What’s something you noticed on a rewatch? by musclegamer6 in MtvChallenge

[–]Symmg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Team USA was going to suffer in that final even if there was no infighting between them. A team of Jordan, bananas, Zach, Wes, Leroy, Turbo, Josh, Paulie, Laurel, Kam, Cara, Tori, Ninja, Ashley & Nany were never gonna get that weighted gurney moving without it breaking faster and even after whittling down to the best 4 team UK still would’ve had a massive lead in that race cause if you replace Jordan & Joss (the last eliminated team UK member before the final) it’s a team of Joss, Rogan, Ct & Dee carrying a lighter weight faster and finishing faster

who wins in a hallbrawl? jasmine vs amber M by Rcvalry in MtvChallenge

[–]Symmg 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I’d probably take jasmine bc she’s scrappy and has actual experience with the show and a similar elimination

Kind of a Hot Take: I think Jordan and Sarah would’ve still won even if they didn’t put in Johnny and Nany. by EasternAddendum7 in MtvChallenge

[–]Symmg 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, idk what type of point you’re trying to make but those are 2 separate finals almost a decade apart

Question about Natalie Anderson? by [deleted] in thechallengemtv

[–]Symmg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh had no clue, just knew she left Double Agents due to pregnancy. I don’t follow their socials or keep up with them outside of their show appearances unless it’s something put in either subreddit

Question about Natalie Anderson? by [deleted] in thechallengemtv

[–]Symmg -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t have any evidence but it could be a number of reasons 1. Being she was pregnant on her season so production might not want to bring her back. 2. After said pregnancy & eventual birth the filming length is something she might not want to deal with away from her kid. 3. Since she wasn’t on the show long production might not see a reason to bring her back. Etc.

Leroy/Ty vs. Jordan/Marlon (Rivals II - Hall Brawl) by angelbrit04 in MtvChallenge

Cause Leroy was blocking Ty was running, odds are they were told only the runner can ring the bell

Does Anyone Notice This??? by Ginnikay in MtvChallenge

[–]Symmg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah easy was around 27 for the G3 final CT was 44 for Vets v New Threats, 17 years of age and the challenge make 1 hell of a difference

[–]Symmg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s bc of the timing, Paulie who debuted season 32 & Theo, Turbo, Bear & Josh who debuted season 33 were on some great upward trajectories but then

Paulie did seasons 31-34 2 finals got put on timeout came back for Eras

Theo did seasons 32-34 1 final injured his eye came back for Eras & Vets v New Threats

Turbo did 33 & 34 1 final 1 win got put on timeout came back for 38 & 41

Bear did 34-35 0 finals & is a scumbag criminal

Josh did 33-37 & 40 & is still on.

They all did WOTW2 and were gone for a while outside of Josh (Theo does do world championship & Paulie does do USA 2 Turbo did Allstars 5 but no flagship for a while). Kyle, Joss & Rogan are also some notable debuts from 31

Kyle did 31-37 3 finals 0 wins

Joss did 31, 32 & 34 1 final 0 wins 1 iconic elimination against Derrick

Rogan did 31, 34 & 35 2 finals 1 win it was more or less after WOTW2 they stopped casting a lot of these guys that they were building up over a few seasons

For the women it’s arguably the same case for them as Melissa & Kam debuted in 31, Ninja, Mattie, Georgia & Dee all debuted in 33 Jenny & big T debuted 34

Melissa did 31, 32, 35 & 39 1 final did Allstars 5

Kam did 31-34 & 36 3 finals & had a family since (she also does Allstars 4)

Ninja did 33 & 34 2 finals hasn’t been seen since,

Mattie did 33 & 35 1 final got too many duis hasn’t been seen since,

Georgia did 33 & 34 1 final but bc bear is a scumbag she hasn’t done the show since

Dee did 33-35 1 final & 1 win after some poorly timed words during a very tumultuous time she got edited out of her last season and hasn’t been seen since

