MTV's The Challenge

[brendasdeadbaby]

Imagine a world where the likes of CT, Johnny, Laurel, Cara Maria, Darrell and Jordan were amongst the first competitors eliminated. Don't tell me they wouldn't create something like a redemption house to give them a second chance to get back in. If they do some kind of early season purge and key personalities are involved I don't see how they wouldn't give them another crack to get back in the house.

PS outside of the cast leaks I've tried to remain spoiler free so if you know something please at very least put a spoiler tag on it.

There’s no redemption house.

Spoiler

first mission is like a purge except bottom 2 male and female from each era go straight into elimination. Top 2 from each era pick 2 people male and female from there own era to go against the losers so not really not a purge. People speculated there was a redemption house because Jordan joined the cast like 8 days after the rest of the cast landed in Vietnam and they had to wait for him to start filming

Kinda of a weird place I’m in with this show (and many others as well as myself feel the same) doesn’t matter how good casting is this season and for the most part all stars 5 besides a few, production finds a way to **** it up. may it be the format or editing out anything good because they believe it’s “americas 5th sport” and focus less on the drama that made the show. I want to be excited but I’m not. Probably watch a few episodes and then wait for it to end so I can stream it all in a weekend or over the holidays

Totally forgot that Alton's half brother was murdered when he was, like, 13. Out on a bike ride with a friend and Alton randomly stayed back at home. His brother and another friend were abducted and murdered (the crime was much more heinous so I won't list details). They finally found out the killer ten years later. Here's a clip of him talking to his mom about the investigation and trial.

Las Vegas is one of my favorite RW seasons.

Las Vegas is one of my favorite RW seasons.

It was a trainwreck of a cast, but if you take people like Trishelle and Bryn, from tiny towns, and put them in a Vegas hotel for almost five months, things are going to get weird. It was the season the RW flipped into something else. Also, one of my favorite seasons, and most pivotal in the show's history.

Again, the RW subreddit is a goldmine for old content. One user keeps uploading memorable clips from old seasons. They also upload related Challenge clips, as it isn't moderated as heavily as the Challenge sub. I like the RW sub more than the Challenge sub at this point.

I'm gonna have to visit that sub as the two Challenge subs are getting a bit old with the constant complaining about certain cast members.

I've been getting alerts about clips from the OG Las Vegas season and have been down a rabbit hole since.

 

[jayt1202]

Less than a month y'all. I just hope they don't go crazy with the twists.

Disappointing there's no Wes

I know I mentioned it before, but Alton's mom visiting was so wholesome. I never knew that Trishelle's mom had died when she was young (or, at least by the time she was on the show), and seeing such a loving, motherly figure made a huge impact on her. I know she doesn't have kids, and she's said in interviews it was a decision she made with her husband. They just want to live and enjoy life.

I have a mutual with Irulan, and when I tell you she still looks the same

Watched that clip.

She literally lit up the whole cast.

Was indeed one of the rare wholesome moments on The Real World.

This was from a reunion they had last year.

She's aged like fine wine.

When that OC theme song hits, and The OC didn't even air until a year later...

 

[T0INE]

Fun fact, Mikey is the dude that would eventually become Irulan's husband

 

[dmbrhs]

IIRC, Alton and Irulan were together on The Gauntlet. Not sure if they were living together, but they were after the season ended, all the way up to that Challenge season.

From this vid you can already tell Josh can be super annoying, even more than usual.

It's too late but these girls gotta leave they faces alone. Olivia don't even look real anymore

So, Brad revealed that Adam's first hit on CT in the Duel 2 fight wasn't just a punch/slap. He grabbed a can of soda and hit him in the face. That's why CT was already bleeding when he went after Adam and retaliated. CT didn't want to fight him. Adam instigated the whole thing, and it' why CT never talks about the fight. Very few people, if anybody, knew at the time knew his brother had been murdered right before the season, so he was on edge. He mentioned it in his first confessional on Rivals (which I remember). The broadcast version doesn't capture it very well, but if you watch the unedited replay, you can see Adam reach for something off the shelf.

CT was moving thru MULTIPLE strong men like they were Jr high boys tryin to hold him back.

Adam lucky to be alive.

 

[jayt1202]

Seeing the raw footage of this fight and the one with Brad and Darrell makes you realize how different the Challenge was back then. Nowadays security jumps in after a light shove. CT was a freight train back in those days.
