Behind the Screen: Most Impressive Moments from The Challenge

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.

When you say Tree Trunk do you mean the Punching Bag in the Final. Or am I missing something...

Cohutta beating Wes was impressive on The Ruins because before that, Wes was 8-0 in eliminations. I was not expecting Cohutta to beat him at all...

When reading the thread title, ruthie on sexes 1 came to mind. Also roni on the gauntlet. At the beginning of the series, she was receiving votes, and towards the end she was seen as a valuable team player. How clutch Veronica also amazes me.  All the times were *** won on the line, she gets out of it, by manipulation or winning a life shield. 

Roni would have been an easy target as well...she was impressive.  Especially beating Mike head to head

Most Immpresive moments of the Challenge?

Well one of them , IMO, is Queen Evelyn on The Island. She was part of the minority and the alliance with "power" wanted her gone and even set her up against two guys so that she can lose, but she fought against all odds, beating 4 people including 2 guys in the process (one of them twice), made it all the way to the final and actually WON the whole thing. It was really great to watch.

Brad. Altho I think he is really disgusting and creepy, do not like him at all. He have send home two best guys the challenge have ever seen. First (and probably last) person who send home Landon. And we all know about CT.
Both times making into finale in Duel what people consider hard challenge.

I can not believe this irrelevant guy have done so much.

when katie beat david on Inferno 1 with that vile tub of messes lol

i also remember seeing on one of those specials that people shouldnt look at the times on screen because theyre usually wrong. Like in the final mission in the inferno, the times between katie and veronica on screen were like a minute or 2 apart, but supposedly in reality it was only a few seconds

I don't give Brad any credit for "beating" CT because he got ******* had by CT in that duel. CT was DQ'd giving Brad the win by default, so Brad should receive no credit for that "win".

Lmao, love how you worded that.

So true though, Brad should get no credit for that, he got completely rocked by CT and had zero chance there. Yeah, CT was a stupid ******* and DQed but it was just his mentality and so many things firing through his brain. Horrible mistake but I can see with adrenaline and not thinking clearly causing it.

Yeah Brad did not beat CT at all. He won off a stupid technicality .

Real World beating Road Rules on BOTS. Road Rules were so much better on paper, but man they were a hot mess.

That was a great moment. I love how Holly was the only RR person that did not want to split her money with a RW person (Coral) because she thought RR was gonna win the final mission but Coral ended up winning and the most money haha #karma

Ugh Chadwick and Holly were the worst. Poor Theo and Piggy having to be stuck with them.

I haven't seen her RR season so I can't comment, but I loved her on BOTS.

i hated them for getting rid of veronica and yes, two of my favorite castmembers

Wes winning The Duel with the most loaded male cast of any challenge.

Svetlana making it to the end of The Duel as a rookie, eliminating 3 seasoned veterans, and that was a loaded female cast also.

Wes making it to the final on Fresh Meat. He was targetted that entire game and made it further than some of the best key players at that time.

Even though he lost, CJ annhilating Zach was very impressive.

Cara Maria beating Nia on Free Agents.

Jordan & Marlon's beating Leroy & Ty on Rivals II.

Cohutta beating Wes on The Ruins.

Those are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head for now.

Jonna and Jasmine destroying cocky *** Sarah at what she's "best" at, the puzzle in Rivals 1 which Katelynn claimed she could do it in her sleep, and Sarah talking shit on Jonna saying she could beat her at most things. Also Sarah during an interview before the jungle saying "If I win, sorry, WHEN I win" I hated Sarah that season.

This. Sarah is so overrated as a "puzzle/trivia queen"

If I had to choose one person's overall performance on a season that I would crown the absolute best, it would be Jodi on the Duel. Crushing almost every mission, winning half of them, winning the final, ridiculous about of things to be proud of on that season.

I just remembered how terrible the Duel episode titles were, and I had to look them up.

"Goodbye Tina and Tyler"

"Paula vs. Aneesa"

"GoodBye Casey"

"Until Next Time, Derrick"

Yeah those were shocking episodes..
