Trishelle Cannatella is fresh off a major reality TV competition win, following up her lack of wins on The Challenge with a victory on The Traitors 2.
She and fellow MTV star Chris “Ct” Tamburello closed out the show’s second season with the shared win after voting out castmate Mercedes “Mj” Javid at the firepit.
That earned them a prize total of over $200,000 and bragging rights for The Challenge as one of the top reality competition programs on TV.
Viewers haven’t seen competitors from The Challenge cross into other reality TV worlds, but Johnny Bananas seemed to open the door when he went on the debut of E!’s new show House of Villains.
He followed it up by appearing on The Traitors 2 with Trishelle and Ct but had an early exit from the game.
Since her win, Trishelle has appeared on various podcasts and interviews, including Challenge Mania,...

For 37 seasons and counting, MTV’s “The Challenge” — formerly known as “Real World/Road Rules Challenge” — has been one of the most consistent reality competition shows on all of TV. It is full of complicated physical challenges, of course, but it also comes with plenty of interpersonal drama between players.
Ahead of the show’s 500th episode, Variety ranks the Top 20 seasons so far, plus looks back at the show that started it all.
Honorable Mention: Road Rules: All Stars
Season 1 (1998)
This was where it all began. If not for “Road Rules’s” adventure spin on MTV’s reality TV format, there would be would be no “Challenge.” “Road Rules: All Stars” placed five “Real World” alums into a “Road Rules” format — traveling in a Winnebago — and sent them off on assignments in the United States and New Zealand. Unlike “The Challenge” as we know it now — and as has...

The Challenge has changed a lot throughout the years.
But one former cast member is looking for MTV to throw it all the way back.
Mark Long, who has appeared in the first Road Rules, as well as some of the earlier seasons of The Challenge, wants MTV to produce a season featuring original stars.
Long won the show two times and has a lot of fans.
After seemingly exiting the franchise in 2012, he has a pitch for a special season that would film a season in the U.S. across two weeks.
Currently, seasons film across two to three months and typically take the challengers to other parts of the world, something that might be difficult for some of the veteran cast members.
With families and careers, leaving everything behind for over two months is not something that everyone can agree to.

The Real World was the original reality show, debuting on MTV in 1992. And from the very first season in Los Angeles, there was a lesbian. Beth Anthony came into replace a housemate who left during filming, and she was instantly the first out lesbian on reality TV.
Now in its 26th season, The Real World has played host to several members of the Lgbt community, including 10 women who are out lesbians or bisexual women. (This, of course, is not including the women of Road Rules or those who make out with women on camera but still consider themselves straight.) And on the new season in San Diego, premiering September 28, we'll meet Sam McGuinn, a butch 21-year-old from Virginia.
So where are all those women now?

It’s been a long, long time since we actively watched a new season of the Real World. In fact, looking back over a list of Real World seasons, the Real World: San Diego cast was the last one that we could name multiple cast members from without any sort of assistance. That said, our knowledge and love of the show’s first 14 or so seasons is beyond compare, which is why we were so delighted to learn that Rw: Boston‘s Sean Duffy was elected to the House of Representatives on Tuesday. Now, we’ll readily admit that we weren’t exactly Poli-Sci majors in undergrad or anything, but we’re pretty sure that this means Sean Duffy will be elected President of the United States some day (which, in an awesome twist, means that our First Lady will be a former fling of Puck’s). Once elected, one...
