Fans of The Challenge voiced their frustration with the upcoming All Stars 5 season, which features a return for the Rivals theme.

Viewers previously saw several Rivals seasons of MTV’s The Challenge, with the first premiering in June 2011.

Johnny Devenanzio and Tyler Duckworth won for the men’s side, while Evelyn Smith and Paula Meronek won for the women.

Rivals II came to MTV just a few years later, with Chris “Ct” Tamburello and Wes Bergmann winning. On the women’s side, Paula Meronek won again, this time with Emily Schromm as her partner.

In 2016, viewers got a third Rivals season on MTV, which featured one of reality TV’s most infamous and memorable moments. Bananas left his partner without any prize money due to a twist after they finished in first place.

While many fans likely loved those particular editions of The Challenge, plenty disapprove of a significant change to All Stars.

Acclaimed singer Mary J. Blige is preparing for her 2025 For My Fans tour, set to start later this month.

In her announcement on Sept. 30, 2024, Blige shared, “I am so excited to kick off this tour. I have amazing fans and am so grateful for all of the love and support they have given me throughout the years.”

She continued, “This tour is for them, and I cannot wait to be able to travel tall these cities and see everyone,” and added, “I am in such a place of immense gratitude and peace at this moment, so also having the chance to release my new album Gratitude on Nov. 15 ahead of this tour is really special to me.”

Blige will be accompanied on tour by special guests Ne-yo and Mario.

With 27 dates, the tour is slated to kick off in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Jan. 30. Blige will continue to perform across the country,...

After her sudden exit and hiatus from MTV’s The Challenge several seasons ago, Ashley “Millionaire” Mitchell will return to compete on All Stars Rivals.

The fifth installment of the spin-off series features cast members who team up with individuals from the show with whom they have a feud or rivalry.

She’ll be among the show’s former champions returning to try to win another edition of the popular competition series, but she likely has her work cut out for her.

The two-time Challenge winner last appeared on MTV’s Spies, Lies & Allies, which included castmates Amanda Garcia, Tori Deal, and Aneesa Ferreira.

Based on their history, she’ll team up with Aneesa for Rivals, which may have included some arguments during their previous seasons.

That means Ashley and Aneesa must put their differences aside to win the final and some significant cash.

Ashley comments on her return for...

Love Island: All Stars has come under fire for casting a married man. Marcel Somerville will be entering the villa alongside other former Love Island UK stars when the All Stars format returns in January 2025.

Fans were left shocked when they learned that 39-year-old Marcel is still legally married to his wife, Rebecca Vieira. The producers defended the casting, with the executive producer Mike Spencer insisting Marcel was a single man and that fans should "give the guy a break."

Chatting to The Sun, the producer clarified that "He had a wife! Marcel is single. He's ready to mingle." He added that Marcel, who was previously in the hip-hop band Blazin Squad, was "a really good guy" who was "looking for love." Despite Mike's kind words, fans are still rooted in anger over the casting decision.

Disgraced RuPaul's Drag Race Season 2 winner Tyra Sanchez has come under fire for the distasteful jokes he made after the death of RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne.

Tyra, who now goes under the name James Ross, reignited his online feud with The Vivienne five years later — mere hours after her death was announced to the public.

The Vivienne died on Jan. 5, 2025, as announced by her publicist and manager Simon Jones on social media.

As fans paid tribute to The Vivienne, real name James Lee Williams, James Ross used the moment to circle back to a previous feud they shared, as reported by Collider.

In July 2020, The Vivienne called out Tyra on X. “Bet Tyra was fuming when she realized Netflix spoiled the win, too,” the Welsh-born drag queen noted, in reference to her series of the franchise appearing on Netflix...

Boston Rob Mariano is a Survivor legend but has also become well-known for appearances on various other reality competition shows.

Rob finished tenth place on Survivor: Marquesas, but the fans loved him.

Rob was invited back for Survivor: All-Stars, where he played the game hard, pushed boundaries, and made it to the end.

The methods Rob used to succeed on Survivor 8 came at a price. He admittedly “killed friendships” and left a wake of destruction.

Luckily for Rob, the season ended happily, as he wound up with a wife in Survivor 8 winner Amber Brkich. He didn’t win the $1 million prize, but did score a new best friend for life.

Later, Rob played on Survivor 20: Heroes vs. Villains and then won Survivor: Redemption Island. But he still thinks back to his time on All-Stars.

