Behind the Screen: Chris "CT" Tamburello

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'm not a huge fan as he has some anger management issues. That being said, he has brought ratings to past challenges and I am sure there is a great guy underneath all that vitriol...

Chris "CT" Tamburello

93TTSupra ·

Hey guys, I know many people here don't like CT, but I love his personality, he's entertaining to watch, and whenever he has been on a challenge long enough to compete, he dominates. I know people on here have involvement with cast mates and I was just wondering if there has been any word on CT's future. Is he banned from future challenges? Is he doing anymore challenges? Thanks in advance everyone, and take it easy. -Taylor

However, I am not sure of his current status with BMP/MTV although I'd personally like to see him move on with his life as the Challenge environ does not seem to be healthy for him or the other cast members that he interacts with...

Yes, this is the official. Members of his family leave messages as well as his girlfriend and her family.

Crazy, Thanks Eggs! I will email CT today and see what he says. I have posted this before, that he is not banned from challenges.

I would like for CT to come back, IF and only IF he can be cool and control himself. Just imagine if CT was on the Ruins...

CT is not banned from challenges but several members of the cast don't want him to come back.
perishable#11
I wish he were on The Ruins. I think simply for the competitive factor, it would have been great. The Champions team is just overall SO MUCH BETTER and to have CT on the Challengers along with Brad, Danny, & Dunbar, they might have a better chance. He's another one, like Brad, where I can't believe they have never won one of these things.

This season would've been 10xs greater than it already is! But he and Adam would've been on the same team... I think I remember reading on here somewhere that there were talks of inviting him back, but Adam said no way.
alucard666#13
It wasn't only Adam, another castmembers of the Ruins didn't want CT to come back.

Yes, nearly every challenge mission that he has actually been on long enough to compete, CT has DOMINATED. I don't remember which challenge it was, but if anyone remembers there was 2 platforms suspended in the air and you had to grab flags one at a time and get back to the other platform. Everyone was running and diving, and CT was just hopping back and forth..

Thats great news! Can you find out at all if he is up to the task to do anymore challenges? or has he had enough? I would appreciate it! -Taylor

That was from the first Duel.

CT needs to get his **** together before going on another challenge.

Thought so, lol. Thanks for the confirmation.
alucard666#19
CT didn't dominate the Duel 1, the most dominating player was Evan who won 5 missions.
faceless#20
And then CT beat him. CT would have won a couple more if he listened to rules.

Exactly. Evan was even really nervous about it, knowing CT was the best competitor. He tried to draw puzzle combinations on his arm to cheat he was so nervous. Evan also got lucky on 2 different missions I remember in particular that CT won, but didn't follow the rules, giving Evan the win both times. He beat himself. Also, how quickly CT overpowered Brad in the push me duel was almost scary, but he ripped the flag instead of unclipping it. Again he beat himself. He's a monster. He just needs to listen to the rules more closely and not fight and he will win these challenges with relative ease.

Thats funny. I remember Ct going further than Evan.. He would have won The final mission if it wasn't for that lame DQ.
faceless#23
93TTSupra, I for some reason JUST realized what your username was. I love Supras. You're cooler in my book now that you have Supra in your name, that's even better then you liking CT.

He would have lost to Wes because Wes was a former soccer player and he would have won the head start, meaning he would have won the mission. Wes is just as good as CT really.

Wasn't the head start, like, two minutes? It would have taken CT no time to catch up to Wes.

Actually, Brad completed the race in a faster time than Wes!! Ct, who is a great runner, (check the creds) would have won. Wes had to manipulate his was to the final. CT can back it up more than Wes. Look at the stats.

Agree 100%. Plus CT is feared by everyone. I know Evan said that there were few people as hard to get along with as CT. But I don't remember this being brought up much. (Maybe by Adam who got his *** kicked) people stay away from CT. But no one has a problem telling Wes they dont like him, which means they are not afraid of him.
RW561015#29
Yeah, I have to disagree (respectfully) that Wes is as good as CT is.

CT said before the Stacking Stairs challenge that he didn't even care about winning the missions. He was socially connected enough that he knew he'd get picked up somewhere in the order, and was confident that absolutely nobody was going to call him out, and that if they did he would win. He spent his "strategy time" just hanging out and flirting with Diem. To me, that shows a greater level of dominance of the game than Evan's simply winning some missions.

False, CT hasn't won any challenge.
