Rachel R is overrated Sometimes I think, despite the fact I hate her, that Irulan is underrated Katie should never be mentioned as "one of the worst ever" I hate every single person from the Portland cast that has done a challenge so far--even Johnny
Youssarian#141
I would love to see Anastasia back!

THIS! I agree with this so much. I hate that the challenges have become some extreme sport and I think it's ridiculous that people train for the challenges now.

Nany is actually kinda ugly

I would have liked to have seen a Real World season with Evan, Kenny, Ryan, Evelyn, Diem, Casey & Aviv.

Watching the seasons over and over again I've really gained a lot of respect for Ryan. Definitely a solid human being and decent competitor.

I think you'd like Averey. She's hot plus never stays away from conflict.

The Diem/CT love story is one of the best things to ever come out of the Challenge franchise.