Rob also appeared on The Amazing Race and Deal or No Deal Island, and some...

Spoilers ahead from The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras season finale.

Weeks and weeks of competitions and eliminations and miles upon miles of swimming have all come down to the two-part season finale of The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras. Even though the winners have been crowned and we can now look ahead to the upcoming new season of All Stars, there's still some unfinished business to attend to for season 40: The drama-filled reunion!

In the end, Jordan won for the men, while Jenny and Rachel tied for first place for the women. The Karma Vote helped propel Rachel from third place to tied for first, resulting in Michele taking third place, though she was one point away from a three-way tie for first (and two points from winning!). The contestants will surely get into the nitty gritty of the results when they reunite.

After months of watching every unpredictable moment unfold on The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras, the franchise's biggest season yet officially came to an end. The two-part season finale began on Jan. 1 and concluded on Jan. 8 with the crowning of a male and female winner. There's no spoilers here on who came out victorious, but let's just say it was an exciting end to the season!

Just like in the past, once one season of The Challenge concludes on MTV, we can expect another season to arrive shortly after. However, rather than having to wait a handful of months until the next season begins, we only have to wait a couple weeks. While it's not a new season of the flagship series, The Challenge: All Stars will be back with two major changes.

First of all, for the first time in its five-season run, The Challenge: All Stars won't...

There's no getting around it, Disney is expensive. Even a short trip to the Walt Disney World Resort can set a single guest back thousands of dollars. That said, Disney has a wide variety of ways to stay and play that won't break the bank... if you know how to play the system.

Staying at a Walt Disney World Resort hotel comes with perks and experiences not available at other lodgings, but you don't have to spend like Cinderella to enjoy the magic. In fact, the All-Star Resorts have much more to offer than some might think.

Apart from the campgrounds at Fort Wilderness, the All-Star Resorts are typically the cheapest places to stay at Wdw. That doesn't mean they're necessarily poor quality, but they don't have as many bells and whistles as some of the other properties.

A new year always brings resolutions, and for The Challenge star Laurel Stucky, one involves focusing on herself.

She appeared in recent seasons of the competition series, as she appeared in her first-ever installment of the All Stars spinoff, and won it, then returned on MTV’s Battle of the Eras.

Unfortunately, it was a disappointing Season 40 for the multi-time winner, as she went home during a daily challenge purge.

However, she seemed to joke about how she wouldn’t exhaust herself under the current conditions.

In addition, she may not have been in ideal shape to compete with the other stars in the 40-member cast.

So what’s next for The Challenge star? Laurel recently told fans she’s “making a commitment” to herself in 2025.

As Survivor's host from the very start, Jeff Probst was there to see things like the first time one of the reality show's players was medically evacuated. The thing that new fans who are still figuring out which seasons to watch first don't know is that Jeff also became Survivor's executive producer and showrunner. As a result of all of his roles, Jeff has had a lot of influence over Survivor's best seasons, he's dealt with the show's best players ever, and he's gotten to announce every winner ever. Even though Jeff has helped Survivor become a success, he has made mistakes too.

TheThings has exclusively interviewed the Survivor Hall of Famer Richard Hatch about his time on the show. One of the most startling things that Richard exclusively told TheThings is about how Jeff Probst screwed him during Survivor: All-Stars. It is important to note that...

There are several RuPaul’s Drag Race winners at this point. But which ones are the most popular in the fandom?

The long-running RuPaul-hosted drag competition show has exploded in popularity over the past decade, with countless spinoffs and international franchises, including All Stars editions.

Many of the queens featured on the series have been able to turn their art into massively successful brands, and they’ve also attained huge followings on social media. Instagram, especially, is a huge platform for the Drag Race queens to promote and showcase their makeup skills, performances and comedy routines.

Katy Perry is no stranger to the world of reality television. For the past seven seasons, she has sat in the judges' chair on American Idol. After many years in the music business, Katy has proven herself to be an ideal choice for the role.

However, the pop star has now revealed that she will be moving on from the series. While she admits to being excited about entering a new chapter in her life and career, Katy has hinted she won't be away from Idol for good.

Katy also isn't stepping away from reality television completely either. RuPaul's Drag Race is making its return for its 17th season and Katy will serve as guest judge for the premiere episode. It's an appearance that has been a long time coming. Katy has been open about her love for the show and desire to make an appearance. Now it looks like...

