She may look innocent and sweet, but don't be fooled: you do NOT wanna wrestle her. Our next CHALLENGE GODS inductee is the "Stormin' Mormon" herself, Julie Stoffer. Though the last we've seen of her was Gauntlet 2, this Challenge Veteran deserves her status: she's my favorite classic female Challenger. She's had a handful of crazy Challenge moments, from Inferno II`s "Dear Lord, please help me to get to that flag" and "the Road to God is straight and narrow" to Inferno 1`s Grope The Rope showdown against Veronica to her now-famous arguments between Melissa on Battle Of The Sexes 1 and Coral on Inferno 1. She may have only done four seasons of The Challenge, but those seasons have now become classic examples of Julie's on-screen personality and Challenge spirit every ew-school cast member should definitely have. Please welcome your 4TH female inductee of CHALLENGE GODS, Julie!
Let's be honest, the greatest moments and some of the most hilarious moments on Challenge history aren't what they show... it's what they DON'T show. The nominees for GREATEST STORY NEVER SHOWN comes from reunion show footage, After Shows and extra scenes that made it into the "$#!+ They Should Have Shown" show... that really show to the Challenge fans what enjoying yourself on a Challenge is all about. Here are the nominees for GREATEST STORY NEVER SHOWN.
GAUNTLET 1 [BATTLE SCARS] - ALTON WANTS TO KILL THEO FOR IRULAN REMARKS
THE DUEL [REUNION] - "BIG EASY T-BAGS KENNY" STORY
THE RUINS [REUNION] - BRAD'S POST-FIGHT HOSPITAL STORY
When you're not slick enough to skate on through to the finals, you've gotta fight for your spot in the game sooner or later. You've got to put on a tip-top performance to impress our fellow cast members, and an important one to impress yourself, but you've gotta put on a truly legendary performance to be recognized by all the viewers watching the elimination at home. It's these made-of-mettle moments that make people want to root for these Challengers time and time again. Let's see which elimination all of you have praised as the most legendary. The nominees for MOST ENTERTAINING ELIMINATION are...
INFERNO 1 - LEAH VS KENDAL - BRICK BY BRICK
INFERNO II - BRAD VS ABRAM - BALLS IN
DUEL II - BRAD VS LANDON - BACK OFF
THE RUINS - COHUTTA VS WES - SPOOL
CUTTHROAT - CT VS JOHNNY - BACK UP OFF ME (a.k.a. Johnny Bananas Backpack)
and FREE AGENTS - LATOYA VS JEMMYE - BALLS IN
And the MOST ENTERTAINING ELIMINATION IS......
The Johnny Bananas Backpack!; CT versus Johnny from Cutthroat !
When it comes to lovable people, everybody loves Timmy. If it wasn't for his last devistating elimination loss in "Smash House" on Inferno 3 and his string of internal injuries to his legs throughout that season, guarantee that Timmy would be one of those special Veteran cast members that would've been invited back. He may be old to the series, but he could still bring his best when the situation calls for it. Whether it's in the old-school Gauntlet/Inferno era or the Gauntlet 2/Inferno 3 era, the reason why we're honoring him is because of the way TImmy plays this game. It's exactly how we would play the game if we were cast on a Challenge season: being a multitasker enough to know when to have fun in the house during the down time, and when it comes to the missions, have the wherewithal to focus on winning. And, above all else, it sorta helps that he has an alliance with Kenny's soul. So, please welcome the final Male inductee for CHALLENGE GODS, Timmy Beggy!
So... you've done your Real World season. What's next for you? A season on The Challenge, of course! The best or strategic enough cast members nominated for LUCKY ROOKIE are just that: lucky enough to make it to the extremely difficult Final Challenge. From Svetlana on The Duel to Team San Diego on Battle Of The Seasons II or Sarah from RW: Brooklyn on The Ruins to Wes from RW: Austin on Fresh Meat and more, here's those lucky few Challengers nominated for LUCKY ROOKIE.
INFERNO II - LANDON [RW15: PHILADELPHIA]
FRESH MEAT - WES [RW16: AUSTIN]
THE DUEL - SVETLANA [RW17: KEY WEST]
THE RUINS - SARAH R. [RW21: BROOKLYN]
CUTTHROAT - EMILY [RW23: D.C.]
RIVALS - LEROY & MIKE [RW25: LAS VEGAS II]
and FREE AGENTS - JOHNNY [RW28: PORTLAND]
And the LUCKY ROOKIE Award goes to.... Johnny from Real World: Portland for Free Agents !
Nothing is worse than knowing the one person you trust in these Challenges is most likely the one who will screw you over for a TON of cash. Sometimes people put way too much trust in the alliance they think has their back when it's really their own backs they need to be concerned about. Rule #1: Always look out for #1. Here are the nominees for ULTIMATE BETRAYAL.
THE DUEL - EVAN (by WES)
GAUNTLET III - JOHNNY (by EVAN & CT)
GAUNTLET III - CORAL (by EVAN & KENNY)
THE ISLAND - PAULA (by JOHNNY & KENNY)
FRESH MEAT II - DANNY (by WES)
CUTTHROAT - PAULA (by DUNBAR)
and BATTLE OF THE SEASONS II - DUSTIN (by ALTON & TRISHELLE)
AND THE ULTIMATE BETRAYAL IS... PAULA. But wait, we have to clarify. She's winning for the betrayal by Johnny & Kenny on The Island. Congratulations? I know it's not a very satisfying award to be given.
