Behind the Screen: The Challenge 42: Spoiler Free

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.

Does production even like nurice lol. I MUCH prefer her and ravyn over olivia...

Laurel's getting married and maybe preggers. Kailah is CERTAINLY not getting the money she wants now that the budget's been cut...

Laurel's getting married and maybe preggers. Kailah is CERTAINLY not getting the money she wants now that the budget's been cut. I doubt Marie's committing to a flagship filming length with her daughter. And I cannot stand Berna lol.

But absolutely to Kam Amanda, Nurys, and Ravyn.

You will be surprised 

I mean if they get Kailah and Marie, that's a win for the franchise for sure. I think I can only take one more of Laurel...

And ugh if Berna whines through a whole season!

She def missed out on paychecks for AS5 and 41 with her nonsense. Let's hope cool heads prevail!!!

Sportsman180#35

Also, why are they trying to purge all the spinoff people? Why can't Grant, Kiki, Justine and Cassidy get some freaking callbacks!!!

OS Kajun#36

Nurys, johnny middlebrooks and berna are needed

No the hell Bertha is NOT

Challenge 17#37

Kailah is overrated tbh. Nia ended her on allstars 3 with the "we're not friends, I've known you three weeks"

Sportsman180#38

I will not accept another pairs season. I am so burned out on pairs. Even with AS5 ending well and 41 being pretty good.

Either give me two big teams in a Ruins format or three teams in a Cutthroat style format!

Or just copy Free Agents and be a wonderful chaotic mess of a format.

NO PAIRS.

The only thing I dislike about two teams is there's a distinct chance that one team is filled with saboteurs and loses every daily on purpose and votes the rest of their team in over and over again.

KING ED returning to provide for the baby 

disgusting 

killakashhh#45

Hopefully jordan pi^ssed prod off enough to not get called we need new male champs 

Challenge 17#46

If you want a team challenge be prepared for what comes with that, the same people thrown in over and over until they go home while the team with more people wins every mission because production doesn't understand a sit out bench

Love era 1 but they needa be the AS cast 

OS Kajun#48

Love era 1 but they needa be the AS cast 

Agreed. Era 1 and 2 ONLY for All Stars and Era 3 & 5 plus new rookies for 42!

Sportsman180#49

Love era 1 and 2 but they needa be the AS cast

I like Ed a lot but I can admit he brings nearly nothing.

all he did was be a follower until he got purged lol

GoldenRing#52

I never need to see Ed again. He and Emanuel on my shit list.

killakashhh#53

They literally did the 1 winner bs for no reason on 39 lol

Emanuel is another I BETTER NEVER see again.

Challenge 17#56

I want 3 or 4 teams again, eras had a good premise but they ruined it with the execution. 

Sportsman180#57

I want 3 or 4 teams again, eras had a good premise but they ruined it with the execution. 

Yeah I think three teams of 12 would be a  fantastic start. And 24 vets and 12 rookies is a good balancd.

I would say Champs vs Contenders vs Rookies is the only one with a hook for the casuals to come watch.

If you even do something fun like Brain vs Beauty vs Brawn, there's a chance the theme is too niche and obscure to bring in the less dedicated fans.

killakashhh#58

40 was horrible casting. If you wanted a monumental season then cast ACTUAL icons and legends. Not productions friends who could literally be on any other season. (Devin, Aneesa...)

Psy4potato#59

Fingers crossed we get more season 40 type casting on this, bring some era 1 & 2 people on this 

To do exactly what get humbled by era 4 & 5?

bring some real personalities to the table - even if they don't last long. Would rather see Tina or Veronica over Olivia, Michelle etc. personal preference but that's what I want 

Dreamdoll#60

Pink that AI is crazy knowing blastin well 3 of them don't like each other lol

Psy4potato#61

Love era 1 but they needa be the AS cast 

Agreed. Era 1 and 2 ONLY for All Stars and Era 3 & 5 plus new rookies for 42!

yes if AS can stay only era 1 & 2 then yes, but if they're giving us horrible cast members like Fessy, Turbo, the Christmas show guy, etc on AS then they deserve spots on flagship