Since Top Chef premiered, there has been a lot of drama around the hit reality show. After all, former competitors have been arrested for disturbing crimes, cheated on the show, behaved very strangely, and fans believe some winners didn't deserve it. However, even though Top Chef has had bad guest judges and faced criticism, it is widely regarded as one of the best reality shows for good reason.

Despite how incredible Top Chef's production is, there is something about the show that doesn't stick with a lot of viewers. With that in mind, it is fascinating to look at why Top Chef can often be so forgettable.

Kam Williams rose to fame on The Challenge due to her intense ability to compete in the show’s daily challenges and eliminations.

She debuted on MTV’s Are You the One? 5 before joining the competition series and showing her athletic skills.

Many fans quickly admired Kam for her no-nonsense attitude with castmates and for not backing down from any competitor.

While she’s yet to win a final, she reached them in three of her five seasons of The Challenge. Kam also boasts an 8-2 elimination record and 16 daily challenge wins.

As she continued to appear on the competition show, her confidence and courage likely increased with experience. Kam also gained new friends, allies, and a boyfriend, Leroy Garrett.

According to a recent story by one of her castmates, Kam had a secret she wanted to keep from production. It may have given her extra courage to compete and entertain viewers.

Another installment of The Challenge: All Stars is on the way, featuring a cast of reality television royalty paired as rival teammates.

The Challenge: All Stars 5 will bring the popular Rivals twist to the competition show’s format.

On Wednesday, The Challenge revealed the complete cast, including stars from Big Brother, The Real World, Road Rules, and other reality TV programs.

Among those returning to the competition franchise is Ashley “Millionaire” Mitchell, last seen on MTV’s Spies, Lies & Allies.

Her comeback arrives after breaking The Challenge rules in an unaired incident, resulting in Ashley’s mysterious “deactivation” that season.

In addition, viewers will see icons, including Da’Vonne Rogers, Veronica Portillo, Katie Cooley, Shane Landrum, Frank Sweeney, and Beth Stolarczyk.

The Challenge: All Stars 5 to feature rival teammates

All Stars 5 will feature 26 competitors in its cast in pairs format, where partners have a rivalry between them, whether during the show or away from it.

On the heels of the legendary 40th season of The Challenge, the hit reality competition franchise brings its fan-favorite rivals twist to The Challenge All Stars. In a series first, the new season pairs up memorable power players and redemption seekers with their biggest rivals. The Challenge All Stars: Rivals will premiere Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 8 p.m. Et/Pt on MTV.

The All Stars spinoff series premiered on Paramount+ on April 1, 2021. Nostalgic fans made this edition an instant hit, and after four seasons on the streamer, the fifth cycle will head back to the MTV mothership. Previous winners of All Stars were Yes Duffy (Season 1), Mj Garrett & Jonna Mannion (Season 2), Wes Bergmann & Jonna Mannion (Season 3), and Laurel Stucky (Season 4).

Since Survivor has dedicated fans who know things like which player was medically evacuated first, there are a lot of debates about the show. Fans of Jeff Probst's beloved reality show who are no longer figuring out which season to watch first love to debate things like which season is the best and who the greatest players are. Another debate is whether Tony Vlachos is the best Survivor winner ever or if the cop who almost got fired from the force is overrated.

Since Jeff Probst is already planting seeds for Survivor 50, the upcoming season has also been the subject of debates. When "Chaos" Kass McQuillen wasn't busy calling Woo Hwang out, she responded to some of Jeff's comments about Survivor 50 by stating her opinion that Tony is overrated.

Jemmye Carroll called out comments from her former castmate, who suggested he flirted with her to stay relevant even though he might not be genuinely interested.

The former Real World star hasn’t appeared on The Challenge since the All Stars 3 spinoff, and she’s wondering why she keeps getting mentioned on a particular podcast.

A recent episode of Zach Nichols Podcast featured Nehemiah Clark, fresh off his appearance on MTV’s Battle of the Eras.

During the episode, Nehemiah said he focused on each of his appearances on the competition show as if it were his last.

Therefore, he would do whatever was necessary to stay relevant as part of the show’s cast.

That seemingly included talking to people he usually wouldn’t and flirting with Jemmye while on the show.

Peacock is in conversation with ITV America over a third Love Island spin-off, David George has revealed.

The boss of ITV America said chatter about another new version of the popular reality series demonstrates the importance of the Peacock brand following Comcast’s move to spin off a number of its cable nets and news networks.

