Behind the Screen: When will Fresh Meat/Key West pass the torch?

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 saw that this morning on facebook and thought the same thing lol...

I forgot she got married fairly recently, but didn't know she had a baby! What did she have?

I didn't know that either. I'm happy for Jodi.

Doubt Kenny/Evan/Johnny and company will "pass the torch" anytime soon unless they arne't involved in anymore challenges. Even if it's just Evan alone by himself he'll justr ally up another set of people that will join him and Johnny and Kenny for the next one.

Well, that's what everyone thought was going to happen with Veronica/Miz/Coral/etc, and it didn't.

Well Miz did.

I don't see them ever passing the torch because I honestly see these ******* on my tv forever. FOREVER. I know people said that when V, Miz, Coral, and co. all owned the challenges but I really don't ever see Kenny or Evan or any of these people being like "Nope I'm done." One of the major reasons people haven't come back is because of how different the shows/casts are nowadays, so unless there is a very drastic change, I don't see them leaving. And really, the challenges were filmed much closer together in the era of Coral and Veronica, so really it was partially them being on so many challenges in so little time that made people aggravated. Gauntlet-Inferno 2 were those challenges and those were in '03-'05. Well, Fresh Meat and Key West were both in '06... and now it's about to be 2010, and we're still seeing them over... and over... and over. So yeah I don't think there will be any torch passing.

Hopefully Brooklynn Goess good I like them all Except Jose I think thats his name... Anyways Fresh Meat 2 Will take over as will Key West Still Hopefully its Fresh Meats Versus each other Like Kenny vs. Whoever

I hope the younger Fresh Meat as they join the group of younger competitors and pushes them out. The people eventually have to realize they stand in the way of them making money and they really don't need them. Just as they did to Coral and past alumni.
Anonymous#75
They need to pass the torch but I don't mind seeing the in future challenges and when I say future I mean future lol
Entropy#76
My take on this, as long as BMP keeps inviting them back and ignoring the other casts, they will keep coming back. I mean honestly would you say no to: being paid to go to some exotic locale, where you live in a great house, have ur food and drinks provided for you and have the oportunity to win a lot of cash?

I agree I don't think that Stale Meat/Key West will pass the torch...But I think that everyone else that comes on the challenges need to start taking control of the game and not just sit and wait to be eliminated.

And for once I agree with you, but I don't see the same alliance taking over the show if its still on in 2020. Right now, people need to start working against them.

Easier said than done. Even if you do manage to beguile your way into the graces of the Cool Kids Club(tm), it would take an unearthly amount of subterfuge to dismantle their well-laid plans. Most of these people have every caveat figured out before their ***** are even on the plane. Not to mention that there are more than just a few people in the house who show up for the added attention and a fat paycheck, contribute nothing, and are mere drama / cannon fodder. *cough* Paula *cough* Who said that? Besides, even if a different crowd did take control over the mind games wouldn't people just grow to loathe them as well two challenges down the line?

Awesome post Kate, same thing happened with Miz/Veronica/Rachel/Coral in the old challenges, now its JEK.

Hey, I agree, this is what I've been saying all along. It went from the the Corals, Miz, Veronica's etc. to the JEK, Paula, Johanna, etc. Nobody seems to get that around here. Never said it was easy, but its better than sitting around and *****ing how they win every season, at least whoever isn't in the alliance can try.

If FM/KW are taken over, it will probably be the challenge after FM2. There are going to be a lot of newbies from FM2, DC and Cancun doing their first challenge, and they willl likely band together. Also, I feel like the people who dislike the JEK alliance dislike everyone in the alliance. When Mike, Coral, Abe, Veronica ect. were in control I feel like everyone had their favorite.

Maybe for you. I personally couldn't stand them during their glory days. I would much rather have them than Kenny, Evan, et al., but that's mostly nostalgia sinking in. It didn't hurt that the challenges were just better in those days.
Desertpuma#85
Yeah, the earlier Challenges were just better overall

Oh please I'm willing to bet it wouldn't be that damn hard to overthorw JEK. They aren't that damn good and definetly can be beaten. And TJ in response to your post I personally never got tired of Miz/Coral/Abe mainly because they actually brought something to the shows and they were for the most part likable and were ACUTAL CASTMEMBERS. You can't even say most of that about JEK.
Anonymous#87
Debut, I'm sure Kate would know more than you how hard it would be to overthrow the alliance, since you know, she's done a challenge. You really need to get over that "actual castmember" stuff or move on. Its old and tired, you seem to be the only one who gets riled up about it anymore.

Tell me about it! They are cast members. People just need to either deal with it or change the station.

LOL, I want to put you in a box and carry it with me all the time so every time I need to hear something funny I crack open the box for you to say something.
