Behind the Screen: The Real World: Go Big Or Go Home - Ratings

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.

Back when real world was big and MTV was actually popular.Doubt Bruno would agree to do it.

Pretty sure they're contractually obligated to do a reunion if the producers want them to. Obviously the producers don't often FORCE people too - see Jonna (never does Challenge reunions cause she hates them), and I'm blanking out but there are other people who have declined a reunion before. If production wanted him though it's probably in the contract.(Side note - pretty sure you're contractually obligated to do a Challenge for at least seven years after your season if they demand you to. Obviously they've never DEMANDED anyone to and instead ask politely, but that was always interesting. I remember reading Arielle negotiated that part out of her contract.)

I think it depends bad girls club have the same contract and there has been atleast one person since season 10 that have missed the reunion.I would assume the same for real world that they wouldnt actually force anyone, but who knows. Didnt Greg from Hollywood missed the reunion? Or he was never invited?As far as the challenge didnt they almost force I think her name is Kendall from Road Rules to be a replacement, but they Didnt went through it. I remember Molds told me about it and she told me it was on the old threads too.

The thing with Kendal is that she was broke and needed money so she asked fans to send in letters/emails to BMP to ask her for another Challenge and she ended up being an alternate for The Island... but the weird thing is she was not actually available to film because she had a child at that point I think... but they ended up paying her anyway? I don't know, that whole situation was weird. And I think Greg actually wasn't invited to the reunion, maybe he was the one I was thinking of

Thats really interesting that BMP/MTV paid her.

Is it possible they'll do a big reunion consisting of Skeletons & this season?

Doubt it! Skeletons is old news for production at this point.

I'll wait for them to say that.

She must not really want to do Challenges at all. Lmaoo.

good because she's hot but lame.

Interesting. BGC pulled slightly better numbers than GO BIG.

BGC- .579 (0.3)

RW:GBOGH - .551 (0.3)

This might be the season where the twist doesn't pan out. They went the Road Rules challenges route and so far they have kind of gotten burned. I think the season started out with a strong episode though. Hopefully ratings pick up.

LucciVee#50

I think the viewers are just not feeling the twist, it's no skeleton/ex so at this point it's nothing to anticipate. 

Nostalgic#51
I think the viewers are just not feeling the real world. 

fixed.

badladjj#52

Let me know when Challenge 29 starts. That's when I'll make my return to MTV lol 

WittyWrath#53

The theme isn't bad but the twists seem mediocre like they went from jumping out a hot air balloon to dressing in drag.

WittyWrath#54

I think seven roommates each representing one of the seven deadly sins would have been a better way to return to Vegas.

Definitely. That's what I thought it was going to be.

HonestTea101#58

I'm confused as to what the theme acutally symbolizes? Like go big or go home so why arent they facing their fears instead of just doing random shit?

Nostalgic#59

That would've been awful. Had they done it the second time they went there sure but for this season it just wouldn't work.

You do know its just after the second week right? Season is not halfway finished yet.

hardbitten#61

Yeah, its not an awful season. What might have made it awful would have been not being introduced to CeeJai/Jenna/Chris. Dean/Kailah ain't bad either, but I would have been fine without Dione/Sabrina tbh.

Missions should have been done better too. That's what should have been worked on.
