Lantern7 August 27, 2019 Share August 27, 2019 It looks like WOTW2 might be Theo's last season. Apparently, an errant champagne cork split his right eye. I don't think I had many problems with him last season, and I figure he would've won if a demigod wasn't in the finale. Naturally, someone who doesn't look like a total dick gets hurt like that.

Yikes. That sucks! However, if Jordan can be a bad ass competitor with his abilities, then so potentially could Theo. The only difference is Jordan has had a lifetime of experience with figuring out how to accommodate and adjust. Theo should seriously consider how he can still leverage this opportunity to continue making money, especially if some of his other prospects (like the Olympic or some professional sport) might be less likely. And I bet that even with one eye he'd still be a better competitor than half of these folks. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/5025-the-challenge-in-the-media-the-road-to-fame-is-straight-and-narrow/page/12/#findComment-5559568

In my head, there's a difference between losing use of an eye and growing up with only one fully-formed hand. Also, I reckon depth perception would be vital in competition. If he returns? Great. But I doubt it, and it's a bit painful that he seemed like one of the more normal of the new kids with athletic talent. He would've won WotW if BMP had excluded guys with Minotaur DNA. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/5025-the-challenge-in-the-media-the-road-to-fame-is-straight-and-narrow/page/12/#findComment-5560219
Lantern7 August 28, 2019 Share August 28, 2019 Reminder: WotW2 starts tonight. Here’s a write-up I found on The A.V. Club: Quote The Challenge (MTV, 9 p.m., 34th-season premiere): To answer your first question: Yes, MTV’s The Challenge is still on. To answer the question you neglected to ask: Yes, it is better than ever. Why? Because the past few seasons have injected the one-time battle between Real World and Road Rules with fresh competitors from a number of different properties, including a number of U.K. franchises. Considering the ruthless English additions have been a highlight of the latter-day seasons, it makes sense that this 34th season will pit the U.S. competitors against the Brits, who will include the formidable likes of Joss Mooney, Stephen Bear, and Kyle Christie in their ranks. Old fans of the franchise might recognize fan favorites like Johnny Bananas, Caria Maria Sorbello, and, of course, Chris “C.T.” Tamburello, the latter of whom will serve as some kind of mysterious “reinforcement.” The only thing that’s never not changing on the venerable franchise is its perpetually chill host, BMX legend T.J. Lavin. [Randall Colburn] “Perpetually chill”? Teege?!? Maybe when someone important crosses a line. “Okay, Camila just went on a rant. Racism’s bad. Racism’s bad, mmmkay?” 🙄 2 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/5025-the-challenge-in-the-media-the-road-to-fame-is-straight-and-narrow/page/12/#findComment-5560537

She’s always had a really good edit. For 12 or so seasons, her edit was really decent despite being full of herself and doing some really awful stuff to others. The bad guy edit didn’t come in until she started falling to pieces over men and losing her ever loving mind on camera.
