Behind the Screen: Previous Challenge Drama

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.

Both times that Veronica was in the inner circle, she wanted to vote off Emily. The 1st time was before Emily even got into the inner circle. Veronica mentioned that Emily's only here for herself and blah blah blah..they didn't show it because they wanted to start the whole Emily Vs. Veronica storyline later so that they could focus on the other castmates since the cast was HUGE. Melissa and Lori both mention this in their blog. They ended up voting off Jisela cause she had the lowest points. The 2nd time was when Tonya was leaving anyways so she wouldn't be able to vote Emily off, then she got a DQ and got out of the inner circle. I think Veronica assumed she would be in the inner circle again right after so she could vote Emily off there. And the whole Aneesa trying to sabatoge Emily's points was really Veronica's idea. Veronica came up with the idea and told Aneesa, and Aneesa told Ruthie (Lori explained this in her blog). And there was a good amount of girls who wanted Veronica gone in BOTS, so she had to have been doing something to make them feel that way (behind the scenes). They said stuff like shes shady, mean and has a bad attitude. And those exact words were used again right after in "The Gauntlet 1" so hmmm...

You are sort of right. The first time Veronica was in the inner circle she did want to send Emily home but she couldnt because James had won the Lifesaver and had given it to Emily. So Veronica couldnt vote her out of the game, thus they went with Veronica's closest friend there, Jisela. I can believe that Veronica was a ***** to everyone and she is a snob. When I met a drunken Abram last year he confirmed it to me. He said she can think she is better than everyone. I had met Veronica in New York a few months back and she talked to me but the friend I was with who didnt know who she was said she seemed stuck up. I didnt notice because I was in awe as I have been a Veronica fan since 1999 and was a really huge supporter back during BOT Sexes. So I could see why girls like Anne, Christina and Genesis didnt like her. Veronica had her clique with Melissa, Lori and Jisela and hung out with the guys so Im sure she never even talked to the other girls and acted above them.

The only thing we can be sure of is that you weren't there, and you have no idea how she behaved when she was there.

About Anne and Christina having issues with Veronica - remember they were in Emily's "group," just like Melissa and Lori were in Veronica's "group," so they could be looked at as on Emily's side just as Lori and Melissa vouched for with Veronica. I could see Veronica being Veronica on that challenge and her personality not meshing well with them. And I could see Emily's personality not meshing well with some of the other girls as well. I think girls like Veronica and Emily are going to have their lovers and haters. There personalities have seemed to come off strongly on some of the shows they were on.

Emily seemed well liked on BotSeasons aside from Chadwick and Holly. After awhile, Holly seemed to get along with her okay though just because they were both on Road Rules and had to work as a team.
