https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/dvdtalk...eb8ccff896.jpg We've seen two war of the worlds -- and now The Challenge is about to be total madness. Season 35 of the hit series will begin on April Fool's Day 1 -- and in the clip above, Tori warns that the "game has changed," and (appropriately) host TJ Lavin alludes to the "biggest twist" in the show's existence. And what's so funny, CT? "If you're not good here, you won't be good out there," Mattie advises, as she points to her head during the first portion of the statement. And by the looks of the intense competition and the interpersonal relationships, she is completely correct. What does host TJ Lavin have up his sleeve for the group? And how does six-time champion Johnny Bananas describe his surroundings? Watch the entire first look, share your thoughts and stay with MTV News for more Total Madness updates. Also, take a look at the entire cast -- including Survivor, The Amazing Race and Big Brother alums -- below! VETERANS Aneesa Ferreira, 13th Challenge Ashley Mitchell, 7th Challenge Cory Wharton, 7th Challenge Chris "CT" Tamburello, 17th Challenge Dee Nguyen, 3rd Challenge Jenna Compono , 8th Challenge Jennifer West, 2nd Challenge Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio, 20th Challenge Jordan Wisely, 6th Challenge Josh Martinez, 3rd Challenge Kailah Casillas , 5th Challenge Kyle Christie, 5th Challenge Mattie Breaux, 2nd Challenge Melissa Reeves, 3rd Challenge Nany Gonzalez , 9th Challenge Nelson Thomas, 6th Challenge Rogan O’Connor, 3rd Challenge Stephen Bear, 3rd Challenge Tori Deal , 4th Challenge Tula “Big T” Fazakerley , 2nd Challenge Wes Bergmann, 13th Challenge ROOKIES Asaf Goren, Big Brother Israel, So You Think You Can Dance Bayleigh Dayton, Big Brother Christopher Jordan "Swaggy C" Williams, Big Brother Faysal Shawn "Fessy" Shafaat, Big Brother, American Ninja Warrior Jay Starrett, Survivor Jennifer Lee, Amazing Race Kaycee Clark, Big Brother |

You all beat me to it. I've had other things going on this week if you've been following the news. I'm looking forward to the new season. I'm interested to see how Team Young Buck and Big Brother do against the Vets.

Re: The Challenge: Total Madness (MTV) -- premieres 4/1/20
Were they able to finish filming this?
|
Re: The Challenge: Total Madness (MTV) -- premieres 4/1/20
Yes.
Season 36 was to start in a couple of weeks though, so I'm sure that is postponed. |
Re: The Challenge: Total Madness (MTV) -- premieres 4/1/20
I wonder if they shot a reunion? They usually don't shoot those until a few weeks before the finale airs.
|
Re: The Challenge: Total Madness (MTV) -- premieres 4/1/20
Yea, like you said, they don’t shoot it until closer to the finale. So, no it wouldn’t have been yet.

Yep I'm ready. Bring on the fist fights, crying jags, and defective moral compasses.

Here's a sneak peak of where they're living this season, an underground bunker.

My body is ready!

It is upon us!

Re: The Challenge: Total Madness (MTV) -- premieres 4/1/20
I noticed they aired a commercial for the Challenge on CBS during Survivor tonight.
Good premier. I like the change of pace with the living arrangements. Nice twist reveal at the end. |

Yeah, but they never air commercials for the many MTV dreck shows in CBS prime time. I think it confirms that the company sees the show as a tent-pole franchise that has cross-over appeal and could even outgrow MTV.
Moving it off MTV... now that would be interesting... |

Moving it off MTV... now that would be interesting... With The Real World and Road Rules long gone and them pulling in people from Big Brother all over the world, various Survivor contestants from everywhere, Ninja Warrior, etc., the MTV connection is nearing extinction with every passing season. I did love the twist at the end and am kinda surprised they haven't done this sooner. I could have sworn there was a season where there was a similar twist but my memory sucks and they all now run together for me after 35 freaking seasons. :lol: You do kinda miss the emotional connection with all the newly added members. After watching someone in a full season of Real World and/or Road Rules, you felt like you kinda knew the people and it gave you a stronger connection watching many of them transition to The Challenge. But things change and if they keep having two seasons a year with many of the newbies becoming reoccurring cast members, then you can hopefully get that same kind of connection I described. |

