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.

Star vanished for 2/3rds of her season LOL. It's like she wasn't even on the show.

peacekeeper is deranged. Anybody they want on the show should be blocked immediately and banned.

Did you watch Survivor 48? It's like she asked like...Tracy from Spies Lies and Allies to return. It's so funny in its absurdity.

no I don't watch survivor except for the highlights. Rome would be good for the challenge like David Edwards. I watch the best bits of Sydney and some other ppl so I'm somewhat familiar. Peacekeeper loves boring people, I think it's a mental deficiency.

Challenge 17#67

Star is 6'1, she has an athletic background and she was kinda funny. She'd be a terrible fit for the show but she's one of Peacekeepers better choices.

Challenge 17#68

Leanne from traitors uk would be a great pick. Pretty, athletic, confrontational, accused by casuals of "bullying"

AshtonMartin#69

Anyone from Australian Survivor? They had some great options a few seasons ago but they are probbaly too old now and I haven't seen any new seasons since David won All Stars.

Zen from Brains v Brawn II was young (I think 22), had personality, athletic, and only left the game early because he got injured and was removed.

Can Raphy be considered a rookie prospect? BRING BACK RAPHY!

FromTheNorth#71

Some of these people are probably old and settled down now but from BBCAN:

  • Ika Wong
  • Godfrey Mangwiza
  • Cassandra Shahinfar
  • Demetrrs Giannitsos
  • Erica Hill
  • Kaela Grant
  • Adam Pike
  • Jamar Lee
  • Minh-Ly Nguyen
  • Jedson Tevernier
  • Santina Carlson
  • Kuzie Mujakachi
  • Ty McDonald
  • Bayleigh Pelham

    They truly dropped the ball with the BBCan people.

    Kinda crazy how theyve cast more from flop bbau than bbcan

    gabbydawn#74
    Julie Pizzi casts/produces Vanderpump Villa on Hulu which is essentially the Lindsay Lohans Beach Club format. Seeing that Skye called people from Southern Hospitality (a really good bravo show she produces ) i'd expect the same to happen to this show and the cast doesn't have strict contracts like the southern hospitality cast. These are the cast members i see getting a call will be making a second post discussing their personalities.

    1. Aiden - He's a delusional b^isexual frat boy who tried to have relations with Paulie in Cara's face and got fired for trying to start drama amongst guests. 

    2. Tyler - attractive fit guy will hook up.

    3. Lexxe - she's one of those people who is boring when shes sober but then becomes  jealous and unhinged when she drinks. She had an Ashley Mitchell x Nicole Ramos coded meltdown in the finale.

    4. Sam - Same as Tyler

    5. Gabriella - Very smart/hard worker and stunning af. I could see her winning a season she's such a leader.

    6. Hannah - She reminds me of those girls on are you the one who would fight someone just for  looking at her no match. Unhinged and is a very 2010 love show coded reality star. 

    7. Marciano - He's literally a more unhinged version of that Brent guy from Lindsay Lohans Beach Club. 

    8. Teeny - She gives me Jonitta from Lindsay Lohans beach club. Very chaotic and quick to put her hands on someone.

    9. Sher - she was on like 3 episodes but Bunim Murray seem to love her since tbey cast her on everything and she was literally nominated for an mtv award lol and she was actually entertaining on this show. 

    OS Kajun#76

    No thanks.

    gabbydawn#77

    No thanks.

    the show is actually messy

    gabbydawn#78

    it's kinda crazy that Julie and Skye are producing great products with entertaining casts on other networks. Just shows that Mtv/paramount is the problem

    Guys, just making a list of names is not going to do anyone any good. At least put a person, a pic, an age, and what makes them memorable or right for The Challenge lol.

    Tvandcoffee#81

    get melinda melrose and chase demoor on here ASAP. They singlehandily carried all star shore season 2. Very competitive, not afraid to speak their minds, and willing to go against the majority.  Chase already has beef with cory so that could be a storyline.

    You have to think they're willing to since they did All Star Shore which was a smaller show that even with the smaller cast probably had similar pay to the challenge. No reason not to bring on two professional shit stirrers who know exactly what their roles are but that's our casting team I guess

    Great pic! Wish she was discovered sooner cuz Idk if she would have longetivity, her partner (who is now in remission from an aggressive cancer) and her have 2 yr old twins together so I feel like she would be a one and done

    Would the NBC Love Islanders do any better on The Challenge than the CBSers? Like all of the CBS US Love Islanders sans Olivia and Justine flopped on The Challenge. Clearly, mentally, the rest were not remotely built for this. Would that change with the NBC casting? Or would we just see more lose a daily, go into elimination, go homers?

    Middlebrooks blasphemy will NOT be tolerated! 

    Tvandcoffee#89

    And its all about who they cast. Production wouldnt get it right anyways. We'd end up with Austin, tj, some random casa boy, and Kenny. None of the ones who are actually good tv.

    FromTheNorth#91

    Islanders got outclassed by the gamers pretty quickly on USA 1 sure but they've done pretty well blending in on the main show. As long as they avoid duds like Jeremiah and random Casa rejects Love Island is probably the show they should be looking to grab from more than anywhere else
