Behind the Screen: Survivor: Island of the Idols - Suck It Up Buttercup

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 Aaron is going to sell Missy or Elena down the river as payback for Ronnie vote huh...

Hoping Kelle, Karishma, Noura and Dean is safe and Missy, Elena, Elizabeth and Jason is save.

This season has been super good so far. FInally seeing Lairo win one and then them having to figure out 4-4, but the shocking "Block a Vote" thing. 

Top episode for sure even though it's not over.

Yep, awesome episode. And tribal is wide open, even though Lauren just got some bad content that might be an indicator of getting the boot.

Damn.. that was a tribal for the books. Amazing.

I thought for sure Aaron was about to be one of those people that turned on his own too soon. Thank god he proved me wrong!

Should have been Dan.

Should have been Dan.

I actually agree with this.

Dean looks just like Tony Raines omg.

I really thought Aaron was going to **** it up. lol I got annoyed at the original Vokai members. Like you guys got too confident that shit was going to go your way and you were blindsided.******* up buttercups!

JustQR#16

Glad Jason left. Tired of socially awkward nerd superfans archetype 

JustQR#17

I think Jack might win. Tonight's episode had a lesson in white privilege. I think it foreshadows Jack beating POC in the finale.... 

I've never seen someone make a prejudice comment but still get edited to look good from it..

LucciVee#18

Jamal, Tommy & Elaine has been getting great edits this whole season so I'm sure they all make merge and go deep. Jack got some camera time tonight but I'm not sure what that can foreshadow since the editors love to foreshadow and throw hints.

Favorites so far are Jamal, Aaron, and Tommy. 

There's honestly no females that standout to me. TBH most of them come off as arrogant.

Challenge 17#20

This is my favorite female cast in a long time 

flyguy#21

Aaron really screwed himself too. Im hoping all the females at merge link up

Morris1721#22

This is my favorite female cast in a long time

I think the episode was pretty good, but strangely edited to make Aaron look super dumb. Idk why he even got up in the first place to whisper to the people he was about to vote against. It just made himself look more of a betrayer.

Aaron is annoying

Gotta make jason, tommy, dan and lauren feel you are with them to prevent an idol play i guess was his logic.

Bacchus#26

I totally got tricked by the edit. Thought Elaine was a goner. Especially after all the whispering right before the vote.

Funny thing is, Elaine wasn’t going regardless. If she didn’t have the vote blocker, the votes would’ve been 1 vote on Elaine, 3 on Jason, 4 on Aaron.

Dan, Jason, Tommy, and Lauren were blindsiding Aaron until Elaine used her advantage.