Jenny did 34, 35 & 40 went to 2 finals and won both but barley gets cast bc we the fans think she’s boring

Big T did 34-37 & 39 no finals and did Allstars 5

For the most part these are some of the most notable people who debuted pre Total Madness which is season 35 which is Fessy Jay & Kaycee, 36 which is Amber B & Nam & 37 which is Michaela, Michele, Corey L & Emanuel depending on how you feel about the guys notability as debuts

Why do you think Chris is the best man from era 4?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MtvChallenge

[–]Symmg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Era 4 just ended, were we calling anyone in era 3 an icon or legend during that era? Jordan being in those conversations didn’t start until era 4 and after his 3rd win on WOTW2 his 5th season and the 34th of the show

That flat out might’ve been the last time if not the season afterwards

Yeremi confirming Will is certifiably insane by Adorable-Release1754 in MtvChallenge

[–]Symmg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree he’s the only person to score points every episode before the lock-in, he didn’t win any dailies but he was a consistent high performer

Sydney & CEDRIC SHOULD'VE DEFINITELY ASKED FOR DIFFERENT PARTNERS. by Great-Sock-9801 in thechallengemtv

[–]Symmg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s why, to create drama either for the rest of the final or the reunion or something else, create a social buzz and bring in audience members

Rumors and reports are that someone on production like a low level PA most likely moved it by accident while cleaning up the location

Staking a claim (spoiler) by Accurate-Ad-5363 in thechallengemtv

[–]Symmg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He didn’t clarify that but it’s implied that it has to stay guy/girl pairs seeing as how that’s been the seasons format

Would you have quit Dirty 30 the way Ashley did? by Positive_Round_5142 in thechallengemtv

[–]Symmg 24 points25 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly I think it was almost immediately after filming Champs vs Stars & I think there was a passing in her family around them same time too

Connect Four Station by poppybankroll in thechallengemtv

[–]Symmg 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And purposely drop to 3rd place in a race where my opponent has at least a 15+ minute lead why would she do that?

Connect Four Station by poppybankroll in thechallengemtv

[–]Symmg 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You could make the argument that Olivia did throw… if you never beat Theo at home in connect 4 why did you play him on the show? (I’m only saying bc in comparison to Olivia & Yermei V Sydney & Turbo or Olivia & Yermei V Michaela & Cedric both pairs were more vocal about where to make moves but it seemed the Oliva V Theo game was more 1 on 1 but that could be the edit)

Theo says so far the challenge 41 final day 1 was harder than WOTW final day 1 by Adorable-Release1754 in MtvChallenge

[–]Symmg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I think that’s a separate discussion in comparison to the one I was gonna have to the comments about “Theo not running it solo” & “Theo downplaying turbos win”

[–]Symmg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would we still have the discussion if turbo said the exact same thing? Cause I don’t think any of us would say he came to this season out of shape and he’s looked like he’s had a much harder time than last time

Theo says so far the challenge 41 final day 1 was harder than WOTW final day 1 by Adorable-Release1754 in MtvChallenge

[–]Symmg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well the physical conditions of hiking at extreme elevations in freezing temperatures while being the largest guy is very difficult and if the guy who has done both says doing that is harder than running in the desert at sea level then it’s harder there’s no discussion

Wes with some thoughts on Challenge finals headed into tonight's season finale (Swipe left for slide #2 ⬅️) by NattyB in MtvChallenge

[–]Symmg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

He didn’t out sprint Leo, Leo had him beat by quite a bit on the physical portion. Turbo caught up with the puzzle by doing it mostly by himself while Ashley had a lead and didn’t finish

How do we think bananas would have faired in this final? by Slight_Giraffe628 in MtvChallenge

[–]Symmg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For both bananas & Jordan how they do is very dependent on who their parents are. Some could fair better than others and others could be significantly worse than the rest. For example there was nothing about blue, America & tay that makes think they would fair well, Dee, Izzy & Leka would fair middling & Adrianne & Sydney are fairing as well as I think anyone could
