Behind the Screen: Svetlana Shusterman

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.

ROFL, no she is NOT...not even close. Svetlana's personality may suck in some people's eyes but she is absolutely hot as hell, even hotter than McKenzie. To be honest, there are plenty of girls I've seen on these shows that are hotter than McKenzie. I mean, McKenzie is good looking for sure and she's got a nice body ect. but she isn't on Svetlana's level IMO.

Funny you said that if you actually read and saw the posts on her tumblr, she's actually the exact opposite. Svez is no longer the "rich spoiled" girl that MTV portrayed her as, and it's that type of ignorance that makes her really not come back to MTV at all.

Exactly.

"it's that type of ignorance" ??? Allow me to sum things up and then tell me if I'm ignorant: A. She auditions for Real World by bragging about her breast size and calling herself a drama queen and bragging that boys are her "pets" B. Goes to Key West where she is portrayed as the rich spoiled whiny girl who is made fun of by her castmates for the dumb things she says. While it was mean at times, many can probably agree that they would have held the same regard if they had to live with her.* Oh yeah, and she was totally hot.* C. She goes on the Duel where she didn't come off nearly as bad and with some luck and one great duel against Kina, got to the final. Things should have been looking up at this point.* D. Wins hottest female E. Decides to further her MTV reality career by taping a "My Super Sweet Sixteen" episode for her 21st B-day -- The absolute perfect choice for someone who is upset at being portrayed by MtV as a spoiled whiny brat F. Then, resulting from living off personal appearance fees at bars and college campuses, cultivated a drug habit bad enough to send her into rehab.* G. Now she keeps a blog where she can write about how much she's grown up and fed up and blah blah blah and all the suckers who are blinded by her hotness lap it up like a puppy dog (see above where she claims men are her pets).* The beauty about keeping a blog is that she has the power to write anything she sees fit to construct her ideal image. Not to say she's not sincere in expressing what's on her mind, but I don't expect you'll ever read that: "oh today I *was back to my whiny old self because some guy said such and such etc.* I would LOVE to see her do another challenge so that I can see for myself the person she has become now. And I want to see if she still is hot!

I always liked Svetlana, she was good value. Definitely don't dig her Mtv/**** comparisons at all though :/ ...weird and uncomfortable way to transition from long time lurker to poster but, there you go.

If your username is taken from the band Save Ferris - we can totally geek out together. If it's from the movie...I guess we still can. But with slightly less vigor.

It's not that I have any doubts regarding the success of rehab, but enroute to the awards bash earlier this year, in MTV's chartered van, she expressed considerable interest in getting high as soon as possible. She was sitting next to someone who is a known expert in the field of recreational pharmacology.
Wow, I had no idea about any of this. The awards bash was after The Duel filmed, right?? Craziness. Hope she has got better, would love to see her on another challenge. I found a twitter that I'm pretty sure is hers: @LAXSvet. Anybody know for sure? Seems real to me.

Johnny has said that it's fake, but it does seem very real.

The one Johnny said was fake was @MTVSvet or something like that. This is a different twitter.

No, it's the same person she just renamed the twitter.

What makes you say it's fake? Not saying you are wrong just wondering what makes you say it's fake? I've seen her converse with a few RW/RR people, are they just wrong?

It's all over the forum. Johnny has stated that that twitter isn't the real Svetlana.

I asked Aneesa and she claimed that it is her. I know it only said yes but it's because I couldn't find my original tweet. User image

I keep forgetting that Svetlana was on the same season as the likes of Paula and Bananas. Its crazy how The Challenges can make you forget things.

I think that might have been another fake Svetlana account. This one is being followed by Jemmye, Knight, Cohutta, Jazmine, Paula, Noor, Aneesa and a bunch of girls from the Bad Girls Club.....and I've also seen her tweet back and forth with Paula. I really don't know for sure (or even at the end of the day really care, lol) but I'm thinking there is a big chance this is actually Svetlana.

The other account that Johnny said was fake was @SvetMTV. @LAXSvet and @SvetMTV are the same person, they just renamed their Twitter. I honestly have no idea if it's real or not. User image User image

I don't think Svetlana would have a twitter name with 'MTV' at the end of it since on her formspring a while back, she basically said that she'd rather not associate herself with MTV anymore.
Fritty72490#85
I agree I can't figure it out either! I want to believe it's her, I want to believe Aneesa, but I can't get over what she said on her blog and formspring.

Aneesa may not even know. Svetlana said they don't keep in touch, although they randomly run into each other throughout the country.

She should return to the challenges.

Maybe Svetlana should simply do what's right for her.

I agree, if the cards were in her favor. It would be nice to see her on at least one more.

I really thought since Paula, Johnny, and Tyler have been on challenges that Svetlana would have been on one by now. She was kind of lucky in the Duel 1 and I love to see her again.

Actually now that you think about it. Svetlana would be a refreshing face if she were ever to do another challenge.
