I marked this as Useful because these are words to remember.

I've been watching S1 and wow! Alicia was definitely the star of the season. I feel like Angela was still figuring out her shtick. Paulie was completely subdued here compared to The Challenge. Victoria was a nice comic relief. Chris the DJ who thought his girlfriend slept with his uncle was a weird tabloid story. I didn't like the little mean girl clique between Angela, Victoria, and Taylor and how they were making fun of Jasmine for wearing the same outfits. I'm glad Shanley stood up for her. I like Faith. I feel bad for Laurel. I like her but I feel like if she just staged a showmance with someone and pretended to move on she might have had a better chance at staying. The part where she was campaigning to not get voted out was funny. I hope she can move forward whether it's through vet school or other reality shows. I don't get why other casts get mad at cheaters (like Cameron from last season) but Nicole is somehow less annoying than Laurel.

According to Reddit, the show hasn't been picked up yet for another season by MTV. I'm enjoying watching the show out of order on Pluto TV but I'm sad that it might not get picked up again.

Thank you! That makes sense.

I agree with what everyone wrote. I think Jordan was too harsh on Ninja. I liked Josh more after the reunion. On a shallow note, I noticed Laurel had something on her hand? It was white and looked like a rash. I've never noticed if she has it on other seasons and I checked Twitter if anyone else saw.

I enjoyed the premiere, even if I fell asleep for the last 40 minutes and needed to rewatch. I'm glad they had a 2 hour premiere because these shows take a lot of time to get going. I'm going into this as a Laurel and Marlon fan. Seeing Nicole already lie to her is rough. Laurel has been going off on Twitter these last few days. I like the Bachelorette guy as a self aware villain sort of. His comments about the teeth and his age made me laugh. I like Ali and La Demi. Season 1 is on my Video on Demand section and it's weird how the show used to be a little different. The beach had people on it, they had less sound effects/editing, and the cast was awkward a little.

I'm watching Dirty 30 out of order on Pluto TV and is there a reason why all the girls hate Aneesa?

I'm sad at how excited I am for this. I hope it's more interesting than S3.

I just watched the finale and I'm happy for Marie's 10 second cameo even if I got sad when I saw her crying in her confessional. Coffey deserves better. I don't know who her clients were before but I hope she can continue to book people and find someone who makes her happy.

I forgot to mention it in my other post but in the last episode they used a clip of Anthony B and Koffey sharing chips (?) on the couch in 2 completely different parts of the episode.

Wow, that's disappointing. I always thought they had some random picks.

Hello everyone! I'm new to The Challenge and I started watching on Pluto TV. I've seen a little bit of the 5 seasons they have there but mostly Battle of the Seasons 2012. At first I thought it was a nice season because it was mostly new faces and I didn't need to know that much history and their relationships were kind of self explanatory but the more I watch, the worse it gets. San Diego was terrible that season. When Frank yelled at Nany for her sister and Dustin for his past and then called Nany and Alton the 2 biggest troublemakers in the house, I got so annoyed. Then Trishelle acted innocent about getting Nany sent out of the house. Seeing Marie flip out in her last episode was sad but judging by Ex on the Beach, I guess she's always been like that. I really enjoy Devyn. I didn't like when Nany had her stuff thrown in the pool or when Camila flipped out during the elimination with Big Easy. The behind the scenes gossip for the Fresh Meat team being a last minute replacement for Sydney was interesting and made a lot of sense. If the bit about 2 Vegas teams was true, I feel bad for Nany and Dustin for getting stuck with Trishelle. I wonder what a new Battle of the Seasons would look like. I hope if they would have an AYTO team, they'd make is S8 people only.

I caught up this weekend and wow. I feel like this season has been weaker than last season. Marie was my favorite and I'm sad to see how she was treated. The episode where Jason came and she felt happy and threw the 2000's party was fun and things were looking up for her until he started being a tool (Kenya's outfit was too authentic) and everything went downhill. I wish she wasn't so hung up on Devin. She's cute and she knows how to have fun but her insecurity is her biggest weakness. Anthony B was sweet of comforting her at the elimination night where she wanted to quit. I haven't seen her other reality shows (other than a few episodes of The Challenge channel on Pluto TV) so I don't know what she's like in other environments. She posted a sad video on Twitter and she seems bummed. If it makes her feel any better, Devin probably will screw it up with Shannon too. I liked Kenya at the start of the season but she kind of just went into the background. I really like Ariana. I like Shannon and Geles way more without Anthony M. Aubrey has been getting worse these last few episodes but I like Koffey.

