Rarely would a betting man put his money down on the oldest steed in the game, but on the latest episode of Spies, Lies and Allies, Chris Tamburello, a 41-year-old who first appeared on The Real World: Paris in 2003, proved he might just be the man to beat. But does he have what it takes to be the game’s first back-to-back winner in 15 seasons and nearly a decade? On the show’s latest episode, CT, the reigning Double Agents victor, considered that he was inching closer to adding a very particular footnote to his Challenge resume. For all of his achievements, and his standout performances in Spies, Lies and Allies, one feat still eluded him. “One thing I haven’t done is won two in a row,” CT said. “I think it’d be nice to add to the portfolio of Challenge achievements.” And CT proved he was...

The teen moms are about to have “the mother of all vacations.” Maci Bookout, Amber Portwood and Cheyenne Floyd from Teen Mom OG will join Teen Mom 2‘s Leah Messer, Briana DeJesus, Jade Cline and Ashley Jones alongside special guests, including Farrah Abraham, on the spinoff special Teen Mom: Family Reunion, premiering on January 11. “What are we doing?” is a great question, Leah! The MTV women will connect with one another and celebrate their unique bonds during a unique getaway, with fun, sun and new friendships. They’ll also reunite with surprise cameos from the past and present. And yes, there will be fireworks (what did you expect?!) But that’s not all: Ever wondered what the cast really thinks of the moms on the other series? In Teen Mom: Girl...

Thirty Challenge seasons and nearly 20 years ago, the most emblematic MTV underdog of all time, Sarah Greyson, won The Gauntlet after surviving her team’s season-long mission to oust her. She notched five elimination-round wins en route to her victory in Season 7, including two against men, and by the time she collected her check, she’d unwittingly made history. Two decades later, Sarah’s record remains unbeaten and matched only once, but the standout rookie of Season 37, a blue-haired Romanian pop star named Emy, is in a position to finally amend the record books. But with the Spies, Lies and Allies finale likely around the corner, will Emy have time to collect Lair victories five and six to officially cement her standing as one of the greatest players ever, or will Sarah continue to reig...

If time heals all wounds, consider Tina and Jodi of The Challenge conscientious clock objectors. The two powerhouses, who first met on Inferno II, got off on the wrong foot and — as of the most recent episode of All Stars — they’ve committed to staying that way…17 years later. But now that they’ve each claimed victory in one of the first two missions and have each vowed to oust the other from the game, the question is: Who can stand the heat, and who’ll have to get the hell out of the kitchen? After Derek and Leah’s elimination from the game, players learned they’d have to test their wits and endurance, alike, in the second All Stars mission, “Around the Block.” In two teams, the cast would have to rush to collect King Kong-sized puzzle pieces — some scattered in the woods and some floatin...

The Real World: Los Angeles was not Season 1 of the iconic MTV series, but the 1993 SoCal edition is well-known for changing reality TV forever. Beth Anthony, Beth Stolarczyk, David Edwards, Glen Naessens, Irene Berrera-Kearns, Jon Brennan and Tami Roman are small screen pioneers in their own right — and they are having a homecoming at the same iconic Venice beach house years after they lived together in their teens and twenties. Yes, they are “all grown up” — and during the premiere installment of the Paramount+ program, they began revisiting the historic experiences that shaped their youth when they were “being real” in the ’90s. The first stop on this journey: sitting together to watch the unforgettable “blanket incident,” which led ...
