Get ready for more Reality TV dramz with MTV’s The Challenge: Rivals starring former MTV Real World & Road Rules castmembers.
With over $300,000 on the line there is bound to be conflict galore as the teams fight tooth and nail for prize money and glory. MTV takes 14 teams of men and women to the jungles of Costa Rica for a series of intense challenges requiring endurance, stamina, bravery, and cunning!
Expect lots of fighting, lots of backstabbing and tantrums, relationships forming and falling apart, and old rivalries reigniting! In fact, the drama is over the top right out of the gate as the first episode features contestants flying over a waterfall! Yikes. The series also features two castmembers from the very recent Real World Las Vegas, Adam Royer and Leroy ‘Roylee’ Garrett. Oddly enough, Adam is the only cast member not pictured above. Perhaps he got kicked off early for another drunken tantrum.
One thing is for sure if these enemies don’t put down the haterade, learn to put the past behind them, and work together – they definitely won’t be bringing home the dough! For a trailer of the upcoming series, see below! The Challenge: Rivals premieres tonight on MTV at 10pm ET/PT. The season trailer and photos of the 14 teams below!
Will you be watching or are you over Kenny being on the Challenges?

God, this mess is still on?
I love this show! It’s the only good thing on MTV! Except, I believe Paula M. was from Real World Key West, not Cancun as noted. Some of these pairings don’t seem like that big of a deal. Most of the female pairs have had some drama, but have gotten along in other seasons. A couple seem like they’ve gotten in full blown screaming matches though. Most of the guys seem like an actual rival match-up… Poor Sarah getting stuck with Katelynn, she seemed really weak in the last challenge she was on…
MTV < BRAVO
I admit I really do love these challenges. I think this one will be pretty good.
did Adam get kicked off before they took the promo pic….. im not seeing him in the group pic
i think adam gets kicked off early on and is replaced. also paula was from key west.. i cant wait for this season!
I am kind of looking forward to this show. I still watch RW after all these years.
I hated this last season of RW Las Vegas.
Hope this show is exciting.
Ready to see “Mr. Beautiful” tonight!
This should be interesting… Adam and CT (teammates) hate each other… And so do Wes and Kenny… About time MTV switch it up and force people to work together LOL
I’m officially old because I don’t recognize most of the cast members in that photo. Guess it was bound to happen one of these days. I mean, I AM 40 years old. LOL!
I love these challanges!
can’t wait for 2nite!!! this is truly one of my fav shows
Finally, another challenge! I’ve been waiting for quite some time! I heard major drama this season (doesn’t every challenge have major dramz?).
These people are so old, they need to move on with their lives. I can see when they originally did the shows and they were 18 yr old college kids., but now they are 30 and playing to win some cash, and the latest ipad-so sad. Used to watch some ages ago.
I see that bully freckled old man napolean complex Wes is STILL there. What is he like 35 now?
Remember when the Real World used to be relevant? And awesome? And Cowboy Jon sang ” Truuuuuuuue storeeeeeeeeeey”?
Why do they keep bringing back CT when he’s the most vicious bully ever! He will readly beat the pulp out of anybody sober so by adding liquor it’s a done deal. If he hurts Wes or any other contestant they should sue the shit out of MTV, Bunim Murray whatever!
the challenges are the best! so excited to watch…and im sorry but the best part about this season is that all the vets from previous seasons are back. the past couple seasons have been pretty dull and i think it’s bc of the lack of familiar faces. these people may be getting old but MTV just isn’t doing a good job finding others to fill their shoes. they bring all the drama needed for these shows…so until MTV finds some better replacements, i wanna see these people!
ps offtoneverland – ur right about Paula. Key West member for sure.
I love this show! I’m so excited for this! Can’t wait to watch!!!!!!!!!!
Lmao!! Some of these cats look so different. Emmmm…..will Adam stay sober enough to compete? He is such a dumb ass. From their body language, it is safe to say that he and Leroy still don’t get along or like each other…….lol
I will tune in just because of Kenny and his HAWT self……Love Kenny……
I like that CJ is back too…..what a shit starter he is, but there will be no challenge worth watching without him.
Is that Robin???? My gosh she looks SO different and those two chicks from RW Cancun…..they look like they could use a hearty meal……
Oh, also Wes and his crazy arse…..lol. Glad he is back to start some more mess.
Why even bother to bring Tyrie? He won’t last past the first challenge……lmao.
But good to see that they didn’t bring back Big Eric……whew, I know no one was looking forward to seeing him and having him on their team……that one challenge where he fell out and cost them all the loot at the end was kinda funny…….they were fools to have kept his big ass until the end.
Anyhoo, I am ready, really couldn’t get into the last one……hopefully, this will have more drama than hooking up……
Oops, just realized that it was a cut and paste photo of Leroy and Adam……same difference…..they still can’t stand each other….lol
This is going to be gooooooood! I can’t wait to see. Whoever at MTV though this situation up should be given a promotion.
Yea I cant lie I love the challenges ESPECIALLY when Kenny is on.
I am way too old to be watching this mess, but I still do! I haven’t watched a Real World since they were in Hawaii and I don’t think they even do Road Rules anymore but I always watch the challenges.
I am down for some Wes vs. Kenny!
@ 16 ! That was my favorite cast, lol. I found it on youtube and still watch some episodes. Love Aaron & Dom! Remember Jon on the beach in his Hulk outfit? Freaking hilarious!
Kenny is still smoking hot…….
I love the Challenge shows…it’s the only “reality” show my husband can stomach enough to watch w/me! lol
Dear whoever wrote this article.. Paula is from Real World Key West.. just fyi (and yes, details matter to avid fans!!)
They all have a future in porn
Love the episode last night……I knew Adam wasn’t going to last long…..the bitchass that he is. His attack on Ty was so weak…..I don’t know why he thinks he is tough…..Ty would have laid his ass out……
Ty’s body is SICK…..both he and Leroy have awesome bods…..
Funny how Robin and Nessa were trying to cry their way out of going into the pit to face off…..lmao. Didn’t know Robin had a kid…..
I like this format because they will have to get along with someone they can’t stand to win. Love how they paired Wes with Kenny.
Speaking of Kenny, I just about died laughing when he said Tyrie sleeps with his sneakers on and that that chick was gonna be smelling like bacon for the rest of her life…..rotflmao…….
I am missing Landon the competitor….wish he was here…….and for the women…..Tina…..wish she too was here.
Oh, SO GOOD to see TJ made a full recovery and is back hosting…..I hope he will give up that dangerous sport.
I am so stoked that the challenges are back and good ole CT is too…..lmao………
Finally, some quality reality TV.
YAY for shows like this, Survivor, Big Brother and The Voice.
I hope jenn and mandi win this time they both deserve it ………but they aren’t even big rivals
No recaps for the RR/RW/Challenge shows? That is so unfortunate- they would be hilarious!
i like this show but seriously WES was such a dumbass! he only did the shit he did because he was on TV and wanted to look like a badass! which he isnt i wish CT kicked his ass and the other guys that were scared of him too! guys like wes are preppy white guys that think they can do whatever because their mommy and daddy will get them out of anything anf because obviously they didnt discipline him
