Behind the Screen: The Challenge: All Stars- Mark Long

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.

The Challenge: All Stars- Mark Long

kvm1977 ·

The women get called out for being full of themselves (Kam) so I'm calling out this mf. I don't care if he's the Hulk at 60. He's too in love with himself and being an OG 

Also, I love him so much forgetting the ball rolling.

First off, men get called out just as much if not more.  Fessy, Josh, Jordan on Free Agents, David on G2, Wes for about his last 10 challenges, Nelson, Cory, Hunter, etc.  The list of men criticized is absurd

Second, Mark has accomplished far more than John.  Mark's never gone home unless it was by his own choice. 

Third, Kam gets called about because she's winless.  Win something then talk a big game.  This is her 5th season--she better find a way to win especially looking at the other girls

I'm not a Mark fan. Nice guy, not sure why he annoys me lol. I appreciate him putting this together but hopefully he joins production after this and doesn't actually do more.

Agreed something about the guys rubs me the wrong way, hopefully this time he wont throw an elimination

He seems to cocky to me and they why he was introduced and showing off his muscles was annoying.

anon12423452355...#39

His muscles look steroids grown.

dylan76#40

He can go home on the next guys' elimination & I will be perfectly fine with it.

same, him on production might make it better chances for people to wanna come and do it

I'm confused by this--Mark is pretty much loved by everyone (other than maybe Brad) that ever did the show.  He's never once acted better than other people.  He even held Aneesa's hand and literally pulled her to a finish on The Duel 2 final.  Mark is forever 25 but a bad person (or even cocky) he is not.   He should be proud of how he's built at 50--most people were never in that good of shape at any age.

i mean I like him but I'm not a huge fan

Mark seems like a super nice guy, very genuine. I liked him a lot in the old school era. There's just something about him that annoys me now. Nothing personal.

Yeah, I get that--he's big on promotion and he's always "on".   The cockiness stuff threw me off.  He's definitely someone could for the show though because he's great on camera when doing GMA and other shows.  I'm not saying people should root for him (I'm not) but he's well-meaning at the very least which is a welcome relief from a lot of the people we see.

Rather have Mark than Bananas

Anyone remember some controversy he was involved with, with some women I saw a post on Reddit a while back about it? 

rwportland2#49

I don't mind him but I don't respect him as much for letting Bananas beat him on Exes. 

Aspiring#50

I don't mind him but I don't respect him as much for letting Bananas beat him on Exes. 

Or letting the guys eliminated him on Battle of the Sexes 2 so Arissa could stay on the other team.

He makes me cringe and the cast is really kissing his ***

his old *** constantly flexing his muscles on the aftershow was so cringe.

seems like he's trying to overcompensate lol

PinkRose#53

He is very egocentric and self absorbed so in love with himself...

Flopnanas#54

He needs to get off the show and show off those geriatric muscles on onlyfans instead I think people would care more there.

You knew the would. He is the "executive producer", sounds like a conflict of interest. Hopefully he is behind the scenes from here on out.

Bananasisoverrated#56

He admitted to throwing the elimination to John, this past episode. Mark Long is a quitter he quit on Robin on Exes smh

flyguy#57

him and derrick are the only anchors to this season 

Gucci Mane#58

Mark has a....weird hatred for Kendal

Mark always made deals to ensure he had money. I would have liked to have seen him kill John but Robin couldn't have handled a final...it was his best move to get money.

Now I'm glad he never came back because of that but I also don't blame him if the goal was to get cash. 

flyguy#60

third place was guaranteed money, he had no reason to throw that ESPECIALLY since it was a partner season. leave it up to this guy to still find a way to make Mark seem justified in it tho

I assure you he got more money by throwing it than if he had finished 3rd. I'm not saying it isn't messed up or unfair to Robin.
