He finished second to Yes in All Stars S1. He’s definitely well past his prime, but I don’t blame him for gassing out in that elimination against a super fit Jordan. I hope he comes back for another season or two.
Yeah. Jordan is an endurance monster...he lasted almost an hour in that thing before his legs gave out ...it wasn't an effort to be ashamed about.
[MTV] - The Challenge: Untold History, explores the MTV program's conception, evolution and legacy, all while enlisting competitors, producers, media analysts, and famous fans to reveal the true story (sound familiar?) of the greatest competition series on television. A first look will be unveiled during the 2022 MTV Movie & TV Awards, airing on June 5. What. A. Tease! Known for its ability to reinvent the wheel and heighten the competition season after season, Challenge icons -- including Wes Bergmann, Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio, Aneesa Ferreria, Mark Long, Chris "CT" Tamburello, Darrell Taylor, Laurel Stuckey and Kam Williams -- will return to share behind-the-scenes stories from their extraordinary time competing in "America's fifth major sport." Kim Kardashian, Vernon Davis, and Lindsey Jacobellis will also be featured.
I appreciate them trying to come up with new elimination games but last nights was dumb. Happy with who won them though.
I have never ever thought much of him. And then in that particular contest. Then Tj got me with the ladies.
Spoiler Seems like w All Stars - when there’s a relatively close match up, take the younger one without kids. Has more time to stay fit. Good fake out w the women.
Love the format of this final so far. Lots of mixing up partners and types of challenges and transparency with how the points are working
Obviously cast is a big part of it (and that they're not stretching this to be hour and a half episodes every week), but All Stars is so much better than the main show at this point.
My only complaint, which is a very small one is there's no messy drama laugh and ridicule. The stuff they find to get worked up about is pretty lame.
Got the outcome I was hoping for in the final for All-Stars. Note: We should come to a consensus on how to treat the shows that just stream. I say treat them like ones on regular tv and feel free to not worry about spoiling anyone once it's aired/available (e.g., don't come into the thread until you've viewed). Or could do a 24 hour moratorium. Big Brother and Challenge USA start tonight.
Please let me know if I should watch. Was kinda hoping for Kellyanne to win for the girls but happy for Jonna. Wes beasted.
I wasn’t going to watch since the only show of that group I watch is survivor. After reading that cast - there’s a lot of good survivor people. I’ll say Tyson or Danny will win. Unless they get voted out early because they’re threats.
Enzo is very likable Tyson was a beast at one point and can be absolutely hilarious, but the last time he was on Survivor, he was pretty boring.
Tyson had a survivor podcast that he took a hiatus from in the middle of the season. They never said why. I wonder if it was to film for this.
The algorithm is a nice twist...Tyson and Angela were going to be hard to beat as a pair and the Big Brother #s were(are) going to be hard to beat, but this will at least force them to work with people they wouldn't have otherwise Was really surprised we didn't have anyone really freaked out by heights.
I really enjoyed it. I binged Survivor and BB over the pandemic though after never watching them before, so I knew a lot of the people already. But the format is good and there are some solid "characters" for entertainment value.
Despite only knowing 25% of the cast, IM enjoying the CBS Challenge so far. Tyson's podcast is a great btw.
Agree on both points. Production has done a good job of swerving us on the noms and then showing "what happened" afterwards as well. I don't want them to do that every time, but I'm glad they started that way.
I haven’t watched any of the feeder shows. I think it’s pretty good. They show 100% of the dailies and almost no politicizing, which I’m not a huge fan of. It’s a pretty quick turn to the elimination after the daily and then they show the politics via short flashbacks for like 30 seconds (thus far). It’s the challenge, so I’ll watch it. But I’m not super into it at this point (mainly because I know nobody).
I watch every show but Love Island, so I’m pretty familiar with the cast. So far the challengers seem decent, though the challenges seem more like what the MTV folks did 10 years ago, so we’ll see if they ramp it up as the season goes on. I also wonder if some of these players will be folded into the MTV version. Someone like Angela would be an absolute force on the main show.
Tyson: Some of these people bragged about biking 12 miles. Thats nothing. That's a warm up Alyssa: Uh.. that was me
We all know the algo is bullshit, but they just said fuck it we’re blatantly lying through it to set up the Sarah/Tyson stuff. Dom and Ben could have swapped and had a mathematical fit.
It wasn't truly searching for all possible combinations. It was searching for a good random pair, locking that pair in. Then searching for the next pair, locking that in, etc. So that the people already locked in weren't eligible to be matched.
