Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Battle of The Exes 2- Ryan Knight and Je

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.

REMINDER - THIS IS NOT A SPOILER THREAD. There should be no talk on who had dorm matches, alliances, how far they got in the game, etc...

The Challenge: Battle of The Exes 2- Ryan Knight and Jemmye Carroll

Rowdy Challenge vets Knight and Jemmye are better known for their party-hard antics than their athletic acumen. However, on this season on Battle of the Exes II, these unpredictable underdogs will have to find a way to work together if they hope to stay in the game. Jemmye is determined to take home a win, but stresses, “I have no game plan for working with Knight. We can't even get along as friends. I don't know what to expect from us as partners.” Knight seems more interested in pushing Jemmye’s buttons than winning the prize money, “I know how to get under her skin very well. Sometimes I go a little too far with it, but that's who I am at times, a habitual line crosser.” Will this dysfunctional duo be able to overcome their mutual contempt and make it to the Finals? Or will their sharp-tongued bickering send them spiraling into their old pitfalls?

Knight is rocking a Mullet. Awesome.

It's gonna be a little Bittersweet to see these two together one last time.

RIP Knight.
Out of respect for him I'm holding back greatly in this. They are my least favorite team.

It'll be fun to see them together one last time. Odd to think Knight will never be on one again....

Going to be so hard watching them, their relationship was one of my favorites. 

CMJ#11

RIP Knight. I just want them to last a few episodes just for pure comedy. I'll give them 5-6 episodes

My favorite RW couple. #OneLastTime.

I think Knight was trying to be like Zach with the hair. Big brother, little brother kind of thing.

Yeah lol. Knight's also had his hair like that long before when him and Jemmye were dating.

They could do better of Knight was more competitive. He's played plenty sports, but he hasn't proven to be competitive unless he's in an elimination.

......not I.

Debut Album#21

I don't blame her. Probably too many memories and it would be too painful to keep doing them. She had a good run. I wish her all the best.

Fresh Meat#22

Honestly it's sad that is the reason why she's done but I probably won't miss her. Good luck to Jemmye in whatever life has to offer.

Smh dude, I wish her the best would have been enough!

Knight was impossible to root for.  Jemmye never offered much. I hope they at least created some fun drama on their last challenge.

Imjustsayin#25

I like Knight. I will root for him, I just wish he wasnt with Jemmye. I cant not stand that girl....her pressence on these shows ****** me off. She is just...ugh!

Team interview:

Imjustsayin#27

LOL! Classic Knight. That kid was unapologetically inappropriate all the time. And I loved that about him. Looking forward to some good laughs this season. R.I.P Kinght

Is it just me or does Jemmye look a little thick? 

Team dynamic is going to be pure comedy....lol 

WESANDNANYFAN#28

Forever my favorite Real World Couple. I can't wait to see them one last time together.

RIP Knight. He will be missed.

anon4981298798#29

I love them so much. <3

Coralfan#30

Knight being a ******. Of course. LOL. Sad to hear Jemmeye s quitting but, hey, they have to move on at some point. WHo knows, she could always change her mind. Trishelle did.

That was pretty funny!! I tell ya, I always feel guilty laughing at what Knight says but I always laugh anyway! I read in a recent Jonathan Murray interview that Knight learns as this challenge goes on that he doesn't always have to say inappropriate things, that people will love him no matter what....something along those lines, lol. I guess he would sometimes say stuff like that just for TV or because that is what he thought people expected of him but perhaps some of the other cast members make him see that he's good enough without having to resort to all of that....so that should be nice to see. I do have to say though, part of Knight's charm for me was his sense of humor, even if he did go too far with it sometimes. I think it's funny how Jemmye tells Knight not to be gross with his comment, meanwhile she is cursing like a truck driver, LOL!!
