I think it was actually John's toothbrush. Kenny and Evan were probably playing a joke on him.

I never watched Are You The One but is it true Devin won 750,000 on that show? Anyone know? I read it somewhere he had.

From what I understand, the entire cast splits that prize if they identify their perfect matches. They did, so I think all 20 people split the 750K equally, so Devin made 37.5K from AYTO 3 and another 12.5K from Rivals III. Not a bad year but not 750K level good, either

Ok thanks. When I read it I had hard time believing he won that much. The number you said makes more sense.

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.


I think politics is the last thing I would want to discuss with that group of nutjobs.

90% of the cast don't even know who Paula is...

I've said it before but anyone who hasn't watched Devin's AYTO season (season 3) should definitely do so if you want a little filler now that the challenge is off.

He starts out kind of slow, but by the middle of the show you can tell he "gets it" from a TV standpoint. He did some real dick stuff but some of his lines were literally laugh aloud funny. He manipulated and played games with this very ditsy/dumb hot chick named Kiki and everyone hated him… it was fantastic tv.

devin was so obviously going to be a great challenge cast member during his time on AYTO. he is funny, DGAF, and at least appears athletic enough to compete. really hope he sticks around.

the AYTO hate is still so fricking laughable. how are any of these people different than the real worlders? it's hilarious hearing people make up reasons why they shouldn't be on the show. also, AYTO is an awesome show that everyone should just watch in general. it's basically the challenge with less games/competition but more partying/hooking up.

I just think most people haven't watched the show. Yes, it's a dating show and that makes it way more pussified and doesn't have the tradition of Real World or Road Rules. Dario amd Devin have been legitimately good Challengers and personalities.

I think it's that people want to see cast members they are familiar with. A lot of the posters have watched old challenges and seasons of the Real World and wouldn't mind seeing Abram, CT, Alton, Zach, Cooke, Emily, Laurel, Jenn, or even Mark back.

I've never said anything against AYTO, but I was also underwhelmed with the Exes that were picked in the first batch. Simon is terrible, John wasn't the right fit, and I thought Brittany and Adam were forgettable. In the second season (Bloodlines), Christina was forgettable as well. That built up the AYTO hate. And then you had that massive pussy Brandon along with Nate this year on Rivals III. Devin was the first universally loved AYTO cast member, I think. And Nelson/Amanda are the only two that seem like they are physically competent.

Everyone got a kick out of Devin though. He's actually amusing, in a way that only a few Challengers are (Wes, Kenny, Miz).

Dario sucks man. He isn't good at all. I wouldn't be surprised to find out Johnny is a producer the way everything is given to him each season. Always has a solid partner, the final twist was done just for him to make more money. He is in on it.

Sarah has shite luck. Kicked off for bad partners a few times. Now this.

Johnny is only good now because of his terrible competition and they stack up the cast with his friends who keep him around. When he had competition he couldn't ever win. That's why he hated Wes so much because when Wes was big and in his prime he dominated. CT made him look like a baby bitch. He was nothing back then. The best challengers quit or got banned so now he has an easy path to the final.

John has had a contract with MTV for a few years now. I've seen him on Guy Code and a few commercials. There have been several guys who were physically better than him, or at least about even, but he is by far the best at manipulating people ever on this show. The new people are either too scared or too in awe of him to ever throw him in. I would like to see him get stuck with a shitty partner or even come up with some kind of Bananas vs everyone concept.

I know

I do think they've dropped the ball not bringing in any other Skeletons besides Tony though. Sylvia and Bruno would be interesting additions.

And I really hope they bring in Dionne, Ceejai, Racist Jenna, and Kailah from the past season. Dionne is going to be a bad competitor but is legitimately entertaining.

They have also totally shite on older competitors like Darrell and Lesbian Rachel who wanted to do challenges recently. You know they would have been great. Darrell would have worked John over so hard.

I'd love for Darell and Rachel to come back, Darell would straight kick the shite out of John, the problem is though those seasoned, classic vets like that demand bigger money and better partners. MTV can probably only afford a couple of those each season, guys like Wes and John and Abram.

You have to assume though the main audeince for The Challenge is all people late 20s -early 30s who grew up watching those great seasons of Real World and The Challenge 10+ yrs ago.

I think though if they did an all star edition enough people would watch to afford the cast.

Exactly. I went to grad school. Paid that shite off in 2 years. She won 125K like a year ago. She is just trying make it sound worst.

I'm hoping with this new MTV Classic channel they start showing old seasons of the Challenge. They are airing the first season of the Real World this weekend.

I like Devin. Thought he was a douche earlier but he grew on me. Funny how a lot of folks are bringing up how John is dominating in this era. He has a monopoly on this. He coasts every season.

One year I watched his first few challenges and he was so pathetic. No one liked him and he got voted off quickly. Then everyone started retiring and the new people are his bitcheS

On a side note, Simmons is putting out a podcast with John on Friday morning. Should be interesting. Simmons had him on a short FB live thing earlier and said how the reunion took 7 hours to film
