Behind the Screen: Fresh Meat 2: Pete Connolly

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.

Oh, time to do some more sleuthing. I have friends who go to Loyola...

Fresh Meat 2: Pete Connolly

molds13 ·

Pete Connolly is the newest Fresh Meater to surface. A finance major at Loyola University in Maryland, he is a 2006 graduate of Wellesley Senior High School in Waltham, Massachusetts. He plays on the club hockey team, enjoys hanging out with his friends, sports, partying, and the United States of America. He is currently single and living in Baltimore. His birthday is January 17th. MTV Biography: This handsome Boston bartender has always been a hit with the ladies. But Pete promises that when it comes to The Challenge, he is strictly focused on the prize money. He's also a hockey player who admits that in the heat of competition, "I can get very angry and loud." His partner better have a high tolerance for temper tantrums. An intern at an investment bank, this brainy newbie will have to use all of his smarts to keep his eyes on the prize and avoid temptation once he meets the lovely ladies!

I think he's more of a basketball fan than a Piston fan, there are other pictures of him wearing other jerseys.

I don't know why, but he reminded me of Shane Keough last night on the show (looks-wise).

I added him on FB and I was surprised he accepted. Didn't think he would since he only has like 200 friends which made me think he only accepted close friends. Anyhow, his status said something like "I can do more than 7 pull ups!". Hilarious haha.

Thanks Rey. I'll watch this after the reunion.

I think when they did the Combine Day it was too much fun so I think a few including Pete didn't take it that serious.

I dont doubt it. There is no advantage to doing well, other than making yourself look good, but its not like doing well helps you get a better partner or anything.

I wonder if the partner selection is going to be random draw?

For my old school homies... Does Pete remind anyone of Brian from Road Rules Latin America?

I was told he isn't going to do another by Jenn. Things change all the time though.
Penelope#25
Do we know if Jenn and Pete are still seeing each other? He seemed like a standup guy.

They have been done for a while now.

They were such a cute couple. I hope he does another Challenge... if there is another.

Does anyone know, if he would do another challenge? I think he was one of the few entertaining FMII people.
CrazyRealityGuy#29
He seemed liked he enjoyed himself on FMII. Even though he didn't bring so much drama, he was a good athlete. I think he would do another one if he gets the chance.
VCR14#30
Im fairly certain he said somewhere that he would NOT do another challenge.
