re: MTV The Challenge: Total Madness

While it was a puzzle, Bananas defeated CT in the final Free Agents elimination.

Kyle’s win on War of the Worlds against CT was fluky and not 1v1.

The reason I say Jodi had the most dominant season ever is because she won 7 daily challenges which I think is the most ever in an individual or duo season

Its hard to judge Svetlana she only did 1 season. I would say compared to other individual challenge seasons that season was above average competition-wise because it only had 1 real layup.

Casey may be the worst challenge competitor ever. Even the one off people that got sent home early on shows and never came back are probably not as terrible as she was.

I agree.

And Wes was absolutely at his best in his 1st two seasons.

Also Cory, CT and Kyle get a lot of credit as challenge ladies man but Leroy has the best "hit list" with Nia, Theresa, Kam and Nany

Just finished watching the dirty 30 Final which I had seen before but didnt remember how dominant Camila was, she won even with the 5 minute penalty and with having slept outside. When I was doing the all star teams I feel like she didn't get the respect she deserves as a competitor(me included)

Also I noticed something weird on episode 8 of Dirty 30 they play trivia and one of the questions is how many players left have made a final I think its CT who has to answer and he says 8 TJ says wrong answer and says 11 but the players left are

CT*
Jordan*
Bananas*
Derrick K*
Nelson*
Leroy*
Dario
Hunter
Tony
Camila*
Cara*
Jenna*
Veronica*
Brittini
Tori
Jemmye
Nicole(Nanys Cousin)
Kailah

Thats 10??????

Cory*, Anessa* and Marie were in the redemption house so if they're included that would make 12. How could the answer be 11? Was it a mistake by TJ or production?

I've read similar conspiracy theories about John getting the win, but I don't know if any cast member or anyone reliable had actually confirmed this.

Would I put it past production to change the rules on the spot? Absolutely not. But doesn't TJ tell them on the first episode how much they'll win? If they renegged on the deal, someone in the cast or would have key that out, right?

Maybe I missed it. Maybe they're too scared to say anything. I don't know. Apparently lots of people on other forums hate John and think he weilds some kind of super powers with the show. He basically said recently that he has zero input into the show's production at all.

For anyone who wants to know, Landon is going to be in this guy 's podcast tomorrow. LINK

The Podcaster is not that good and I think he's just a college kid in NJ, but he's had numerous fan favorite Challengers on his show. The Landon one ought to be interesting. I don't expect him to divulge a lot of the same stuff like Kenny did recently, but he probably could have been the best ever if he'd stick with the show.

I think he was only on like 3 or 4 shows and won all but one.

Just finished Fresh Meat 1, which was Theo's last season on the Challenge.

This was his last appearance ever on the reunion show. What a fricking legend.



His best line of the night, when talking about Kenny and the final where he had to lug 100 lbs of sandbags over a 10 mile trek:

"Well, he was also carrying the huge weight of being in the closet."

The entire crowd eruoted into laughter. This was 2006. I really miss the ore-Twitter world... Today, MTV would kick him off for life.

I would love to see a final with Landon, Turbo, Theo and Darrell

The Landon podcast is pretty insightful, but his connection goes to shite during some of the best parts.

He talked about how Evan, Brad and Mark all had a deal on Duel 2 for Evan to win, then he would kick back parts of his winnings to the other two because he apparently didn't have to pay taxes on the money in Canada.

Landon also really seems to hate CT and really criticized MTV for allowing him to keep coming back. He said CT was clearly an "unstable" person and that he was not comfortable staying in the same house as him and that Bunim/Murray should have never put him in situations where drugs and alcohol were present all the time. Landon went to the hospital with Adam on Duel 2 and said CT was at the same facility and he started wondering if MTV really cared about his safety or not.

He also said CT was not a good athlete, but that he was a good mtv "character."

He said he's been called to come back on the show a lot over the years and even wanted to, but his career is just too important and too lucrative to take a 6 week break with no phones or email. He also said he's glad he doesn't get recognized much anymore and that he doesn't want to go back to that when he goes in public.

It's an interesting listen. Landon's one of the only genuine, nice people to ever succeed on that show. He's still looks almost exactly the same. He also said that Kenny is full of shite.kenny claimed he whipped Landon in a wrestling match and Landon said he doesn't even remember anything of the sort and that he always "kept his distance" from Kenny in the house. Said he was a really cool guy outside the house, but as soon as the cameras came on, he and many others were completely different people.

Jenny said herself that TJ told them on day 1 of the that there would be two winners.
