Behind the Screen: Real World/Road Rules/The Challenge: Where Are They Now

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.

Where are you again? And define "nowhere". That's really not cool to say.

All I think about when Nick Browns name pops up on here is when he brought his business cards on the Duel 2 LOL

Late update: Even though I wish Cooke would come back for another challenge, not only did she turn pro and playing with Chicago Red Stars, she got picked up and is now playing on a pro team in Sweden. And, she is trying to go to the Chelsea Ladies FC trials in August. Best of luck to that girl.

Is Bananas seriously unemployed? What does CT currently do for a living outside of Challenges?

Good for her! Maybe we'll see her in the Olympics one day!

Maybe even the World Cup. It sucks cause she won't be doing anymore challenges. Though, she said she was made for Free Agents. Her soccer career is 1000x better then being on MTV.

I don't like Cooke. Sure, she's good at football/soccer. But I only cheer for people personally when they seem to be good people.
KelliJordan#134
Cooke plays (or played) for Philippines who have never qualified for the World Cup or Olympics, so unfortunately I doubt we'll ever see her. I'm a Chicago Red Stars fan so it sucked to see her not get picked by the team during tryouts, but glad she found somewhere else to play.

Good question. i'm sure nobody would want to be associated with him or his lackeys. However with CT I am sure he'll find something productive...eventually.

Had the biggest crush on her when I was younger. She looks just as good [if not better than she did] Chances of seeing her again are slim but still holding out

She wants to return. If only they'd give her the call.

She wanted to return in 2012, things change a lot in 2 years. We don't know if she will return in 2014 or she have a change of heart.

This is my biggest thing when people talk about people like Mallory or Elka coming back. Yeah, they said it was possible that they would come back... several years ago. Mallory and Elka, in particular, everyone seems to assume they'd come back, but both of those assumptions are based on ambiguous tweets. I don't remember Elka's, but Mallory's said something like "It would've been fun, who knows?" in response to a Paris team on Seasons... which was not even contacted because they were looking for "new generation" competitors for that season. Additionally, it has been several years and things can change a lot... So, I'm never sold on people like Mallory, Elka, Steven, or even Leah actually saying yes if they were actually even contacted for a Challenge.

Leah was like 3 months ago and she say she was up to a challenge. I think that's more reliable than Steven tweet from when Portland premiere or Mallory tweet from 2 years ago.

Oh, you're right about Leah, I forgot that. Was it Simon I was thinking of? EDIT: Nope, just looked. Simon responded to Leah's tweet. I know there's someone else I was not convinced on but I can't remember who it was.

I should have acknowledged that her interest in returning was quite some time ago. I cannot find the tweet, but I do recall Mallory stating she would return if the opportunity presented itself.

Was it Kefla? He's the only other one I can recall showing interest on twitter, and he directly tweeted BMP about wanting to come back, but like Mallory, that was in late 2012.

Thinking about it, there are a lot of people who have expressed interest in the past couple of years that could have possibly moved on by now. -Mallory -Elka -Steven -Kefla -Karamo -Belou -Jisela under certain conditions -Ayanna under certain conditions -Cara Z under certain conditions -Arissa -Frank R -Will Gilbert -Ashley L -Mike M -Josh C -Andrew -Erika -Ashli -Cameran -Carley -Tina -Veronica -Bronne -Dan W -Danny J -Big Easy -Davis -Derek M -Noor -Robb -Ryan K -Syrus Wow, it wasn't until I started making this list that I realized how long it was... but there's really a lot of people who have been ambiguous about making a return.

The problem with people coming back, and I stated this a few years (wow it's been a while) ago, is that's not what the current viewer knows and is familiar with. The age range that MTV is targeting is the 16-28 year range more than likely. And over half of this age group has no idea who half the "Old School" Challengers are because they started watching the show post Fresh Meat 1. But I'm glad there are a few still out there that want to come back.

I never watched Real World Paris so I don't know really who Mallory is but did her and Ace actually date? I want too see Ace back so bad so that would be cool if they were an Exes pair.

Yes. They were together on Inferno 1.

I found some recent pictures of Danny from X-Treme. Turns out he's living in NYC

Marie is looking good, I hope we see her come back next season. She's lost weight so she may not have the size advantage she once had, but she'd likely still be a force. 5017 5018

Queen Marie, oh how I would love to see her back on a challenge.
