Behind the Screen: The Challenge: UK - Episodes Discussion

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.

I think they were all going to be streaming from today from the start.

Intrestingly, the episodes have air dates of 17th January which is what that article said a few weeks back. So it definitely got delayed for some reason

BYE LMAOOO THE HOST BEING LIKE "YOU'RE OVER HALFWAY" IN EPISODE 3 WHEN ONLY LIKE 4 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ELIMINATED

Lady Says#9

Did a large number of them end up dropping out at the last minute, or was it always planned as just 16?

Australia flopped rating wise too lol

In reality the only one that had the correct strategy was Telefe (Argentina) airing right before the biggest show of the country, started promo since November & stretching episodes by dividing them into dailies episodes + eliminations episodes allowing for some type of storyline to develop

Is this on US Paramont and if so is it worth watching?

60c#14

i think its on Paramount tmrw. its only 5 episodes, if you watched the other spinoffs i would recomend this one just for consistancy lol

Nany_MTV#15

Bye lmaoooo they still beat Australias 11k viewers

derp1987#16

i thought this was really good!

Tvandcoffee#17

Idk if it wouldve helped ratings wise as it sounds like the promo was horribly done but what is the reason for not using any of the previous UK challengers? Seems like an obvious choice 

timster3#18

Watching episode 2 these straight men ain't afraid to get down and do lap dances on other men. Imagine if we got scenes of Bananas, Wes, or CT dry ******* and twerking another man to save themselves from going into elimination. Who is doing it like the UK? Nobody! American culture is sad!

In 5 episodes of UK the Challengers have had more fun than any on the pass 3 seasons. The main show is boring compared to the UK and AU

anon12423452355...#20

I'd like to see some of these on the main show. Enjoyed the first couple of episodes. Kinda boring but a likeable cast.

anon12423452355...#21

AJ needs to be on the main show. I hate the face tattoos but Callum would also be great. Anabelle, Ella, Zara, and Kaz C would be welcome too.

callum looked so much better without the face tats. I didnt even recognize him at first from when he was on ex on the peak

Did aj say no or was he not asked due to DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

timster3#24

Are callum and Ella together? I don't feel like checking. Please answer or I'll quit this site forever. 

anon12423452355...#25

They have no pics together on social media and do not follow eachother so I'm guessing no.

I'm committed to not losing the face of Vevmo. 

Peacekeeper22#29

Every season should have the same length as this.

Challenge 17#30

I liked it tbh. I do wish we got like 1 more episode to give us some more info about the cast, but I thought it was pretty good.

timster3#31

 I skipped right through episode 4. Maybe I'm tired of seeing e same dailies but I couldn't do it. I'll try to watch the final tonight but idec tbh
