Well when the ratings  drop bigtime when he leaves and increase big time when he returns,i think that's all the proof you need.And there is know denying he's the biggest star on the show by far,Again the numbers don't lie.Bananas makes a huge difference in ratings.

I don't think he makes a HUGE difference.

Well the ratings are the proof STUFFANDTHINGS,are you trying to tell me he doesn't have the biggest fan base?

I didn't say that.

There are so many factors involved in ratings.  Time of the year, other television shows, time slot, previews for the episode, and so many other variables.  Can we legitimately say that Bananas directly increases The Challenge ratings with proof?  No.  Is it possible that you're actually right?  Yes.  In short, it's hard to make direct proof either way, so it's inconclusive.  Either way though, I'm happy to see that the Challenge did decently.

There's proof...he may not be the only reason but he does increase ratings and I hate him

100 % !

Ex-ile team returned, the biggest name that was eliminated came back, Nany vs. Nia, Wes getting send into elimination round, the house/dynamics turned completly, Leroy/Nia vs. Wes/Theresa preview in hall brawl. 
A lot of stuff happened last week, a lot of good stuff that got noticed and made the viewer to tune in.

There's tons of possible factors but Bananas does improve ratings--this isn't new information or surprising.  It is why he's cast every single season and, after Seasons, will be until the show ends

Same with Wes and CT. These three people (as much as people of sick of them) do improve ratings just by showing up.

WES doesn't have nowhere near the fan base Bananas & Ct have

Wes isn't in the same league as the other two but he definitely has a fan base

Nia could reach that level--not sure about any of the other newer cast members

I can see Nia, Cory, and Violetta possibly reaching that level. I definitely think Jenny would have but I doubt we will see her again unfortunately.

I can't speak for Cory, Violetta or Jenny cause I have no clue who they are but I hope you're right about Cory & Violetta (though there seems to be mixed opinions on her)

I feel like anyone from skeletons for the exception of Madison,I have a feeling she would be another Jenna on a challenge.
Nicole is athletic but her fake ascent is annoying and I dont think she is entertaining, she is more of a supporting character.

Violetta will probably not last long enough to have a fan base tbh. She's probably out early
Wait her accent is fake? I don't see why she would choose to talk like that..

I was to force in my opinion.

If you rewatch the episode when her sister visit her they even pointed out to her mom that they didn't remember Nicole having such a deep ascent that it became heavy living in chicago and they lived with her back home.

Her sisters actually said "where did this Boston accent come from?" Implying that she talked completely different than they and everyone else in New York does. Showing even more that her accent was fake.

Ah I see, maybe it will change again when she's on the challenge lol

Her sisters kind of call her out for it lol

I want to know what she really sounds like now

WES doesn't have nowhere near the fan base Bananas & Ct have



He doesn't have a fanbase but he does have a lot of people who hate him, which is more or less the same.

That's weird as hell...who does that?

Bananas has nowhere near the fan base CT has....this guy is his own league. 

But Wes/Bananas/CT are the challenge biggest names right now and they bring attention to a season and make a season more interesting to watch than not, they're multiple factors than just fanbases...

Someone who wants attention.

Yeah,we saw how big Wes's fan base was when Bananas left the show,Not Big at all.Lost over 200.000 viewers  the next ep. the numbers speak for them self,check the ratings,Facts are Facts,there's CT/Bananas than there's the rest.Also what i love about this challenge is the we have the ratings with Bananas there,we saw the ratings once he left,now we've seen the ratings once he's returned,and clearly he's ratings gold.

I really hate to admit this but sadly Backpack/Wes/CT do bring ratings. There are other factors but they are one.

Yep. Too bad there was nothing else happening on this episode to account for good ratings. Your king must be the only reason. 

When it's that bad that people are only watching for anywhere from 1-3 people on a cast of 26-32 it's time to pull the plug.

Me personally, I only watched this season because of Nia & hearing about how far she got plus her possibly making it to the final mission.

I watch no matter who's on the cast. I don't really have any favorites. The only reason I didn't watch BOTS2 and Fresh Meat II was because I forgot about them.

I agree. That's just sad. But hey  that's BMP/MTV's fault. They made this show into something that it was never supposed to be. A couple of main characters with everyone else being a supporting castmember.
