Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines- Thomas and Ste

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.

Starting to really like Stephen especially for what he said about Thomas how he shouldn't be messing around with another dudes girl like that. Thomas *****ed his whole season about hailey cheating on ...

Starting to really like Stephen especially for what he said about Thomas how he shouldn't be messing around with another dudes girl like that. Thomas *****ed his whole season about hailey cheating on him and how it's so wrong. Yet he's cool with doing it to another dudes girl.

Stephen has a narrower face and they're Both good looking but Thomas by a bit more 

Coralfan#39

This maybe the geek side of me, but everytime I look at Thomas I see doctor strange from marvel comics.

Not only him but Jamie, Mitch, and Anthony too.

timster3#41

Stephen is awkward as hell. The way he has his head pointed towards the sky while having his eyes at the camera is hilarious.

bluehatchet2#42

Yeah I don't think they look good either. They have the builds of a boy in high school. Body deff not on fleek.

v123#43

Just cause they aren't steroids juice monkeys doesn't mean they look like little boys lol . Thomas is built like most in shape men back in the 50s before men started getting self conscious about their bodies and obsessed with bodybuilding like little girls

plus he has face. U don't need a body when You have face like thomas

I am the only one that likes them

Nope, they're actually one of my favorite pairs, though that's not saying much since I'm not feeling this cast that much. I could see why people find then boring, but they're both pretty likeable and don't get into petty drama like others. Plus they're against Bananas, so that's enough for me to like them.

I like them. They seem like cool people and as been said not into petty drama so to some they can be boring but I think they're a solid presence on the show.

And as been said they're against Backpack so that's a definite plus for me.

I liked Thomas but now I'm starting to see him as a cocky person.  Stephen is just eh.

bluehatchet2#51

Thomas/Stephen are my least favorite pair. They're SUPER cocky, Thomas irked my life on Ex-Plosion, and Stephen annoyed the hell out of me with his confessionals on the whole Camila thing.

Nostalgic#52

Stephen needs to go by himself. He doesn't even say or do much. He's like just there. His *** should've went against Cohutta

WittyWrath#53

I wonder did Hailey taking Thomas's virginity scare him from dating girls like her. I mean he had a crush on Arielle, dated Jamie, and had a fling with Cara Maria who all are far from what I would expect a rich tennis player to like.

Bananas#54

I like stephen but I hate thomas his ***** boy man child *** is annoying

all three of those girls look better than Hailey and I'm a Hailey fan.

I agree.

PinkRose#57

His current gf , looks like a Hailey type. She doesnt look to out there, she looks calm.

I still don't understand how Stephen predicted exactly what Thomas did in his casting interview. He said, I'll back him up unless he does something stupid like ***** a girl on the show who has a BF who is also on the show. The only way he could have predicted it if Thomas said to him that he wants to hook up with CM. But it's still really weird that's the scenario he mentioned.

although i don't think they went "all the way"- i really believe it was just kissing....wow that's actually a really good point. like that's a pretty "out there" scenario and what I mean by "out there" is non predictable because how many girls even have bf's that could even possibly come on this show.

i see 3 possibilites- 1. tom was interested in cara before hand, knew she had a bf didn't care though and went into the house looking to go after her
2. it's scripted (at least the drama, not the actually competition) and cara, tom, and abe, knew what was gonna go down before hand and are getting paid bank for all of this (although i kinda doubt this because everyone reactions seem genuine)
3. lastly 3- it was some unreal completely lucky guess

Challenge 17#60

Aren't interviews done after the show?

it was on "meet the bloodlines" it looked like a ichat interview they do with potential cast members before they pick who they want on the final cast. he was in his bedroom (I'm assuming) answering questions
