Behind the Screen: The Challenge: Vets & New Threats- Reunion Part 1 & Par

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.

Michaela and Olivia was honestly the only thing worth watching. It was a pretty terrible Part 1.

Sportsman180#96

Dee and Jake were completely terrible. Adrienne, Justin, and Izzy barely existed. Cedric and Sydney disappointed. Will looked coked out of his mind. Gabe...oh Gabe. Leka ate with her one comment that Gabe was way more aggressive to girls of color, but that was it. Leo was okay but also nonsensical. Like always.

Ashley was fun. Derek surprisingly did well. Michaela vs Olivia was good. Most of the vets were who they always are.

Pretty dull reunion thus far.

killakashhh#97

Why do Olivia's human fans act like Michaela mentioning Olivia wasn't game related/asked by production?

Sportsman180#98

I don't appreciate Michaela's aloofness/apathy when she's called out for not liking Olivia. Don't half-butt it, just say you don't like the lady, full stop!!!

Sportsman180#99

I cannot stop thinking about that Cedric flop. It was one of the most painful moments in recent reunion memory. How do you recover from the bro. He looked like a lost 3rd grader lol. Completely out of his depth on a social studies presentation or some shit lol. It was baaaaad bad.

Idk why she won't admit to it, especially since they're mad at her anyway.

That would be a fair criticism, but they swear Olivia is 100% innocent in the back and forth and that's what I don't like. She took it outside the show, which is fine, but they act like she never talked about her online.

I feel the fact that Michaela won't outright admit to not liking her gives a sense of disingenuousness to her arguments, thus giving Olivia more legitimacy. It's annoying! You can hate Olivia! We all do! She sucks!

well if she shows emotion like she did on survivor she would've been met with micro aggressions more so than she is now

Shockingly, I think Killah has a point.

I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't want to say it because the perception becomes worse, but they're eating you up regardless. I still think all her early confessionals were strictly game related so Olivia playing victim will never gel with me. And, maybe she didn't even hate her on a personal level, because even Olivia's comments about Michaela are often in response her game related confessionals. She barely said anything about Michaela saying she'd punch her. So if that's not an issue why is saying you have dumb strategy the kicker?

I actually think the way she talked about Theo was worse overall.

I think that's true...and sad. She doesn't wanna be painted as the ABW because the racists are so emboldened right now and would cause her IRL drama.

girl I always have points don't play me???

killakashhh#106

Like do yall remember how they did kam when she came for CT and even cara? Michaela probably doesn't want that burden so I don't blame her if she doesn't want to admit that she hates olivia (but girl it's okay olivia sucks lol)

Yeah, I think she should frame it as, "I hate Theo for all the bull fecal  he does and who he is as a person and Olivia is his annoying little Chihuahua." Which I think is true PLUS it disparages Olivia in a way she cannot really defend against lol.

Did Jake speak at all or?

entrepreneur#110

Did Jake speak at all or?

he had one moment at the end. Idk what he said but I like his hair

Sportsman180#111

Did Jake speak at all or?

Sydney said he was dumb and he went "...Huh?"

He's the worst casting of the season by far. Even worse than Ben. My decision is fiinal.

killakashhh#112

Jake is a sexy lad so I'll let him slide Wink

john somewhere deep down knows he's past his prime and is bitter lol. He's turning into the cranky old man when in the mirror he still sees himself as how he was on key west lol

He should have retired after Total Madness, maybe come back for 40 thats it.

queenjenna#115

Sportsman180#120
