Wes and his girlfriend, with most of Real World: Austin in attendance. I hope he made her sign a pre-nup. In the event of divorce, she could wind up with at least 300 of his companies.

Here's a brief teaser.

Man, I hope "Final" means that BMP cuts these assholes loose, and that we don't have to obsess over them ever again.

ETA: Post from Marie. Very funny.

Right! When I saw it was called Final Reckoning I got all excited that maybe it was ending for good.

Fuuuuuuuuuck Paulie Caliafore.  Cara I seriously expected better from you.  ABRAM is a better person for you.

I hope Paulie gets bounced first and Natalie hits the bricks right after.

Paulie and Paul Abrahamian (also a former BB hamster) are having a beef on Twitter and Paulie is accusing Paul of being salty that he (Paul) is not on The Challenge.

Holy fuckballs.  For those who do not know him, if Paul DOES end up on this show?  It will be the single most divisive decision ever made by production.  I’m not even exaggerating.

There are those who like Paul, and those who don’t, and the gulf in between is greater than the size of the earth.  

And from what I’ve seen on Twitter, either this season is going to be ugly and hateful, or there was a lot of ugly and hateful shit that went on behind the scenes that is coming out now.  Should be great!

Hey, Paulie was rumored to be doing a BB-heavy edition of The Amazing Race, but then that fell fell through. I’d rather him taint this series. I don’t know much about him, but he sound like the “Ogie” Oglethorpe of assholes. I’d rather Johnny do TAR, even if the result is him winning $500K.

I hate Paulie C. with a passion, but Paul A. would be the thing that could actually make me quit The Challenge.

Hmm, the Final Reckoning trailer.

Why are they talking about the "end of an era?"

Another $1 million pool to compete for.  Is MTV going to stop funding The Challenge and are giving them a big prize pool to go out with?

Doesn't seem like it, if anything they've consistently aired the Challenges in recent years.

Or maybe there will be a drastic change in format and it won't be the Challenge as we know it.

I didn't see any clips of Bananas so could they have not invited him to this one?  That also seems unlikely.

I used to find Cara hot after the way she acted last season and hooking up with Paulie...her hotness factor has dropped.

No it was Paul A. that was rumored to be on a team with Josh.  Luckily for us that did not happen because I would never have been able to watch those two.  I managed to sit through two seasons with the Twinnies and I did not give up but if Paul would have shown up on TAR...I would have been out.

I agree, though Paulie might make me quit as well.  They should have cast Paulie's brother at least he was not that offensive.

That was what I was thinking as well.  Is this the end of the show?

People were commenting on their Facebook page asking if The Challenge was ending after this season. The official page commented back and said it was just “the end of an era” not the end of The Challenge. Whatever that means. But it doesn’t look like outright cancelation.

Fingers crossed that it means Bananas is retiring!

Oh man! Does that mean they'll be adding more MTV personalities? Like the Teen Mom people?  I really don't want to see the likes of those fools on any more shows.  

ETA: I would like to see CT beat David Eason's ass though.

It's possible since Cheyenne (& maybe Cory) will be joining the Teen Mom cast for the next season.

Right.  Because it's the first time you've had an actual, real job.

Guess who won't be watching.....

He's on a show called "The Challenge".

Essay on why Redemption Houses are bad.

ETA: Shane took over the show's Instagram, and the old-schoolers came out in force. So many blasts from the past. Great read if you miss the good old days.

I wonder how old John is now (I know I could just look it up but I am lazy), I am guessing he has to be around fifty.  Crap he was considered "old" during one of the first seasons I saw him.

Also, I have to say Coral still looks good.

Apparntly this Tuesday a docuseries is going to debut on USA featuring WWE “superstars” Miz and Maryse.

Which is all well and good, Miz has been doing reality for a decade, but the blurb I saw in Entertainment Weekly also says they are first time parents and that’s where I was like WOAH, because that was a plot twist I did not see coming.

ChallengeMania is a podcast that features Derrick. They also sell merch . . . and some of it bears the images of Challengers. Get some stuff for the person in your life that follows the show, and you fucking hate him/her!!

I would get one of Evelyn.

Why is Paulie so heavily represented in the merch??
