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.

I like how the curly hair weave looks on her, it has been her best look from her shows apperances...

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

Why would that be surprising?

he just doesnt seem like part of the demographic that would know about or comment on weaves

Even a dumb, preppy frat boy like Thomas can spot a ratty-ass wig like hers.

bluehatchet2#127
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.

BYEEEE w the unintentional dragging!!!

Ain't nothing ratty about Simone's weave. I'm sure that hair belonged to some Brazilian or Indian lady.

It ain't store bought like the artificial shit Jonna used to wear on these shows.

It was MUCH better than anything any other girls had worn in the past (except for maybe Jonna on Free Agents & Nia herself on Free Agents).

Oh yes there is. I bet a bunch of roaches and spiders come out of that shit at night.

She will NEVER live this down as long as I'm alive lmaoooo

Her friends & family hated her during that time.....gave zero ***** & didn't try to tell her nothing.

WittyWrath#134

Jasmine's hair on Rivals 2 was better than that the hair Jonna had on Real World. That shit looked like it used to crawl around the house at night while the cast was sleep.

Bananas#135

This the most awkward pair ever 

anon333334#136

Aneesa used to look crazy too. I can't find a pic of whatever foolishness she plopped on her head on The Duel.

LMAO

This is still W.O.A.T though, more than even Jasmine/Jonna/Devyn/etc..

Random note but she looked her best on Battle of the Sexes 2 IMO. She looked good with long hair.

Debut Album#139

I will agree that Simone's shit looks WAY better than Jasmine's(espeically in the pic that Grahik posted) but it ain't nothing to write home about.

I legit just laughed out loud.

Oh, and Simone is killing it this season.

dylan76#141

The first dunk simone takes in the water with that shit on her head & her little troll *** is sinking like a stone. 

dylan76#142

I had to laugh at that pic of Jasmine though.  Why the **** WHY?

WittyWrath#143

Thomas is a perfect example of what happens when you're considered a Vet and allow it to go to your head. On the other two seasons he was on he hasn't did much so the way he talks about Simone is crazy. In the last challenge he didn't even get his soap melted to be mad at her.

Camille#144

I feel bad for Thomas. Simone sucks at competitions AND is annoying. Lol at the way she embarassed herself with Wes. She knows what she's doing though. She wants to get future invites, and I think she will get them.

Why is everyone always hating on the black girls and their weave? It's hard to maintain when you're in a challenge environment!

gr4pefruits#145

Thomas is funny but he doesn't really bring much to the table. He BARELY beat Cohutta on Bloodlines and he's twice his size lmao. He lucked out in Exes 2 and Bloodlines b/c neither of the elims were his 'fault' but I doubt he would've done much better than his partners. 

Debut Album#146

Thomas is looking mighty sexy on this season. Especially in this past episode.

Lol he's let himself go a lot. For the worse imo.

rideordie95#148

Is anybody else impressed a bit by Simone's performance this season so far for being short and a AYTO?

Even though she didn't successfully finished any of them... 

1. She grabbed the 3rd skull on the 1st challenge. Outperformed Princess Hulk Wannabe

2. she grab the second bar on the last mission. Outperformed Dario & Christina

WittyWrath#149

I agree and think Simone has been a decent competitor despite her size. Thomas has talked a lot of shit and his performance has been lackluster like he might need to get Cory to start training him if he wants to stick around for future seasons. Like if it wasn't for Simone being involved in drama this season Thomas would pretty much be invisible. 

LucciVee#150

Simone weave is better than any black girls hair I've seen on this show but Cheyenne weave takes the cake. Wink

Challenge 17#151

Hate this team. Thomas and simone are both obnoxious and i cringe whenever they speak.
