Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Vets and New Threats - America Lopez

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.

Tbh CT seems like the type that would get it on with a cactus if given the opportunity so I wouldn't be surprised if he allowed his male/female anatomy  to be colonized by Americo Vespucci...

He'd only have a need to lie if the majority was saying they hooked up.

His gf can't, reasonably, be mad if it's being reported he rejected the advances of someone else. So yeah he could , but Justin was actually live and said he only heard about the CT thing the next day. The only consistent thing seems to be she got touchy with Theo.

GoldenRing#154

And, this is what Justin said. Again, he mentions the CT thing as gossip.

He said he only saw her approaching Theo, and it wasn't that bad. But, America was being weird and "****** up some games". Which is some fecal she did on BB, so I 100% believe that. This is a game of telephone atp.

Why is america wasting that poor boy's time... She even moved in with corey's family for awhile just to do this

entrepreneur#157

The real question is why did they cast America but not Corey? He easily could've fit the role Ben is taking up for the new threats.

Keep booger boy away from mtv

Was she even in the last episode?

Was she even in the last episode?

She had a conversation with Will at the bar.

Accepting apologies on America's behalf 

Apologies for what? Lol

PinkRose#164

CT is the same guy that denied ******* shavinne on the roof of the fuel 2 throwing a tantrum after being exposed and the same guy that still denies what was happening while he was married with one of those cast members.

Either way if production was smart they would have used the little buzz we gave them and show a deleted scene of that night.

Here's the thing...she's actually...not having a bad rookie season? She clearly survived a massive bullet in that Nia round but she's performing well and has ingratiated herself into the Rookies' alliance better than Izzy at this point.

She's almost made the halfway point as one of the physically weakest girls in the house and no one's targeting her for elimination and she's performed like...actually well? She has 16 points. Ashley has 10. Nany has 4.

One drunken night and she decided to blow up any chance of ever getting a callback by not promoting or associating with the show. So dumb. If she was promoting like Ben, I'd have given her 60/40 odds at a second season.

Without Nia gifting her points, how many points would she have right now? I’m always so lost with the point system.

I legit do not get her. She's actually having a decently good rookie season. Played her way into the better aka majority alliance, 2nd highest rookie female in points, gonna survive well into the halfway point of the game. Also seems like she's warmed up and made some friends.

Threw away a sophomore season for booger boy???

Sportsman180#169

I like her. She's actually a rootable underdog. Idk why she threw this opportunity away.

I think the pressure of the Gulf of Mexico being renamed to Gulf of America got to her. Poor thing.

KChallenge10#171

Truthfully I don't think she cares to come back and maybe realized this show wasn't for her after doing it once. I can see her popping back up eventually though. Based on her edit she seems somewhat liked by production and is getting the biggest rookie/underdog edit.  

As a fan I'm just happy she's still there getting screen time/a storyline lol

nah she's never coming back bc spoiler pages said what she really did out there and she couldn't take the heat... because of that she acts like she never did the show. Victor from big brother 18 did the same ignoring of the show and he hasn't been back since so I doubt she will so yall better enjoy her one season.

KChallenge10#173

Meh Victor got a ghost edit and didn't even make it halfway. I don't think she'll be a regular but I can see her being a surprise pop up in a season or 2. Her edit alone shows us how production feels about her compared to rookies like Tay who won two eliminations and still getting the ghost edit. I don't think spoiler pages or her not promoting the show would deter production from calling her again.

she is not coming back. If production calls her she will decline. She chose her relationship over the show.

america has literally said it out her mouth in the podcasts she does with cory hun....She has 0 interest on returning and would do any other show than that again.

Sportsman180#177

America is not getting another chance at this point even if she did a 180 and begged for it.

She's one of the few rookies production cast that had a fanbase and production expected her to bring in viewers. And then she acted like she was never on the show lol.

which is sad because I've liked the little ive seen of her so far. I could have seen her being a regular if the tea pages didn't leave her SPOOKED... I don't watch the show in its entirety but is show giving her a purple edit or is she being given airtime in episodes despite acting like she never did the show?

She's definitely near the bottom of the rookies in terms of airtime. She's getting more casual airtime than Tay, Jake, and Gabe. That's about it. She's been getting slightly more spotlight as the numbers have dwindled.

But her edit is sympathetic and positive. She's getting an underdog edit. Most of her confessionals are like, "Well, I'm scared but I'm gonna try my hardest!" And competition wise, she has been middle of the pack.

If she promoted the show like everyone else, I would've given her 60/40 odds at a second season, at this point.

KChallenge10#180

I think we're putting too much weight on people promoting the shows and America being cast because of her fan base. I don't think production cares for that love America but she doesn't have some massive fan base they were expecting to tune in. Nor do I think they are mad because she's not promoting the show. 

GoldenRing#181

They cut out the most relevant thing she did, especially since the cast spent two weeks discussing it.

That was her moment, so idk if they were doing her a favor or decided it didn't matter.
