Edit: updated 7/16

Beth sucks majorly as does Jon "truuuue storeeee" Brennan, but otherwise pretty good list.

Pretty sure Rachel is in the girls list too

Thats a legit cast and I REALLY hope we see some OGs again.

If you are bored like me Amazon Prime has deal where you get access to S20-32 for $5.99/month. Theres a 7 day free trial.

I just started Rivals 1...

Did anyone catch a glimpse of She Who Shall Not Be Named? The editing is on point

Aneesa cries about getting sent home the day before Finals but she can't expect to come to a challenge older and very out of shape and really think she's going to whip ass.

Glad Josh is gone. He's a legend in his own mind and it's annoying. Also something about how his mouth and lips move when he talks grosses me out.

I love Kyle!

That's what I appreciate about Johnny Bananas. He is 38 (same age as aneesa) but he is still in really good shape and trains for these challenges. It's obvious he takes It seriously.

CT is 39 and hasn't been in challenge shape in a few years. I wonder how many more of these him and Bananas can do before they call it quits? It'll be hard competing against the young bucks when you're in your 40's lol.

Please do not invite josh back MTV!

Dad Bod CT won a few seasons ago in a solo season

I think some of these guys will be welcomed back as long as they would like to do the show. Espically Bananas and CT.

Watching Rivals 1 so much has changed over the last 10 years. Im really looking forward to watching these old seasons.

Yea Im surprised how well CT has been doing given that hes older and not in shape. At some point his body is going to give up on him the older he gets. I really wish Tony Raines would come back on the show, he was always my favorite cast member.

Is it pretty much a lock that Fessi is going to win? I don't think there is anyone who can keep up with him physically and he seems like a pretty smart dude. Hes going to be a force on these challenges if he keeps coming back.

Not a Tony fan at all.

If Fessi can do a puzzle watch out

We haven't seen Fessy run a half marathon, which the Final usually requires, but I doubt that would be a problem for him. Johnny will be his main challenger, but yeah, Fessy is on another level than the rest of these guys.

Eric Nies?!?
I watched his season, and I was THIRTY TWO!
Dude's got to be around FIFTY now.

Fessi has dominated on several of the endurance challenges this season, I think he will do just fine with the half marathon. He is in incredible shape. I dont really see guys like Corey or Nelson doing much damage in the final. Kyle is always an interesting wildcard, he is sneaky good and flies under the radar.

True, it's hard to know exactly how long the challenges have been (dragging junk back and forth), but he seems to be in fantastic shape. I do remember Zach gassing out in Free Agents when he seemed like a beast before that, so ya never know.

Agree he's close to 50 if he was 20 on the first real world 30 yrs ago.
Are we supposed to know your age or who you are, THIRTY TWO?

I recall zach had his legs cramp up rather than gas out.

It was great. He was crying like a baby. Full on "hup-hups".

Um, no. I was just lurking (which I do here a bit). I have watched the MTV reality shows since they began with Real World and Road Rules. I like to read the episode recaps posted here to see what y'all think of them.

Oh, and I'm an old (61).

No worries, I'm also old (I think we are the audience now). I bet Eric and Mark long are currently in game shape. Some of the rest of that list probably not so much.

One of the funniest/most pathetic melt downs of all time. Was that the same season he treated Sam like complete trash? If so that was karma

Interesting he tagged Netflix in this tweet. MTV would be stupid not to see this through

But how would MTV be able to show 48 episodes of Ridiculousness a day if they had to broadcast The Challenge OGs?

CT reminds me of Shaq in the sense that he would get into shape during the season and be a monster in the playoffs.

I am all about Mark Long doing the heavy work on recruiting. I think this will at least lead to hopefully one of these "OGs" to come back. I would love to see what Landon would do on one of these recent seasons. He is my personal GOAT when it comes to the Challenge. Coral was my first favorite Challenger, so I would love to see what she would do now.

As much as I hate Josh, I would love to have him back to see his idiocy again. Him losing is just too perfect to not have every season.

Josh's level of delusion is unmatched. Its awesome.

One thing this season has showed us - the producers can literally tell any story they want. They have almost completely removed a character from the show. Kinda scary when you think about it.

sam was battle of the seasons, which was what i was thinking of. In battle of the (real world) seasons, he and frank were amazing partners/competitors, but brought out the complete worst in each other and basically just bullied the whole house.


Edit to add, Josh is kind of a modern version of Frank, only without the charm, skill, or ability.

I hope Bailey winning elim and making a final doesn't guarantee more of those 2.

Agreed. Also, havent seen much of Rogan lately, I assume because is so closely tied in with Dee and thats his main storyline. Which is a shame because I like Rogan on this challenge.

Great episode tonight. Didn't realize Cory and Nelson were that tight with each other. Can't wait for the final now.

Rogan is a manimal.

Nelson gained some cred in my book. Good bull.

Really enjoyed that one! Of course, I would have loved to see Fessy destroy someone in that game.

I really expected Johnny and Kyle to go back on their promise to Kaycee and send Fessy in anyways. To me he is the favorite to win a final so why not give it a shot to have him possibly get eliminated. If he does come back, then you at least got rid of Rogan and the political fallout would be minimal unless you are expecting Kaycee and Fessy to be around for many seasons and that they'll hold grudges. That Fessy vs Rogan hall brawl would have been intense.

I texted my friend if he would sacrifice himself to go in the purgatory for me and he said yes but then said his wife wouldn't allow him to. Lol.

The Challenge Producers once they got to edit Dee out of the show, knowing that Jenny was going to destroy her:



Johnny had to be playing the long game there; I don't see any other reason why he wouldn't have thrown in Fessy. My only other thought is that he's confident that Fessy don't have any idea how tough a Final is, so Johnny has confidence he can beat him there.

I'm really looking forward to this final. Between Corey, Fessy, Rogan, and Jenny, it is STACKED with strong competitors. Johnny can definitely still be a contender despite his age and Kyle and Kaycee could sneak to the top as well. Melissa and Bayleigh could be at a disadvantage just due to their size but they are both pretty fierce so who knows. I just really hope the final doesn't have some dumb stage in it like the one time they had to draw a freaking card.

So glad we got a hall brawl and to watch Nelson and Rogan in it was awesome (why didn't their helmets have cages, or at least mouth guards??). My only pet peeve is I wish they would show the match in real time at least once after all the slow mo stuff. It would be cool to see it as it really was. I legit started tearing up when Nelly and Corey were saying bye at the end. Who would've guessed that this season would do that.

I usually don't have much faith in Corey because he always chokes, but this season he seems more confident and determined. Who knows, he may prove everyone wrong and win the final for his daughters.

That elimination with Jenny was awesome. I don't think I've ever seen someone flat out dominate another opponent like that, except for when CT was dragging Bananas on his back in that classic clip lol.

Very true.he was always on the opposite side of the young bucks and wes's rookie alliances. A lot of his true allies have aged out of the show which is a huge reason why he hasnt been to a final in 6 seasons. If he's planning to do this for more seasons then i suppose he doesn't need to make even more strong enemies.
