Coral is everything as far as this show goes. She really deserves her placement at the top and I'm glad she's there.
You know it's really nice to see that a challenge cast member ranking actually got FINISHED. People on other sites tried to do a ranking but they never finished.
Oh and MPH I wished you'd seen Road Rules All-Stars and Challenge 99. Just watched them recently and I would've liked to see how Rachel(San Francisco), Jason(Boston), Niel, Kefla, and Janet ended up in the ranking(they all would probably be low on the list but still would've loved to see them in the ranking).
Oh and one question: Will you rank the new castmembers coming in on the next challenge and maybe do a projected placement thing after the season ends?
I can! I actually think I've found RR All Stars and the first challenge so maybe I can find time later to throw them in the mix somehow. As for the new castmates, I can definitely try and do something to add them in somehow/make any necessary adjustments.
I was thinking of tackling Real World cast members next, but starting easy like maybe only the last 10 seasons (I'd have to rewatch a lot of the old seasons to rank them properly).
Coral the ultimate Queen of challenges. I have dreams that one day her and Nia will team up on Rivals 3 and destroy the other girls.
I really want them to make amends & get along. They're both too great to be beefing over nothing. If only they knew how thoroughly they could run shit in the Challenge house together...
I think the only way for them to get along would them to be paired on a challenge together. They would run the **** out of that house.
Well, Coral hated Julie not because she was Melissa's BFF. Someone said that Julie was messing up with Coral's money like she did with Melissa's.
Really? Never knew that.
Yes, I heard it twice, I think they used to talk young people in colleges about reality tv shows and they got paid for appearances, something happened with people's money and Julie being the reason of that mess. I can't recall what happened exactly.
I love Coral. The Gauntlet 3 is one of my favorite reunions of all time because Coral owned the hell out of everyone she called out. Would love to see her and Beth make their epic return someday. Coral stated on Derrick's podcast that she never retired so she could pull a Trishelle and come back soon!
CT also deserves his #1 placement. He has the biggest fan base in Challenge history. It's funny how Coral and CT used to be HATED back in the day but then fans came around and started appreciating them.
Oh and what did Whitney Houston say about Coral again? Lol
I'm sorry I'm going to get hated for this but .. haven't Ct and Backpack done the same amount of challenges .. but Ct is more influentional you say . But he has one win for 11 tries . Unlike backpack who has 5 for 11 .. I think 5 out of 11 are more influential.

But like previously stated before, it's not all about the wins. It's about influential in other aspects too.
Mmmmmmmm .. I dont know about this ranking ....... a little biased ...
LOL Well I can assure you if I was being biased neither Bananas nor CT would be in the top spot. Johnny is definitely an "influential" challenger, but overall I think CT is more well known. He's been around longer and has had two major storylines that spanned multiple seasons (his relationship with Diem and his rivalry with Adam). Plus, I'd argue that he's the most popular cast member with most casual fans.

What drama has bananas brought? What story lines do people really remember from him? Nothing. Ct was always the bad guy. People refused to come back because cut is there and they think he will murder someone. Him and diem were the face of any mtv relationship which about 5 seasons were about the relationship with them and the other episodes people would see if he would get kicked out for fighting. When u bring up the challenge someone has more then likely heard about ct over bananas. And yes they have been on the same amount but ct was also suspended For over 5 seasons combined. (4 was just after his Adam fight)

Thank you for saying this.
Drama ..... I thought this was about both competition and drama ... What about the drama between him and Jordan ... Or the drama with him or Sarah . Or the drama with him or Cara or the drama with him and Paula when he left her hanging .... Hes brought plenty of drama . .. but he's always been foused on winning ... I'm sorry but I would rathe. Go against ct than backpack .. Because in my opinion backpack s a bigger beast . hey just ask CT hasn't he beeN beaten twice by Backpack right before the finals ....... Hasn't he even been beaten by backpack in a final ..... Oh ok I guess you guess forgot about that part right
That's not the point, no one said Bananas wasn't involved in repetitive drama. He is number 2 of course. But damn all my friends who never heard of the challenge know of CT

yeah don't try that one . If I go out and ask 100'people who Ct is they wouldn't even know who I was talking about . Shit they don't know about half these reality tv show personalities.

No, DScott is right. My friend use to watch these shows and she didn't remember Bananas. And to be honest, his drama that he brought was 100 times less memorable than CT and his relationship with Diem. Heck, his savage beating of Adam single handly out shines all of Bananas' drama. But I digress, my friend only watched battle of Exes 2 and 1, because CT and Diem where there. Heck, she didn't remember much people besides Rachel too. So I think, in the sense of cast members who hold an influence to not just HARDCORE fans like Vevmo, but also to casual fans who aren't as invested as we are in this franchise.

Wait don't try what, as someone who works in the industry and has worked on reunion shows, I know people that don't know the challenge at all and have heard of CT. Besides, I said my friends not 100 people on the street.

Honestly, the fact that you call Bananas "Backpack" just shows that CT is more memorable, considering Bananas wouldn't be called Backpack if CT didn't absolutely embarrass him in that gulag.
And yes, Johnny beat CT on Exes, and CT beat Johnny in Rivals 2 so I'm not sure you're point?
CT has had two major storylines that have spread across like...9 challenges. And he's well known by new fans, old school fans, casual fans, and people that don't even watch the show but are familiar.
I'm not sure the big deal anyways, Johnny is number 2. It's not like he's ranked 40th. But like I said, nobody was going to agree with the entire list.
Ct is also the reason why bananas has the name backpack as well. You say bananas beat ct twice but ct destroy bananas in the most memorable moment in elimination history
Off Topic: Hey MPH In your Kina write up you mentioned you were on Speakreality..Did you have the same username? Because I was on there too and I remember a name similar to yours.

Yeah wins are only a part of this ranking. Thanks for doing this mph, it was a great read
I agree. This was pretty fun to read. I loved the synopsis of each cast member.

Me too. This was a good read.
And yours would be completely 100% unbiased? Everyone's personal list has a little bit of personal preferene whether we like to admit it or not.
