Behind the Screen: Tyrie's Gauntlet 3 Deception?

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.

Tyrie's Gauntlet 3 Deception?

V1man ·
It is amazing what tales come my way from inside sources. Someone with a vested interest wants us all to know that Tyrie is not the stand-up guy he wants us to believe. My source revealed that Tyrie did not have a girlfriend facing immediate heart surgery at the beginning of Gauntlet 3 taping. He apparently just wimped out. There was a lot of bad blood on set and he just didn't want to be there, having seen a future on the challenge much akin to his inauspicious loss during Inferno 3. Some questions to which I don't know the full answers in sufficient detail to print: 1) Did Tyrie get paid for the time he was there or did BMP enforce their contract option and not pay him? Did they insist he reimburse BMP for the cost of his travel? 2) Did BMP know his reason for departing was faked? 3) Did BMP participate or even create the cover up story? 4) Given this revelation, why was he cast for this challenge when there are many others who would give their left nut to be on any challenge. PS... Yes, I've securely stored the "full monty" of this story from the source, just in case it will be useful later.

I THINK THIS IS A SHAM ON TYRIE'S CHARACTER. WHY WOULD YOU LIE ABOUT A PERSON'S FORM OF HEALTH LIKE THAT. AND I THINK HE REALLY DOES HAVE A GIRLFRIEND AT THE END OF THE DAY. I WONDER WHAT SHE THINKS.

Inasmuch as the message I received recently confirms what I heard directly from Puerto Vallarta last year when Tryie departed and the subsequent fact-based speculation posted at speakreality.com, I'm comfortable with the two known reiable sources I have. Without any evidence to support that it "is a sham on Tyrie's character," I'll stick with the info I received from two independent sources who did not know the other had provided me with similar information. The ball is in your court --- or Tyrie's (PS, why are you "shouting" in all caps?)

I didn't mean sham on your part (or that you're lying ), but Tyrie's. Perhaps I should've used the word shame like i did initially but re-edited midway. Sorry about the Caps Lock, im also using a different message board where there's like 990000 members and quick responses. Its the only way to sort of stand out.

I don't even know what to say about this..... If BMP was in the loop then they should be ashamed for pushing such a cover story. If they were not, they should be ashamed that they got duped. Tyrie's stock has plummeted in my eyes with these latest revelations.

I wouldn't be so quick to believe "inside sources". Tyrie did infact leave the challenge to be by my side in a Los Angeles hospital. Normally I wouldn't comment on rumors or someone "claiming to have info", but Tyrie is NOT the type of person to back down from a challenge, and is simply family oriented and values his loved ones more than a limelight or money. I can tell you though that he is really looking forward to this challenge, the past 8 months he has lost quite abit of weight (as you can tell from the real world award show), he's been running and spending alot of time in the gym, so to say he's not a competitor and not focused is far from the truth. I'm sure he will do great.

There are always two sides to every story. The first two separate and independent source were directly from from the Gauntlet 3 challenge site in Mexico last year, and the third source was more recent and claimed to have direct knowledge of what happened. Does Tyrie have enemies inside the MTV family? This is fascinating. Well, at least your position is now on record to Tyrie's benefit.

I wont go into the possibilities of Ty having enemies, people will put whatever spin on something that they'd like to. What's wrong with him valuing his loved ones more than running through a maze on the beach blind folded and all of the constant high school drama that comes from these shows. My final comment on the situation would be that if there was any truth to this rumor I seriously doubt mtv would have invited him for another one. Not angry, just clearing the air and making sure his character isn't being tarnished due to a rumor.

When it comes to many people who appear on MTV, I've discoved that it is always wise to suspend belief, so it is good to have a somewhat outside view as yours is (nice myspace page, by the way). It would be nice to have your opinion on the show as it airs, so I hope you will be with us in the Fall. With respect to your penultimate sentence, though, I'd differ with you only in one respect and that is that BMP has been known to change their minds about people. In Panama now with Tyrie is someone who has twice been throw off a show for fighting. Following the events on Viewer's Revenge, BMP said Abram would never return, yet he has.

You should never invite me to sue anyone. Never. Never. You have no idea the absolute pure pleasure I receive from asking questions during depositions. Someday, perhaps in the not too distant future, I'll have the opportunity to be attached to a civil action against BMP. Oh, the questions I have in mind to ask, and ask, and ask... :hang1::D:suicide2:

Yes, unless they are sealed by the court. That generally only happens in cases involving minors. Some depositions may be initially sealed but eventually come out if they are used in open court. Some are sealed and yet are leaked to the press and others.
