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.

Im guessing they'll do double tribals now after the swap next week. So ideally two men leave as long as it isn't Q...

Can't even give Stephanie airtime. Genieve is lucky as fruitfly...

Im guessing they'll do double tribals now after the swap next week. So ideally two men leave as long as it isn't Q. For the women, I only want Aubrey or steph gone. But I fear it will be Dee and any of cirie chrissy or Angelina.

Imagine instead of the 16 final 4 girls... we get a final 4 nerd off with Christian Rick Charlie and Mike.

I never watched christian season but god damn i never thought i'd find someone more unbearable than rick devens

Best season in years.  Has a similar vibe to the late 20s/early 30s

*Savannah needs to play again on the next returnee season.  She was the last person I wanted to be voted off from that tribe.

*Someone needs to punch Rick in his stupid face.

*Rizzo is a challenge embarrassment

He wasn't this bad in 37. The issue is now that he's a returnee he knows what shtick gets airtime.

You should, his season was easily the best season of all the 30s and 40s and generally considered a top 10 season.

You're a major Survivor fan and have never watched David vs. Goliath? Holy fecal. Get on that.

It's a Top 3 for me.

in that time i was challenge heavy so i actually was seeing that instead. I missed 37 but actually saw edge of extinction right after i think bc kelly wentworth returned. Then I missed 39. But starting from winners at war i haven't missed a season live since. I'm the kind of person that once a season has aired I don't care to waste 12 hours of my life binging something

37 is insanely bingeable. It's so great the whole damn time. I cannot recommend it enough.

i loved cagayan and san juan del sur... then i fell off and completely missed all of the 30's season outside of edge of extinction lol. So christian season is the only one from the 30's i should attempt to rewatch one day or is there another?

JustQR#1905

I dont think 37 has a single bad episode. Story beat after story beat. Only thing that puts it under 28 is the winner.

IMO 28 Cagayan and 37 David vs. Goliath are the only 10/10 seasons post Heroes vs Villains.

30 sucks, it's a mean and ugly season with mostly awful people.

31 is a fun returnee season but I think it would be less enjoyable if you don't know all the characters because it's way highly strategic centric, not character centric.

32 is a great season, watch it. IMO, it's an 8.5/10 season.

33 is polarizing in the fanbase, but I really like it. I think it's a 7.5/10 season. Most fans argue it's between a 4 and an 8.

34 is dogfecal. It's half favorites, half shit producer picks. And the producer picks mostly win.

35 is pretty good until the last 2 episodes.

36 is horrific. One of the most awful, boring seasons ever. This is the cast that got Lynne Spillman, their casting director, fired!

37 is a banger. Great from beginning to end.

38's blah. So blah.

39 has a very fun pre-merge and then is completely derailed by sexual harrassment behavior by a creep who is then enabled by other creeps who use his behavior to their advantage. It's nigh unwatchable. This season would've gotten a more unpopular show cancelled.

Jenn brown was an absolute queen on 30, we need her hate everyone energy back

Her quitting cause her friends were voted out kinda ruined her legacy or I think she would have returned. But I don't blame her I would also quit to be with The Hali Ford in ponderosa.

OS Kajun#1909

37 was great. Kara Kay is the greatest player of all time tbh.

Flopnanas#1910

savannah for challenge 43 or the traitors!

 I do hope 50 was so unsatisfying for her that she'll want to do at least one season of The Challenge. Her personality fits The Challenge way more than the Kumbaya/Nerd New Era Survivor.

What is your complaint with 50?

Of course the cast could have been better.....but it is a fun season, everyone is playing hard...editing is better

Its definitely the best in years..... it seems most fans are enjoying it

KChallenge10#1914

I just watched Christians season for the first time and he's exactly how he was on that season. His personality just lends better as an underdog. People hate the nerds when they have power for some reason lol

its a bunch of nerds fighting for airtime by playing caricatures of themselves. Male dominated. Focusing on the wrong ppl. Terrible boot order. Billy Ellish is cringe. Probst sucks. Lied about the votes. Boring tribals with easy votes.

He definitely is trying way too hard to play it up for the cameras.

Nerd alliance is only getting airtime because that tribe keeps losing.

Jeff sucks....we know this.  Billy Eyelash is cringe....but the name of the advantage has zero impact

Coach Vs Oxzy - fantastic

Q = fantastic

You are just being a hater lol

Who we really need to have smoke for is Charlie still don't know wtf he's doing there. Thought the same for Joe but at least he's doing something

I hate Charlie but he had the most likes when the cast was released.
