The Challenge is a show whose roots extend back almost two decades. Throughout this time, competitions have come and gone but few have remained throughout the years. One recent exception to this is Veronica. She made her debut on Challenge 2000. Recently she remerged and appeared on all three seasons in the trilogy. Here is…
2019 brings a new start and new shows on MTV. This year, we know we’re going to get a new season of The Challenge and at least one season of a rebooted and revamped Real World. Here are some of my predictions for the upcoming year. These predictions pertain to The Challenge, The Real Word,…
Final Reckoning was the second consecutive season of The Challenge without a Real Worlder debuting on the show. Despite this, The Real World is still a huge presence on the show. With a new Real World season in the works, it seems possible that The Real World will remain a staple on The Challenge. Some…
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…
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…
Six prior Challenge champions have been spotted at Universal Studios filming a mini-special according to Vevmo. This special is likely akin to the prior Universal Specials we’ve seen in the past. One with Hunter, Leroy, Cara Maria, and Jemmye and one with Shane, Ashley K., Zach, and Laurel. For those who are unfamiliar, these specials…
When looking at turning points for The Challenge, I believe all three Gauntlet seasons marked changes in the series. The first Gauntlet was an interesting season that formed The Challenge into the show it is today. Today, I want to look at this season and discover why it has such an important role in transforming…
It’s been about a month without The Challenge, and fans are itching for a new season of the show. Anticipation can be a good thing, but it’s an unfamiliar feeling for Challenge fans. For the past few seasons we’ve had a spinoff to fill the void between seasons. Champs vs. Stars (originally Champs vs. Pros)…
We’ve seen Big Brother house guests invade The Challenge. Now it’s time for The Challenge to head over to Big Brother. Well, maybe. Various news outlets have been reporting that Johnny Bananas will be joining the Celebrity Big Brother cast. This is a big move for the Real World: Key West alumni and recent host…
The Real World is a show whose formula seemed mostly unchanged, at least for the first twenty-eight seasons. There have been some shifts in the direction in the show, but the late 00’s found the show getting somewhat stale. Thanks to the super-saturation of reality TV shows across cable networks, the Real World had a…
Many years ago, The Challenge was based around two shows: Real World and Road Rules. Though often forgotten by MTV, there are ways for fans to access Road Rules. With one exception: Maximum Velocity Tour. This is the one season that has been missing from the archives and has less information floating around the internet…
It wasn’t too long ago that Rivals 2 was gracing our TV screen. The blog even existed during the airing of that season, so it seems very recent to me. But it was actually five years ago, and it has been long enough to see the impact this season had on The Challenge. To fully…
