The Challenge in the Media: "The road to [fame] is straight and narrow."

First couple of seasons of All-Stars were fun, just vets only.

Now they're mixing people so they can go on either show.

Maybe for now they are tired of casting newbies so they rely more on those in their mid 40s or older?

Not great for the MTV viewer demographics but then again, maybe the only ones watching MTV now are older viewers who've been watching for several decades.

It may or may not mean anything, but it's interesting how there is not very much of Wes in that trailer.  Either he's a big dud with no excitement or he goes early.  The few times he is shown seems like early/introductions footage.

I was doing something the other day and turned on the TV for background noise.   It happened to be on E and they were showing a marathon of House of Villains Season Two.   I watched about ten minutes before I began feeling terribly embarrassed for Wes as he tried to be relevant in a poorly scripted production that is little more than a shouting match between drag queens and diva-types I've never heard of.   He was being the Wes we all know, but the chemistry of the show wasn't right for it.   He was a bad fit.

Not sure if anyone has brought this up yet, but the "lost season" of The Challenge, Season 14, Inferno 3, "the season MTV didn't want you to see" is now available on Paramount Plus.   I just discovered it the other day.   It was like finding a long-lost work of art.

Season 14 lands just about on the dividing line between Era 1 and Era 2.  Cast members include CT, Kenny, Bananas, Danny, Timmy, Aneesa, Evelyn, Rachel, Jenn, Janelle, Alton, Tonya, Susie, Paula and a couple others, including a vet I can't mention without spoiling.   I've watched a few episodes.  There have been shouting matches, cat fights, pushy-shoveys between some of the guys, physical violence, etc.   An excellent way to cleanse the palate after Season 40.

Are the streams on Paramount Plus uncensored?

Like I think they released uncensored DVDs of some seasons, featuring unburied nudity and such.

 

As far as Wes, he said he was leaving to spend more time with his family or whatever.  Apparently he was hoping this other reality show would hit bigger for him.

Watch him come crawling back though he claims he doesn't need Challenge prize money because his businesses are doing so well.

Why else does he constantly go on TV and make a fool of himself?
