MTV's The Challenge

[jayt1202]

Not a huge fan of the final 4 teams either but guess I'll root for Theo-Adrienne. Though like was said I don't know if they have the endurance for the final. I also really dislike when they continue a twist into the finals like the season they let them change partners and then it appears Theo or Olivia could "stake a claim" to be partnered up.

It also gets old when they forcefully shoehorn these phrases throughout a season (I.E. "my vendetta" "playing a dirty game" "double agent" etc.).

WHAT. A. COMEBACK!

So glad Sydney lost. Can't stand her. Super overrated.

 

[CP1708]

"I am the MVP"

*gets passed*

 

[dmbrhs]

It's utterly insane that Olivia was pregnant during that. Great comeback. Yeremi is just a beast and wouldn't let her quit. Olivia did just have her baby, so doubt we'll see her anytime soon.

Oh joy, we get a all new batch of I'm doing this for my kids diary sessions.

 

[T0INE]

WHAT. A. COMEBACK!

So glad Sydney lost. Can't stand her. Super overrated.

EYE doezed off midway through the finale with Turbo/Sydney firmly in the lead woke byke up at the end to see Yeremi/Olivia won?

Gotta watch a replay.

 

[CP1708]

They were dead last goin up the mountain, and won.

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

There was a challenge early in the season where Yeremi jumped off something into the water. **** was insane, I knew he'd be a problem.

 

[nike4kja05]

After losing connect 4 three times in a row, id be so demoralized but damn they clutched that hike up to pass Sydney and Turbo.

The extra rest they got waiting probably helped a bit too but that’s still so tough after everything they had to do the previous day.

Looking forward to reunion next week.

 

[T0INE]

They were dead last goin up the mountain, and won.

Yeah I just rewatched the episode.

EYE thought they were a distant second but come to find out they walked down every other team from dead last place.

Yeremi and Olivia were on that 2016 Cavs' comebyke steez. Major props to them.

Olivia annoyed me at times because she took on the "Michele" role this season but unlike her she was able to byke IT in an elimination and the Final.

NGL was glad to see Sydney get knocked down a pegged. She was cocky all season and especially in the Final.

When she saw Yeremi and Olivia pass her and Turbo.

That has to be the greatest comebyke in Challenge Finals history right?

 

[dmbrhs]

I can't stand Sydney, but she was doing great in the final. Turbo just gassed out. Also, why no TJ presentation to the final three? Even in the past he's met them at the bottom of a mountain rather than meet at the top.

 

[arstyle27]

Crazy that Olivia and Yer passed everyone up. Gotta give them props for not getting too down in themselves. Lost connect 4 , 3 effing times, then had to wait 10 more minutes!! Crazy. And that elevation is no effing joke.

 

[youngwolf]

Seeing them have to remain tethered reminded me of this foolishness:

Some updates on Season 42 cast:

Likely: CT, Mark Long, Bananas, Nany

Lotta people up in the air. Theme is Exes...again. I wish they'd just do an Inferno or Gauntlet-type team season.

Filming begins in February. All Stars 6 is also confirmed, but filming after.

 

[steebie j]

Finally peeped the finale

I thought it was over for Yeremy and Olivia. But they willed themselves to first, especially Yeremy. Dude look like he could’ve gone longer.

I for sure thought Turbo and Sydney were gonna win. But man at the end, they aged about 20 years that elevation and thin air got Turbo.

If I was Ced, I would’ve staked a claim. No way I’m running with Michaela on a bum ankle.

Theo a weasel *** *****.

 

[dmbrhs]

Apparently, losing all those Connect Four games gave Yeremi and Olivia the rest they needed. Turbo was already falling apart. Also, Turbo and Sydney were apparently 45 minutes ahead of them by the time they were able to leave the checkpoint because the other teams were so slow. I wasn't a big fan of Yeremi until that final. He reminded me of Landon on FM2 in the way he supported Olivia. He didn't drag her or push her up the mountain, he just kept the slow and steady pace she could work with.

As for staking a claim, I think Sydney said that from where they were standing, they were looking at this smaller (but still big) hill, and everyone was gassed and losing their minds. Nobody wanted to risk having to run even more and/or do a puzzle.

Sydney said she's not doing the show again, which sucks. You need villains like that on the show. Olivia just had her baby, so she won't be back for awhile. Looking forward to Michaela, Cedric, Yeremi, Turbo (just for the CT vs. Turbo thing) and Adrienne to be back.

Also, please, for the love of all that is holy, make Will and Nany a team on Exes.

Updates on Season 42 cast:

Men:

Bananas
CT
Paulie
Will
Rogan
Brad
Mark Long (possibly an alternate)

Women:

Nany
Adrienne

Paulie and Will being on is already must see TV because they will crash out spectacularly. Glad to see Adrienne back already.

Just watched the finale. Props to Olivia and Yerami.

I wish they'd do the time stuff again. Like how fast you finish the whole thing.

Production treats finals very arbitrarily. For example, on Rivals 1, Kenny and Wes finished an hour ahead of Bananas and Tyler on Day 1. Their reward: a two-minute head start on Day 2. Wes broke down, and Bananas got to breeze to an easy win because Day 1 didn't even matter. Time doesn't matter at all.

Another good example is Gauntlet 1. Coral got DQ'd due to a spider bite (she almost died), which gave RW an arbitrary 10-minute penalty. RW caught up to RR and even passed them, but there was no way they could win because of the stupid time penalty.

Even then, the Gauntlet 3 final was bogus because all of sudden it was announced that everyone had to finish in order to win. Big E collapsed and the Vets lost because he had to bail. There was no indication that season that the final required everyone to finish it.

There was even an All-Stars season where they didn't show one of the checkpoints, and all of a sudden one team that was behind was way ahead of the others for inexplicable reasons.

They just make **** up as they go a lot of the time.

Ashley being a liberal was NOT on my 2026 bingo card.

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

Rich white people riding with Trump....I am NOT surprised

 

[Hahahaha]

None of this is surprising.

Ashley being a liberal was NOT on my 2026 bingo card.

This is surprising.

She's from San Francisco, so it's not a stretch for her to lean left.
