Behind the Screen: Return to Duty: Ryan Conklin - MTV

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.

I thought it was very sweet when Baya gave Ryan her present. I had no idea that the whole "It is what it is. It's kinda ridiculous." quote was the way they describe their relationship. I know they both said the same at the Reunion, but i didn't think it was THAT important of a quote for the two of them.:) The other quote, "I never met a Baya before." was so cute and silly. Ryan and Baya are really just so cute and great together! And that's no lie.

I hope they do an interview with him when he comes back. While I loved the special I did left feeling a little unfufilled, like it should have been two hours or a mini-series almost like other people said. I almost wished they had filmed it sporadically throughout his tour and then even when he comes back so we could have a beginning to end type of documentary. I guess they didn't want to wait that long though.

Still not impossible--they could do a followup and help him promote his book. I would really rather see him in an actual interview with someone not from MTV to press him a little more substantively. I think he is a smart guy who would have some interesting insights but he hides behind a comical easy-going facade and interviewers let him get away with that.
