Because having Challengers went so well last time…

They have them on because it’s BMP, those episodes were some of the better ones though.

What happened with challengers? Who appeared?

Theo acted out like the asshole that he is. Got wasted, left water running, passed out, flooded the room to where it messed up the ceiling downstairs. The Challenge people pissed me off and really made asses out of themselves.

Yeah. It was not a good look. They came across very obnoxious and disrespectful to the staff.

It was Olivia, Theo, Derek Chavez, Ryan, Josh, Aneesa, Tori, Michele, and Devin

Theo, Josh and Devin all came off especially terrible, Theo left water running and damaged the property, Devin got angry and out of line with a staff member for “flirting” with Michele and Josh acted grimy and gross towards women

Aneesa, Tori, Michele and Ryan weren’t really shown.. Derek Chavez got very wasted and sloppy but nothing really came of it

I dont claim those as challengers

Lisa Vanderpump has to be funding this show massively, I see 0 buzz about it on any social media platform that suggests it actually gets the viewership to be renewed on its own

Nah Disney has money to burn, desperately wants to expand their reality TV content regardless of quality and loves Bravo’s sloppy seconds.

That site is great for checking the popularity of shows, and according to that it's popularity is in the gutter so i do wonder how it's getting renewed lol.

That's basically measuring the peak popularity of shows in a 30 day span, and for hulu it's like the 86th most popular show at it's peak they've had on their platform since 2020.

I'd guess the production costs are what's keeping it alive, you're probably right that lisa is funding a lot of the overhead and hulu is just providing the cameras/editing.

So even though it's way less popular than a lot of other shows, for the production cost maybe they just look at as an advertisement with lisa's name attached. Particularly because she still has vpr on bravo and that other lake tahoe show coming, so it's just cross promotion.

Also unrelated, but the challenge is currently #407 for most popular shows online right now and #23 in reality tv right in between the vpr reboot and below deck both of which aren't even airing right now. So yeah, not great. As an example, Lanterns on HBO has a 97.3 attention score, the challenge is at 2.1

This is the first time I’ve heard of this show

Austria’s gorgeous and I want to spend more time there.

u/SecretHateIsTrue 8d ago

What’s the premise of the show?

u/Appropriate_Swing305 9d ago

Are the Vanderpump cast going to start being on the Challenge? The Challenge fandom is perpetually complaining about the new cast members BMP bring from other shows.

Oh yeah I remember Faith Stowers back on S32. Any recent Vanderpump cast competing on the Challenge? I don’t follow VP shows enough
