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.

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

Simone was doing way too much.

And none of it was entertaining in the least.

I'm not convinced that she's anything special. ***** is a dime a dozen. Thomas deserves a better partner.

What do you mean Thomas deserves a better partner? He hasn't done anything on the last two seasons that makes him deserving of anyone besides Simone. He also has his moments where he's extra as hell with that annoying voice of his sounding like he just finished a six pack of Budweiser.

Well he doesn't need to do anything to deserve a better partner, he just simply does. And honestly Thomas really isn't all that extra(well as far a challenges. He was extra on his RW season).

PinkRose#99

I am the only one that like Thomas and find him entertaining lol

Gucci Mane#100

I think Thomas might actually be entertaining this season. Loved seeing him in John's face in the preview.

Really? Thought you'd find him boring.

But yeah...I don't mind him. Not the most interesting castmember though.

I'm in no way a fan of Simone but really debut. You can't call her a dime a dozen then say you like Thomas who is basically no different from any other preppy frat boy.

But I don't go around toting Thomas as this big character who's gonna do so much for this show like people do with Simone. I never said Thomas was special in anyway and I agree with you that Thomas ain't all that different either but I don't mind the kid. There's no hype for Thomas but there's a ton of hype for Simone that she frankly hasn't lived up to.

Thomas is awkward, he reminds me of Charlie Puth.. his facial expressions when he's yelling is really funny to me.

I think he always bring something to the table, except for exes 2 because he was out early and his argument witj Simone was cut off.

Real world he had drama, bloodlines he was part of one of the biggest storyline and this time around it looks like he get into it with Bananas/Vince.

Why would that be surprising?

Khaldrago#111

i hope they get eliiminated early.  not a fan of either one

dylan76#112

I don't  mind Thomas.   Hes a fresh face still & I think drama follows him like a lost dog.  I will  cheer like a ************ when this team gets sent home though, because I can't stand that rodent partner of his.

His comment on Simone's weave was lame and unncessary.

agreed lmao i was watching the episode with like 4 other people and a few of them were like wait... 

it came across lowkey racist and very random. super awkward

Debut Album#115

Well I mean...her weave wasn't all that good honestly. SOMEONE needed to point it out.

Simone's weave does look good. Atleast it doesn't look like a bird's nest the way Jasmine's hair did on Rivals 2 and Devyn on every season she was on.

Yeah.. She looks better than those 2 but I have seen better weave though.

Simone's weave is A-1 honestly. I like when girls wear that wild, rough-sex type of weave over that straight shit.

Nia makes these girls her sons though....she made ALL of them step their game up lmaooo

same same

I like Nia but her weave in that picture is tragic. It looks like she's wearing a wig sideways. Her hair looked best during Portland.
