Disastrous Duos: These Are The 8 Biggest Partner Implosions In Challenge History
Disastrous Duos: These Are The 8 Biggest Partner Implosions In Challenge History
Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston may have to change their tune: In The Challenge world, it takes two to create the nightmare — not the dream — so real.
On the latest installment of War of the Worlds, which has arranged veteran and newbie players into teams of two, one duo in particular noticed itself on less-than-solid ground. The day’s game “Tired Out” challenged teams to transport a series of hulking tires across a barren wasteland, and while teams like Cara/Theo and Nany/Turbo took off like bullets, others like Da’Vonne/Bear showed signs of slowing down because the mission got more taxing.
Eventually, Bear showed his claws, lashed out at Da’Vonne, and quit the challenge out of frustration.
“This challenge is so hard after awhile, especially with the heat and me getting very annoyed -- dangerous cocktail,” he mentioned. And he made the point even clearer with a second breakdown at his unsurprising, subsequent meeting with the Tribunal. Da’Vonne attempted to calm him down, yet it was no use.
Still, in the scope of the series’ history, he definitely wasn’t the opening, and his collapse was just the most recent in a long line of partner disasters. Take a look at the most fiery Challenge implosions below, tell us if there’s a memorable one we missed and be sure to keep tuning in to The Challenge: War of the Worlds.
Jenna and Briana (Bloodlines)
Right after a night out, typically composed Real World: Ex-Plosion export Jenna and her cousin got into it over — wait for it — a bakery, and the two nearly came to blows. Their eventual turnaround was all of the more remarkable: They made it to the final mission and boasted a commanding lead via game’s first leg.
Johnny Bananas and Camila (Exes)
“You cheater! You’re gonna die!” Was the battle cry of the series’ most well known Cameltdown. Immediately after hearing rumors that her partner Bananas was talking in back of her back, Camila did what anyone would do: throw wicker chairs into the ground, offer a series of death threats and walk into the pool like she’d been ushered off a plank.
Ty and Emily (Exes)
You’d be hard-pressed to find a Challenge moment in which the previous Real World: D.C. lovebirds weren’t at each other’s throats, and being partners on Exes compounded the tension. Things came to a boil any time Emily delivered a — shall we mention unsavory impression of Ty — and was met with scorn. Ty was so pissed, he threatened to quit the game, yet right after some serious apologizing from Emily, Team Green got back on the same page and even put up a solid showing in the game’s final mission.
Zach and Amanda (Final Reckoning)
Both stubborn to a fault, Zach and Amanda are the only teammates in Challenge history who were safe from elimination although although threw themselves into Armageddon because they couldn’t come up with a nominee they agreed with. The two pretty much had the game in the palm of their hands, however in an instant, it was all over, and so they continued to butt heads all of the way out the door.
Luke and Evelyn (Fresh Meat 2)
Though Luke was the last newbie draft pick, he and Evelyn nearly made it to the end of Fresh Meat 2. Still, Evelyn was routinely worried that Luke would let her down, and as soon as it came time to square off against Landon and Carley in Exile, she claimed that he did. Immediately after being eliminated, Evelyn bit Luke’s head off -- and made his decision to return to the series on Cutthroat all of the more surprising.
Sarah and Trishelle (Rivals II)
While Trishelle and Sarah didn’t act as volatilely as some of the others on this list, their undercurrent of mutual resentment couldn’t be fixed, and once Trishelle managed to get into a fight with the whole Rivals II house, even Sarah’s strongest calls for diplomacy couldn’t stop her. Before long, Trishelle quit the game, and Sarah was forced out too.
Tony and Camila (Rivals III)
The catalyst to Tony and Camila's game-ending elimination was insane: Immediately after returning from the bar, Camila fell and bumped her knee. Under the impression her housemates were laughing at her, she completely lost her cool — and once Tony woke up in a task to stop the fighting, he only made it worse. The two got so close to physically assaulting each other that they became liabilities to the home, and were both swiftly booted.
Hunter and Ashley (Final Reckoning)
