Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Battle Of The Eras- Tony Raines

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.

Watch people are going to come back with some bs reasoning like "it's because Nelson was asking for sympathy and Tony isn't". it's cause of Nelson's color and Tony's lack thereof...

the outrage when it was nelson who lost his leg vs tony who this is his second time and he actually injured ppl that ive seen is very telling of the challenge fanbase...

Tony is white, but he is the coloured variety of his species.

So he hasnt changed at all. You'd think when one of your daughters Mom has just been arrested for drugs (hasn't she???) He would keep his shit together more than ever if he was semi decent. Poor kid

Edit: I didn't realise Madison's Mom has custody of Harper, I assumed he would have. Isnt that odd???

No one changes

False.

Both are losers and should be criticized.  Nelson received money from a GoFundMe.

I like Nelson infinitely more than Tony.  Tony is one of 3 least favorite people of all time to be on the show.  That said...Nelson was crying on social media and accepting money when he knew he was driving drunk.  The money is the deal breaker. There's zero excuse. None. 

ppl still using a gofundme that nelson didnt make and refunded whoever asked for that money back, yall gotta look for a new excuse manb

Nelson allowed it to stay up when he knew he was drunk and only refunded money when people complained.

Nelson would've been back on this show already if he wasn't permanently disabled. This show has only baseline morals on who and who they won't cast.

Lady Says#162

Has there been any word of the people he injured? Is he out yet?

Are people really trying to defend or excuse him? Hime and Nelson are both ***** for driving drunk, but Nelson luckily never hurt anyone else. And also isn't in the same position Tony is. You get into a fight and rage drive off, as a father when one of your kids has the other parent spiralling aswell. Man the **** up Tony!

they blacklisted Mattie after the got her third so idk. I think it just depends on how much they're liked by production or not if they'd wanna make it a cute PSA segment or something.

null#164

wait did Mattie get her 2nd or 3rd DUI before Total Madness filming? I don't know. People in Louisiana drink and drive for the sport of it, they don't gaf.
