Behind the Screen: Cut Throat - Emilee Fitzpatrick

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.

Wow that was a very good read, I laughed at the part about her not being considered a giant next to Laurel and Theresa...

She makes a good point.

I was shocked I liked it, since she isn't my favorite person. I hate to say it, but she is growing on me. Maybe by next season I will like her.

Her blog about real world vs. fresh meat is interesting. Does anyone know who Emilee was referring to, when she said she was mad at a fresh meat from oregon who had an opportunity to win money, and not her?
RMD1#67
She was talking about Luke.

Actually, I was just using a reference that would be familiar and an example to a viewer. I had Mandi more in mind, despite her being one of my great friends.. I was flashing back to how I felt in the moment.

and do you really need to try to make something positive into something negative by tearing apart one sentence from a whole blog. you'd be a great journalist.

Thanks, I know

I really loved her blog and I hope she continues with it. My personal favorite line was "I am going to cut Road Rules out of this because in challenge years, not to be mistaken for real life years, they’re old as ****, and the show unfortunately was cancelled." This made me like her even more.

I never actually said I was sorry so...Sorry Emilee if you took what I said to be rude. i didn't mean it to be I just meant that you were acting "bitter" lately and thats not usually you. :(

"Fresh Meat consists of the people who made it to the semi-finals or finals of Real World or Bad Girls Club." - Emilee Fitzpatrick E. • REAL WORLD VS FRESH MEAT.
Does anyone know which Fresh Meaters applied to be on Bad Girl's Club?

I decided to view Emilee's twitter after reading that and I have to say I'm with her on an all rookies challenge. Though she forgot the Hollywood season, I'd throw them in too. I just think it'd be interesting. It would essentially be like an old challenge with newer cast members if they got a bunch of people who had never won/played the game before. It would be interesting to me to see how the game turned out.
DutchRWfan#78
an all rookie challenge would be fun, but i don't think it will help the ratings..
Entropy#79
Truth is the ratings aren't that bad, I mean shows like TNA and Smackdown do around that range, although SD sometimes hits the low to mid 2s, but TNA is always in that same 1.2, 1.3, or even .9 bracket and that show is probably not as cheap to produce as a Challenge and they don't even make money from the live gate. I think the main factor is that compared to other MTV shows the ratings aren't as hot. I hope maybe giving a long break till summer like its rumored to happen this year, will make people miss it..sometimes having too much can over saturate the product, and with RW and Challenges constantly on TV it does get to that point.
Morris1721#80
All rookie challenge? No thanks. Month long breaks? Also, no thanks. I start missing the challenges mid-way through the season of RW, and if the challenges were on constantly, I'd be a happy camper. Anyways, I hope the next challenge Emilee is on, Jonna or Bronne are also present. Definitely hope she makes it farther on that challenge and continues being aggressive like she was in her Gulag.

You must be my clone. :D I also feel you on Emilee. I don't think she had anything to do with her elimination on Cutthroat. They were hazing the rookies and she just happened to be the victim this season (Funny how the Cancun kids were the victims when D.C. succeeded Cancun but what ever lol). It would be nice to see Emilee on the nice challenge. She's a nice little firecracker.

Not really. I get that she's also a rookie, but who would you prefer: Emilee or Emily? Emily just looks stronger and tougher, not to mention the fact that she got the honor of not being a captain.
RMD1#84
I wish Emilee would have fought a little harder.
emilee#85
fought harder huh? My fight lasted a little longer, and didn't involve throwing each other out of bounds. Someone also decided to use two hands instead of one a couple of times. I had the finger marks to prove it. It didn't show what I had to prove - it showed what Camila had to prove, and that's all I have to say.

This shows that editing really alters the opinions of so many things on these shows, right down to how much effort a person seems to put into an elimination.
Gabxmarie#87
Might I also add that editing really has nothing to do with it. You can feel as though you're being very aggressive in this kind of thing, and it may not at all look like it to an outsider, or even feel like it to the person you're up against. I know this from being the one who felt more aggressive in my sparring for about a month(training for a BJJ competition), and yet being told that to the people I was training with, I didn't actually become more aggressive until a week before the tourney.
Morris1721#88
Editing actually does alter peoples opinions of much of the show, Emilee even said, Derek and Brandon threw each other out of bounds numerous times so they must've breaks while restarting the Gulag, we didn't see any of that. Opinions=altered. Emilee said her fight went longer than was showed, um the editing clearly made it seems like she was beaten easier, which she wasn't. That's where I rest my case.

I never said you didn't fight hard by any means. I simply said I just wish you fought hard enough to win the gulag so we could have seen more of what you could do.
Clarke#90
I wonder why they would edit out the struggle. Looking back at past seasons almost every elimination round looked like an easy win. I wanna see some Wes vs Derrick type of elimination rounds. All out battles that can go either way. By showing the real Derek vs Brandon gulag people would look at Derek as a stronger competitor than the weak rookie as they portrayed. (lol, I'm getting kinda upset. Who edits these shows monkeys?!)

Exactly, the way it was showed made it look like Derek got crushed, but like Emilee stated, there was a lot of throwing each other out of bounds so Derek must've put up a bigger fight than what was shown if it was that difficult for Brandon to beat him.
