Behind the Screen: The Challenge: USA - Shan Smith

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.

Loving her (tv show persona, not social media persona) tremendously today.

Her postshow behavior is very cringe but she was very fun in the premerge so hesitantly looking forward to her on this

I think she played way too hard in the early stages of the game so I get confused when peoples call her a good player when she had bad strategy showing her card too quickly

To be fair most times if you play hard as a man people cream themselves over but they can never take it from a woman.

How is Shan overrated? She was incredibly entertaining with really good cutthroat moments. Ya'll just hating to hate, yeah she's god awful on social media but let's not kid ourselves that Miss Shantel was Survivor 41. Facts.
