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 and simone are both obnoxious and i cringe whenever they speak...

I know Simone has extra hate for fighting Ashley who is fan fave but I love how chill Simone is on her bed while Ashley is screaming. Besides the first fight with Tony, Simone isn't as bad as people make her out to be. I don't enjoy her as much as I did on AYTO but I still like her. I was proud of her for not giving up at the past challenge.

simone isnt a horrible competitor. i mean she has been trying every single mission shes participated in since exes 2. i also actually find her quite pretty this time around

mariochristopher__#158

Yeah Simone always puts forth effort & can hang a bit. I also love her chillness when arguing with Ashley.

Simone is not that good of a competitor to me. I mean she's doing her best but sometimes your best isn't enough..

i'm enjoying simone on the show moreso than some other ayto representation and definitely moreso than thomas

Well yea when production creates unfair challenges that cater to taller people, her best isn't gonna be enough unless she figures out a way to defy gravity.

smh, most things cater to taller people.....

Jenn is short yet she's never let that hold her back, on cutthroat she made a jump Laurel couldn't.  Cohutta is shorter than most of the other guys and he did great on free agents. Camila is just as short as Simone and she's always done solid.  I'm so sick of people saying that's the only reason Simone is bad.

Hahaha at Thomas calling himself dad bod. But hey, I enjoyed it!!!!

I think Camila is slightly taller than Simone but anyways I'm actually trying to figure out how people are making Simone to be this terrible competitor. In my opinion she was solid like she wasn't the greatest but she also wasn't terrible. The only challenge she really did terrible in was the soap challenge but aside from that she tried her best in everything else. I think most people's judgement of her are clouded by their dislike for her personality.

The same way people always made Jasmine a terrible competitor lol

Jasmine was never really that bad, she was just small but did well or okay most of the time.

I think Simone has a height disadvantage, but she is far from bad.

Yeah Jasmine wasn't terrible her personality just became more annoying to me especially when she acted like a **** on Free Agents plus with Nia and Latoya around she was no longer needed.

WittyWrath#168

The only two girls who were really terrible this season were Jessica and Chey. I think Jessica would be better if she had a partner who uplifted her but Chey just needs to stay home or acctually train if she's asked back again.

I think some people are just making her out to better than what she is on the count of them liking her...

Briana wasn't that good to me.

I disagree. The people who really like such as myself and Blue refer to her as Queen because of her personality but as a competitor I've only seen people say she's solid which she is.

PinkRose#172

I dont like her, but I dont think she is horrible. She is ok, I would rank her over Jess that somehow people on here over rate.

bluehatchet2#173

Simone is okay. Like above Jessica but slightly under Christina.

WittyWrath#179

The fight was over a girl too. When did Simone become gay because unless the "boyfriend" she yelled at Tony about on Rivals 3 was a girl.

WittyWrath#180

She definitely don't want it with Shanae either because she got jumped by two girls and handled herself well.

AT ALL. Yeah Simone ain't no scary one but Shanae will body her with ease.
