Behind the Screen: Survivor 50

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.

Why are people speculating 20 contestants. They can't fit that into 26 days most likely...

Im cool with older people on obviously I just don't know them but those would be my new era reps which we will likely see a lot of. Fans of shows that hate on new era on shows are so lame lol

Jeff has ruined the concept of the show and turned it into a new, silly game. Plus we are in a weird era in life where all the shows we grew up loving are boring and family feud. Social media has also ruined the way people play these shows so it's not us just hating cause it's a "new era". The quality just isn't as good which is facts.

Flopnanas#199

There are only 9 male and 9 female spots to choose from out of 48 seasons.... So its not suprising jesse isnt a lock.

OS Kajun#200

Omar is probably on this, forgot about him.

Flopnanas#201

Omar is probably on this, forgot about him.

if they dropped jesse omar def isn't on... Also the show prob still hold grudges after the whole omar and drea fiasco on pondersosa that he discussed on a podcast. I would be shocked if he was on.

FromTheNorth#202

Cutting Jesse is crazy. Good news about Carolyn though, at least her hogging the screen on traitors got her cut from this even though Probst is on a massive power trip about people doing other shows

OS Kajun#203

I can also see Brice being on this.

mariochristopher__#204

when does this film?

Nonja#205

Jesse is probably one of the  most boring and monotone people on this show ever. A total gamebot with no personality that, in reality, played the game terribly. Yes he did a flashy move. Was it a good one? No.

timster3#206

I don't remember what he did but him and Rick devens were competing for the same spot. 

Flopnanas#207

when does this film?

early summer of this year and then it airs next year 

Flopnanas#208

I don't remember what he did but him and Rick devens were competing for the same spot. 

one's white and the other is latino so no they aren't 

OS Kajun#209

And they are nothing alike.

Sportsman180#210

ALL THESE HOITY TOITY NEW ERA PEOPLE THAT GOT CUT.

LOL OH WELL, SHOULDA JUMPED TO THE CHALLENGE WHEN YA COULDA....

He played the game hard and was strategic which is more than you can say from most past players. I liked him even though he wasn't all that charismatic and kiking and cackling in his confessionals or on the island.  To me it's ok to have different types of players as long as they play the game.
