Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Champs vs. Stars - Flag Poles and False

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.

LOL--so I just flipped this on for the first time all season and I see Aneesa is in a cage match with a UFC fighter. even Emily probably wouldn't win this...

LOL--so I just flipped this on for the first time all season and I see Aneesa is in a cage match with a UFC fighter...even Emily probably wouldn't win this.  Aneesa has a lot of losses--some respectful, some questionable--but this isn't one she even has a chance to win

I was more referring to her not picking that other girl that I don’t even knows name not Michelle. She stated she would be embarrassed of losing to her. You could’ve made this shit easy for you and thought it through but you didn’t. 

They weren't going to let her choose Ariane. Johnny was gonna pitch a fit.

If Aneesa knew what the elimination was her pick would have been different.  Personally, I would have called out Michelle or Justina if I was Aneesa.  I wouldn't want anything to do with Kim and I don't believe in calling out the weakest.  Why make life easier for the other team?

Aneesa put up a good fight if we're being fair

I think that Justina has low key been the best performing girl of the stars this season.

YESSS and Zach.

Justina would've been the best girl choice for Aneesea IMO. Not as strong as Kim/Michelle but better than Ariane.

You can fix something by making it worse?

Why does every time Cara Maria Look-Alike talks she sounds like that Cash Me Ousside chick?

Aneesa was getting michelle together idc idc idc

AlwaysAMess#45

It's obvious at this point that the "theme" for each daily challenge also has to do with elimination, so why the hell did Aneesa pick the UFC fighter when the elimination was obviously gonna involve strength???

zzzzzz this is still airing? #ImWithSpectrum

i actually saw a spectrum ad while watching it on the mtv app today

To be fair, the team was heavily involved in the decision. They didn't want her to pick Ariane and they wanted her to pick either Michelle or Justina for the hilarity since they weren't among the original choices. I agree that Aneesa should have chosen Justina (especially since she was better at the challenges than even Kim) but I don't think the Champs would have let her face Ariane. Even then what Kim and Ariane might not have in bulk, they could make up for in the climb. Not only was that a great elimination type for Michelle, but I don't think that was a great elimination for Aneesa regardless of who she was up against.

I’m all about Michele and Justina tbh. Michele knowing about purges >>>>

Don't do Justina like that. You don't ever see her rocking ratty *** faded hair like Kailah's mentor does.

I'm shocked, I stopped watching two weeks ago but I jus assumed she'd be the weak link

Or are they doing eliminations for the Stars? Seems too convient for Michelle and Riff Raff to get eliminations based on their personalities and proffession. I could even argue Matt's.

I don't understand what you are saying here...at least outside of Michelle. I can't see how Riff Raff and Matt's eliminations were based off of their personality or profession. Other than Riff Raff having a somewhat luck based elimination as opposed to literally anything else that he'd probably suck at. They were set off of whatever word they said the challenge was (ie "strength" "focus" "precision") etc. 

If Riff Raff faced Bananas in a twinkie eating competition, then talk to me.

She's legit been the best performing female on the stars team, and possibly anyone outside of Emily. Granted there aren't too many "individualized" challenges, but the ones where you can see how well each person has done have significantly favored her.

Riff's was just straight goofy. And Matt's was "millenial". I also don't see the challenge as strength more than speed.

She’s the best girl this season. I don’t understand why everybody is acting like Kim is this mvp of that team. Just because she’s a professional athlete doesn’t mean shit here. Justina has outperformed her every single time and is really impressive.
