Behind the Screen: Lisa Rizzo & Brooke Labarbera

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.

Lisa Rizzo & Brooke Labarbera

i was just browsing through this site for the first time and seems there are many haters that have never met brooke or lisa so here is what i can tell you when i met them::: I met Brooke and Lisa a couple months back when they were out here in LA and they seemed really in love. Normal in love not reality attention in love. It was pleasent to be around them and they are actually very entertaining to watch interact. Lisa picks on Brooke, in a silly way, and Brooke makes Lisa give up the tough act. I actually remember in particular Brooke kept saying she felt like 'she had a snot' Lisa then said 'MMMMMMm gimme kiss' and grabbed her face to kiss her as brooke started laughing and screaming. So i mean that is serious love. lol They couldnt quite keep their hands off each other as well.. What I would do to be a fly on that wall. Phew. lol First time to this site and seeing all the Brooke haters.. ouch.. well besides her past, I know she is attending NYU for her masters in social work and currently working full time at a yoga place. Guess that helped w. the meltdowns, and Lisa is a youth counselor at a group home of boys without parents and has a softball business. I would say out of all of the reality people I have met, many, they are by far the actual most down to earth cool people. They also have seem to really be in love. I hope you all get to witness that as well. Maybe brooke just needed to find miss lisa and miss lisa just needed to find herself a brooke. Oh to be a fly on the wall............ josh

I've had some really good conversations with Brooke in the last 6 months and I am finally a fan.

I don't think there have EVER been Brooke haters. I didn't like her season, but it had nothing to do with her.

Congratulations to Brooke and Lisa! In a way, it's a bit relieving for me to see that Brooke is indeed a lesbian because if she was straight and still had the firecracker attitude she had in Denver, a relationship between myself and her wouldn't last long. I'm probably gonna make a lot of people mad by saying this but i never really liked Brooke, neither in Denver nor in the Challenges. Her overreactions are Oscar worthy but still over the top; please Brooke say it with me, "Therapy!"; and she really sucks in Challenges so the only reason they keep asking her back is because for the very few days she'll be there, most of her footage will involve kissing Ryan and Davis in the hottub which gets old fast. I wish at least she would do the hottub kissing with Jenn again for old times sake. Jenn i believe is still bi and she's the hottest out of all the Denver girls IMO so i might still have a shot hehe. No way am i even giving Colie a peck on the lips since she's the "Biggest Playa" so God knows where that tongue has been all these years.

Sadly, I've been told that Jenn is straight. If she played for both teams, you'd have some competition. ;)

Of course she is straight. All straight women sleep with butch lesbians.

DECEASED. Jenn's behavior on the Duel 2 ruined it for me, her saying she wanted Aneesa dead, and her bitter comments on the aftershow and on the reunion over Rachel and especially over Rachel and Evan. They all got played, except for Evan, who seemed to not really care. Justice was served when she got steamrolled by Diem. PS. I can't wait for Brookie's show..:). I was a fan of Lisa on the show too.

Very tragic how friendships die due to Challenge issues. Back in the Inferno 3, Jenn and Aneesa were very good friends, one of their great moments was them by the pool, mocking Susie's accent when she said "Jenn, i really like you, blah, blah, blah" and Jenn ranting to Aneesa about Susie being an arrogant hypocrite more or less. But then in Duel 2, the whole Rachel/Jenn showmance and Aneesa's feelings on the matter REALLY screwed up the friendship hence the comment in bold. Much like how back in Gauntlet III, Melinda was so mad and bitter and Johanna just because she got picked, that not only did the friendship between Jo and Mel/Danny suffer some damage; Danny insulting Jo, even being a bit racist with his "I don't speak Spanish" comment, and from what Jo said on the reunion, she was still invited to the wedding but she couldn't be one of the best girls on Mel's corner. And obviously, the former Veronica/Rachel friendship/relationship that everybody is still trying to figure out what exactly happened that tore them apart but since Rachel is still pleading the fifth whenever the question comes up, maybe V on the Ruins will be at least a bit more open to saying her side of the story.

I gather that with Brooke, Lisa finally lets her guard down since that was the reason she didn't win on A Shot at Love 2. Lisa was great in the competitions; that was one of the highlights presented in the first reunion show in which everybody except Tila was present; but Tila was getting tired of Lisa constantly putting up her "wall" whenever Tila wanted to get really close with her.