So, we're in the homestretch of the show. I really hope everybody out there in Vevmo, whether you're commenting or not, are enjoying this. How are y'all doing? LET ME HEAR YA!
COMING UP: Katie recieves the CHALLENGE GODS award, and we give out the final two awards of the night, MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF THE SERIES and BEST SEASON FINALE! So keep it locked right here tomorrow afternoon for the big finish and my "retirement" from Vevmo. We'll be right back with more of "THE CHALLENGE AWARDS"!
She's a winner. She's a smoker. She's a pint-size trouper. She's come from being afraid of every mission involving danger and heights to becoming one of the most colorful, scrappy Challenge cast members in this show's history. She's got quite a mouth on her, and ou do not want to be on the recieving end of Katie's verbal spewage. It seems like everybody's got a taste of her rage, from Sarah to Veronica, CT, Evan and Kenny and even Ty. It seems like when drama goes down, Katie always says exactly what she thinks, no matter if it ****** her teammates off or not. Even when she's physically reached her limit, Katie can prove to us all that even though she may be shorter than the rest of us at 5'1", her determination for winning is taller than the rest of us. We honor her unique way of making it through the tough missions and memorable eliminations, and also we honor Katie as being one of the most outspoken Challengers of the Classic Challenge era. Here she is, the final female recipient of the CHALLENGE GODS award, Katie Cooley!
The Challenge has been one of the conerstones of my nostalgic TV history. There were so many moments from all of the seasons that made this category really hard to put together and narrow down. This is a category for all of the other moments I couldn't fit in other categories, but memorable to the series' history nonetheless, like the Abe/Rachel/Veronica Gauntlet 1 hot tub threesome that barely made it onto RANDOM HOOKUP or Brad's Atomic Wedgie not making FUNNIEST SCENE. There's random moments, like Tonya talking to Wes in Episode 5 of The Ruins where she gets distracted by a fly, crushes it, eats it and then downs it with a beer. There's also a handful of other moments I couldn't make into a new category. The Blackface Incident on Battle Of The Exes and Mark's Meltdown on Gauntlet 2 are two mini-examples of that. But all of the best and most voted-for nominees in this category encompass those reality TV moments where we look back on the series we keep watching and say, "I WAS THERE TO SEE THIS TV MOMENT". Here are the nominees for MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF THE SERIES.
And the MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT OF THE SERIES IS......... CT and Diem's love story from The Duel !
Why the Johnny Bananas Backpack didn't trump the votes in this I'll never know, but congrats to CT & Diem for cementing your mark in Challenge history!
Well, this is it...... the final award of the night. It's been a great week with a lot of laughs, lots of tears, a lot of votes and tons of drama... just what a Challenge should have. Every good beginning should have a good ending. From the mountains of Reykjavik, Rio De Janeiro and Whistler, there's been lots of brain-racking puzzles and eating gross stuff. They had to go through a lot of "Czechpoints" in Prague. THey ran through the woods in a "Gold Rush", ran Student City Beach and got "Montezuma's Revenge" in Manzanilla. They've even been to Dream Island and Nightmare Island. Which season's Finale can be hailed as the best? Here are the nominees for BEST SEASON FINALE.
Well, this has been a lot of fun considering all the work that went in it. It would have been more if I hadn't got distracted by my real life. So, I do want to thank everybody who participated in making The RW/RR Challenge Awards what it was: from the people who gave me the OK to do this to everybody who voted and gave their input and everybody who participated as the audience to everybody who's just reading this for the entertainment factor. I've never really had much else to offer or hugely participate in. Due to actions made against me in the past month or two, I don't really feel like the Vevmo crowd is my demographic anymore. I stopped watching The Challenge around the time Free Agents started airing, and I really don't feel like the merging of Are You The One? castmembers really feels right. If that happened, it should have happened way sooner with a "Battle Of The Reality Stars: MTV VS VH1"-type casting, but my drive for watching The Challenge just isn't there anymore.
I would like to maybe develop soome friendships on here, but as I've learned with she-who-will-not-be-mentioned, some people just aren't trustworthy enough. As I've tried to parallel my real life and my Internet life, all of those people who post things like "I think it's laughable that he's trying to take himself seriously" are all haters to me anyway. I really don't feel part of this crowd anymore, ever since I started coming back to this site almost exactly a year ago. What I do want to say is that I will be taking another long break from Vevmo because all the unnecessary and neccessary stress that's been put on me with this whole "Looking For Love" deal, it's just too much. Maybe I'm just not used to the ghetto personalities some of y'all do display.
That being said, I do wish I had more time to work on the mental aspects of this award show, like the written audio clips I worked on for the first two categories. I wish I just had more time to do that, to make this a more complete award show, but I hope all of you liked it nonetheless. I'll be on, but not posting, all next week, so if any of you have a heart or have a chance, feel free to PM me why you think I should stay or go. I really do want to try to have friendly conversation on here, and wanted to expect more constructive criticism rather than borderline bullying responses. People have their different viewpoints and that's why I have mine.
I'm on other social media if you feel like contacting me otherwise. Check me out on YouTube as EAStartingChannel [more new videos are on the way soon, I promise], follow me on Twitter @SmadaNave, Add me as a Friend on Facebook [the green EA logo Evan Adams], Like my "Evan Adams: The Songbook", "EA - Karaoke Sessions" and "Cream Of Wit: Consumable Humor" pages, and just show me that there are some people on this site who actually do care about me posting and contributing my efforts for this site.
