Behind the Screen: Challenge Rookie Prospects

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.

BUT honestly it doesnt matter who they cast at this point. It's a 25 year old show on a dying network thats a dying show...

BUT honestly it doesnt matter who they cast at this point. It's a 25 year old show on a dying network thats a dying show. Even if they cast 30 will's nothing will bring the show anywhere close to a million viewers again. This show is not going to attract gen z when half the cast is old enough to be their parents and their pushing it to be about competitions and explosions.

The Nany/Will fight showed the magic blueprint that's been missing since Era 3. Fresh romantic realtionship based game drama is how the show builds itself back into relevancy. And it must be fresh. No Tori and Jordan five years old bull fecal.

You never see me posting in the challenge episode threads when the episode airs lol dummy. Why would I lie about that lmao. I watch survivor instead which you see me always spamming about queen savannah

GoldenRing#426

Cedric is fine for a return, everyone can't crashout that's tiring.

And, him being a lil shady might make his next season a bit more interesting. Yeremi can go can't do nothing with that.

kaycee kinda has a storyline now i wouldn't MIND her back for a season no?

will Blue last more than 3 female elims next challenge?

GoldenRing#432

Derrick really sent Blue into elimination so I'm not too hard on her.

But, America was the only one she was beating in that. Work on that endurance not that AAVE next time, ma.

OS Kajun#433

Hopefully she isn't called.

Blue is a Seoul sista

and what are WE?!

gabbydawn#436

Blue was young, fresh, ans hot. Loved her

Sportsman180#437

She can certainly last more than 3. But def won't last more than 8. If she ever makes the halfway point, I would honestly be shocked.

killakashhh#438

Blue would've made it farther if not for crippled

Derrick was easily the 2nd worst cast inclusion of 41. After Aneesa of course. Even Ben brought more.

AshtonMartin#440

After that chicken and waffles song I think new era survivors should be BLACKLISTED from the challenge #JustMyOpinion

except dee, sydney, sam, kaleb, and savannah

cassidy earned a call back after USA 2 tbh

AshtonMartin#441

Depends on format. 

if last place goes in, no.     if it's vote based then yes.

Her lack of inclusion the past two and a half years has been such bull fecal . She better be on 42!!!

My only guess is bc they didn't include USA 2 rookies on 39 bc they didn't know the order it would be aired, She didn't fit onto 40, and 41 only had 8 Vet spots (imo she could have had aneesa or aviv's but production is stupid)

GoldenRing#444

I remember it was stated that Michele was the only USA 2 cast member who said yes, but others got calls.

So Cassidy not being on was her choice. It was less than a month between both.

Alyssa Lopez>>>everyone else

Sportsman180#446

Alyssa Lopez>>>everyone else

Has she retired from Reality TV? Isn't she a reality show talent manager now?

gabbydawn#447

Yep. She was actually serious about not needing the show unlike Tori.

My controversial rookie choice is Sierra from love island 6 (closed)
El Lobito#449

143 posts in the last couple days and like 95% of it was all useless bullfecal about survivor women nobody cares about, YAWN

derp1987#450

long gone are the good ole days of vevmo. i still like reading the opinions of a few frequent posters about new episodes and what not. most of it im just sighing and scrolling through haha.

Sportsman180#451

I'm serious about Sophi B though, if she was even Dee-level athletic and single, these boards would be plastered with posts from me about her lol.
