Behind the Screen: Cut Throat - Melinda Stolp

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.

Yeah but (I think) thy brought her back just because they want to see if she hook up with somebody... and I think that if they will bring her back is with Danny on the challenge just t see how they'll act since they're not longer together (that's my opinion)

I can't think of many people that would sign up to be locked in a house for up to 6 weeks with their ex husban/wife.

What do you mean they tried? Danny didnt want to do Cutthroat or they were asked for the next challenge? Melinda had a bf going into Cutthroat so I doubt her hooking up with people was the reason they cast her for that.

They were both asked to be on Cutthroat. I'm not sure if he declined due to Melinda accepting, but I'm sure each had an idea that the other had been asked as those kind of things get around between the cast.

People like to think there would be drama between exes but as we've seen, people tend to be more mature and just ignore each other. ie- Timmy/Susie, Mark/Robin, Colin/Amaya

We all know Danny wouldnt last that long anyway, so its not like there would be too much drama, even if it was a problem.

Danny is a bit more of a hot head than those men listed. And I'm sure the terms of the break up could factor in on that as well. All I know is that I would love to see Melinda back on another challenge.

None of those "couples" were married. If both of them were asked it would be the first divorced couple to be on a challenge together.
Clarke#43
It would have been cool if Danny was on Cutthroat there would have been a: 1. Divorced Couple. (Danny/Melinda) 2. The NewlyWeds. (Brad/Tori) 3. Challenge Sweethearts (Abram/Cara Maria).

I still don't like her after hearing Coral's aftershow interview (Fresh Meat) about the racist comment.
Anonymous#45
Oh geez :rolleyes: Coral is probably the most racist cast member to ever be on one of these shows. And you do know Melinda is good friends with Nehemiah right?

I didn't know that. I just remember Nehemiah talking crap about Danny and Melinda on the reunion show for Austin. Don't really remember Gauntlet III.

That was such BS and just Coral being a *****. Melinda said she had shampoo for colored hair. Coral twisted her words and made it into a racial statement when in reality Melinda did not mean that at all. What Melinda WAS saying was that she used shampoo for people with colored hair (meaning people that had colored or dyed their hair), Coral twisted it and made it seem like Melinda said she had shampoo for colored people's hair (making it a racial thing). The most ridiculous thing is if Melinda really HAD said something like that don't you think Coral would have called her out right then and there?? Instead Coral twisted her words and only said something months and months after the fact on the after show when Melinda couldn't defend herself. LAME.

Melinda Stolp can't be a racist if she hooked up with Brandon Nelson on their way home after they lost in the Gulag together (according to Jenn), so I guess that answers both questions; did she hookup with anyone? & is she a racist? yes and no.
Buck05#49
Nehemiah's animosity at the RW Austin reunion was mostly directed at Danny for the way he was acting like "Ben Affleck" after the show. Apparently Danny has piped down a bit because the entire Austin cast seems to get along. Remember how Danny and Melinda were hating on Lacey at the reunion? They all seem to be friends now...considering they attended Lacey's salon opening and Lacey was at their wedding. People get over things. As for Melinda/Coral...ridiculous. I remember finding it laughable when Coral said it. Melinda is not a racist. If Coral's statement had any sort of merit to it, more cast members would have mentioned it or have held it against Melinda. Nobody else seems to give a ****.

Brandon said on Twitter he didn't hook up with Melinda :P
saltvinegar#51
I like Coral, but she twisted the hell out of what Melinda said. I'm surprised people even still remember that.

The SHI% they should have Shown was the second instance where the Melinda/Ayiiia hook-up was mentioned. I believe Johnny mentioned it on Derrick/Kenny's podcast. I find it a little odd...tho both are very pretty and attractive
blackinwhite#53
I like Melinda, she is very pretty. She had challenge rust and that's why she went home.
Anonymous#54
Its good to see people that like Melinda, I think she was disliked by many because of Danny, hopefully she will do more challenges and will prove herself physically and as a likeable player.

Then why did she apologize off-camera? And at the reunion show Wes said that she was truly sorry, so obviously Coral didn't twist her words .
Buck05#56
Maybe Melinda was apologetic because her words offended Coral. She had no intentions of making her shampoo comment racial, but since Coral took it that way she probably felt bad. I side with Melinda on this one. Honestly, if she really did say some racial term, more people would be upset about it other than Coral...and like I said before, nobody else gives a **** about it.
saltvinegar#57
Didn't Tina even say that Coral twisted it?
CHill#58
Back when Fresh Meat was airing I remember someone wrote a blog saying Coral was full of it. I can't remember who though cause I hated the idea of Fresh Meat and hardly paid any attention to it or remember it. But yes, someone (not any of the Austin cast) did come out and say Coral was lying, I just can't remember who. Either way I thought Coral was full of it back then and I still do. At the time of Fresh Meat Coral was still HBIC and basically ran the challenges. To believe that she would not have attacked Melinda verbally if she had made a racist comment is ridiculous. We all saw how she reacted to Mike during Back To NY. You all really don't think Coral would have BLOWN UP if a newbie came in and made comments about colored people's hair? Give me a break. Coral twisted her words and then made the claims on the after show cause Melinda wasn't there to defend herself. About Wes at the reunion......I could even see Melinda just apologizing to shut Coral up as not to make waves. Especially if it wasn't on camera and it came down to Melinda's word versus Coral. Melinda was new to the challenges and wanted to come back and do more and ******* off Coral on your first challenge (at that point) was not a smart thing to do. So I could see her just have Wes apologize to get it over and done with so Coral would shut up. Calling Coral a liar would have put an even bigger target on Melinda's back when she came back for her next challenge.

She is hot, but there are so many competitive girls right now and I don't know if she will win a challenge. It was nice seeing her again on Cut Throat.
Anonymous#61
Melinda can win, she hasnt ever been "weak." She was one of the stronger girls on the Gauntlet 3. She didnt do bad on Cutthroat, Emily is a fierce competitor. I think she has what it takes, I hope she comes back for more.