While watching tonight's episode it became clear from the number of times they went to the blank page named Jenn that she was going to be in trouble. But every time they put her name on the screen and listed "Amazing Race" with it I was confused because even though I've watched every season of the Amazing Race I had no recollection of her, and yet here she is invited to be on the Challenge.
She isn't old enough to have been on so long ago that I forgot her, so I gave up trying to remember who she is and looked her up. She lasted exactly one episode three years ago. Her and her partner were utterly incompetent...a total disaster. There is literally NOTHING about her 10 minutes on The Amazing Race that warrants her selection for the Challenge. So this begs the question: Who she bangin? There is no other explanation. And now she has bookended her reality show competition career by once again being the first (female) eliminated in essentially the shortest time possible. |

I'm cool with them broadening their talent pool, so long as they're bringing in good contestants or eye candy which they're pretty much nailing. |

Re: The Challenge: Total Madness (MTV) -- premieres 4/1/20
I feel that Dee was almost more pathetic than Jenn when she refused to compete against her in the elimination. It was an easy win and her chance to get a red skull. I’m really enjoying this season so far. I really liked the dropping bombs out of a helicopter challenge. Jordan was pretty pathetic though. Cory destroyed him.

If someone started a drinking game where you took a shot every time one of the cast used the word "literally" you'd end up hammered by the end of the episode.
Also, Jen (West) is really tough to look at. She almost looks like a tranny. |

No comments yet? Pretty unreal to see CT taken out like that. It shows the dangers of putting yourself in. Well, at least he was a winner last season.
What good is having multiple red skulls over having just one? |
Re: The Challenge: Total Madness (MTV) -- premieres 4/1/20
Bad elimination challenge for dad bod. The poor guy could barely stand straight when it was done.
(paraphrasing) "When you guys find it, can somebody send me my back?" - CT |

Re: The Challenge: Total Madness (MTV) -- premieres 4/1/20
Remember when Beth was always the "old person" on these shows? I'm sure that CT and Bananas are probably a lot older now than she was on her last season.
I'm trying to remember how Wes got to be on The Challenge. Was he on The Real World or Road Rules. I'm thinking I might remember him on Road Rules. |

Re: The Challenge: Total Madness (MTV) -- premieres 4/1/20
I hated seeing CT go out like that since he has been my favorite for years.
Unless it was clever editing, it looked like he had the door open wide enough to squeeze in before Jay got in and I was sitting there screaming at the screen..."Go on in!" Was there a rule that the door had to be opened completely or have nothing at all on it that I missed? Or was CT just that slow? I don't think there is any advantage to having two skulls other than you eliminate one more person who may make it to final. Plus, it should put some people on alert now and no longer thinking that Jay is a lay-up and that will hopefully have different people going in instead of every guy's challenge being Jay vs. someone. I knew CT was toast when they had every single person making comments about how CT was playing smart and dominating the challenge. I knew he was toast even though it looked close because of that. I will admit it is fun seeing Bananas and Wes joining forces and getting along. That Scraggy dude and his girl have to go though. How can two people be both dull and obnoxious at the same time? Anyone think Rogan would have beaten Jay on that challenge? I don't. |

Re: The Challenge: Total Madness (MTV) -- premieres 4/1/20
Yeah, I have never watched Big Brother more than a few episodes.
I watched the very first season a little and just found it dull and repetitive. Tried a few years later and the format hadn't really changed so I just never could get into it. |
Re: The Challenge: Total Madness (MTV) -- premieres 4/1/20
Big T is so sexy.

Re: The Challenge: Total Madness (MTV) -- premieres 4/1/20
Cold War has to be one of the more dangerous weekly challenges in recent history right? Dee is quickly becoming the new Cara.
