MTV's "The Challenge" Thread

All-Stars III was pretty lame but the final didn't disappoint.

The Challenge: USA premiered. It's got all the Survivor, Amazing Race, and BB peeps in it.

The Challenge USA was so disappointing. Love that Danny won but I can't stand that so many losers are on this show. I hate the partners thing in the finale. It is so dumb that Desi loses because Enzo is a coward. It has nothing to do with her. I hate that the girls got to/had to do certain stages alone. The way it shook out was completely unfair and the only girl I disliked won. It's so stupid.

The Challenge USA is a new show on CBS (network TV). It is not the same as MTV's The Challenge (cable). That is a different show with a completely different vibe and different audience. This isn't rocket science.

The show (The Challenge USA) ended up drawing 2.2 million viewers and also a 0.4 rating in the 18-49 demographic. These are drops from the 3.7 million viewers and the 0.8 rating that Big Brother 24 generated for its premiere, but we think that the network expected that.

Challenge USA final episode was 1.76 million viewers. Down 0.5 million from 2.2 million debut.

BB24 9/14 was 3.85 million. Unchanged and/or up from debut.

I don’t watch either of these shows but felt compelled to post the data you 2 are squabbling over.

BB24 > Challenge USA

lulz

Big Brother is, at this posting, roughly down 24% over past year. They (paramount) had over sold speculative demographics and numbers they never hit. Big problem for them.

He doesn't care about what's real or true and that's why I've stopped responding. I've said from the start that the business has changed and that Big Brother is an absolute goliath in streaming in terms of minutes viewed. I assume The Challenge USA is also doing well on the P+ platform (and I was never arguing BB vs. TCU, all I ever said is that BB is doing just fine). Looking at the TV ratings is only a fraction of the picture.

Man I thought the universe had punished me enough by making Russ decline on teams that I hate, but now I have to watch Jordan drag Aneesa around? **** me. Should change the name to "Ride or Dies plus the GOAT and WOAT"

This could be the year Fessy or Devin/Tori win. Devin and Tori are kind of the perfect match, Brains no Brawn + Brawn no Brains

Sup **** face. I think your boy might win this year, as long as his partner isn't garbage. No CT, and Bananas and Jordan with 2 never gonna win partners. I'm surprised nobody tried to go OP, Fessy/Kaycee, Jordan/Laurel for examples.

Btw I have a bad feeling the vets will just team up again. Unless Bananas or Jordan go rogue I could see Bananas/Nany, Jordan/Aneesa, Tori/Devin, Kaycee/whoever, Laurel/whoever, Fessy/whoever plus maybe Nelson/whoever.

Some messiness in there but also everyone is heavily attached to some other person in the group. Bananas, Jordan, Laurel...Aneesa, Tori, Devin...Kaycee, Nany, Fessy.

I just saw Georgia and Theo got dropped 2 weeks before filming was to start. Thank God, why would you possibly want a top 5 guy and girl in both competition and entertainment value? Bullet dodged.

Sidenote: that's means Theo is finally cleared, hope we see him soon. Hes a big challenge what if, if the eye accident never happens I think hes easily a top 3 guy every year.

Side sidenote: I hope Turbo gets smashed in an elimination, dudes being his usual weirdo self in the previews.

The good...Nelson forgetting his birthday, early but most of the rookies seem fun and likeable, Kaycee asking where's her GF only to get DQ'd right before she got there, Fessy attempting to "talk game" will never not make me laugh, no Josh, the elimination draw has so many possibilities to shake up the game.

The Bad...Turbo acting like a weirdo on the boat, Nelson's toast, spoiling the elimination by showing Jordan and Tori arguing, the daily was dumb and boring, Turbo acting like a weirdo again, knowing production will somehow screw up the potential of the draw.

Devin would have become my favorite player of all time, if when Turbo was spazzing he was like, "Turbo what's 8 times 9"

It's funny bringing out Jordan first, cause you know everyone is thinking oh crap the game just got harder. Then they'll bring out Aneesa as his partner, and be like oh never mind.
