Every so often, we’re introduced to a newbie who seems perfect for The Challenge. Maybe they had an athletic past, seemed to be a political mastermind, or had muscles for days. Then, they got their Challenge jerseys and flopped. These are those people who may not have the ability to reach the potential I thought…
Ashley is finally at the mercy of the Stars. The Challenge: Crossfire– Four teammates are suspended over a stack of boxes. The other teammates must use medicine balls and slingshots to shoot down the stacks of boxes, making the suspended competitors from the opposing team fall. The Blue Team narrowly wins. The Elimination: Free Your Mind–…
This week we saw Wes face Devin in elimination and pull off a win, leaving him with a 5-0 record on Champs vs. Stars/Pros spin off series. Added to his 13-6 elimination record on the regular Challenge, and Wes has an impressive 19 wins with a total of 25 elimination appearances. This is record-making material,…
The Challenge began during simpler times. Years ago, competitors were able to The Challenge, have a good time, and make it to the end, and take home a little bit of their team’s bank. Now, The Challenge takes place in a much more cut throat setting where people are secluded from their outside life and…
Making a final is an impressive feat, in fact, it’s now enough to make you a Challenge “champ.” While some competitors are destined for Challenge glory, others have seen multiple finals and came up short of the victory multiple times. Then there are the people who have a good mix of Challenge wins along with…
Will people continue to watch now that Devin is gone? Episode 6 was viewed by 564,000 people with a rating of 0.32 in the 18-49 demographic. A small increase from last week, but overall this season hasn’t had great ratings.
While the Blue Team continues to be a dysfunctional mess, they have one saving grace: they’re really strong. Louise, Casper, Wes, Booby, and Ashley (when she tries) are among the best competitors on the show. The Red Team works well together, but their weakest players are dragging them down. Jozea was accused of being the…
With the promise of Blue Team drama brewing, did people tune in? Episode 5 was viewed by 509,000 people with a rating of 0.30 in the 18-49 demographic. This is a drop from last week, which was a drop from the week prior. Not the movement we’re looking for.
Ashley is back with a vengeance, but does it matter? It’s a guys elimination week. The Challenge: Jumbo Table Hockey– It’s like table hockey in the sense that sticks have a limited range of motion. Six players at a time. Blue team scores the only goal, making them the winner. The Elimination: Poppin’ Tags– Wes…
Last week, Louise used her MVP power to swap Tori onto the red team and take Ashley onto her blue team. Ashley is now in a really bad spot, being the only Champ girl on a team where Star outnumber the vets. Angered by this move, she has threatened to throw missions so the blue…
MTV has posted a Happy Mother’s Day video on their Instagram for the girls of Teen Mom 2, featuring Jemmye, Amanda, and Britni. While this video has nothing to do with The Challenge, it’s pretty clear it was filmed on the set of Final Reckoning. If you want to watch the video, check it out…
