I know some people have speculated it was due to music rights, but in other seasons they’ve just changed the music, so I don’t know. I will say I recently rewatched some of it and it is, even by old challenge standards, incredibly boring.

aghst November 12, 2020 Share November 12, 2020 When would they have filmed this? Did they cut a deal when Iceland was willing to allow tourists in over the summer? When they did the reunion it was during the pandemic right? So they must have been filming some of it then? I could understand if they filmed in fall and winter and we got it in spring. Total Madness season 35 premiered on 4/1/20 and they're able to film another season, edit it and get it back on the air in 8 months? That's a quick turnaround even if there wasn't a pandemic. Hmm, just checking but season 34 first aired in August 28, 2019, just 3 months after the end of season 33 on 5/22/19 -- S33 premiered on 2/6/19. So that's 6-7 months between seasons 33 and 34, with a season airing over a period of 4 months. And it was 8 months between seasons 34 and 35. So this would be 8 months, which is not that unusual. But it always seem like a year between seasons when MTV is obviously filming with maybe a couple of months breaks? Makes you think that the vets, especially those who make it to the final challenges, are starting up like a month or two after they film the end of the previous season, so not much time to train in between. And MTV is probably cranking out the episodes, not doing much in the way of polishing the episodes. Or maybe they finish editing and post production on one or two and then edit the rest of the episodes as the season is airing. In any event, interesting that Bananas is skipping this season. America's Got Talent newbies? Blech. Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/5025-the-challenge-in-the-media-the-road-to-fame-is-straight-and-narrow/page/16/#findComment-6446722

And, wow, CT has done EIGHTEEN challenges with three wins. Remember when we thought Mark was too old? LOL. And Wes has only won twice in 14 appearances. We're getting Devin back, but will he be at all interesting without Johnny? Or far more interesting? Will we get another round of Kam and Leroy? What about Kaycee and Nany? Nicole, but no Laurel. When was the last time Theresa and Wes met? Did Tori's fiancé get cancelled or will we see him again? How many seasons has it been since neither Johnny nor Cara will be on the show? I know I'm alone on both of these, but first, I love Ashley and all her craziness. Can't wait to see what she brings. Second UO, I can't wait to see how Natalie does. I didn't think I ever would have liked her, but separated from her Twinnie, I grew to adore her. She's a beast, but it's hard for me to see her really carrying any storylines. Of course, I've never seen her on a show with free flowing booze, so who knows? And HOLY SHIT, not only did they clean house on some folks, is this the most diverse cast we've ever seen?

He won't be around long enough to make long-term alliances and enemies, he's not going to have a string of exes behind him.

I actually didn't mind that. If I didn't have a skull, anyone with one would be fair game to me. I hated that they kept letting people volunteer to go into elimination instead of being strategic. If I was playing, I would also do whatever I could to block "champion" or strong players from ever seeing an elimination so that they never had an opportunity for a skull. They just weren't playing smart and the rules didn't force them to have to be strategic.

I hadn't heard the rumors Tori cheated on this last challenge, which actually surprises me even more. She's apparently not afraid to get a cheater image on tv (...she has cheated before on this show, right?). I'm actually side-eyeing her a little bit - I can't help but wonder if Jordan getting apparently banned has anything to do with it. I could almost see her wanting to be part of a reality show couple more than wanting to be part of a couple with Jordan. I think what happened with Jordan is a much more likely culprit for the breakup than any alleged flirting with Fessy. In addition to the fact that the show now wants Tori but not Jordan, which has to be hard for someone as proud as him, it couldn’t have been easy to weather the storm with him this summer when that Nia fight resurfaced. It’s really hard to be in a position to be expected by the public to be accountable for the actions of your significant other, especially when happened before you ever met him, and especially when it's something you could never condone. I wouldn’t be surprised if it really exposed some cracks in their relationship. I could see Jordan being the kind of guy who expects his partner to be a “stand by your man” type, and there’s no way Tori could have let that behavior go and not come off as hypocritical with the brand she’s built for herself. 1 hour ago, UniqueHandle said: The rumor is Tori flirted with Fessy. Tori is a habitual flirter and Jordan knows that so unless that was a definite deal breaker before she left for the challenge, I cant image that is the reason they broke off their engagement. During the filming of this, Fessy broke up with his girlfriend, Heigh(however it is spelled)lieigh ... so maybe more than just flirting happened. *shrug* This is all hearsay, of course. I know nothing 100%. I think there are multiple rumors involving Fessy. I highly doubt Tori crossed any lines. Whatever happened between them, I think she loves Jordan and wouldn’t want to be openly hurtful to him.

