Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Champs vs. Pros - Settling the Scores

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.

When they asked who wante to be captain he legit stepped down off the bleachers or whatever all casual & then to Wes when he asked him to be his coach "Yeah...

Wes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that hurt John to his core that Wes beat him in the first & so far only elimination they've had against each other lmaooooooo

The Kang wanting John to go home & to get his biggest competition in Shawne out of the game so he purposely sabotaged them >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Will forever advocate for the Pros getting Challenge spots if they want them. They will DEFINITELY make the show more competitive & provide a necessary change from the "John & friends" bullshit b/c the regulars who fall in line behind him will have no choice but to improve their game. They've been bringing drama too which is icing on the cake.

Louise first figures out how to send lolo in without blood on her hands, and now she figured out how to beat Shawne. Brains beauty and brawn, she got it all!

Eventhough it was just Snapper, it got intense and dramatic. Solid episode.

Exactly!  I feel like people considered it anticlimactic just because it was Snapper, but when you factor the two people involved, it going to a 3rd point, the way Wes had to lunge just ducking under Bananas swinging, and the impact it will have on the game it was intense like you said.

Challengefan22#219

Can one of you please get a good screenshot of Bananas epic sad/ pissed off look at the end. I need a new avi and his face in defeat is priceless.

the.trillest#220

-Lolo I dont like her attitude at all. Tired of her already

-Camila and her crying all the time about "fair" ******* over it. The show is so much better when they dont show her speaking

-Wes helping CT <3 I really like that they became friends and stayed friends

-Bananas talking shit to Punk for no reason. why does it bother him so much that Punk wasn't being a sore loser. Like bruh you have to start fights with people just so you can continue to get camera time and stay on this show, that you need because you've done nothing else outside of this show with your life, and outside the show no one knows who you are. Bye *****.

-When Wes called Jordan a lowkey fan of Johnny, ive always thought that. He was speaking facts.

-Louise is a smart lady, I would love to see her in a challenge house

-So glad Johnny went home. He looked like a sour puss. Now if we can get Camila out next episode so I dont have to see or hear her anymore that would be great Smile

Priink#221

Yeah, that CT and Wes interaction >>>

It's always nice to see former rivals become friends.

Played yourself#222

I thought somebody said after the altercation with Punk, Johnny fell and bust his mouth or some shit. I was looking forward to that instant karma. 

Johnny out here acting like Joe Budden lol

I think it works better as a diversion, kind of like Celebrity Jeopardy or something of that sort. I think what makes this spinoff good is its novelty -- not sure I'd want to see the Pros be regulars, at least the same Pros. I don't think many would do it anyway.

I do think this can be an occasional thing where you get different sets of pros come to the show and play against different sets of champs, but I just don't want to completely kill the novelty of what has made this show awesome so far.

LucciVee#224

Louise and Wes are absolutely TV gold. They're making the show so far. Smile

Challengefan22#225

That conversation between CT, Camila, and Ashley had me dying.

Challengefan22#226

More specials to come with the next episodes of this special season.

Yes! I LOVE CT. He's just become so cool and nonchalant.

If it's as trashy as the episode of yesterday, no thanks

FreeAgent11#229

Camila is such a punk *** for not voting Johnny. After all the times Johnny screwed her over in the past, you would think she would be done being under his coattails... She ****** me off more and more every episode. I hope Amanda smacks her up every season lol

mariochristopher__#230

Camila and Bananas are finally getting their *** handed to them recently>>>>>>>>>>> Smile

auldx#231

i love the pros. they add so much.

i would say that i wish they got $$ for winning elim (incase sabotage like if darrell wannted johnny out) and a team bank account (so they cant sabotage a captain to put him in intentionally or if they know if they win hes/shesgonna throw you in)

Gainz#232

Louise and Wes!

WesandCT#233
Louise and Wes!

"Ohhhhh like the cobra!"  The main thing I remember after that elimination.

Debut Album#234

Finally got a chance to watch this.

Lolo just needs to chill at this point.

LOL @ Backpack talking to CM Punk like he ain't done shit. Been in the WWE for a few years and had a good run, And even though he lost his UFC fight he still made more money than Backpack will ever see in his life. Punk is a made man and is set. And you know what? He'll always be more relevant than Backpack ever will be. Once the challenges end that's the end of ANYONE giving a **** about him. Can't say the same for punk.

Speaking of Backpack Kudos to Wes spanking that ***. Got his *** out early so I and the rest of the audience don't have to put up with his shit. Wes is King <3.

fd9613#235

I kinda wanted Punk to punch Bananas...at least Tina could rest easy knowing she didn't have the weakest punch in challenge history then.

mariochristopher__#236

Even more icing on the cake that Punk won his elimination while Bananas lost his>>>>>>>>> Cray 2

gr4pefruits#237

Out of the pros that are still there, I like: Lindsey, CM and Louise. 

Lolo is cool. She gives me early Ev and Cooke vibes. Super volatile, but also a great competitor. I kiiiiiind of like Gus but I'm not completely sold on him. Tia, Kameron and Louie seem cool, but they've barely had any screen time. 

Out of the champs that are still there, I like: Darrell and Wes. 

They're really scraping the bottom of the barrel with the female champs. Cara's okay, I guess, but Camilla and the Ashley's have no place being there. Yes, they've technically won, and they're technically "champs" in the regard, but I mean ... it would have been nicer to see competitors like Laurel or Emily.  Ashley Kelsey, in particular, brings nothing to the show. They may as well have casted Landon's partner on FM2 whose name I can't remember. 

anonfffdfdsfsfdssd#238

I admit it. I had ZERO interest in watching this. Then I had some free time so....

I really enjoyed both episodes so far. Looking forward to the next one Smile
