Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Final Reckoning - Sylvia Elsrode

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.

The Challenge: Final Reckoning - Sylvia Elsrode

Curious, and I don't mind Sylvia so this isn't me hating on her...but why wasn't she sent home for the headbutt? People have been sent home for less. 

Marie said in one of her recaps that she thinks Sylvia wasn't sent home because it was more of a head push and because Marie shoved Ashley off something the night of the big fight so production probably didn't want to show they play favorites by sending Sylvia home.

The casuals are pressed that she said it but if was Johnny, CT, or Cara they'd be praising them like gods.

Thanks for the answers! I just listened to Marie talk about in on Derrick's podcast too.  She was scared she might be sent home because producer's said they couldn't tell what exactly happened so she just dropped it.  

Dreamdoll#97

The real champ of this season

WESANDNANYFAN#98

Her and Joss deserved the win. However, I didn't like her blaming Paulie and Natalie. Cara spoke FACTS about that on the episode that it was THEIR choice to come down.

Yeah I agree. I Love Hunter and Ashley but I would've rather seen Sylvia and Joss win because those two would;ve shared.

But CM was right though. Those two shouldn't have trusted Paulie/Natalie given that it was a final and people were gonna do and say anything to get themselves a leg up.

DanishBoy#102

The final showed that Sylvia (and Amanda) need to stop playing the game with their emotions and trusting Ashley. They got ****** several times by Ashley in this game.

I kinda feel like Ashley and Shane have both domination on Amanda and Sylvia and used them however they want to. I bet when Shane and Ashley are by themselves, they talking shit about both of these girls. I hope I'm wrong.

Its possible but I think out of the two, Shane is closer to Amanda than he is with Ashley.

Agreed Shane is closer to Amanda then Ashley then Kam then Sylvia I feel.

I feel for Sylvia, but I have always felt she is the odd man out on the LLs. That's why I am happy she has the dolphins as well.

He's pretty close with Sylvia too tho....closer than he is to Kam anyway IMO but he's closer to Kam than the other two Dolphins.

I don't want to believe!!!! I just feel like that group is better for her game.

HonestTea101#112

I have hope she will be a champion one day. Her dominance in eliminations is promising if she ever wants to make another final. 

Jenna4Eva#113

She is underrated.

SourSavage#114

Production needs to bring on Violetta. 

Debut Album#115

She's a decent addition to the show but I do think she could be a bit more conisistent in terms of entertainment. It's like she'll have a couple moments and then will do nothing else for the rest of the season. 

Formation123#116

It’s the biggest mystery why casuals have such strong hate towards her... 

dylan76#117

Because they consistently have trash opinions & minimal brain power.

Guilty by association with the lavender ladies and not being Team Cara and Bananas. In other words, they're trash

SourSavage#119

Queen or winning a challenge on her second try ( I REFUSE to count Vendettas ) Would’ve loved to see her on War of the Worlds over Ashley because she’s better and would’ve had Amanda’s back. Period. 

nevidcm#120

I love my Final Reckoning winner ❤️

Queen at headbutting Marie and denying it right after.
