Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Vets and New Threats- Derek Chavez

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.

Snake. Been a snake. But a boring, unfun snake.

Hope if Averey ever gets another shot, her and Justin get to take the killshot against this dweeb.

Uh...she volunteered for him last season and when it was his turn to return the favor, he chickened out. He's a one way friend.

At least he was messy and did something for once.

This, people shouldn't be mad he's actually having impact for a change

OS Kajun#16

Everyone complains these people are boring then bully them when they get a little messy which causes them to be boring again when they return.

Couldn't care less about Derek but he made a game move and it backfired because Justin won.  Hardly unforgivable.  We'll see if he keeps playing the game or makes this worse

The way that this moment will likely be his legacy on the show lmao I hope Justin stays on his neck for that cause that was foul.

He's made 2 finals....him voting in a rookie and lying to him isn't a big deal.  If anything it was good for him because people are talking about him.

People make finals all the time but when all is said and done people will mostly remember he brought being gay into the game to connect with someone just to turn their back on him the next day. I already see his fan fave viewers perspective changing. I honestly forgot he made 2 finals and only remembered his 1 final lol

Same way people look at Nia's legacy as blow dryer fight with Averey and calling Nany a *** guzzling **** and not her final appearances. 

SeauxMtv#21

Fake

Fraud

Sloppy

Snakey

Flopnanas#22

I've never liked him hopefully he gets a hallbrawl and pummeled for fruit fly sake

Challenge 17#23

This is more than he usually provides so i respect the shady move.

Being gay doesn't mean he has to play the game with him.  They're all using each other. 

Nothing with Portland matters with Challenge legacy.  Nia's Challenge legacy is getting kicked off for assaulting Jordan only to sleep with him, making a final and failing to live up to expectations

Most people won't even remember Justin existed in a couple years unless he becomes a regular

Gaslighting him over them both being gay was pretty lame

KChallenge10#27

I'm not saying he needs to play the game with him because he's gay but I and many viewers think it's foul preaching about protecting him because he's gay and gays always get picked on to the turn around and do the same. Derek added that element to the game for no reason just to now look like a fraud. It would have been better if he just said hey I'll try to look out for you instead of doing a whole we are the gays we got each others back PSA and going back on his word the next day.

It's a game.  Everyone lies...Derek played the odds and lost.  Hopefully that hurts his game but most people won't remember this in 5 years...maybe 5 weeks

PinkRose#29

In my opinion, Derek often acts in a way that seems socially conscious, primarily to seek attention. This reminds me of his social media post where he said, “I will unfollow you if you voted for Trump.” When people bring up Cara in relation to this, he gets upset. However, when he faces criticism for his comments, he tends to adopt a victim mentality like his recent IG post of people calling him out. People wouldn’t have a problem if he hadn’t made such a fuss about it in the first place. Personally, I don’t care who anyone follows, but if you choose to make a big deal about something on social media or on the show, I will hold you accountable for not being consistent in the way you move.

He told Justin he was passing the torch? Like he is Shane or Frank Lol

Exactly he made it about being gay then went back. That's just cornball behavior.

Id give him more credit for being a snake if the move he made didn't uphold the usual status quo. It didn't do anything for him , nor was it interesting. 

killakashhh#31

He didn't want to go against Olivia or p^iss off Cara
