Behind the Screen: The Challenge: What Ifs

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.

What if CT and Adam beat Johnny and Tyler in the last elimination before the final on Rivals I. Would they have beaten Kenny and Wes...

What if CT and Adam beat Johnny and Tyler in the last elimination before the final on Rivals I? Would they have beaten Kenny and Wes? What if Zach and Trey didn't get DQ'd in the elimination on Rivals II against Leroy and Ty? I think they could have done some serious damage had they made the final, and IMO they would've taken Jordan and Marlon's spot on Day 1.

That would have never happened because ******* Adam King was determined to throw that elimination no matter what.

I hate Adam. Even before I found out he did that I could never stand him.

Was there ever proof that he did throw the elimination? Anything written or said? I don't doubt it though.

That was just really dumb of Adam... Like, you had CT as your partner... You could have won the whole thing.

IF (a big if) Adam threw it, I think the reasoning is either 1) Johnny promised him a deal. (unlikely) 2) Adam wanted to spite CT more than he wanted to win. 3) Adam decided he'd rather lose an elimination than embarrass himself in a final if he wasn't feeling confident about it. 4) Adam is SO naive that Jenn asked him to lose (sarcastically maybe), and he did it.... FOR TRUE LOVE! 5) Adam is SO naive that he believes Kenny and Johnny are his real friends and he did it....FOR FRIENDSHIP! I'm not a fan of Adam... I don't much care for CT either but I don't like seeing him held back by other people either. Inventing the Banana Backpack during cutthroat was pretty fantastic.
toenails#159
I don't think Adam ever truly got over the fact that CT beat him up on national television. He seems to be the kind of person who holds grudges.

well you don't have Adam saying yeah I throw the elimination, you only have CT saying that he heard this rumor that he throw the elimination, I do wonder from who CT heard that.

At that point just end it--that's horrible

LMAO @ the Degrassi cast on Challenges. Half of them wouldn't even be able to drink.

Literally spit out my drink laughing because of how bad an idea this is.

That would suck. I would never even watch MTV again.

Someone put this up in on an earlier page, but I'll answer it again. That would mean that Kenny would have likely picked Theresa. Either way if Kenny & Theresa won the first challenge and sent in Darrell & Laurel to face Jillian & Pete, then Jillian & Pete would have been eliminated and Darrell & Laurel most likely would have made the final challenge. I think Darrell & Laurel would have won. Kenny & Theresa in 2nd. Landon & Carley in 3rd. Jenn & Noor in last.
Why do you think Kenny would pick Theresa over Cara Maria? CM had the best stats, and that's all they had to go on at that point. Just curious.

What if Derrick & Diem hadn't stupidly thrown away their advantage in numbers by picking Theo & Chanda for exile? What if they did the smart thing and picked Wes & Casey or Tina & Kenny? I think those 2 teams pretty much would have been a lock to face off in that exile unless one of them managed to win the pardon. How different would the final have been if Derrick & Diem made wiser moves as the power team?

Possibly. Bc theo and chanda would have sided with Dietrich and diem and then I think they would have had darrell on their side. So the match up would have been Tina/Kenny vs wes/Casey. Which unless tina and kenny lost to wes and casey, the outcome would have been the same. Bc if they threw in tina she would have even more so thrown Derrick and diem in. Would have been cool to see Derrick and diem vs darrell and aviv vs theo and chanda though. That would have been a very close final.

Have you ever heard of something called a comma? It's really cool how it works.

I think the "Are you the one" cast would be a great addition because they don't have a multi-season show, but none of the other shows(especially degrassi, they're actors!). Are you the one was basically a big real world house with love matches.

What if Dan Renzi was not selected by the Good Guys to go into the final men's inferno, and they picked CT, Abram, or Derrick instead? Do you think the Bad ***** would try to throw the last mission to give the life shield to the nominated person and send Dan in (à la Katie on Inferno 1)?
lionheart#173
The guys probably would have to save themselves, but I don't see the girls doing it since they appreciated Dan's team morale. Not that it matters since none of the females won any lifeshields anyway.

Kenny's quote was something along the lines...you want the girl most comparable to you. That would have been Theresa not Cara IMO

Good question. I would think so

And Degrassi is a scripted show. Why would they even put legitimate actors on a reality show.

Do they even speak English because it would be even more pointless to have people who only speak Spanish on the show when most of the cast wouldn't be able to understand them.

they never talked English on the show, so who knows.

What if the Vets on Gauntlet III had listened to Bananas and threw Easy into the gauntlet vs Evan; since they ended up playing Sliders I think Evan still would have won. Without Easy, the main narrative for The Gauntlet III is nonexistent, how could they have possibly edited the final to make it look close when clearly the Easy-less Vets would destroy the Rookies?
