Behind the Screen: The challenge: Total Madness - Asaf Goren

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.

Weird that his chyron was "Celebrity Ninja Warrior" instead of, yknow, one of the MTV shows he was on. Though I suppose I suppose they wanted to give him more athletic credibility...

yeah that was really weird or the fact that they didn't even mention that him & Tori knew each other 

There's no point in investing in a storyline that was never going to develop regardless. Tori is wifed up and they probably haven't been in touch. idk.

They don't care about ayto anymore, it's pretty simple

I would believe that if it wasn't known that Bria (AYTO7) was asked/cast but dropped out. Why even go through the trouble of asking if they didn't care? It was said that she was supposed to be en route to the Czech Republic but she backed out at the last minute.

They called Amber and Jenna from AYTO8 for this season

I mean pr said they only cast him after he won big brother Israel and they went out of their way to not include him being on ayto. That to me shows they don't care

I mean the days of them casting 4-5 people from one season are probably done but in the case of people like Bria, Kenya, those two AYTO8 girls with whatever was going on with them, etc. it seems they'll make exceptions whenever they want to. Asaf just had an extensive enough resume + the whole international angle to "justify" them not mentioning his MTV days no matter how dumb the whole thing really is. Plus they know most of the viewers are deadheaded zombies & likely can't remember what happened an hour ago, much less Asaf's previous MTV time that happened 4 years ago.

Tragic all around but that's MTV & it's viewers for you. They do it b/c they can get away with it.

He needs to come back. He impressed the hell out of me.

Am I the only one who doesn’t find him attractive?

WarumAuchNicht#42

Why do you think they didn't mention his fling with Tori?Because of Jordan? I thought that's why he got cast years after his AYTO season...

ohhaiii#43

Why does everyone keep expecting them to mention his fling with Tori? He was only there for one episode and it had 0 impact on the game.  If he stuck around longer or if it actually had to do with why they voted him in the producers might have shown it.  I think its weird they didnt mention the AYTO thing at all but the Tori thing isnt that weird to not mention.

Because His fling with Tori didnt had anything to do with his storyline this season. Tori and him were a thing for like 3 episodes on ayto then it was mostly around him and Francesca. On ayto second chances him and Tori were friends.

No he wasnt ask over Tori, he was ask over being international and winning big brother Israel/winning ninja warrior Israel.

lol really? I didn't care about any of the four new dudes but he stuck out the most to me this episode. It could be cause he was with Nany who is my fav cast member this season, but at least he got air time. Swaggy did nothing lol his gf did all the talking for him will he just sat there lol

Like him way more this one episode than anything he did on AYTO.
