Behind the Screen: The Challenge Argentina: El Desafio Episodes Discussion

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 can't believe this is the only successful spinoff lmaoooo the one we can't watch in English 

I think it shows why Telefe is the biggest channel out all of the other 5 their strategy was the smartest from the promo and the time they pick to air it. Airing it Monday to Thursday right before big brother was so smart because the audience for that show will be watching it waiting for it to start.

This is eating

This is not bad at all, is actually better than the last few seasons of US main show.

The love triangle, the underdogs, a few of them being mentally checked out, the kids and oldies all mixed up is working fine until now.

RobbKingo#37

Those numbers are good enough for another season? By the way someone post the episodes on here the day after it airs

It's not guaranteed.

It took me a while to get used to it but this is better if you watch 2 episodes back to back because it's basically one 90 mins episode. I have enjoyed the eliminations episodes more than the dailies ones because it focus more on the house dynamics and politicking.

Thinking I'll give this a chance but I can't handle Argentinian accents so idk

I agree. I watched episodes 2, 3 and 4 yesterday and I liked them.

I think if there's a season 2 they'll try to get a villain or someone who could play that role. Someone needs to turn that house upside-down because everyone is playing nice.

Its giving all stars 1 with everyone cheering for each other but like all stars 1 I can see towards the end people taking it more personally

Flop-py gets back in the game or what? When she broke both ankles?

I think during the elimination but she didn't know until medics checks her lol

PinkRose#46

The last episode was actually really good to me! No crazy drunk drama but Jujuy starting the whole politics drama by asking for Sol her being entitled (they would be a cute same sex rivals team), Claudia polidicking, the love triangle being sent into elimination against each other & the male side basically being divided into two side of 3 going against each other.

Give us the link boo

TheKonquerer#50

The Challenge Naija would do insanely well, but the challenge wouldn't dare let their most successful, and littest product be where the most black people would be. 

PinkRose#51

Give us the link boo

Someone posted the telegram link on this thread they post the episode the afternoon of the day after it airs.

gabbydawn#52

Kayla99#53

Queen Virginia competing better than some challenge regulars 

RobbKingo#54

What I like is that nobody is a wallpaper, I thought maybe Virgie, but she's had some camera time last few episodes.

If you were to compare this to a us challenge season which would it be? Asking for those who can't watch lol

I would say similar to all stars 1 with the older competitors but they did had two hookups and polidicking. The past 4 episodes have been good because there has been a lot of focus on the alliances of the guys and politics aspect of the game. Jujuy and Eva made the past two deliberation messy imo.

Alexandra#61

This ends this week? How many episode this is going to have? We are on episode 9