ITV America already makes Love Island Games and Love Island: All Stars for Peacock, along with the original U.S. version, which has been airing on the streamer since 2022 and previously ran on CBS. ITV Studios created the original Love Island, which has sold around the world and still airs in the UK.

Among the Survivor fan base, there are a lot of topics about the reality show that are hotly debated. Which seasons are the best, who the best players ever are, and how to rank every winner are all examples of that. However, once fans are past the point of figuring out which seasons to watch first, they tend to agree that seasons with returning players are exciting. After all, fans who know who the first player to be medically evacuated was love to see their favorites return.

Ever since Survivor premiered, Jeff Probst has returned for every season, which is part of the reason he is the most important reality TV host ever. Considering he is part of every season, it is amazing to know that Jeff once wanted to ban returning players from Survivor.

The music documentary Takin’ Care of Business took care of business at the inaugural Round Top Film Festival in Texas.

The film about Canadian rock musician Randy Bachman – founder of the bands The Guess Who and Bachman-Turner Overdrive – earned the Audience Award at the debut event in the small town 75 miles east of Austin. The feature directed by Tyler Measom explores how Bachman searched for decades for a precious musical instrument that was stolen from him – his beloved 1957 Gretsch 6120 guitar on which he wrote the hits “American Woman,” “Takin’ Care of Business,” and “You Ain’t Seen Nothin’ Yet.”

“We are so honored to receive the Audience Award from the Round Top Film Festival!” said Russell Wayne Groves, producer of Takin’ Care of Business. “From the incredible festival founders, Shanna and Skylar Schanen, all the way to the amazing volunteers who kept things running smoothly, we are just humbled...

Big Brother fans can watch former houseguests on a range of shows this winter, giving everyone replacement shows for Reindeer Games.

As previously reported by Monsters and Critics, Big Brother: Reindeer Games 2024 was canceled. The show could return in 2025 but has been shelved for now.

Reindeer Games debuted in 2023 and featured 12 former houseguests. Nine former players competed for a nice cash prize; three were co-hosts.

Unfortunately, a new season of The Amazing Race (debuting in 2025) lacks Big Brother alums.

Many teams of Big Brother houseguests have competed in seasons of The Amazing Race, and two couples have won. Jessica Graf and Cody Nickson from BB19 won The Amazing Race 30; Claire Rehfuss and Derek Xiao from BB23 won The Amazing Race 34.

Big Brother 27 casting has also begun, so fans who want to compete can apply for the Summer 2025 season.

During The Challenge: Battle of the Eras, several alliances were formed involving new friends and former rivals.

Viewers already loved or hated the Vacation Alliance, which featured Devin Walker, Tori Deal, Josh Martinez, and Kaycee Clark.

However, new alliances arrived, including the Ladies of Leisure (LOLs), which featured Michele Fitzgerald, Olivia Kaiser, and Nia Moore.

In Season 40’s recent episode, Olivia described the trio’s mutual interests in shopping, designer items, and expensive vacations.

Johnny Bananas’ crew, Bananas Angels, also appeared in the recent episode during Jordan, Michele, and Olivia’s discussion about trying to cut the head off the snake.

The group later had a toast at the bar, as Aviv discussed in a confessional that they’d been a close group throughout the season so far.

Bananas Angels appear at Season 40 reunion

As Monsters and Critics recently reported, The Challenge 40 reunion was filmed last week in Amsterdam, with many top cast members attending.

Makensy Manbeck finished as the runner-up on Big Brother 26, getting to the final two after winning an amazing number of competitions.

Having Big Brother producers invite Makensy to return for a future season seems like a given. Makensy might even be a great addition to a new season of Big Brother: Reindeer Games.

But she might not be interested in that opportunity. Makensy has made it known that she would walk if she found out a future season included a fellow BB26 cast member.

Maybe that sentiment will change now that everyone is free from the Big Brother house. And maybe public perception will also impact how she interacts with them in the future.

So who is that person that Makensy wants nothing to do with? It’s Angela Murray. Yes, the same Angela who finished as one of the top three vote-getters for America’s Favorite Houseguest.

Project Runway fans are rejoicing, as Bravo's reality TV competition show is coming back ... albeit not to Bravo.

In reality television terms, Project Runway is a true Og it premiered almost 20 years ago, at the dawn of the reality television era, in December 2004.

It debuted with a notable roster of judges, including supermodel Heidi Klum, fashion design legend Tim Gunn, and designer Michael Kors.

