You're faulting the producers of an entertainment show for trying to make it entertaining?


this comment reminds me of some show my wife watches called unReal. basically its a behind the scene of a show like the bachelor and the producers are just fricking with the contestants and manipulating them the whole time.

from the moment sara and johnny were paired together the producers knew they would coast to the finale and probably had all this planned from the start.

I wish they wouldn't have tried to play up this revenge angle by Bananas though. Just man up and say no I kept the money because it's almost 300,000 freaking dollars. That's a lot of dough.

that it is...but if you follow sara or johnny on social media...Sara was boating to Catalina Island I believe this week, and Johnny is still with Hannah Teeter?

Both live great fun lives....don't let Sara's little sob story about grad school etc. mean anything..she's got enough money to do what she wants.

Johnny wants to be the GOAT of Challenge History...and that he will.

Especially with these gay little Are you the one kid's coming out....Really a damn shame MTV is allowing these kids to participate and ruin the show.


Zach probably had the most potential to be one of the best physical competitors in challenge history, but his social game is terrible.

Zach is not that good at things that aren't just brute strength. He isn't really that athletic/coordinated, and has no endurance.

I still think Leroy could be a strong competitor, as long as swimming isn't involved.

If the dude could stop getting hurt.

Was gonna say the same thing.

If MTV would just read this goddamn board and take our suggestions for the all-star challenge cast show, it would be gold.

And Bananas is good, and is probably the best Challenge cast member in the show's history. He always seems to have a target on his back, but also manages to mostly avoid getting sent in because his social game is on point. And on top of that, he's good at shite, so even when he does have to go in, or in competitions/challenges, he usually does pretty well.

I can hate on John all day long because of his personality, but you can't argue that he isn't really good at the challenges (in all aspects).

He already is and has been for a while. It's not really close. You can't deny his success at that shite.

I wish someone would have brought up the Paula deal last night. And I wonder how Paula reacted to the Johnny move

He already was before this show started taping, and he would still be the GOAT if he had split the money.

I was surprised by how little TJ reacted to it.

He is the goat because he is the only one to make The Challenge a full time job.

Zach played division 2 football and minor league arena football. I've always wondered why Marlon never came back. I don't remember him being that impressive on Rivals 2 but a former Big 12 linebacker should be able to hold his own.

I thought he played in the MAC. One of the directional Michigan schools?

It was a D-2 directional school, rather than the MAC schools like Central Michigan, but he I remember he had a good stat line. That's why I was shocked that CJ did better than him on the elimination on Seasons that was essentially a blocking drill.

John is obviously the most successful challenger of all time. This is mostly due to his longevity and the fact that he does this for a living. You look at guys like Alton and he got bored with this stuff pretty quickly and was really mailing it in on Seasons. Others seemed to like it a lot (Landon, the Miz) but they moved on to real jobs. Wes is halfway into this category as well.

John is also extremely lucky. He always has good partners (Frank, Sarah, Camilla, Roided up Tyler) and is peaking in an era where the best challengers make more money than ever. Also, even though they are his best friends, Kenny and Evan would be the top dogs in the house if they weren't banned. I am kind of amazed he wasn't involved in the toothbrush incident as that is actually far more in line with his sense of humor than the other two.

I am honestly shocked that Vince was as supportive as he was in the final. He didn't even hesitate to split the money with Jenna. Now Jenna was a great partner, but I didn't expect to say so many nice things about her and actually mean it 100%.

Sounds like the Reunion had some crazy scenes that were edited out.

This was written on the Vevmo thread by a moderator who attended the reunion.

quote:

Devin and Ashley argued. He told her "I don't need to beat you up more than that pussy already been beaten up."


Devin was this season's breakout star.

quote:

Vince stuck up for Bananas a lot when Devin and Sarah went at him. He said "How many people have helped Bananas to a final?" and Wes said "They're all on the banned list."




quote:

Sarah ran away crying and called Bananas out for cheating on his girlfriend and revealed that he took adderal for the "Up All Night" mission.


I would love to see his face when anyone brings up Hannah Teeter.

quote:

Ashley M. was hilarious at the reunion because she was super hammered and kept flashing.

Oh, one more thing. Sarah called out John for being a Trump supporter but not admitting it in front of the many Hispanic and black cast members.

All of that is awesome.

And I 100% agree about the toothbrush incident. That reeks of Bananas all day long.

They should have had Paula come in live via Skype or something.
