The Challenge Hall of Fame

In 1936, Major League Baseball had their first Hall of Fame class, with five inaugural inductees getting enshrined in Cooperstown. At that point, MLB had 62 seasons of history in the rear view. MTV’s The Challenge hasn’t had that many seasons yet, but at the rate it’s going it will…

The 25 Greatest Male Players in Challenge History

To me, succeeding in The Challenge has always roughly been a 50–50 split between competition and politics. Unless you’re just a freak like Landon Lueck or Jordan Wiseley, you can’t survive on the show without a solid political game. …

Every Season of The Challenge, Ranked: #33 — Ride or Dies

Location: Buenos Aires, Argentina Host: TJ Lavin Aired: 2022–23 Champions: Devin and Tori Overall Thoughts: Lukewarm. Milquetoast. Tepid. Those are the words that come to mind about Ride or Dies, and most of the recent Challenge seasons. Ride or Dies had a solid veteran cast and a decent group of rookies, but other than a few exceptions, it was (for me, at least)…
