Behind the Screen: The Ruins: Veronica Portillo - 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 think that she should go out with a bang and it certainly looks like she makes a major impact on this one...

SHe does look like she made a bang, that's all that matters...

I would rather see her make a bang on one than do 2 not really stand out.
Dartagnan#65
Let's just be happy she came back for one.

I agree:)

JC: So do you have any lasting resentment towards Katie? VP: Not at all. I’m sure she does for me, but I feel like it was such a long time ago. I would hope that if we went back to do a show together, we wouldn’t be instant enemies. I would hope that we weren’t instand enemies, but I think she holds a lot more resentment to me than I do for her. I don’t really care, though, it’s like whatever. Since then, I’ve had many other people that I don’t really like. JC: Would would that be exactly? VP: Like Tonya from The Real World: Chicago and Julie from The Real World: New Orleans.

Haha that's so like Veronica...telling the honest truth. At least she didn't cover it up. And i think that Veronica would make a bang on any challenge she does in the future whether it's 1 or 2 more.

JC: Good. When you are all done with MTV, what do you want to do with your life? What do you want to do when you “grow up”? VP: I want to be a Toys-R-Us kid! No, I don’t know. I’m doing it. I enjoy what I’m doing. I also go around to schools and speak about issues like eating disorders. So I keep myself pretty busy. I don’t see any of what I’m doing changing in the next couple of years. I hope that my company grows, but I don’t see any of what I’m doing right now changing anytime soon.
Haha! I love her! I know that interview is 2 and a half years old, but it made me chuckle that she said her and Rachel were besties.

I didn't know Veronica and Wes were friends going into this show. Interesting.

That interview was in 2007.

Well maybe they stayed in touch.....which could be key to an alliance between her, Wes, and Darrell.

I'm pretty sure Darrell and Wes were not in an alliance from what the trailer showed.

Well you never know.....they could've started out as an alliance and then got pissed at each other...IDK why I'm even speculating. We'll just have to wait and see.
saltvinegar#75
It seems like Darrell was just looking for a fight. I guess he found one...
dplayer18#76
I wasn't much of a Veronica fan, but I'm interested to see if she's changed or still the same.
saltvinegar#77
I would put money on the second

They should do a MMA challenge her and EV would be the Match of the Century.

How will it be match of the century, if Ev will completely destroy her? LOL. I'd love to see an MMA fight between V and Tonya :D.
saltvinegar#84
Id love to see an MMA fight between Rachel and Veronica:D
coolcat#85
V is probably the only person I love to hate in these challenges, She's a great villain, I LOVE everything about her, I really hope she makes it far , she always finds a way to manipulate people , she knows how to play these games.

Now personally I have been a fan of Veronica for the same reasons and seeing her again will be nice because drama comes with her. Though she might not run the game as much as she might have in the past.

It's cause before when she did challenges, she knew a lot of them already and had past experiences with many of them. Now, there's a lot of newer people who have already made alliances so it's a WHOLE new game. She never really started "running" the game until the inferno 1, it took her a while...
dplayer18#88
I think she may be in the same situation that Rachel was in on the Island.
faceless#89
There are new people, but there are people she already knows, Derrick, Brad, Darrell, Syrus, Adam, Tonya, Katie, Ibis. The way I think of it is, she's not that great. I'm trying to think of I1 and I2 and she didn't really run the show. She just had people on her team (her entire team against Katie, I2 her, Rachel, and Tina against Tonya) who agreed with her. She kinda reminds me of Johnny and Kenny, she was the mouth piece of the group. She's loud, in your face, and annoying. Make sense? 100 points for me.

Veronica really only "ran the show" on Inferno 1. She talked her team into throwing the mission so that Veronica could win the Lifesaver and send Katie into the Inferno. Battle of the Sexes 2, she got what she had coming, and Inferno 2 everyone disliked Beth. That wasn't Veronica's doing.
