Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Champs vs. Stars - It's the Final Countd

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.

Says who? Since he's supposedly claiming his 7th, The Kang is sitting at 5.

Neither should count since theyre not official seasons.

At first I wanted to count Darrell's win but then given how ridiculously easy this last win was for the Champs team, I'm fine with not counting either of the spinoffs. Although I do count the eliminations.

We all know why you wan't to count the elimination wins is because  Weston beat Bananas in the most pathetic elimination......And we also Know the reason why you don't wan't to count the win is because the Goat won.lol.......I don't count anything

This season was just horrendous.  Way worse that The Island, but still miles waaaay better that Rivals 3. 

InterFan#41

How in the **** is that pressed little **** going to act entitled after his ***** *** did nothing all season? Its too bad Michelle didnt just turn around and split his repulsive face in 2. I feel sorry for all wild n out castmembers/viewers that they have to deal with that pathetic ******* frog. This season should be cancelled even though its over.

brett#42

I cant at johnny counting this 7th win

its his first win on the spinoff....

totally seperate games, 

WESANDNANYFAN#43

I had to force myself to finish this shit

JohnPhoenix#44

I liked the season. The only thing I'm not a fan of is the ridiculous cut they tend to make towards the end, and the cut being a purge rather than an elimination. Also it kinda feels rush so not a fan of that either. But other than that these spinoffs are fine imo.

TwoStrikes#45

Lol at Zach saying “I’m coming back sooner than people think” meanwhile Vendettas already started so it’s not a shocker 

colorbars#46

I don't understand how they or the show can count these as real wins towards players' records when they are not counted as real seasons in the numbers. Champs vs Pro took place between 29/30 and Champs vs Stars between 30/31, and obviously neither are factored into the official season count, so the wins  shouldn't either. 

Not to mention the fact that they weren't competing against fellow Challenge cast members and so they didn't really beat them, but the people they were against were a lot easier to beat and in competitions that were easier to do than normal ones.

They're challenge seasons. They are apart of the franchise. Therefore they count. Simple as that.

they are TOTALLY seperate games.... far less people, far less time, far less competitions/eliminations its not a main challenge, plus the "champs" were facing stars which is also unfair and unbiased, of course they would win.

the prize is for charity, its a fricking spinoff, for someone to use a charity win for part of their own leverage is outright disgusting

It doesn't matter in the slightest. The spinoffs are called THE CHALLENGE just like the regular seasons are. This is not a completly different show. If it was then it wouldn't be called the challenge and it wouldn't have people from the challenge on it. Period. Everything else is irrelevant. 

If you don't want to count them that's fine, you do you(and that goes for anyone else as well)but those are wins and they shouldn't be ignored.

No, they are not challenge seasons. They are seasons of the spinoff and not the actual show.

Yes they are. Just not full ones. 

berklonius#58

I tend to side with them not counting, at least not fully. They're worth a half-win at best. I will say that Darrell and Cara beating pros in the first spinoff in a pretty challenging final was way more impressive than CT, Bananas and Emily laying waste to the Stars trio in a much easier final.

If there is a third one, I hope it's much closer to Champs vs. Pros. This season peaked at the CT/TO fight and immediately lost all momentum once TO bounced. The Champs need to be challenged and made uncomfortable for this format to work.

darrell beat actual pro athletes in an actual decent final. Bananas beat some reality tv stars lmaoo
