Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Final Reckoning - Scandal

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.

Before elimination started they showed what they "expect" you to build so they could reach blue line. During the elimination, only Joss and Sylvia were close at doing that but it collapsed, so they started getting hypothermia. And you could see that one that won the elimination was one storey lower and didn't reach blue line.

imagine theres a twist that now its a team challenge and its team redemption vs team house LOL

Ok, this elimination was hard, and it was cold, but gender wasn't the factor, which is why I liked it. The one where Cara/Marie had to go against Shane/Nelson was unfair to all-female team and pissed me off the most. Paulie/Nat going against Brad/Kyle was hard too, though not impossible, which we saw. I'm still against the idea of having ff, mm, and mf teams competing against each other. I hope this is the last time they're doing this stupid format, cause all-female teams are doomed from the start, so I don't see the point...

Good for Sylvia, she has a lot of heart when it comes to eliminations, but I still dislike her. lol Joss is so funny when he's talking to John, like a little boy, then all brave in confessionals. Get out of here! John, on the other hand, really lost his mojo when it comes to eliminations. He gets too nervous, you can tell it's costing him.

John and Nat really have a strange dynamic. But you do you, Nat! Paulie and Nat are small and can be taken out in anything that favors size, but they're very athletic. A great team... Love that Cara is giving Marie some credit, but this time LL did the work, I have to give it to them. But go queens! lol And I'll admit, Ashley is amusing. I don't like her as a person, but she's entartaining, and though she's not the best competitor physically, she makes it up with good connections and a smart play.

That elimination was edited poorly but it seemed pretty fun. A little frustrating to watch with the tower falling down every 2 seconds though. Sylvia is boring af but she's great at eliminations and working under the pressure. Joss was useless in that. Bananas/Tony both pathetic.

Natalie a fake ***** as always. 

Cara outperforming Nelson after he was talking that shit makes me LOL. Cara was also the only girl to go to the other side. Proud of my ***** Smile

Dreamdoll#160

Oh wow. So Bananas was telling the truth for once. Natalie was in bed with Nelson (lmao he looked mighty guilty when she asked) and also with Hunter at the bus. Well gamer, I see where you got that rumor came from.

They dead *** got this from a Survivor challenge.

This show has been copying Survivor for years.

Jbro67#162
Bananas freaking out bc something isn’t going his way? It’s what he deserves

So are Joss and Sylvia. Biased much?

Debut Album#163

Just watched this episode.

MY KINGS PAULIE AND HUNTER DID THAT! I gotta say I'm glad redemption was in play this season because we would've never gotten this comeback Paulie/Natalie are on. 

I'm so sad my King Nelson is out. Getting taken out in Purges seems to be a thing with him. Wierd.

Not too crazy about Joss anymore but Let me stan him a little bit here because HE AND SYLVIA DID THAT! THEY GOT RID OF BACKPACK! but they also got rid of King Tony though...But oh well. Now all I need is ANY of the teams in redemption to finish the job. 

Debut Album#164

Also that elimination was frustrating as **** to watch. I like that they did it though. Kinda takes me back to the eliminations of yesteryear. They should do more of these IMO.

Facts, all Joss had was good looks and competitiveness and he's pretty lackluster in the competitive side. But with season 33 bringing in some snacks, I can easily forget about Joss.

”lackluster in the competititive side” as he went hours wrestling with Derrick in one of the best male eliminations since CT/bananas

One shining moment doesn't offset the middle of the pack performance throughout his two seasons.

Most of Vendettas challenges were stupid cause they were two teams the troika made. He and Sylvia have been doing well for a M/F team. They were 2nd on Off the Rails, did good in rugby, 2nd in Caged in (edited to be 4th for some reason), survived all the purges. Idk.. I mean two elimination wins, surviving all purges, and getting close to winning dailies makes them a close to top team imo.

Idc. he's still lackluster. Nothing stands out besides his first challenge on Vendettas and his battle with Derrick. He doesn't even flop in challenges in an entertaining manner. He's just a hot piece of meat lol.

derp1987#170

These missions havent really been the best imo to showcase much.  theyve all been pretty weird looking back.  usually both people have to be perfect or they lose.

derp1987#171

also i really thought id like this episode because of the elimination but then it was all about bananas and natalie and the mission used for the purge was crazy. bleh.
