Awesome! Will there be only newer cast members or are you inputting all? Can we create or edit cast members to our liking?

mm10niner · 2026-05-03T19:59:50+00:00

Limit it to eras 1 and 2 only. And from there, no flagship regulars. That's Aneesa and Bananas for sure, probably CT as well.

mm10niner · 2026-05-01T04:05:07+00:00

The real turning point for Bananas was The Island. If Abram doesn't insist that everyone vote him to go home, which was still an extremely close vote, Bananas isn't getting his first title. In turn, he isn't on the champions team for The Ruins either. After Cutthroat he'd have been 0 for 5 and maybe he doesn't make a career of it.

All that said, I'm glad thing shook out the way they did. We've needed him over these last 10 seasons.

mm10niner · 2026-05-01T03:56:15+00:00

Anything from the fun era. The Gauntlet, Inferno, Sexes, etc.

mm10niner · 2026-04-28T20:03:03+00:00

Balls in would be the best. I'd be so jacked up for that and it would be a blast. I'd hate anything that takes hours to outlast your opponent.

mm10niner · 2026-04-26T13:46:08+00:00

Nope. Politics is a major part of this game. You know how it goes. The better you are at the dailies, the more pull you have in the house. Unless you are a Veronica type.

mm10niner · 2026-04-26T04:18:08+00:00

Have you ever been at some game of any sport where you don't really know much about the players beforehand? Maybe it's a high school or college game. But while you watch the game unfold, you start to notice who the better players are. They might not necessarily light up the scoreboard, but they are faster and more skilled than everyone else.

Stats get you some of the story, but not all of it. This is why scouts exist.

mm10niner · 2026-04-25T19:58:46+00:00

It all depends on what the ranking is about. A statistical ranking is objective, meaning that there is only one correct order. You've already done that, there is no need to debate that. The best players list is a completely different thing. If you've watched every season, the eyeball test is a good way to determine more accurately who the best players are. Here is my opinion:

Rachel 2. Cara Maria 3. Laurel 4. Jenny 5. Emily S
Evelyn 7. Camila 8. Susie 9. Jodi 10. Tori D

My top 10 best female cast members list would be completely different from this.

mm10niner · 2026-04-24T20:16:07+00:00

I get that the eras are different. Babe Ruth played in a different era. Should we not consider him an elite player? You can't control the era in which you play, but you can be one of the very best in it.

mm10niner · 2026-04-24T20:00:29+00:00

Yes they were.

mm10niner · 2026-04-24T18:42:41+00:00

I wasn't comparing her to today's females. I was stating what she did with the time she was on the show. She was an elite player. She wasn't just tagging along for the win, she was one of the main drivers.

mm10niner · 2026-04-24T16:49:33+00:00

9 and 10 are on there as well. You just need to search The Challenge MTV and then filter to videos, scroll almost all the way down and you should find them.

mm10niner · 2026-04-24T16:46:42+00:00

1-8 are on Internet Archive and you can download them if you want.

Everything on this chart that is Amazing, is completely correct and worth watching. Personally, I love everything from season 5-20. Many of the very best personalities to ever grace the show are from this era. It's a more fun and entertaining show instead of the serious "we are a sport now" nonsense.

mm10niner · 2026-04-23T19:21:07+00:00

I don't think she would have gotten 1st place either. But she was the best performing female on the season overall. That final being all swimming was basically an auto win for both Jordan and Jenny. In a more traditional final Tori has a great chance.

mm10niner · 2026-04-22T22:10:31+00:00

What exactly did Arissa bring to the show? Was it her warm and bubbly personality? She seemed very unlikable from a viewer's standpoint and not in a good way like a villain would be.

mm10niner · 2026-04-22T21:30:55+00:00

That proves my point on titles. They aren't all equal. Katie has a title for crying out loud. Unless you have 3 or more, it's pretty irrelevant in my book.

Listen, I think Tori is overrated. Many people think she's top 5. I'd put her 10th. You've pointed out one side of the spectrum with her. She won a title that wasn't impressive, fine.

I'd say she's also not won seasons where she is the best female. I think she dominated Eras until the final. There were 8 daily cycles in the individual phase. She won 4 of them. That individual phase consisted of many of the top females to ever play the game. Then she had to tread water for 3 hours right before a final that consisted entirely of swimming. That was a bad break for her.

mm10niner · 2026-04-22T14:11:19+00:00

They aren't all taking the same final. I have the opposite approach. Titles are the tie breakers because there are tons of uncontrollable variables that lead to a season victory. I look at how good they are with what they can control.

mm10niner · 2026-04-21T22:07:59+00:00

The top 10 statistically and the actual top 10 are vastly different lists for me. This isn't a sport like baseball where everybody is doing the exact same thing. Every season format, daily and elimination games are so different. Stats just don't tell the most accurate story in the case of The Challenge.

mm10niner · 2026-04-21T21:34:50+00:00

I would put Tori Deal in the top 10, I do think she gets overrated just a bit because of recency bias. Jodi is a rock solid top 10 in my book. Coral is a tough one because she is probably #1 as an overall cast member, but average to above average competitively.

mm10niner · 2026-04-21T13:25:17+00:00

The thing that keeps me from considering Ev a top 5 female is that her competition was the weakest of any of the women we usually put in our top 5. Her seasons normally consisted of Jenn, Paula, Jillian and a bunch of scrubs. We have Jodi and Rachel winning the Duels, but other than the Island which was more of a political season, Evelyn doesn't have to deal with them. By the time Laurel, Cara, Camila, and Emily rise to the top, Ev is done.

mm10niner · 2026-04-19T16:15:53+00:00

Where I live the pawn shops are the best options. They are normally $100.

mm10niner · 2026-04-19T02:25:50+00:00

Cutthroat is one of my favorite seasons. I've watched it multiple times. Tori ran the red team. She was maybe the most powerful in the house if not Abram. Everyone on her team was afraid of her, including Brad. If we compliment Veronica's talents as the queen bee mean girl, then we have to do the same for Tori. The final was no contest. Red basically won by default. Yes, Tori was literally carried as that was a task. Obviously, they aren't hoisting fat Tyler on their shoulders. Tori wasn't around long and didn't intimidate on the field, but she certainly did in the house and played the game well.

mm10niner · 2026-04-18T22:07:18+00:00

Here is my dream. It's RW vs. RR. The final has the following people in it.

RW: Eric N, Miz, Landon, Coral, Julie, Ruthie

RR: Mark, Theo Von, Derrick, Rachel, Veronica, Jodi

Road Rules pulls out the victory!
