Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Vets and New Threats - Gabe Wai

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.

The Challenge: Vets and New Threats - Gabe Wai

From everything we've heard and the deleted Gabe/Cedric fight that got posted, all of his "drama" came from random moments of rage that made no sense thematically/narratively to included in the show.

So if all he's giving is screaming matches about random slights and shit like that, no wonder they can't use any of it.

if they can show will randomly punching bus seats they could show his fight with gabe

They repackaged that bit into the Will/Dee storyline.

The Gabe/Cedric fight from what I could tell was Gabe getting mad because Cedric smiled about something Gabe said after the Ashley/Aneess fight and thought Cedric wss clowning on him. It lasted 45 seconds. Narratively useless. If I had to guess, Gabe's drama consists of mostly stuff like that, aka impossible to build an actual narrative around it.

They showed Derrick and Leo arguing over a bar tab didn't matter either.

Honestly, that is the most useless fight of the season but it fit the storyboard narratives production was trying to set. With Leo being chaotic and Derek's social game being a mess this season.

Kind of annoying but I'd welcome him back

We know my opinion of Tony and I think Gabe is 10x less intelligent.  He makes Nelson look like a genius.  

The only worse decision was Zach/Amanda going in

Nelson is the stupidest person we have seen on this show

Probably but Gabe was on another level this season.   Everything he did was stupid.  We know he can't solve a puzzle (he admits this), we know he can't think for himself, we know he's easily manipulated....just all bad for Gabe.  

TwoStrikes#80

i kinda hate him lol

killakashhh#81

I would enjoy him a little bit more if he wasn't a bottom of the barrel competitor that belittles his female partners
