Lantern7 March 6, 2019 Share March 6, 2019 (edited) Zuri Hall is the new sideline reporter on American Ninja Warrior. Truth be told, I forgot about her stints hosting post-episode shows. ETA: Apparently, there was an incident with glitter during filming of last week's episode. Also, Amanda got wrapped up in a truly jackass fashion. Yes, Johnny was allegedly involved. Shocker, right?

Now I'm wondering what other NBA greats watch. does Michael Jordan gamble on the outcomes? Does Charles Barkley lose money betting on the outcomes? Edited March 14, 2019 by Lantern7 2 Link to comment

I was initially surprised when I heard he was one of the writers on the new Veronica Mars reboot, but he's a really great writer. And so glad to know that he's been a long-time viewer. Much of his analysis was spot on. 1 Link to comment

BK1978 April 22, 2019 Share April 22, 2019 I am not sure where to put this but Da'vonne said on Twitter that she turned down being on the current season of The Amazing Race (her partner would have been Jason from her first season of Big Brother and that internet only season of Big Brother) in order to do the Challenge. I wonder why she would do that? To me TAR, while being nerve wracking as hell, would be such an awesome experience. To travel around the world for the chance to win half of a million dollars sounds awesome. I would much rather do that over living in a house with Ashely and company for a month. 1 Link to comment
peachmangosteen April 22, 2019 Share April 22, 2019 (edited) I don't know why she would make that choice but I thank her for it because I never wanna see Jason again lol. Edited April 22, 2019 by peachmangosteen 8 Link to comment

Two possibilities: either Johnny genuinely felt the need to go Full Kanye on a bunch of people that never even heard of him, or he wanted to stay "on brand" as possible in disrupting a nice moment for others. Honestly, I don't know which case would be sadder. 2 Link to comment

Lantern7 June 19, 2019 Share June 19, 2019 I found this video in a Challenge group on Facebook. I can't seem to find it on YouTube. Basically, it's veteran Challengers and how they got their starts on MTV. I keep forgetting they were so young once. 11 minutes ago, RandomWatcher said: Anyone remember Sean? Yes, Sean has lost his damn mind. He's lost brain cells getting Rachel pregnant. Big fat "whatever" at this point from me. 1 1 Link to comment

Can't really blame him, she was hot back in the day (I have not seen a recent picture of her). I remember there was one episode where she was riding a bike while wearing a dress and as a sophomore in high school (yeah I am old) that was oddly hot to me. Still is, if I am being honest. 1 Link to comment

"U.S. vs. U.K. vs. Turbo" might actually work. The bit about people jumping in after the start isn't good. For all the shit we gave Smashley, I don't think many people bring up that she are Hunter were brought in as "mercenaries." Link to comment

Lantern7 August 9, 2019 Share August 9, 2019 (edited) I’m not really thrilled with the title. Unless I’m really mistaken, this is the first time BMP used the same title in consecutive seasons. Going back to two teams is intriguing, though I’m thinking nobody walks away with the insane jackpots awarded to Smashley and Turbo. ”Reinforcements” sound intriguing, but BMP will no doubt fuck that up.

UniqBlue69 August 10, 2019 Share August 10, 2019 MTV is desperate.. they've been having a bad summer. Their crown jewels Teen Mom and Jersey Shore have sunk to their lowest ratings ever and Are You The One? and Ex on the Beach have been moved to new nights to salavage their precipitating numbers as well. Let's see if The Challenge can give them a glimmer of hope. Link to comment

OnceSane August 13, 2019 Share August 13, 2019 I won't mutter it under my breath: TOTAL. FAME. WHORES. If they make it down the aisle, I give it less than three years before divorce. But I think they'll split long before that so they can be partnered in a season or two on the next Exes Challenge. 1 1 Link to comment

I’m pretty sure Sarah hates Johnny. I’m not a regular listener of her podcast, but I’ve heard it a few times and she dislikes him, to say the least. As for the title: Vevmo claimed the working title was Bloody Hell. I assume the network told them that wasn’t appropriate, hence war of the worlds 2. For people who refused to even admit they were dating for most of their relationship, I’m surprised Jordan decided on an onscreen proposal. I suppose they have as good a chance as anyone else from this show. Link to comment

That was my point . . . that I couldn't see ANY way that tweet could be okay for Sarah. Unless she lost a bet. My point, as always:"Fuck Johnny." I wound up going to the ChallengeMania event last Saturday, and Cara Maria and Paulie had talked shit about Johnny, including him having bots to respond to pictures that have his hashtag. I think the bottom line is that Johnny might not have any allies left. Well, probably Leroy. I had gotten a ticket for the event, but I wanted to back out because I didn't want to see those two bang on stage. But then Ruthie was added, and I decided to go. If y'all ask, I could post about it on my blog. Seriously, I need motivation to write these days. Edited August 20, 2019 by Lantern7 3 Link to comment

I don't think Natalie Duran deserves to be mentioned in the same sentence as that lot. At ChallengeMania, Paulie was taking the high ground against Bear. You know, I can understand Paulie's drive and disgust towards the less savory Challengers . . . but he's still Paulie. The guy's got an ego on him, and having CM rub up on him doesn't make him any more bearable. (Note: I'm assuming Paulie and CM do stuff to each other equally. Like that time in RR: The Quest, where Steve interviewed being disgusted by Adam and Ellen giving each other oral sex. I didn't need that image, and I got tired of CMP (PCM?) planning on duct-taping Kyle to a wall and banging while his eyelids are forced open) Link to comment
