MTV loves to remind us that Dirty Thirty, Vendettas, and Final Reckoning are a trilogy. Though most of the connections between the three seasons seem forced, fans have accepted these three seasons as a cohesive unit. For this reason, I am going to be ranking every single cast member from these shows. My rankings will…
$500,000 is a lot of money to turn down, but many competitors claim they would split the money with their partner if given the choice. We all know Ashley wouldn’t share, but I truly believe many competitors would. If given the option to split or steal, here’s what I think each competitor would do. I’d…
This week, we saw Bananas compete against his new enemy Joss. While this was the main event, Tony and Sylvia also competed against each other. Both of these Real World Skeleton roommates had bad blood after Invasion, but it seems like there wasn’t a lot of anger when Sylvia eliminated Tony this season. This also…
October 15th is departure day! I will be updating this post as information become available. This information as official as official can be without MTV confirming it. In addition to cast spoilers, I will be including format and location spoilers when they become available. Location: Namibia Format: War of the Worlds: A Challenge alumni is…
The Challenge Jersey. It’s an underrated gem that changes every season. While some fans don’t care much about the jerseys, others seem to fantasize about their favorite competitor wearing their favorite colors. I’ll admit, I started out as one of the people in the earlier category. I thought the jerseys were cool, and a good…
There’s a special place in MTV’s history for the original Las Vegas Real World season. For many fans, this was the season that ruined The Real World. For others, this was the season that attracted them to the show. How did one season invite so many people to watch the show yet turns so many…
Ever since Invasion, Cara Maria has been able to bury her beef with Bananas and the vets and join forces with the old schoolers. On Vendettas and Final Reckoning, she was particularly close with Bananas and Zach throughout the game. Well, it seems like things have changed. Case 1: Zach While filming the CT Wedding…
For the first time in nearly 2 years we’re on a Challenge off-season. During this period I’d like to recap some of the older Challenge, Real World, and Road Rules seasons. I’m not going to summarize each episode of the season. Rather, I want to focus on seasons that shifted the direction of the shows.…
If you’ve watched a recent Challenge season and seen conversations online, you’ve seen the complaints. People are complaining the finals are too weak, there’s too much drama, and there isn’t enough competition. Well, that’s about to change. At least TJ thinks so. Earlier this week, TJ replied to fans who complained about the show has…
We’ve reached the end. The real end. After 22 weeks, Final Reckoning is officially over. Part 2 of the Final Reckoning Reunion was viewed by 671,000 people and received a rating of 0.40 in the 18-49 demographic. Not amazing, but still pretty solid for a reunion when you compare it to the rest of the…
As part of his gig as host on NBC’s First Look, Johnny Bananas had the opportunity to do something many Challengers would die to do: American Ninja Warrior. His experience competing has been uploaded to YouTube. I don’t want to spoil the outcome, but this is not a true trial run. He will not qualify…
After a long season filled with ups and downs, we’re entering the two-part reunion. The first half of the Reunion was watched by 686,000 people and received a rating of 0.45 in the 18-49 demographic. This is actually pretty good when compared to the rest of the season. Reunions are typically rated lower, but this…
