Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Final Reckoning - Veronica Portillo

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.

I'll still take V over a lot of these people. We don't need drama from everyone and she still hasn't lost an elimination in her return...

Can’t compare either of them to Veronica. She’s barely trying. She does suck. She didn’t suck back in the day, but she does now.

V sucks lol 

PinkRose#187

Comparing V to Kam or Cara lol Maybe 20 years ago, but now she sucks. She is on Jemmye level now days.

kvm1977#188

V definitely isn't as good as Cara or Kam and I agree there's a lack.of effort but the point was she still hasn't been eliminated without a twist since her return. I'd still take her over many of these people including Jenna Jemmye and Marie. Now if you're giving me an option of real people that will get vs V then leave V at home but that's not what we're getting. And the petty drama is tiresome which is why I like Sylvia despite the fact she's primarily in the background. Give me another old school girl like Aneesa Kendal Coral etc and then forgot V but any RR representation is good in my book

Can we stop acting like this happened because she was dominant or performed really well for that to happen. She performed decent on Dirty 30 and got lucky to make it as far as she did, Vendettas she got hurt, Final Reckoning she was the sole reason her team went home.

Always & forever a LEGEND.

HonestTea101#192

What we're not gonna do is discredit Veronica's immaculate game on Dirty 30. Legend tier shit. She proved why SHE is forever the queen.

No one said she was dominating and without the purge this year she still doesn't get sent in at that stage of the game with CT.  Veronica is the shortest girl there so it makes sense she would have the most problem with that mission.  CT needed to literally push it toward her and help her.  V had no chance to jump and hang on.  She's honestly a subpar competitor at this stage but it is a fact she hasn't been eliminated under normal circumstances.  She also put up a hall of a fight against Aneesa which shocked me

Lol you know all it takes is for people to be too vocal on social media. None of this was being said about V before the Dirty 30 Aneesa fiasco & Vendettas......

Years of accomplishments will be erased b/c of tweets people dont like or agree with; then the emotions come out with people saying stuff like "well thats why she's not that good anyway, I've never liked her, etc." and the rest run with it. 

Shame but that's society in 2018.

Challenge 17#197

Veronica did very well on dirty 30 competing against people years younger than her. She won an elimination, won a partner mission, she was key for winning the past seasons mission, she won it for the green team by holding up britini. She's not this terrible competitor because she did bad twice.

rwportland2#198

CT needed a storyline this season and V was the only reason he was relevant this time. 

Debut Album#199

V Did decent on Dirty 30 But I honestly forget she was one Vendettas and she was pretty much useless on Final Reckoning. Don't get me wrong. Veronica is absolutley a legend and one of the best women this show has produced BUT she really hasn't done a whole lot when it comes to The Challenge in 2018. She's really just not needed now tbh.

That's fair...I love the comeback even if it was only a few moments...she's not needed but that can be said for a lot of people

I agree. Nothing will take away from what she's done for the show and her on Dirty 30 was a nice surprise but I think her comeback tour should be over if she's not really bringing anything to the show. 

VCR14#202

Does anyone know if she has any interest in doing another at this point?

Veronica needs to snatch Miz’s job as after show host

Preach! This 100%. Basically her and Marie made this season for me....hoping Marie can make it to the end with Cara Maria.

Life got crazy so I caught up a few days ago...so freaking pissed with this season.  I hate how that damn dobule cross works.  So stupid.  I think sending teams, love them or hate them (Lord knows there is one of these teams I turly hate) but Jenna & Jemmye, Chuck and Britini, Veronica & CT, Angela & Faith, and Tori & Derrick should not be home.  The person who loses the elimination should be sent home not back to redemption.  That way it's a fight to get out with the risk of losing it all.  Not just sitting there then sent straight home.  What a waste of so many people.  They could easily of done two double crosses at once if they were scared of too many people in redmption, but the fact the V once again didn't get sent home by elimination, just by a daily Challenge she happened not to do well on is b.s.  

She'll always be Queen of this Challegne.  <3 hope we see her back and with numbers on her side.  I'm happy CT is gone, but damn she was done wrong this season.

excatly, and at least V is real and over acting like half of these new people like Angela, Paulie, etc.....  I'd watch Veronica drink wine and give side eye for an hour and be happily entertained.

Sad the Queen was robbed this season and now I'm being robbed of seeing her weekly :( 

Psy4potato#208

Ugh I miss her. The Queen must return and bring her friends with her this time <3
