Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Vets and New Threats - Adrienne Naylor

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'll say it again: I'm 100% good with Adrienne returning. She competes well, isn't a couch, and is charismatic on camera...

I'll say it again: I'm 100% good with Adrienne returning. She competes well, isn't a couch, and is charismatic on camera. That's all I truly expect from a rookie. The storyline BS comes down to editors deciding whether you're worthy, and they make the wrong decisions 8 out of every 10 times. So for my rubric, Adrienne is definitely returnee material.

HOWEVER, I just don't think she's had a remotely interesting or anything close to a "breakout" season thus far. Getting loud with Bananas is all I got so far in terms of inserting herself into the season's story. She's held no power, she's made no moves. She joined a bad alliance on Day 1 and rode it until the wheels fell off. I'm gonna need more...

Pretty sure The Challenge producers are going to cast based on who you like…

  1. She argued with Bananas.
  2. She was petty and ended a friendship over a vote.
  3. She’s a decent competitor.

Then, based on what we’ve heard but hasn’t been shown:

  1. She hooked up with Gabe, then got the ick and dropped him two days later.
  2. She confronted Sydney, while the other girl backed down.

So both in scenes shown and not shown, she’s given us a hookup, a breakup, confrontation, and good confessionals. She covers all the bases. I’m pretty sure we’ll continue to see her being petty if they keep voting her in. She has it in her.

They love Tay but I am not shock they used to love Jenna too

Its because of the elimination wins tbh. They put so much stock into them. Especially if they aren't puzzles.

1. Yes, like I said.

2. 90% of the rookies that get voted in by a friend do that. That's absolutely nothing special. How many rookies I've heard over the years, "I will never talk to her/him again, they're dead to me! When I get back in that house...blah blah blah".

3. Yes.

1. Like I said, I blame the editors too.

2. That's Adrienne just talking. I have no evidence or context for this confrontation. Sydney didn't even vote for them so what was she confronted about? If I actually get a full story or footage, I will comment on it. I doubt her reaction was as strong as hers to Leo, because she didn't/doesn't consider Sydney a friend, so no real "betrayal".

The casuals are morons. They want Horacio and Tay and Jordan and Jenna and Tori types to run the show. Not just as complimentary parts, they want those types to have ALL the spots. They want a bunch of stoic "competitiors" with no storylines and no drama bowing down to the Super-Vets and winning rookie vs rookie eliminations and the one that wins three or four gets to come back and be boring on the next season.

They all want Spies, Lies, and Allies to be the template for the season they desire. They are fools and morons and if they got their way, The Challenge would've been cancelled 15 seasons ago.

I like Tay because she is pretty and dress nice lol But not as a reality star she is to nice, but right now that's casuals favorite.

Did you see the CT and Tay final words video? He barely let her get out two sentences. Even for someone that "cares" about her, he doesn't let her talk lol.

Sydney's not stupid, she knows if 42 films through May, Dee's not going to be able to come. And America self-exiled. Tay's cut. Blue's a first boot even if she comes back. Leka's life on this show is completely dependent on the reunion. So Adrienne and Izzy are all she may have lol. Best to make nice now.

You always tells us this about America and Dee every week. Like we got it that you think they wouldn't be on 42.

Lol, sometimes I type for the casuals that don't follow the BTS/off-season as closely.

And if America gets a callback, that will be the funniest thing ever.

PinkRose#106

My girl isn't winning a balance elimination lmaooooo her thoughts are huge

CosmicDiva#107

Her last name písses me off. Somebody change it to Taylor or Baylor or something. Tfruitfly is a Naylor

Sportsman180#108

Her comeback chances PLUMMETED after tonight.

Lost a footrace to America. Badly.

Got outwitted by the whole house.

Won the elimination while losing 4 of 5 rounds, with the 5th a half-azzed tie lol.

An absolutely PATHETIC display.

I thought she was a 7/10 competitor.

Tonight, it proves she's barely a 4/10.

Plummeted? Since when you are the one giving the calls? Lmaoo she was one of the first rookies from this season that got an availability call for 42.

Someone get Sportsboy his 42 speculation thread before he becomes fully unhinged.

Thoroughly impressed with her performance tonight. Saved their team. Major improvement from being 1% better than Derrick in the pillow fight elimination.

Took you three weeks to respond to her Episode 12 performance lol? I'm happy she killed Episode 15 because Episode 12 was like an all time horrible performance.

I am not here every day checking every thread decided to comment on here after watching her performance on last night episode

I'm happy she got that moment last night. She honestly killed that elimination. She's proven to be resilient and she has heart. I still think she's Temu Georgia lol, but she's earned 42.

OS Kajun#118

Overrated. 

Sportsman180#119

Overrated. 

I actually do like her. I still think her biggest issue is the accent. I barely understand her more than Jenny.

The most confessionals out of the girls after Olivia
