The reality TV landscape has never been more crowded or more diverse. From dating shows to competition series to docusoaps, networks and streamers are betting big on unscripted content.
What sets the great shows apart is their ability to create genuine moments — the kind of unscripted drama that no writer's room could manufacture. That's what keeps fans coming back.

Congratulations to what is now a family of 5!! What a great Christmas present.
It's confirmed. Lori is the most unprofessional PR agent on the face of planet Earth. All of her current clients should demand a refund. Seriously, go peep her Twitter.
Also, she's definitely reading Vemvo. As soon as Pink posts about her trying to get Danielle for Bachelorette she goes and tries to disprove it.

You know as a fan of the challenge, RW, and RR its so pleasing to see cast go on to do great things. Rather than just keep doing the show. It's so much easier to find people to root for when you know they're really trying to make something of themselves with the winnings. Rather than continue to show up and do the show over and over and over. Imagine winning a 6 figure amount and not investing in your future via real estate, education, or a stable side career etc.
I think that's why for the most part I struggle to finish a full season, or really find someone I am a "super fan" of in the modern era. There are little to no storylines other than "I hate her cause we screwed the same guy" or "he's good at these and I wanna be good at these so now I have to take him out and act like there's some real reason we don't like one another"

THAT PART!
Y'all speak very highly of SExes 1 , so now I have to watch. Kind of wish coral was on because I heard about Ms emily bailey
Battle of the Sexes 1 was a interesting. If you want to watch a season that exemplifies what the challenge used to be and what a lot of us old school fans wish it still was, it is one of the best seasons of the challenge ever. However, back then, the challenges were like backyard games haha. Not that physical and not much skill involved. The girls team made that season what it was. There was so much drama, politics, backstabbing, etc. on the girls team. The guys team was uber boring. They just voted off whoever was in last place. Which looking back, it was an admirable group of guys. They were humble and respectable towards each other, not like the dopes we have now. But yeah, Sexes 1 was awesome! If you can find a way to watch it, you definitely should.

I heard that Amanda is a nurse so idk if it applies to her. And Cory/tony seem to be thriving off-show IRL (not that they WON'T come back of course) but i respect that their real life trumps the show aka the source of income is not vital to their living

Cory has a degree and is a licensed personal trainer he’d had work if he wasn’t on TV. I don’t know what Tony does tho
I can't judge someone for always coming back becaus I imagine they're getting paid pretty well. That coupled with being able to travel and if you like to compete - well, it has to be appealing.
What I think is obnoxious is terrible competitors or people who never have a chance to win that keep coming back. Also obnoxious is if you don't evolve/mature over time doing these. If you're over 30 and you're still the same ******* character each season, forcing drama and trying to remain relevant with schtick.... it just gets old.
Edit: I will say that if you do keep coming back season after season after season after season without any breaks if even just a single season..... it becomes annoying. @john @cara

The only ones that really applies to are Jenna and Nelson actually. And they've been around a significantly shorter time (3/4 years?) than the "career Challengers".
Amanda has a career. Being a nurse requires a good amount of education and dedication. I think Zach manages a crossfit gym which is respectable too. Ashley invests her money so doesn't really need a 9-5 with how much she's won if she's smart about it. Cory personal trains. I've heard Tony works 2 jobs when he's at home.
Cara and Bananas and CT have been on this show for over a decade and have yet to really do anything with their careers or their winnings. That's what I was referring to. Cara has been trying to be Emily for like 8 years but does nothing but her Etsy shit and some kickboxing classes in bum **** nowhere. CT invests poorly but obviously not well enough like Wes to not come back. And Bananas has done absolutely nothing other than buy his parents' house for $1 to avoid paying taxes.

Fair enough we just disagree about many especially Tony Zach and Ashley. I still don't CT is in the same conversation as Cara/John using your argument. I'm fine with putting Cara/John in a league of their own.

There was so much drama, politics, backstabbing, etc. on the girls team. The guys team was uber boring. They just voted off whoever was in last place. Which looking back, it was an admirable group of guys. They were humble and respectable towards each other, not like the dopes we have now. But yeah, Sexes 1 was awesome! If you can find a way to watch it, you definitely should.
Also when watching this season you can see past Shane and how much nicer her was compared to current Shane. lol.
Sexes 1's girls team was amazing. Final season for a lot of them sadly, but they were great!
