Behind the Screen: Cut Throat- Brad Fiorenza

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.

Even if he does win, I would want to see him back mainly because I enjoy watching him. He will always be one of my favorite...

Something tells me win or lose this is his last Challenge. He just got married, and from Duel 2 it doesn't look like Tori likes the experience much and I'm guessing this is one last try for Brad to se...

Cut Throat- Brad Fiorenza

Entropy ·

First Appearance: Real World: San Diego Last time we saw Brad he was on the receiving end of a beat down by Darell on The Ruins, on the Ruins reunion he said he would never do a Challenge without his now wife Tori. Well he is in luck, the now married Brad is accompanied by his wife on this Challenge, but many questions remain about the Real World: San Diego member. Will Tori keep him in check as he stated? Will he be on the same team as Tori? If they aren't will that cause drama? and.. WILL HE FINALLY WIN? Previous Challenges: Battle of the Sexes 2, Inferno 2, Gauntlet 2, The Duel, Gauntlet 3, The Duel 2, The Ruins

Despite his losing streak, I do not feel bad for him at all. He got lucky getting as far as he did on the Duel 1 and Duel 2. The Ruins was a loss well deserved. Getting drunk and acting dumb on national T.V. was his own fault. But more importantly, he and the other 4 members of his team involved in the most crucial, and only Challenger deliberation screwed up any possible chances of winning by choosing to send in Bri over Casey. He made his own bed the second he voted in BRIANNA over Casey, which is why I have to laugh in the later episodes when he is complaining about how Casey brings the team down. Frankly, everyone who was involved in that deliberation besides Brianna deserved to go home, and thankfully, every single one of them did.

Agreed. That was an indefensible dumb move by the Challengers team. I haven't re-watched The Ruins since listening to Kenny and Johnny made me very aggravated, but what the **** was their rationale in sending in Brianna over Casey? So stupid. Brad, Adam, and Danny had all seen Casey suck firsthand, they should have immediately thrown her in. That all said, it'd be nice to see Brad win. I liked his RW season and he's one of my favorite people on the Challenges.

I don't think he looks old at all. I just wish he would grow out his hair again.

My favorite male Real Worlder is back for another one. I still can’t believe B-Rad is still looking for his first challenge win. There are so many other under deserving cast members who have done fewer challenges and won (Ex- Kenny, Johnny Bananas, Nehemiah, and Rachael (RW: Austin)). In my opinion Brad should have already at least four challenge wins under his belt. He could’ve won BOTS2 if he didn’t get screwed by the Mark, Eric, and Dan alliance, The Duel 1 could’ve been his if it weren’t for the penalty kick shoot-out (Italians are supposed to be good on penalties lol), Gauntlet 3 should had been his if it weren’t for Eric, and finally The Duel 2 was easily his until Evan’s hunger and drive got the better of him. I have a feeling this will be Brad’s last challenge and I really want him to go out with a bang and win his first challenge alongside his wife, Tori. Forca Brad

Brad does look like he's aged an awful lot in the face over the past 4 years.
Fresh Prince#12
I really hope Brad wins this. He has it set to make it to the end as he is the leader on his team and the only way he goes in is if he's the last guy. He just needs to stay way from the alchohol. :)

They also did that on the g3 why would you send coral in over casey and im glad that team lost too brad needs to make the right moves in this challenge go BRAD! They also did that on Gauntlet 3. Why would you send in Coral over Casey? And I'm glad that team lost too. Brad needs to make the right moves in this challenge. Go Brad!

For all those that are criticizing how Brad is playing the game, in the new podcast with Derrick, Mark Long actually defends what he is doing.

Let's see if his wife could be the lucky charm that helps him to win his first challenge.

Well she almost worked on G3 and D2. Maybe the third time will be the charm.

Yeah, it's true.

true, they should have throw Casey in IMMEDIATELY!! I don't think she should be invited back to challenges that involve teams - her poor performances drag the entire team down because she's THAT bad and afraid to even try, which makes for very uneven teams.

with all the controversy about how Brad is playing the game I'm surprised this thread isn't bigger.

It's not that surprising. The consensus is clear and concise. Brad's selling his Challenger's team down the river in order to keep Casey was a dumb *** move.

Um acutally I meant how he's playing the game on Cutthroat. Not past challenges I should have make that clear.

Oh, well in that case there's plenty of it going on in the spec. thread. :D

Brad is one of my all time favorites, but I don't like the way he's been on this challenge, or at the end of the Ruins. He just acts very entitled for reasons I don't understand. I think he's heard for such a long time that he's the "nice guy" of the challenges and he really bought into it. He's been saying how he "deserves" the money more than anyone else. Why? Yes, you're putting it towards your family and your future, but so is Derrick. So was MJ. So were Danny and Wes back in the day. Just because his marriage is out there for us to see doesn't mean he's the only one with a family to support. Have some people spent their money on stupid stuff, yes (you're the man Kenny...but a wrestling ring? there was nothing better to put 15k towards?) but at the end of the day it's their money to spend. I said on another thread, unless someone is sending their money to a charity for abused orphan puppies I really don't think we can weigh the nobility of one person against another. Again, Brad is one of my favorites, but I'm not liking this "holier than thou" vibe that he has going on right now, ESPECIALLY in the preview for next episode.

I used to love Brad until that fight with Darrell in The Ruins. To me Brad, along with Derrick are SELLOUTS!!! We understand that you haven't won one yet, but you don't have to act like you're entitled to the money.
fabulous788#25
Brad just needs to win one the dirty ******* way because apparently that's the only way to win a challenge. Then he can go back to losing with the nice guy act I guess.
izDestiny#26
if he wins..I doubt he will do another challenge. i heard/or read somewhere that Tori is pregnant? true???? false?

Brad, sellout? Yes. Derrick? No way. He at least got his first win by working hard and he deserved it. Yeah since then he's been part of the main alliance everytime, but hey, who doesn't try to be in the main alliance besides the rookies? It's not really his fault he's one of the best players and pretty much gets dragged into it lol. Brad on the other hand is just...I don't really know. Like you said, I get the impression that he has this holier than thou attitude and feels everybody in the friggen house wants him to win. He's always seemed like a nice guy on the challenges, but I also feel he's changed since around the Ruins. I don't know how I would be able to handle him being the "leader" of my team, but of course I'm a guy so I would have to watch my back before this sneaky ******* stabbed me in it.
AEvans5#28
Ok I'll take my statement back about Derrick. He did win The Inferno 3 fair and square and I have noticed that he's part of the main alliance in a way, but he's not kinda.

You don't have to take it back lol, you're entitled to your opinion, I was just saying that my opinion is that Brad is a bigger sellout than D. I'm sorry if I may have came off as rude or pushy, that wasn't my intention. I just feel like Brad would screw over anybody to win and I don't see Derrick doing that to everybody. But I'm not gonna lie, if Brad chooses not to compete anymore after CutThroat, I won't miss him too much.
AEvans5#30
I'm not offended at all. And no, I won't miss Brad either. Or his wife because to me she has lost her mind too lol.
Entropy#31
I'm wondering..if Brad's plan does work this time around can we really blame him? At the end of it all, it IS a game show.
