I’m rewatching fresh meat 1 and I’ve always wondered why they haven’t made a part 3. Now that we’re getting a new cutthroat season I feel like this would be a good concept to bring back. If they don’t want to have completely unknown rookies they could have a season where a vet pairs up with a rookie for the entire season. No swaps because that leads to the vets finding a way of making rookie/rookie pairs and sending them to elimination. I still think having a Fresh Meat 3 would be better, from 1 and 2 we got really good competitors like Kenny, Evan, Diem, and fun cast members like Ryan and Big Easy

I was always fans of both Theo and Olivia and loved when they became a couple. But on Vets & New Threats they (especially Olivia) turned into the very assholes that they despised on previous seasons. I can't stand them now. I'm so disappointed in how much they changed

Even though each competitor is there to win money, they also have to be careful with the rules & production, and not cross the line.

WHICH VET THAT HASN’T WON YET WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE GET THAT CHALLENGE CHAMPION TITLE FINALLY ?!

Did anyone else clock AJ from The Challenge UK on the new Dancing with the Stars dance competition?! 😂
I was rooting for AJ and his brother Curtis on The Challenge UK! AJ was actually a strong competitor—he went **2–0 in eliminations**, won a daily, and made it all the way to the final, finishing 4th overall. So it was wild seeing him pop up again!
Anyone else recognize him immediately? 👀

Anyone know how we can watch the war of the worlds seasons? I know it’s taken down by mtv because bear is horrible. It was just a good season and I want to rewatch

I don't know if anyone else can relate to this, but lately I have found myself to be a bit too "woke" for my favorite show. Most of the seasons I watch I find myself disliking and rooting against pretty much anyone due to all of the horrible people in the show. I often end up rooting for cringey or annoying challengers because I cannot bring myself to support any misogynistic trump supporters that take up half the cast on the majority of seasons. Watching Rivals 1, I find myself only able to root for Mike and Leroy and Paula and Evelyn due to the rapey misogynistic JEK alliance, CT's love for trump and Adam's misogyny, Camilla's racism, Cara's love for trump, etc. Even then, Paula put up with JEK's antics too much for my liking. This is similar for War of the Worlds and plenty more of the best seasons where I root for the most irrelevant and cringe people simply because I hate abusers, misogynists, and trump supporters, which you think would be more common right??? Nope. Bananas is still cast and regarded as one of the best players (IMO he should've been banned after Tonya's assault). Zach and plenty other immoral people are also still getting calls for the show. It sucks because lots of these people are good entertainment and you obviously can't blacklist people from a show due to political beliefs. I will still continue to watch the show because in no way do I like it any less but it definitely bothers me how much bad people they cast. Does anyone else feel like this, and if so lately who do you find yourself rooting for??? For the War of the Worlds final, it sucks because it was so intense that I would have loved to support more of the finalists, yet morally I could only cheer for Theo and Georgia despite Georgia needing more self-respect (I am not victim blaming her, this is just my opinion based on her actions solely during the season). I do find myself liking Wes more in his later seasons since he has apologized for his prior actions and is no longer a complete POS (him and Darrell are probably the only challengers that are regarded super highly that I could say that about) but I do not support him lying and saying Da'Vonne threatened his life, so it is always hard for me to figure out how much BS I am willing to put up from one challenger before I start rooting against them.

How does this sound for a possible concept;
- Battle of the Networks?!

It’s basically alumni from MTV vs alumni from Paramount (Survivor, Big Brother, The Amazing Race, etc)

Of course, they could always bring back the Classics: Inferno, Gauntlet, Battle of the Sexes, Fresh Meat, Duel, or Rivals instead

I can't understand how Jenny West gets so much praise on here, well everyone bashes Cara Maria so much. Honestly, Jenny is more of a whiner and plays the victim card more than Cara Maria ever did. Plus, she's a poor sport and nasty to boot. She is one of my least favorite challengers. I liked her previous seasons, but season 40 showed who she really is.

The forbidden seasons have recently popped back on my box and hell yeah!!! I’m doing a rewatch! I have always wanted to rewatch the bunker season but decided to start at 33 instead and boy I’m glad I did!

So many good moments!
From Josh getting eliminated in the first ten minutes of the very first episode (unfortunately being brought back as someone else got injured.)
A stellar cast of rookies was added this season too! Boy Ashley, Georgia, Theo, Turbo and Bear.

Big names like Ashley Mitchell and Bananas were eliminated on the first few episodes. Kyle beats CT at pole wrestle.

Things I forgot :
How unbearable watching Cara Maria and Paulie talk about sex and be all over each other was. Barf. The whole season Paulie trying to peacock Kyle just for him to flop right before the finale.

How cringy Ninja was.

Nany and Hunter had a fling

Turbo has always been an over emotional little man.

I know we dislike Bear but he made for good TV unfortunately. Despite me usually liking Da’vonne…her whole situation at the reunion with Wes was crazy unnecessary and hypocritical.

Overall, great season!
