Behind the Screen: Survivor 41 - Episode Discussion

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.

Shes 20, emotional, and tall so I want her on the challenge, idcShe just doesn't give me Challenge vibes. She's kind of boring and nerdy...

Shes 20, emotional, and tall so I want her on the challenge, idc 

She just doesn't give me Challenge vibes. She's kind of boring and nerdy. The Challenge needs fun, charismatic but dramatic personalities again. Sydney would be perfect. 

guess what? I want boffum because like I said in the other thread, there needs to be balance. 

Also idc if someone is "boring or nerdy. Jillian and Frank were boring and nerdy and look at their story on G3 lmao

She is wayyy better than these whack rookie internationals and half the vets. Plus, we see a different side of them when they are on MTV than CBS. So I wouldn't hate seeing her get a chance but she would definitely wouldn't be on my first list of calls.

anon12423452355...#754

She does remind me of Fresh Meat 2 Jillian who I wasn't a fan of.

How old is Shan? She's thin but she would be great for the challenge. I could tell she wanted to go off sometimes but would hold back lol 

Liana, Shan and Sydney for the challenge and that's it. I wouldn't even mind Desean I could see him ending up in drama because of his personality.

Shan is 34. It's interesting that none of the Spies, Lies and Allies rookies were born before the 1990s and Amber, Kaycee, Nany, CT, Aneesa and Ashley are the only cast members who were born in the 1980s. I'm not sure if they're making a conscious effort to cast younger rookies though because Parvati was apparently called recently.

Shan and xander are probably on mtv's challenge radar top list. Everyone else is not going to get on.

DeSean would be so bad lol Josh could beat him.

As for shan shes a 34 year old pastor, not exactly challenge material

They've called Julia Carter and Michelle s, I'd say the radar is larger than you think

being called and actually being on are two very different things.

She was messy as hell and entertaining on survivor which is what the challenge needs desperately to save this sinking spies lies and allies ship.

Michelle s was an alternate on location. Amber b got on after 5 years off tv, they could cast almost anyone on this cast under 40, for all we know next season has JD and ricard.

For what, the 1 episode she would last? I like shan but I'd much rather see her as a returning player on survivor than someone on the challenge

You never know she can last longer than an episode. Theres been many people who yall thought would be the first boot who lasted longer and who cares if she leaves first, michaela left first and most of vevmo want her back. Also survivor barely has many returning seasons and her shtick has already been shown whos to say she wont be an early boot on survivor next time... at least on the challenge theres more chances to return.

Michelle s was dropped so she doesnt count and amber was actually entertaining and a big part of her big brother seaosn until she left. Im just saying the obvious picks would be xander and shan.

Anybody from this season would be a giant casting mistake, too many better past options like Natalie Cole from DvG to still debut

around Aneesa and CTs age! 

Challenge 17#769

Missy is the perfect casting choice for the challenge tbh. Athletic, a complete ruthless *****, and a lesbian.  But they are probably too scared to cast her because of fan backlash

she shouldnt return as didnt she use someone elses sexual assault as a strategy. Im shocked they even cast tommy from that awful season. Lauren deserves another shot though.

chefsaucy#771

Lmao I feel like DeSean would be like the male version of Marie so I'm here for it 

How old is Shan? She's thin but she would be great for the challenge. I could tell she wanted to go off sometimes but would hold back lol

Shan in 34, a christian, and struggle with drug abuse I think early in life.

She will NEVER be on the challenge nor should seh enter that toxic enviorment  

timster3#773

Shan is a disease I forgot what it's called. Something fibrosis and needed to take 8 rounds of chemo before going on Survivor. Watch her ponderosa she ain't going on the challenge.

Multiple Sclerosis lol

Seasons_Alive#775

Y'all arguing over who's too boring or not Challenge worthy, when Big Brother 16 aired I GUARANTEE nobody, not one human on earth, would have thought Amber B would ever be on the a Challenge and a champion lol. 

anon12423452355...#776

Exactly. They put who they want, not who is good casting.

Seasons_Alive#777

Exactly, and having connections/friends with the right people helps a bunch. Like c'mon, out of all the Survivor girls they had Michelle Schubert as an alternate this season (I love her but there's tons of options and she's so random).

Which is exactly what I said 

Wavemoon#779

If I watched BB16 the only one I'd cast is Amber so I actually agree with them on that one

And Victoria.
