Behind the Screen: Survivor: San Juan del Sur - Method to This Madness

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.

Prediction for tonight: Rocker makes an *** of himself; Baylor makes me laugh; someone gets voted off...

I think they're required to wear clothes matching their tribe colors.

Well the fishing gear is useless if they can't cook the fish.
They need to vote out the twinnie to put her out of her misery.

I kind of like Natalie by herself, IMO she is not as annoying as Nadiya

Challenge 17#11

These match ups were great. Poor missy, you knew she wasn't going to fight back after Baylor's sad face

As a parent I'd still go for the win.  Probably a guy-girl thing

It is weird but I couldn't care less who gets voted out right now.  I think strategy is out the window after the first vote.  We'll see what dumb decision is made tonight.

I really hope John Rocker goes home this week. He's the biggest guy there, but is not like he has helped them win any challenges. He lost to a guy shorter and thinner than him. 

Challenge 17#17

So dale didn't find the idol!

kvm1977#18

If Baylor goes home she deserves it after her vote last week

This is messy.

Honestly, they'd be stupid to vote him off yet considering they don't know he has the idol.  Too early to get rid of him.

Well Jon was a d1 football player so he knows how to knock someone down

Okay why does John think she has two idols?

Jon  who?

Rocker was a pitcher not a football player

If there's a second "Jon" then I'm lost already--haha

She said she has 2--to save her and Jaclyn

Hahaha Val, the tribe has spoken. I wanted to like her, but if you mess with my baby Baylor, you mess with me lol. I was literally ******* my pants on that tribal council. It's funny how almost everyone were predicting her to make it very far. 

anon4981298798#27

Well... That sucked!

I know, the guy who beat him played football at Michigan state he is also named Jon.

John Rocker is such a moron, Val said she had two idols, he finds one idol and he still believes her. There's no way there are three idols
