Behind the Screen: Gauntlet III: Mexico - Premiere

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.

wasn't that Adam sleeping with Paula?? I also dislike CT and Diem (mostly since she was trying to act so sweet to CT to bring him out of his rage and then trying to say he never acts like this away from challenges...yeah right) I just for the life of me can't remember Tori...where was she from? She seems a bit annoying though.
oops you're right it was adam...sorry! i guess i got the A's mixed up?? lol Tori is from the stupid Road Rules Viewers Revenge and acted like she was BEST friends with Kina and Susie and i just think shes a stuck up b!itch. & the way she acted when she got that ball away from whoever was a little over the top. I hope she gets sent home FAST! Diem & her cancer thing got on my nerves. Dont get me wrong i feel extremely bad for BUT she doesnt need to bring it up everytime someones mean to her or wants to vote her off. She excepts everyone to feel sorry for her and pity her and never vote her off just because shes the girl with cancer. uggh. Those are the only two that drive me nuts. Everyone else i like. I love Paula on these challenges...shes completely different that on her season on the real world.

Anyone else notice that Tyler is looking rough?? Like he's aged several years since RW Key WEst? Anyway, back to Kenny. I guess I found him mildly amusing with his whole vain stupid Jersey boy persona at first. But that's really worn thin on me, time to get a new schtic buddy!

It was way overproduced personally by Jon Murray. (Sorry, Jon, but you know I'm right.)

I hated viewers revenge. I watched one episode and thought it was stupid and never watched it again. I think road rules went downhill when they started voted people off.
Katiedid#47
Good God, CT just needs to shut up honestly. He is the biggest piece of white trash on the challenges IMO.

Viewers revenge was so boring, but this Gauntlet seems really good so far. I know everyone will think i am crazy but i love diem and although i agree CT is the biggest ******* on the planet, also find him funny. I just really liked when he first met diem and was really nice to her and made her feel better when she lost her hair. IDK i thought it was sweet. Does anyone know if they are still together?

I thought it was sweet that they hooked up too on The Duel, but overall I just get a bad taste in my mouth when I see either of them on screen. As for the status of their relationship, it would seem they have parted ways.

johanna is probably one of the hotest real worlder cast members ever. i think any girl sharing a photo with her is going to take a backseat to her beauty, even ms virginia.

They are not together. As I've posted elsewhere, CT brought a new GF to NYV for the 25 Greatest Challenge Moments show taping and announced to all that he has "dumped" Diem. He is pretty much a white trash pig. Maybe we should start a poll to see what guy Diem will adopt on the next challenge.
Katiedid#53
Maybe she'll try to pick up where she left off with Derrik? Orrr since she likes guys who are obnoxious a holes when they are angry, possibly Dunbar? No, never mind as a newbie he won't have enough 'clout' in the challenges for her taste. ;)

I think CT is pretty dumb and a jerk but I like that they have some evil people like him and Beth S. and Coral on the show...they make it more fun to watch. I never want to see Veronica , Rachel , Abram, Tina, Kina, or Tonya on anymore challenges. I wouldn't mind Rachel as much if Julie was on there but if julie is not there I do not want to see Veronica's ****** *** ever on a challenge. She is an *****. I also don't like that blond bimbo who walked around in her panties and peed in the road and her dumb boyfriend Danny from austin. At least they are on seperate teams so could cause some problems.

I think people need to make a distinction between people who play a role on the challenges and those who, sadly, are being themselves. There is no similiarity between CT and Beth or CT and Coral, for example. Personally, from a character flaw perspective, in real life, I can see some affinity among CT, Tina, Veronica, Rachel and Abram. Tonya was just messed up emotionally on a couple of challenges, but is a great person in real life. Kina, in real life is a sweetheart -- really. Beth gets hired by MTV to play a distinct role -- just as Brad said during the reunion show for The Duel. Every time she tells BMP she would prefer not to do it and they tell her it's not consistent with the hours of footage they have of her. I've know her a long time and she is anything but "Evil Beth." She is supposed to instigate. She already did that three times during the time period covered by the first mission, but the results of the instigation will not come out for another few weeks.

CT, Tina, Veronica, Rachel and Abram
You hit the proverbial nail on the head. Those are the "bad people" on the challenges. Kina is a sweetheart although often misguided. Her making Susie cry was one of my favorite moments in challenge history and should have made the top 25! Tonya is definitely in need of help and I do not blame her outbursts on mischievous intent. More likely just a chemical imbalance. CT doesn't really know any better. Not sure if that is a valid excuse, but it is not like the premeditated evil of a Rachel or Tina. I totally agree about Beth. Actually it is to the point that when I see her confessionals I catch a sense of "over-the-topism" and acting. I laugh now, although I'll be honest in saying that 2 years ago when she graced the screen I was not laughing. I think that she has been transformed into a more likable character over the last few challenge events that she has participated in. Has she mellowed with age?

i totally believe it 100%. everything you said. Everyone was ranking on Kina at one point but i knew it was just all taken out of context to fit the form of a show/create drama. Same for Beth. People (viewers) really lose sight that this is a TV show and NOT how these people are in real life. at least all the time
Katiedid#59
I think when I was younger I didn't like Beth because you were pretty much programmed to not like Beth on these shows and honestly I didn't really analyze the cast the way I do now. But since I started reading her blogs and hearing her side of things, I like her a lot. She knows what makes good tv and there's a reason she is from RW season 2 and still gets asked back to pretty much every challenge. She knows the role she plays and she plays it well. Even looking back on the stuff that made me dislike her before, I just laugh because I feel like I 'get it' now.
