Behind the Screen: Future Challenge Format Speculation

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.

LOL can you imagine Evan with someone like Brooke. He wouldn't know what to do...

Evan would go crazy and scream at Brooke during challenges!

I would love if they did soemthing new, but i doubt it. To short of time to make something new. They rushed it a lot. So wanna make it 10?? LOL
"Too short of time" is not a issue. Before The Island was chosen by MTV as its concept of choice last year, BMP had plans for several different challenges. How about $20, going to the charity of the winner's choice?

So since I'm assuming Vevmo knows something.. Has the cast already been invited?
No, but BMP has been talking to various cast members for some time. A couple of people have stated publicly that they are not doing the next challenge, indicating someone had approached them about their availability.

They should have 2 teams. The missions are both teamwork and individual ones so that each player has a score and there will be a scoreboard like in the battle of the sexes 1. The "inner circle" will decide who will go into the gauntlet or inferno. Will they pick the person with the lowest point or someone who's a "threat" because only people in the inner circle will make it to the end. I think that would be a cool concept!

I just would like to see a challenge where the strong battles the strong. The Duel 2 would have been more of a promising challenge (it looks evry good from the previews) if there were a few different people (Coral, Jodi, Evelyn, Beth, and Christena) ..... then replace some of the newbies with (Abram, Alton, Derrick, and Adam) ........ I really hope for a FM2 where the twist would be where losing teams face off individually and winners stay/losers go forming different teams. I could only imagine the devious schemes people would implore to align themselves with stronger team members.

does anyone think thjey will do a 4th version of inferno or gauntlet or they retired those?
Lotus#70
Its inevitable that they will but then again they want to try other things first.
Dartagnan#71
I do not think we will see Inferno 4 or Gauntlet 4. They are done, or at least in my book.
Ms. Dynasty#72
There have been so many posts in the "What Could They Do to Improve Challenges" That I hope they use those suggestions..Or atleast think outside the box..Once the idea of a 4th something comes to mind I just think that they must be out of new refreshing ideas

You think they care at MTV and BMP? Caring is a human quality I've never seen much of in either entity.

Aww come on V1 can't you lend a helping hand?? I mean what better way to amp up the ratings than to take the people who watch the show's suggestions??

Well, honestly, I'm just tired of them not listening.

That's the issue! Why not though?? I thought they wanted better ratings..I don't see a point in putting on a show if the standards are set moderately low..

I think the next few challenges (Not sure how many are renewed??) will be a mixture of the following formats. - Some kind of a pair challenge. Possibly a fresh meat 2 BUT rather than using strangers, using Veterans and having the fresh meat people be cast members that have never been on a challenge. EX: CT could be partners with Trisha, Coral with Jose etc. - Inferno 4/Gauntlet 4 - Battle Of The Sexes 3
Anonymous#78
Battle of the Sexes 3 has been discussed, and I don't think we will see that one anytime soon. The men would slaughter the girls.
SteveSparxx#79
Without a doubt. The women's competitors just aren't as good as they were in past, with the exception off the human roid machine Evelyn, Kelly Anne, Kim, Jenn, and Rachel.

I wouldn't put Jenn in that category. She does good in Duel's but she doesn't do good in the missions. Regardless, the men will always come out on top.
Ms. Dynasty#81
If the challenges were truely like BOT1 and 2 and not so much Duel2 Then I think the woman would have a great chance..
Dartagnan#82
I can see Battle of the Sexes 3 not happening due to V1's past comments on the issue, but I think there are enough girls to battle the guys fairly. They would just need to make the missions less physical.

I doubt that. During the past 2 BOTS the guys dominated. Even the cast members treated it as a joke.

Even so, the men still came out on top. Battle of the Sexes 1 was probably the fairest as it will get, and the men still won almost of all the challenges. They lost the first three, than practically won the rest of them, if I remember correctly.
Dartagnan#85
Actually Ms. D, I think if more missions were like some of The Duel 2 missions, like the past one, girls could win. The girls did better than most of the guys.

Thinking about it, you're right..The fastest guy time on that upside down dangling in the air challenge was about 2mins..And a few girls made that time as well..So yea I agree
Ms. Dynasty#87
How can one not treat it as somewhat of a joke..Some of the missions were just silly..But I still have all the faith in the women
Dartagnan#88
I do think that the women now can actually pull it off. I hope one more Battle of the Sexes will happen.
RMD1#89
Look I am far from sexist, but if you put 10 rwrr challenge men against the women the women are going to lose 99.99999999999999999% of the time.. Thats just how it works =)

Agreed, thats why they should have more mentally based challenges.

I think in the past, females were demolishing the endurance missions. I mean, Sarah won most of her Gauntlets against MEN. Melissa Howard almost killed herself sitting on that block of ice, and Ellen outlasted everyone. Even physically weak players like Katie could win in an endurance based elimination. I think now, there are too many balls to the wall types of missions, it gets really boring seeing the same people win them.