Project Runway deviated from many reality shows of its day by focusing on a fascinating niche fashion design.

The premise of Project Runway was not entirely dissimilar to run of the mill competition shows, as each season featured 12 aspiring fashion designers as contestants, slowly whittled down to a small handful for a final competition.

Each week, Project Runway's aspiring designers would participate in challenges and display their pieces on the show's titular runway.

They include show winners Johnny Bananas, Laurel Stucky, Jordan Wiseley, Chris “Ct” Tamburello, and Cara Maria Sorbello.

While he’s retired from the show, he’s been visible, appearing on Bananas’ podcast and expressing his opinions on social media.

With the former Real World star still heavily involved in the show’s fandom, some might think he’s contemplating a return to the competition.

As their recent online remarks clearly show, there’s no love lost between The Challenge castmates Laurel Stucky and Wes Bergmann.

Monsters and Critics reported about Wes’ recent comments that Laurel is “not good” at The Challenge regarding her entertainment value or growth over her seasons.

While she’s won several seasons, Wes also suggested she wouldn’t be good at competing on the show if she were the same size as most of her female castmates.

His remarks arrived during a podcast with his rival-turned-friend, former castmate Johnny Bananas, who strongly defended his friend and Season 40 castmate.

Despite that, Wes continued to point out how Laurel has had “opportunities” to showcase growth throughout her time on The Challenge, but he hasn’t “seen it” occur.

After fans mentioned Wes’s criticisms and comments to Laurel on social media, she fired back with some thoughts of her own.

“America’s Got Talent” is TV’s only competition show that embraces all forms of variety acts, whether you’re a singer, a comedian, a magician, an aerialist, or anything in between. Throughout its nearly two decades on NBC, seven solo singers have claimed victory, with the most recent one being Season 14’s Kodi Lee. (See the “AGT” winners list.) However, there are four specific categories that have yet to win the top prize of $1 million and a headline show in Las Vegas. Can any of these types of acts make “AGT” history during the Season 19 finale on Tuesday, September 24?

First up, here’s a refresher on this year’s Top 10 finalists: singer Richard Goodall, quick-change artist Solange Kardinaly, air-dance group Airfootworks, dance crew Brent Street, singer Dee Dee Simon, acrobatic group Hakuna Matata Acrobats, comedian Learnmore Jonasi, dog act Roni Sagi & Rhythm, aerial duo Sebastián & Sonia, and drone group Sky Elements.

During the fourth season of Survivor, Jeff Probst's beloved reality TV show introduced fans to Sean Rector and Vecepia Towery. Since then, there have been many seasons for fans to rank, lots of great players, and far too many people who've been medically evacuated from the show.

Now that new fans have to figure out which Survivor seasons to watch first, many people have forgotten about Vecepia and Sean. However, that isn't the fault of the fans who no longer think of Sean and Vecepia. Instead, that is proof of why Sean deserved to be outraged by how he and Vecepia were treated by Survivor.

Why Sean Rector Should Have Played Survivor Again

When most Survivor fans think about the show's earliest seasons, it is the first three that come to mind. After all, the first three seasons were won by highly memorable players like Richard Hatch, Tina Wesson,...

In the years since Jeff Probst began hosting Survivor, the reality TV show has aired many seasons of varying quality. As a result of that longevity, fans who are no longer worried about which seasons to watch first tend to know a lot about the show. For example, many Survivor fans know which player was the first to be medically evacuated and that Rupert Boneham was very popular.

Unfortunately for the show's producers, Rupert has spoken out against how Jeff has changed Survivor. The fact that he spoke out like that is kind of funny, however, as it can easily be argued that Rupert's popularity almost ruined Survivor forever.

Rupert Boneham's Extreme Popularity Could Have Ruined Survivor

During Survivor: Pearl Islands, fans very quickly began to love Rupert Boneham. The season's early episodes quickly gave viewers good reasons to think that Rupert was lovable and a lot of fun.

The Big Brother 26 cast evicted Tucker Des Lauriers to finish Week 6.

Makensy Manbeck won the AI Arena Challenge, gaining safety, which left Tucker and Angela Murray exposed on the block.

Several players felt it was time to flip the house on Tucker, and they voted out the person they felt was the biggest threat to them.

Tucker made a huge mistake by volunteering to go on the block again, but he courted the challenge that came with it.

Host Julie Chen Moonves weighed in on Tucker in a new interview she had with Entertainment Weekly.
