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.

He said on Mike Lewis' podcast that he got called for Vendettas (or a challenge around that time) but he had a broken leg at the time so he couldn't go on

Where tf is King Thomas! Provided hookups, drama, won a few things. Got absolutely terrible luck. Lost his first elimination bc of Hailey and didn't even get to move from his spot, Won his elimination against cohutta, then Stephen lost his elimination which sent Thomas home, then left early on rivals bc his GF faked a huge emergency. King has never lost an elimination

Yes, Simone spilled it on live. She did it because she was watching Bloodlines which was airing while they were filming Rivals 3 and saw him and Cara

Def would love to see Thomas back - was never a fan of Simone - she overacted way to much.

Thomas can rot in hell for all I care. Team Simone!

Wavemoon#222

Simone was a godsend, so underused

I will never forgive them for how they did Simone. Never.

Thomas should have done more challenges. He contributed when he was there. 

flyguy#228

he was a ***** since his RW szn. no thanks

The Thomas/Cara Maria / Abe storyline was enough to give him another shot. 

Kari_daddy#230

Rewatching this season and Thomas really said that Simone had a 17 pound weave LMAO please. 

hardbitten#231

Think I'd rather another season with Thomas over a majority of the people they putting on now.

I didn't even watch this season but Thomas really is a King

Gucci Mane#232

I thot he'd be a regular along with the other Explosion regulars

Tom gave us the gift of an early exit of Simone - we should be eternally grateful to him.  lol 

Kari_daddy#237

Simone is one of my favorite new age challengers. Sorry. 

Psy4potato#238

Simone is one of my favorite new age challengers. Sorry. 

eh we all have different opinions.  She was one of my least favorite cast members to be added to the show.  I thought her first appearance she might have a little potential, but she became insufferable and fake like a lot of the other new people.  Nothing seemed genuine.  

Kari_daddy#239

@potato oh I absolutely understand. Yes she was extra for the camera and that can be either hit or miss. For me it was a hit because I tend to like the cast members more that try, but aren't even concerned as being seen as athletic lol. 

White Skull#240

Simone is one of my favorite new age challengers. Not sorry.