Lantern7 December 2, 2020 Share December 2, 2020 Heavy.com article on Johnny's absence this coming season. Not much to say, really. He's just taking a breather. 3 hours ago, Jillibean said: I think what happened with Jordan is a much more likely culprit for the breakup than any alleged flirting with Fessy. That would be disappointing. Jordan comes off as a meathead and he runs his mouth off, but I want to like the guy. It's not because he only have the one whole hand. He's proven himself in past seasons, and he's one of the few players that can back up the boasting. On some level, I respect that. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/5025-the-challenge-in-the-media-the-road-to-fame-is-straight-and-narrow/page/16/#findComment-6480150

He's proven himself in past seasons, and he's one of the few players that can back up the boasting. On some level, I respect that. I want to like him too, but he just keeps preventing that from happening. I wanted to like him for being in love with Tori, but I didn’t love the way he spoke to her during that elimination with Jenna. And in addition to Niagate, he got himself in trouble by making a video showing how much better his clothing business was than a supposed luxury brand. However, that brand was a black owned business so on top of everything else, it was a bad look. I think everyone is just sort of using old interviews to pretend they have any idea what Johnny is going to do. He gave interviews saying both things after last season, that he wasn’t retiring and that he was maybe retiring. I think we all strongly suspect that he’s not done, but probably will come back only if all the conditions (paycheck, timing, covid testing procedure etc.) are favorable to him. I don’t think he feels compelled to do every season anymore, which is in my opinion a good thing for both him and the show. I’ve also seen buzz about both him and Wes possibly being attached to the OG challenge, which I think isn’t what most people envisioned but wouldn’t be surprising if the producers of that concept are looking for a “draw.” Edited December 2, 2020 by Jillibean 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/5025-the-challenge-in-the-media-the-road-to-fame-is-straight-and-narrow/page/16/#findComment-6480733
lasu December 10, 2020 Share December 10, 2020 There is quite a situation brewing across the pond. Georgia says Bear filmed her without her knowledge or consent and has shown it to other people, including for profit on his FansOnly page. Bear denies it and mocks her crying. She says she is going to prosecute him and send him to jail. I think that will be the end of Bear on The Challenge; I wonder if Georgia will be exiled as well, or if she even still wants to do the show.

Although I used the shock reaction, I'm totally not because Bear is a complete douche who doesn't respect anyone, especially women. Shit like that is taken more seriously in the British legal system than here in America, so if he's indicted and convicted, there's definite jail time in his future. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/5025-the-challenge-in-the-media-the-road-to-fame-is-straight-and-narrow/page/16/#findComment-6493837
aghst December 10, 2020 Share December 10, 2020 Wasn't he caught on camera being deceptive in the last season they were on? People could see a mile away that he was scum but she couldn't resist him. I was just listening to Dr. Drew's podcast and he had on a guy who was a specialist in women's health issues. He said hormonal changes affect perceptions of how women are attracted to men. For instance being on the pill may make some women attracted to men that they otherwise wouldn't be attracted to. So he joked that women should go off the pill for a few months before marrying their fiancee. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/5025-the-challenge-in-the-media-the-road-to-fame-is-straight-and-narrow/page/16/#findComment-6494257

Is it cheaper through Amazon Prime? Sorry I didn't see the question when it was asked. It's not but I got it for free from there. Didn't know there was a difference at the time. I've been using all access proper for a bit now catching up on old shows before I drop it again.

That's a really nice interview with CT. He seems accepting of getting older and sounds surprisingly mature. And for all that he's on TV, and ignoring that wedding special, he does seem to keep his private life private, which is refreshing. I can see how The Challenge, for some of the long-timers, might actually be a safe space of sorts. (Being on TV all the time is my personal definition of hell, but that's me.) ETA: WTF Bear, and his response is gross. Hope Georgia pursues this. And screw Cara Maria.
