Who Should Have Returned? Challengers Who Retired After: Fresh Meat, Inferno 3 & The Duel

Thanks in part to CBS All Access, I’ve been watching older seasons of The Challenge. I recently did a list assessing Challengers who retired after The Gauntlet 2. Eleven people retired after that season, but only six retired after Fresh Meat, four after The Duel, and three after The Inferno 3. So, I’m taking all thirteen retirees and consolidating them into one list. Some of … Continue reading Who Should Have Returned? Challengers Who Retired After: Fresh Meat, Inferno 3 & The Duel

Mercenaries: Is the Twist Great?

It started on Cutthroat when Tina and CT showed up as “heady hitters,” taking Bananas and Theresa out in the process. Then, Zach and CT came in and took out Abe and his brother Mike on Bloodlines. Last season we lost Joss, Shane, Britni, and Veronica to the Mercenaries. This season, we may lose Faith & Angela to Ashley & Hunter as they emerged as … Continue reading Mercenaries: Is the Twist Great?

Ten Awkward Challenge Photos That Are Ten Years Old

The mid 00’s were a tough time for some of us. This post proves that The Challenge cast had some pretty rough moments. 1. Aneesa getting into a fight with Cara across The Gauntlet while looking like this. (The Gauntlet 2) 2. That time production couldn’t get Derrick a shirt with his name on it, so he had to be “not Abe.” (The Inferno 3) … Continue reading Ten Awkward Challenge Photos That Are Ten Years Old

Throwback: This Is What Rivals Would Have Looked Like 10 Years Ago

The Challenge is a very different show than it was 10 years ago, but one thing hasn’t changed: the drama. 10 years ago production easily could have assembled a cast of rivals, and this is likely what it would have looked like.

Guys CT & Adam– … Continue reading Throwback: This Is What Rivals Would Have Looked Like 10 Years Ago
