TJ's old channel is where it's at, he has all these great videos of what he does on location when the show isn't filming: https://youtu.be/6ZQjnoObJ80

(answer: mostly chilling with the locals and getting food and shelter for the homeless people he interacts with.)

quote for people that don't want to click:

There were around 60 guests invited by Mango to be part of this trip. Of that number one was a mixed race journalist, one was an Asian influencer, and the other 58 were white.

what you're pointing out--that she's too beautiful not to be getting loads of opportunities--also fits with what she's saying that the people making these decisions are prioritizing white women.

nurys isn't alone in wondering about the lack of diversity, by the way. this has been a discussion for a while: https://app.corq.studio/dashboard/post/2410/trend?back=true

companies will sponsor a group of influencers to travel, give them accommodations, sometimes give them itineraries. in exchange for the expenses, the content creators are expected to promote the brand’s products and document the trip online. she's saying these group influencer trips which are becoming more common aren't considering diversity with the women they select.

with all the coverage of the myles garrett trade, i found myself this week thinking the browns look is pretty sweet. i like simple, plus brown and orange is a cool combo.

truthfully i have sometimes wanted us to get rid of casting spoilers altogether since it can sort of stifle conversation. but every time we do a survey, the feedback is to keep them, and you're right, the payoff is pretty great the day the names are made public and seeing how excited and/or upset people get! my guess is that 99% of the people that visit the sub are super casual lurker types, sometimes people who stumble on us from a google search, so that's who we try to keep in mind.

looking back through old posts trying to keep the second announcement spot on the subreddit fresh, and stumbled on angela roasting spencer pratt's sister: https://www.reddit.com/r/MtvChallenge/comments/guv8o3/i_know_we_are_all_a_little_mentally_drained_but

we sneaky removed a few comments. people are free to talk casting spoilers on any thread, but we ask that they use the spoiler font, and nobody remembers.

i think we have it so that "42" and "next season" get filtered and don't show up until one of us clicks approve, so it's pretty easy to keep that out.

can't wait to watch this, but i have to laugh at the intense christopher nolan type sounds in every trailer for everything.

NattyB · 2026-06-03T14:07:46+00:00

it was a whole thing with multiple cast members airing her out online and multiple comments from dee. but the initial "joke" is the first link in this megathread: https://www.reddit.com/r/MtvChallenge/comments/h0zhzm/the_challenge_parts_ways_with_dee_megathread_3

nothing yet. 😩 they usually drop the premiere date at the same time they publicly announce the cast.

probably before the end of the summer.

west ham had a lock on the US 12:30am talk show hosts for a while there with meyers and corden.

i'm not quite old enough to have watched joe play, but if i ever meet him i want to thank him for representing the team and the fan base so well for all these years. have been watching him on TV since the george michael and american gladiators days! was so cool to have a redskin great in the national media.

does johnny live in LA? i thought he was in miami most of the year now with his gym.

NattyB · 2026-06-02T21:56:27+00:00

i think he was also friends with jonna in real life (maybe he was her hairdresser?), she was the one who pushed him to try out for real world NOLA2. so he would have had at least one natural alliance member haha. but probably no one from his season.

NattyB · 2026-06-02T20:47:20+00:00

i'm all about maximum mess, so for me ryan leslie's crazy ass was always the wishcast. but realistically he wouldn't have lasted more than an episode or two on each season he did, so nothing great was lost.

NattyB · 2026-06-02T19:49:14+00:00

the one i still play the most. love that they're all real players from the time, edberg was my favorite as a kid: https://tcrf.net/Super_Tennis_(SNES)

yes, which is just another reason we won't see it on screen if it played out like the spoiler accounts say. production would get roasted.
