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 want to see Sam do another Challenge. Had her and Marie done Rivals II as planned, I think they would have made the final over Camila & Jemmye...

I didn't like that battle of the Exes had so many Old-school Veterans on it. I thought it was so unnecessary...

I want to see Sam do another Challenge. Had her and Marie done Rivals II as planned, I think they would have made the final over Camila & Jemmye. I do not find Emily Schromm attractive. At all. Preston was my favorite guy on Free Agents (would have been Knight had he been there). I'm secretly a Shauvon fan, I've always wanted to see her come back, do great, and win a season.

"I like Dunbar" may be the most shocking opinion in this thread. I didn't know that was a thing.
100x this.

I have so many of these: - I don't mind re-watching CT & Diem hash out their story. - I like Brad & Tori, both together and as individuals. - I sided with Laurel during her spats with Big Easy, Cara Maria and Paula [guess I'm a pretty terrible person lol]. - I LOVED RW: St. Thomas. Laura is one of my favorite cast members. - I'm ok with how the Mean Girls acted on Inferno 2 towards Tonya but not towards Jodi. - The "new school" posse on Rivals II annoyed me [mainly Jemmye, Cooke, Jasmine]. - I really wish Davis came back. Another one of my favorite cast members. - Jill & Pete should have won FM2.
Agreed with the bold!! Jodi took crap for no reason at all, even though I love Veronica and Rachel, Jodi didn't deserve that. Dan was the worst out of anyone and needed to be slapped, I'm glad he lost that challenge.

I would like for Cory & Brian to dominate & actually change some **** up on this show. I would be pleased to see one of them take out Johnny (or CT for Cory).

Trey was horrible on his RW Season but he's not too bad on the challenges. I want to see him back.

I don't much care for Coral. Nanners is overall the best competitor (physical/social/political) to ever play the game The Austin cast as a whole can be termed as "*****" Paula Walnuts is adorable I don't mind the fact that BMP doesn't want to cast Hollywood people...aside from Kim they all suck

Kenny was the glue that kept JEK together and in control of the game

No one should debate this. It's pretty obvious. This thread is even more fun when intoxicated.

CT Should've Retired after Rivals 2.

I don't really like Coral all that much and never have.

I have faith this show will see a season 30.

Trashelle should have stayed home and never came back

I am very proud of everyone for no arguments yet!

I look forward to seeing Brian on The Challenge.

Jillian is good but overrated.

I think there are a lot of good competitors in the new crop of challengers.

I think that's a pretty popular opinion! Brian is hilarious! I think Wes sucks.

Considering people don't think too fondly of it....the Ruins is one of my favorite challenges ever. It had a great cast.

Aside from your dislike of CM, Laurel, and Mandi, I agree with you on almost everything.

I think this show should have a different cast every season. I think this show should have a different cast every season..or at least don't rely on the regulars too much.

The best is yet to come from The Challenge. #optimistic

The first half of that season is GOLD. WES deserves a ******* oscar.

People think she's boring but i've liked Jillian since her RR season.

Pete is not attractive.
richjoe92#269
I thought there was no judgement!!! I thought this was a safe place for my appreciation of Dumbar! lol.

Sam is underrated Marie is underrated Laura is underrated Theresa is EXTREMELY overrated Melinda is underrated Nany is overrated Also I think BOTS2 is the second best challenge in the last 4 years, (rivals 1 being the best)
