MTV The Challenge Hall of Fame
As you know I a big fan of MTV's The Challenge, I started following since the days it was called the Real World/Road Rules Challenge. Now that Road Rules has been gone since 2007 and Real World had a two-year hiatus even though the latter coming back on Facebook Live on June 13th. It expanded to other shows since Exes 2 with Are You the One a show which is nearly done and since then added Big Brother, Bachelorette, and Reality Shows from other countries like England and Turkey where the winner of the latest season War of the Worlds Turbo came from (he won Survivor Turkey). MTV.com released an article of the Challenge hall of fame (and all of them are alums of the Real World/Road Rules/Challenge and not the other shows) which the link is in the bottom.

Without much further ado here are my thoughts on the Challenge Hall of Fame.
Ashley M and Bananas: Yeah I'm going to start with those two for obvious reasons. Also, I want to point out there are two Ashleys who both win challenge seasons (well Ashley M won two and Ashley K won one). I like to point out I DO NOT LIKE WHAT THEY'VE DONE STEALING MONEY FROM THEIR PARTNERS WHO HELPED THEM WIN. Let's start with that BITCH BANANAS. Don't get me wrong Sarah did vote in Bananas in Exes 2 to go in elimination and wasn't smart since she and Bananas were friends but didn't Leroy do the same thing? He forgives Leroy but doesn't have the same courtesy for Sarah. Guessing you need a penis to betray Bananas though he was pretty sore at Tony though I think things are better between them. Also, he's pretty sore at Zach and that's probably not going away time soon we'll find out on season 34 which both guys are doing. Let's face it, Sarah was the best female on that season. I doubt he would have won the challenge (Rivals 3) without her even though he did win with Camila in a previous season (but I doubt he would have won with her again especially considering she got kicked out of the season). Unlike Bananas in Rivals 3, I think Ashley M would have won with a number of different guys on Final Reckoning. I understood why she did it compare to Bananas. Trust me, I want to be as sympathetic to Hunter as I am to Sarah but he made it hard because he did call her a slut and threaten her family plus him yelling at Amanda who was his ally and Georgia who was his partner on the next challenge after Final Reckoning, not good looks. Also since Hunter got revenge on Ashley M, any chance Sarah could get revenge on Bananas. Saying all that, Bananas and Ashley M do deserve the Hall of Fame (well if I was running it they wouldn't be) because of the Challenge victories (Bananas 6 and Ashley M 2 plus Bananas three finals appearances).
Kenny: The most controversial of the article because of what he was accused of. Numbers-wise, he's in because he made it to the finals in all but one of the Challenge seasons he did which included three wins. On the Ruins season (or the Runs if you're Joel McHale), he and his buddy Evan were accused of raping a female castmember with a toothbrush. Despite some of the fellow contestants saying it didn't happen but MTV did settle with her probably to avoid other skeletons in their closet. Seriously wasn't there anyone else who wasn't accused of rape?
Wes: The self-proclaimed master manipulator himself. He has two wins in his belt and five finals total (and no I'm not counting Champs vs format) including the last challenge where he beat all but two guys and mostly the guys he beat were a decade younger than him and also Wes had a three-year challenge break.
Cara Maria: One of the most polarizing competitors on the show but before Turbo she was the first solo winner of a season on Vandettas. Also, she has another win (Bloodlines) and eight finals and also was the first pick on Fresh Meat 2 with Darrell though they were the first team sent home.
Darrell: Before Bananas, He was the all-time winner with four (again before Bananas) and all those consecutively something Bananas can't say. Would have been five but he punched someone DQ'ing him from that season (again not counting the Champs vs format).
Landon: Not many people remember him because it's been a while since he's done one but he won 3 of the 4 Challenges he's done.
Sarah Greyson: Sometimes to don't need to do multiple challenge seasons to be a legend. Sarah Greyson only did the first Gauntlet and won not one, not two, not three, not four, but five eliminations against the Real World team and some of them against dudes and also on the Road Rules team (despite their best efforts to get rid of her) in the finals and winning over 25K.
Susie Meister: She did four challenges and made it to the finals in all of them. Granted, the first one she was a replacement because the person she replaced attacked her teammate and that challenge didn't have eliminations. However, the next three challenges did and she survived those and won two of them.
Aneesa: Doesn't have a win compared to the others on the list but she has two finals appearances under her belt.
I agree with nine of the names though I wouldn't have added Kenny name because of the rape accusation. I think Derrick K, CT despite his punching people in his early seasons, Brad among others would have been better choices. Also I should point Derrick K and his podcast bubby Scott Yager also is having there Challenge Hall of Fame and their first pick was Diem who was Derrick K partner on Fresh Meat and two-time finalist and having people vote on their patreon page. If you want to vote go to Patreon.com/ChallengeMania and pay 15 dollars a month. As for My Challenge Hall of Fame that would be for another post at a later date.
