Behind the Screen: MTV Protecting CT

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.

Damn crazy how CT punched 2 people which led to many challengers after telling production that if he's on that they wont be on to now CT being their golden boy and america's fave lol

Abram punched two people and they kept inviting him back as well.  It was all about the era when it happened.   I don't view CT as "a good guy" but I understand why he's liked.  I'd also be thrilled if he won the next 2 seasons so he passes John's win total.

It doesn't matter if the people he punched were weird tho. Everyone deserves safety. Also Davis was a BABY then, this was before he was a weird adult with a weird music career. Abram is a meathead too, but atleast he picked on guys that were the same size or bigger.

GO TO PRISON

lol people really are mad he's that much better than their favorites

Dad please. He's one of the best challengers ever but his behavior has always been problematic with production enabling it. It seems like has changed, or at least knows how to contain his homophobia on camera. Iykyk.

He beat up David that was a weirdoe and Adam that is a rapist

Who did Adam rape? Shut the entire shit up or keep that same energy for Plaintan

Allegedly KellyAnne and Jenn

Oh jeez, did they say this? I know they both admited on camera to doing something with him

I really think CT's looks have played a big part in him having such a huge fanbase. Because he behaved like a crazy hothead and an ******* and his fans see it as part of his hot bad boy image so he got passes. And also there is the Diem factor. "The bad boy with a soft spot for the good girl." They ate that up.

The YT hotheaded good-looking bad boy was definitely MTV's way of looking at CT and marketed him. It was successful cause the fans at that shit up.

He wouldn't have even had a story to tell bc they would've never cast him.

I have a lot to say on this particular subject lol I will when I have more free time.

Agree with this 

Flopnanas#72

How many seasons off was he given after the adam incident? If it happened now he would have been banned but back in the day they let many things slide.

3 including the season he was a mercenary

ILoveRW#76

Adam didnt even get a ban for fighting, he came back the next season when he arguably instigated the fight. And he is black since you guys always want to make everything about race.

Oh wow why did I feel like it was longer than that. It felt like he was off the show for yearsss for some reason. So basically he was given a 2 season ban like they do these days for almost killing someone yikes.

Forgot what kinda scum Ct was towards Dan renzi on inferno 2.  

100% a pattern.

Its wild to me how people idolize those two together, but I guess that took away any shock later when people did the same with Jenna and Zach. I know the cancer storyline was very touching, but the actual  relationship always felt extremely toxic to me. CTs intentions when pursuing her were questionable at best, and I guess I will never understand how so many people fall for it.

Darrell's a better example and he was back on FM2 after The Ruins.  It's just different today--right or wrong

Was about to say exactly this. Black or Latino and CT would have been cancelled years ago.

I'm not sure if your joking or not but this is pretty common knowledge

nearly killing someone and instigating a fight are two different things bozo and race is always a factor with this show and in life

Darrell almost killed Brad and literally no one cares at all.  You pick and choose to falsely claim race is a factor.

I also don't believe for a second people care that CT tried to kill Adam over a decade ago.

never commented on Darrell bozo #2 you just wanted a counter argument to why CT has been protected on this show for so many years + with that argument CT had many situations were he shouldn't have been back whereas D only had one and that situation was purely self defense and Brad deserved it
