Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Rivals 3- Thomas Buell and Simone Kelly

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.

Thomas was boring on Exes 2 and Bloodlines imo. I personally don't like him but I'm glad that it looks like he brought the drama this season...

Thomas always bring something, people act like he has been non existent on the shows he has been on. I guess the only time he didnt was on exes 2 but he was there for only a week and production edit out his fight with simone because it was petty.

Well I mean most of the drama on bloodlines was petty yet they had no problem showing that.But I don't think anyone thinks Thomas is non-existant. He's just not an interesting character on these shows.

The 3 episodes was in honor of Diem that p***ed after the show, showing a petty fight over Simone overreacting over Thomas telling her to mind her own business wasnt adequate due to that scenario.There was a lot of pettieness  that wasnt also cut off for that reason that didnt even made the trailer, especially when it came to the Knight/Jemmye team since they had tons of drama that wasnt show either in respect of knight's p***ing away.

What? No they weren't. Those were just regular *** episodes. I find it hard to believe that they would honor 3 damn episodes to Diem given they did a special in her honor.

The right word was to pay tribute to diem/Knight not honor. A lot of the petty drama didnt make the cut including the pointless fight of Simone/Thomas over that reason. It was heavily focus on the game.

They sold and promote Battle of the exes 2 as paying tribute to Diem and Knight

So bascially we got a season that focused mainly on the game due to those two dying? That's sad honestly.

That's very telling of MTV/BMP when you think about it. I mean I like drama but shit...I'll take game drama over a petty *** fight that's over in 2 seconds anyday.

AshtonMartin#68

BMP should have focused more on Vince & Aneesa throwing challenges on Bloodlines instead of Cory having to reiterate he is "over Aneesa" every episode

Shhhh they have to build up the Exes III storyline.

I'm convinced Cory said maybe a dozen things on that season...and just repeated them over and over. Over Aneesa. Let's Gooooo. Get this money. Turn Up. We Out. ________ my cousin. Etc. 

AshtonMartin#71

Cory & Cheyenne for Exes 3 (He hooked up with Cheyenne right lol)

Cory & Cheyenne for Exes 3 (He hooked up with Cheyenne right lol)

I think they'll have Aneesa before Chey. Aneesa is pretty much guaranteed to bring something every season & their hookup was a big thing during the season.

Similar to Wes/Theresa/Leroy.

LucciVee#74

I can only see Chey on the season if Aneesa declines. 

ChallengeFan00#75

Cory and aneesa / Chey and Nelson/zak for exes 3

hardbitten#76

Cory/Aneesa should only happen if Cory/Jenny isn't possible. I'm assuming the latter won't happen, tbh, lmaoo.

Tbone#77
Cory and aneesa / Chey and Nelson/zak for exes 3

oh **** no! I don't need raccoon to think he's even more special being on a challenge than he was on AYTO. Didn't he make an account on here messing with us or was it Devin

He was trying to tell us that he was a producer of the show and not a cast member lol

ChallengeFan00#79

yeah I'm sure Cory and Jenny won't happen. what the status between Cory, Jenny, and brian? do they still talk to each other?

If I am not wrong the last time they saw each other was at the reunion lol

She declined exes 2 out of respect for Brian because she knew the type of challenges they were going to make them do with cory.

Aka, Brian would have thrown a tantrum.

Debut Album#84

The Challenges weren't anything all that bad honestly. The only mission that would've caused any problems is the second one.

LucciVee#85

Jenny and Cory would be everything on a Exes 3. Jenny just brings entertainment everywhere she goes.
