Every Season of The Challenge, Ranked: #5 — Fresh Meat II

Location: Whistler, British Columbia, Canada

Host: TJ Lavin

Aired: 2010

Champions: Landon and Carley

Overall Thoughts: I don’t want to boil such a great season down to one storyline, but it’s impossible to discuss this season without talking about Kenny vs. Wes.

It can’t be overstated how big of a rivalry this was coming into the season, and it more than delivered. From a narrative standpoint, Wes (and Evelyn) vs. Kenny is one of the greatest season-long arcs in Challenge history. The two came into the season with a lot of bad blood toward Mr. Beautiful and launched an all-out assault against him.

But Kenny (of course with major help from his partner Laurel) methodically dismantled the massive dominant alliance, culminating in Wes and Evelyn having to face each other in elimination.

Yes, this is a Fresh Meat season, but this season is much more about the battle between the vets than the rookies.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

• Wes convincing Kenny to send Darrell/Cara Maria into the first elimination
• Wes finding out Theresa’s first choice was Kenny
