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.

Give it up with Averey!

He is going to be disappointed lmao

She'll be pregnant with adam soon.

He was very adamant in his Zach interview that he's done having children. He's about to turn 47.

I don't know her lol, but I think Averey's perfectly happy just helping raise his girls. She has a lot of trauma from her terrible parents so I feel like that combined with a lack of familial support makes her current life scenario perfect for her.

I would legit be devastated lol. Survivor sucks nowadays. I'd be done with RTV.

Johnny Middlebrooks should film this while House of Villains 3 airs! I suggest Jeremiah White come to join him. Ray Gantt and Cinco can come too.

Are the recent Love Islanders even available? Does anyone know how long the contract they sign for Peacock actually lasts?

as of love island games season 1, it was only 3 months. Idk if they changed that since the show skyrocketed though

Did anyone from LIG1 appear on another network after?

Okay, but from what I can tell, there was a full 18+ month gap between the end of LIG1 and PM3.

Has anyone from Love Island 6 shown up on a different network yet?

I don't want the challenge canceled but if it does production deserves it for their tomfoolery.

So Netflix let Justine go back to Peacock for a season almost immediately but we have no confirmation of the opposite yet, right?

JaNa also did the Destination X show, but that was also for Peacock/NBC.

I just feel like the most recent Love Islanders that will be available are the Season 6ers and everyone from 7 and LIG2 will be off limits.

gabbydawn#250

how big was the gap for LIG and Aussie Shore? Callum is on that

Sportsman180#251

10-11 months.

Does Peacock care that much about exclusivity? Netflix letting Justine back on there says something about them, but not the other way around. 

And, Cedric ended up on this season less than six months after BB26 ended, so are these contracts as strict anymore?

It's been so long since I went out for a while and came back to over 50 post. Vevmo is half alive!

The Viacom/CBS/Paramount/MTV umbrella is different than hopping between them and Peacock/Netflix/ABC/Discovery/etc.

I still cannot find a scenario where a person on a Peacock show hopped to do another US network's show in under 9 months from the start of their Peacock show.

The closest example I have right now is Dylan Efron on Traitors 3 which started in January of this year and then he went on DWTS in September.

s7 is basically off limits because theyre either on BTV2 or theyre above doing reality tv shows now or just nobodies of the season.

s6 isnt gonna do the challenge because theyre all over doing reality tv except maybe someone like kenny or kendall (puke).  Or theyre already doing other shows (rob with traitors, danielas on a netflix show I forget which).

I feel like the best options are someone like middlebrooks who the challenge is already paying dust, plus he did HOV so I dont know if hed be eligible

Id love to see Callum on the challenge, but I think he may be over reality tv too. Hes only doing two quick appearances on aussie shore, hes not a season regular anymore

Yeah, that was my whole point. I feel like Peacock is running a tight ship over there. They are keeping their real talented 15-20 contestants close to the vest and likely 90% of the ones that have been discarded aren't worth coming on this anyway.

If the non-compete contract is roughly 9 months from the beginning of Love Island 7 which was beginning of June, then it misses the deadline here because that's March.

We're not getting a plethora of new Love Island rookies. If we get more than 1 man and 1 woman, I'd be shocked.

GoldenRing#257

Josh wants to do the Challenge still, but if Peacock has him in a chokehold for the next nine months , he's shit outta luck.

It's only about three names for LIG2 I think would be interesting on here. But, there's people in the archives (CBS and Peacock) they should be looking at. I feel like Leo being relatively visible and Olivia being pushed heavily in the edit might mean they're willing to do more with them, but who knows.

gabbydawn#258

im good missing out on the LIG2 cast. Even the people i liked like Josh and Garbi aren't people im clambering to see

pretty like kam, a bit brolic like tori, but she's not botched like olivia so I don't see that comparison Smile

GoldenRing#264

I think they meant decently tall with some meat on her bones. 

GoldenRing#265

Imani made those LIG challenges look like she was running through a playground.

Imma send her some puzzles so she don't sniped by something stupid.
