Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Vendettas - Victor Arroyo

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.

shocked mtv is giving him more airtime than some people when he acts like he was never on the show.

Im curious what happens that causes him to not even promote the show at all. I've liked him on the show so far

Same. Like he is playing a decent game for a rookie. Shawn Johnson had a positive experience on Champs vs Pros and never once mentioned it. But Victor doesn’t really follow anyone on social media and no one really follows him. I’m curious how it goes so horribly wrong for him.

fav and for what? He was a snoozefest in his BB season too and benefited from twists to stay in the game. His good edit gave him the prize for America’s Favorite Player (IMO it should’ve been given to Natalie or Da’Vonne but BB Casuals hate women).

Fave bcuz he's hot, funny, and a beast competitor. Paul and him had the same game and were on the block together every time. Vic got evicted bcuz he was the biggest threat, doesnt make him a bad player.

Just now reading this. Paul and Victor did not play the same game. Victor had no social game and relied on Paul for that. They were not on the block  together "every" time. They were on the block together one time, which was the last time (of three lol) for Victor because he was evicted.

false. Early on he didnt have a great social game but when he came back he changed and was really likable

brett#70

will he even go to the reunion u think

Debut Album#71

He's not wildly entertaining but he's been getting a decent amount of screentime he doesn't seem that bad of a competitor. He's alright with me.

anon454545#72

He is decent looking and has a ***** of course you like him DA.

"Really likable" =/= "great social game" His social game was not GREAT. He had more opportunities to improve it with re-entering the house twice, and he did improve it . My point is to dispute the claim that Victor and Paul had the "same game." Victor was a meat shield.

Maybe he changed his mind and wants to try for S32?

JUMPY#83

Nicole talking about Victor's time on The Challenge is pretty interesting.  She said they asked him back twice after but he hated it.  

Eddie1378#84

No way they asked Victor back lol. He didnt promote the show at all

PinkRose#85

No way they asked Victor back lol. He didnt promote the show at all

Everyone gets availability calls unless they remove their name from their spreadsheet which probably at that time they didn't 

Stany#86

Pretty much what we always assumed. He hated the backstabbing in BB too and The Challenge is even more hostile and cliquey. This just wasn't his thing.

RJC87#87

But Victor like REFUSES to even talk about The Challenge. I feel like there's more to it than just not liking the way the game is played. I don't know why but I got the feeling someone had dirt on him and he just doesn't even want to bring the experience up haha.

richjoe92#88

Or he just disliked the environment so much he doesn't care to bring it up. Not everything has to be deep.

RMD1#89

I'm surprised Nicole let him do a challenge tbh.

Flopnanas#90

I remember he wouldnt even do promo on his IG or post the cast photo at all. I've always wondered why he hated it so much as he wasnt even there long enough. I always thought it was messed up because at that point it was still kinda new for them to cast big brother people on the challenge... so he should have been thankful he was. He had 3 chances to win at big brother in one season and still lost, honestly he probably had a better shot at the challenge considering his athletic background.
