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.

It really sucks because having 28-32 players per season is the ideal BUT I gotta constantly push for 34-36 BECAUSE Aneesa, Leroy, Devin, Derrick, Derek types are CONSTANTLY WASTING 8 TO 10 SPOTS. DROP...

DROP THE 40+ CROWD.

at this point kits disrespectful. Wasting spots that could've went to more prepared and entertaining challengers we haven't seen in a minute. But production prioritizes casting their friends which is why they are in danger of getting canceled ha! Smile

Swear up n down she's jealous, flooding her comments and stories with racist shit and ******* gifs of that trifling ***** with their multiple burner accounts. I'm good on that.

GoldenRing#125

There's enough racists on the cast as is.

There's so many challengers in the last 5-7 seasons that only did 1-2 shows that need another chance

Sportsman180#133

Like if you can pull of a miracle and get 8 of the 13 people I listed, 8 of the 41 new threats, the best 8 new rookies you can find, and 8 non-awful vets, you got a real stew cooking.

GoldenRing#134

The only Sam we need.

Sportsman180#142

Sportsman180#143

Brit Sam could be fun. Especially if Kailah's in the house and taking heavy fire.

I've been hyping him in the pre-41 thread and the Rookie thread for a year now lol.

Sportsman180#148

Sam Phalen

Age: 25

First RTV Appearance:

Survivor 47

Sam has so much potential to be a staple on the franchise. He's got "leading man" swagger and good looks. He has a good physical game and a decent social game. But his bread and butter is the strategic game. Operation Italy was *chef's kiss*. And he has a flair for the dramatic. A great confessionalist and a natural public speaker (he's an NFL sideline reporter), Sam is exactly what The Challenge need moving forward: confident, young, athletic, and WANTS TO WIN.

He needs to get better at carnival games in general and he lacks life experience so he comes off a little immature but he's could be a staple on The Challenge for the next 5+ years. He honestly felt a little miscast for Survivor, in my opinion. Like Sydney, he has a cynical arrogant swagger that is much more adapted to The Challenge.

Best Quality for The Challenge: Personality - gamer, cutthroat, arrogant, smart.

Worst Quality for The Challenge: He's married. No hookups.

it's annoying that the show is so athletic now that potentially great rookies are declining. Genevieve was messy 

Flopnanas#150

im surprised xander from survivor 41 hasnt been in ANYTHING since then... 

Challenge 17#151

I don't even remember y'all discussing a Sam from survivor when the hell was he ok the show 

Hes alright. They are overhyping him a bit. They just cast awful men which makes him seem better
