Behind the Screen: Giuliana & Bill

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.

They are a very pretty couple. :) I think that they will last...

Has anybody been watching this show? I didn't really have too much interest in it when I first heard about it... but I caught it last week.. & I have to say I really do like it. They are very cute together... It almost reminds me of Nick & Jessica back in season one....

I thought I read a while back that they split, so I was surprised to see they have a show together. But whether they did or not, it's good they are together now.

Really? I never heard that rumor... though I had pretty much forgotten about them until I ran across the show...

Who are they? I've seen promos for this and thought Bill was hot. Not enough to get me to watch though.

I wasn't planning on watching this show, but I saw the first episode and kinda got hooked. They're really cute together! I like the way they banter back and forth sometimes, and how they kept betting each other that the other person was wrong in the first episode.

I caught a few episodes when I was in Indonesia and the only channel worth watching was E! I thought they were really cute together and more natural and more "real" than other reality couples. Their bantering seemed like how my boyfriend and I are together, so I could relate. That being said, I don't know WHY they would agree to go on reality tv.

I've been watching the season 1 repeats on E!. It feels very staged, but it is light fare and an easy half hour to burn. They're a cute couple.

I loved last night's repeat episode (on E!) but I still get bothered by the staging. Like at the end when they wonder aloud who is going to do all those dishes, I immediately knew it was not going to be them... Each episode is so tightly packaged with them doing a singular "confessional" and talking about future events like they are yet to happen, then they are wearing the same clothing sitting in the same spot talking about these events in a past tense two minutes later. And then we have the "lesson." Be it cooking, hypnotism, language training or seeing a psychic. They love to fill the middle of the episode with this standard element that helps bring the happy ending.... Anyway, the interesting part, is their dynamic. Clearly they are very different people and it is amazing that they are actually a couple! I love it when Bill gets embarrassed (which is almost all the time but most recently when she was launching golf balls at other people on the driving range and cheering, lol.) I really hope that they are in it for the long term, but they have so little in common. Bill is Chicago vs. LA. They don't like any of the same hobbies (except maybe light jogging.) Being a construction foreman and being an E! television host are two polar opposite worlds. Bill is somewhat quiet and Giuliana is boisterous. Hmm, maybe these reasons are why the show is so entertaining? I look forward to it on Sunday nights after Keeping up with the Kardashians.

Aww...the season on E! (season 1) is over! I hope that they pick up season 2 when it gets done airing on Style (because I'm not going to get the package with 50 more channels I'll never watch just to see this, but I'll definitely watch it on E! should they show it later this year.)

I've been watching season 2... the season ends with just one more episode so hopefully E! will pick it up!

I hate to admit it, but this is the "secret" reality show that I enjoy. Hard to explain, but I enjoy almost every episode. There is just something about it that clicks. I'm glad E! is broadcasting the second season. The entire pregnancy thing is very touching, and the way they add light humor makes it very watchable. It is more entertaining and endearing that 95% of reality shows that I struggle through on a weekly basis...

I agree. This is one of my favorites. Bill and Giuliana come across as very sincere/warm people. They're the kind of people that most of us could see ourselves hanging out with. As a couple they have a great chemistry and their love and respect for each other shines through. I hope this show sticks around.

My heart dropped when i saw this. So glad they found the cancer early though. She is fantastic, love her on Fashion Police and her show with Bill.
