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.

I agree. I dont think she will be that upset much longer.

Am I the only one who feels horrible for Mackenzie(the current gf) every time Jemmye posts things like this with screen shots of how Ryan was constantly texting and calling her? I totally understand their past and friendship but I just feel like it's rubbing salt in the poor girls wounds.

Idk thats a hard situation just because Jemmye/Knight's relationship was so public that maybe Mackenzie is forgotten about but Jemmye/Mackenzie were cool and she understood their relationship. I know they were there for each other on his funeral.

Yes, but like JEK said she had to be aware. When you date someone who had a serious relationship being filmed 24/7 you obviously need to understand that people aren't going to care as much about you who nobody knows about via TV. That being said, Makenzie and Jemmye had a lot of problems, they no longer follow each other on twitter and have had beef over twitter. Their is jealous over who Knight cared about more etc. Jemmye said that Knights sister was the first person she called over anyone else including family. For makenzie to hear that would obviously be hard. Jemmye confusing she loved Knight and knew that one day they would have ended up together is a horrible thing for Jemmye to do. After the article came out where Jemmye spoke McKenize went on twitter and started talking about how she didn't like things Jemmye was saying and that Knight would tell her everyday that She (Makenzie) was his soul mate. For Jemmye to be rubbing things in makenzies face when she is so well followed and Jemmye & Knights relationship is so public isn't the right thing for her to do. I do also see how it is hard for Jemmye especially since she feels its her fault and since he did pass away really mad at her considering his last tweet was directed at her saying you used to mean a lot to me.

i believe they are deleted. Now I had screenshots till my phone black screened and I lost everything. If you really want you can search back in their twitters to see if it is still there but makenzie tweets like 100 times a day

I remember Jemmye and Knight were going back and forth about the riots and shooting of Michael Brown in Baltimore. Mackenize said something standing up for what Knight was saying to Jemmye and she made the remark back to her about Knight is the defintion of inapppropriate etc. You could tell they were getting annoyed with eachother. 

I'm sure Mackenzie knew going in to the relationship that people would always compare and/or bring up his past relationship...but I just feel like Jemmye is going a little far in her blogs as to say she and Knight would have ended up back together. From what *I* saw Knight was pretty nuts over Mackenzie. Yeah, she was super young so I'm sure they wouldn't have ended up married but who knows. Like someone said above Mackenzie has also made remarks that Knight would be laughing about Jemmye saying these things as he told her the exact opposite.

Don't get me wrong. I love Jemmye. Just coming from a similar situation I just feel for the girl.

I have to say this whole issue with the beef between Jemmye and Makenzie is silly. Arguing who is the soulmate is ridiculous. At the end of the day Knight loved Jemmye but he was in love with Makenzie. One does not take away from the other.

Jem saying she felt like their story was not done is not a barb at Makenzie. Jem is sharing her feelings and no one could ever say she is wrong to have those feelings. They are hers, so who is anyone else to judge. 

Makenzie was Ryan's girlfriend. She had his heart. Just because he still had love for Jemmye does not take anything away from her. Makenzie loved Ryan and Ryan loved her back. For her, THAT is all that should matter at the end of the day. 

So don't feel bad for Jemmye because of something Makenzie says or vice versa. Feel bad for Jem because she lost Ryan and because as she shared he was angry with her when he passed and she is struggling with feeling like she let him down when he needed her. 

Feel bad for Makenzie because she lost her boyfriend and someone she loved very much. Her story with Ryan was also unfinished. Feel bad for that.
