Behind the Screen: The challenge: Total Madness - Jenny West

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.

She's learning on the fly. Clearly, tried to be overtly political when she didnt have to be so involved in every vote. I think she'll be much less involved next season after watching herself on tv.

I could honestly see her just try to hook up with everyone instead next season. Just from her training regiment, plastic surgery, this girl will do anything to have success. She needs a recipe. 

Just look at her hall brawls. From being an akward mess vs Tori to utter dominance over Dee who is no slouch!

I think Jenny could be a star in the future!

For Jenny to be a star, there needs to be more to her than her physical dominance. She's boring and what she provides is nothing but a Bananas lapdog. At least Dee could provide other things. Jenny can stay home.

They were cuddling buddies according to Dee

I felt for her a bit. She made a move that so many othes have done in the past she just happened to get exposed for it. All she did was side with the majority to try and keep herself safe. I wish she would be more confident in herself though. I wanted her to take the vote on the chin and tell Rogan that she wishes she could go against him to take him out lol

Laurel ******************** would make her so much better.

Morris1721#68

I usually hate people that follow Bananas but it's only her second season so it's not like she's been up his *** for years, and it honestly benefited her this season so far. She pretty much coasted all season with a red skull and then got stuck in a messy situation in the last elimination of the season, but she made a smart move with who she aligned with. I hate Bananas but I give her credit for doing what she had to do, and I also give her credit for learning how to compete in Hall Brawl.

AshAsh#69

Ive actually been thinking for a while that Bananas must be one of the only Vets who make some of these Rookies feel included in any kind of allience because all the new UK people (minus Theo & early Joss ) seem to absolutly love him. Jenny being no exception and because theyre new and havent got many options they just end up doing whatever he wants since  keeping him safe equals keeping them safe.

Worthless

Dreamdoll#71

I don't hate her but I wouldn't mind if she doesn't come back. And if she do come back I want her out ASAP. She too deep on Bananas ****

I can see her/kaycee being the new Tori and Mattie that casuals love while not providing much. (Tori is the most entertaining one out of the 4)

TeamLandon#75

She needs to learn how to explain herself better.. her argument to Rogan should've been an easy one.. he didn't have the votes so she went with majorty.. not sure why she went into a frantic ramble lol

KChallenge10#76

I feel like if she's on a future season with girls that actually challenge her (physically or vote her in) we'll see more out of her. You can tell she has paranoia now when she's slightly challenged and I feel like a stacked female side with girls like Laurel, Ashley, Kam etc who aren't afraid to go after her we'll see a more panicky/paranoid Jenny which could be interesting.

I feel Kam would rattle a girl like Jenny and if these girls don't wanna take shots at her girls like Kam & Laurel definitely will and they wouldn't hesitate so I agree with everything but Ashley. Without numbers Ashley is basically useless and just another vote for a alliance 

AshAsh#78

I think if shes on next season pretty much all the girls (espically someone like Kam) will target her super early because keeping her till the end is just crazy and we'll see Jenny crack under the pressure and lose it. Shes already shown signs of that. I see her being one the first 4 girls out.

Shes not made many stong alliences with any of the other girls either, the ones she is friends with like Georgia and Meliisa wont be comming back.

Psy4potato#79

So glad she won that elminmation.  Cory was beyond annoying this last episode.  She seems like a genuine good person and def a bright light of positivity on what's turned into a gloomy vibe show.

Jenny 100% strikes me as someone who would seriously crack under pressure. Maybe we'll see differently in the final but she seems easy to rattle.

you say that as if Jenny would be super easy to get rid of in an elimination. Not sure why Kam is a sure bet to eliminate Jenny?? I don't see it that way at all. There are certain types of eliminations that I can see Jenny eliminating Kam.

She's saying Kam will target her, not necessarily go into elimination and do the deed herself

I didnt mean Kam would be the one who'd take Jenny out in an elimination herself, i meant people like Kam next season will target Jenny early so she gets no where near a final by constantly trying to get her thrown into as many eliminations as possible.....Well thats if they've learnt anything thing from watching this season. 

JayTee#84

I don't see the hype around Jenny. She works out so much and still got her *** beat by Tori. Jenny just seems like another gatekeeper. She doesn't suck, but isn't great either. I think Jenna is a far better competitor than her.

Tori's a good competitor and one of my faves, but she benefited hugely because Jenny didn't know how to hit. She obviously learned. I'm not sure what criteria Jenna has over Jenny, but Jenna has gone downhill over her career and I'm pretty sure Jenny would beat her in pretty much anything.

Outside if losing to Tori (who's a good competitor to begin with), Jenny has shown to be an above average competitor.

Now the ***** learns how to handle a hall brawl. Smh...

I only said Ashley because she's smart and knows that it would be better if Jenny didn't make it to the end lol Either way we need more girls willing to make moves next season. I feel like the Red Skull twist made this harder to do.

He could have been told it was Hall Brawl but honestly Dee was never beating Jenny in Hall Brawl so doesnt matter that much

flyguy#90

Kam flung Jenny twice last season in that mission. 

Morris1721#91

If Jenny went at it like she did Tori, Dee stood a chance. But since Bananas MAGICALLY knew it was hall brawl and training her, mixed with Jenny wanting to really punish Dee, Dee stood zero chance. And honestly it doesn't surprise me now even more that they threw in Dee. On top of everyone wanting her gone anyways, Bananas and Kyle didn't want to screw Melissa, they knew Kaycee would match up well with Jenny, and Bayleigh is way bigger than Dee so honestly she was the best option.