Apparently with Warner Media buying Turner Media, there's going to be more focus on HBO and their streaming service and TNT/TBS/Tru TV are speculated to be less of a priority and that includes less original programming. TBS cancelled The Detour recently and has put Search Party, which usually premieres around November, on limbo (the season stopped filming in December 2018 I believe, but it's almost been 2 years since the last season). With Claws wrapping up, I can see the corporate drama turning out to be a reason for all of this shuffling.

Aww, I'm sad to see it end. This season started off slow and while I need to watch the finale, I can't imagine how many other crime organizations the group will run into. I'm glad it won't decay like Weeds did during the last 5 seasons but I still think they have so many stories to tell. I really enjoy the diversity in the cast and I need my female led crime dramas! This show's humor, fashion, and high stakes storytelling made it one of a kind for me. I wonder if it has to do with the HBO stuff. I feel like TBS and TNT are doing a lot of shuffling.

I just watched this episode! I thought it was funny but kind of parody-ish at some points. When the gang let Melba be alone and she ran away I wanted to yell at my screen for being in the crime world for so long and doing a rookie move like that. The first scene where Virginia was like "take her out to the club?" and Jen was like "you're not a hit girl, you're a tit girl" felt like their lines were made by a (talented) bot. I'm glad Dean and Desna made up and that Melba is finally gone. I laughed hard at her final scene. I like that their fights for who was at fault for all the crime stuff mirrored the threads over here. I still don't get all of the Toby/Uncle Daddy stuff.

I don't know if this belongs in this thread or would be better somewhere else, but has anyone read Live From New York? Did the reprint just add new chapters or did it edit and update the old chapters too? Do you think there'll be a 50th anniversary edition of the book? I was a casual viewer a few years ago and I liked reading about the history and drama behind the show and the casting stuff from this weekend made me miss it.

I just finished the season! I'm glad they won the money. Apparently, Basit was flirting in Remy's inbox on Instagram and tried to get Remy to cheat. I was surprised at hearing a few hook ups that the show got rid of (Remy/Kari, Danny with Jenna and Kai, Remy with Amber and Justin in the last episode). I wonder if they did that in every season.

I just finished the season and I loved it! I thought they were setting things up for next season but I guess they just wanted to play it for laughs. I hope it comes back!

No, they're both still on thankfully. Will and Grace was taken off originally but then they put it back on at 10 PM and 3 AM. I just miss the consecutive episodes. @shapeshifter, I still have that schedule, but I'm just greedy and want more Will and Grace.

Pluto TV is a sort of streaming service owned by Viacom. They have "live channels" for every Viacom programming block you can think of (well, generally MTV reality shows), random movies, news channels, and music stations and then movies that you can actually stream. Crackle, Tubi, and Vudu also have movies available.

Maybe this is petty of me but I'm still mad that Cozi TV replaced their 2018 line up of Will and Grace (10 PM to midnight) and The Nanny (12 AM to 2 AM) to just The Office. They switch it up every few weeks but the damage is done. The Office is everywhere already. Is it me or is the picture quality on Laff TV really low?

I don't like Facebook at all but I wish they would use their resources to put the original seasons with full music rights on Facebook Watch. It bums me out that they're lost forever. I only saw the first season because my cable provider put it on demand for the 25th anniversary a few years ago.

I'm a few weeks behind but I loved Marie fighting with the twins. If the rumors are true then I'm glad people are calling them out for authenticity. But you have to wonder how fake is too fake for this show. I miss Angela. I feel bad that Cara was just used as a prop but I'm glad that at least they didn't show us any bigotry towards her (although it was probably to make the other cast members look better).

I loved the robbery scene. I thought they all dressed terribly for people who were trying to be discrete but that was the point. I laughed at Roller, Melba, and Uncle Daddy trying to keep the racist busy and I'm glad that Roller was able to stay quiet. I feel like he looks a little different this season but I can't put my finger on it. Not to be sadistic but they should've knock out the maid again after they tied her up and she woke up. I almost felt bad for Mac but I've been over them. I'm confused for if the Professor has the whole police department or if it's just a one time bribe. The scene with Virginia's doppelganger was uncanny. I'm worried what chain of events Polly will get everyone into...
