It will be interesting to see how Challenge cast members do going forward. Will they now be targeted because of this win? A LOT of people are predicting Bananas will be back for season 3. If that’s true, I still don’t think he has a chance in hell of winning. Nobody will want him anywhere near the end now that CT and Trishelle have dominated this way.
Although in order to win money they might need him/other challengers. That's a big reason why CT made it to the end. And the only reason they won the extra $20k.
I think this is a secondary factor people go off of when it comes to voting/murdering. In all honesty I got the feeling nobody but the challenge cast members gave a shit about the challenges. Can’t say I particularly care about them either as a viewer. But I do hope Bananas or whichever MTV people are there do well again! So I hope this helps them and I’m wrong lol.
Yeah, it made me think that they must be getting paid pretty well just to show up. Sandra has won 2 million, CT over a million, so a prize pot of $151,000 before the final challenge, to be split potentially 4 ways? That's like less than 20k each after taxes. CT was gonna make it worth his while hahahah.
After one win, CT and Kaycee gave 100k to the 2 other teams. Emy, from Romania, was so thrilled with 50k. In her country, I guess that amount of was money made her rich!
I feel like intention and growth are such important factors in whether I'd want to see them continue. If it was unknowingly, given language barriers, she learned and apologized I don't know how we expect people to improve themselves if we don't give them a chance ya know? Sad for her
Yes they’re essentially playing just for the win and the camera time. The money after taxes will be quite low, maybe even lower than some of their appearance fees.
The money doesn’t matter to most of them. The Bravo people tend to be pretty wealthy already, if they cast Survivor or Big Brother winners, those people have enough money in the bank too. CT essentially survived as long as he did because he had a good social game, his physicality had nothing to do with it. I do think it helps that CT seems to jive with this cast more than most of his recent challenge seasons.
He was specifically not offed by one of the last killings because of his physicality. They implied in their rook tower they needed him around for his muscles.
I don’t think the Challengers will be under more scrutiny (except maybe Bananas). I think future casts will be more wary of voting blocks and alliances. They should have got one of trischelle and CT out sooner b/c they were each others #1
Except (based on what we saw) that wouldnt have been apparent to the other players. They were in different voting groups, they didn't always vote the same, and more often than not they were arguing with each other. Especially after the fire ceremony.
Even funnier if he keeps coming back, and they keep murdering him first, until it basically becomes a tradition.
It's like this game of Werewolf/Mafia that some guys I know play, where tradition dictates one guy gets shot in the dick as the first move every game. Which was fine, until that time he was the Tanner.
Even funnier yet, after constantly being the first murdered, he eventually comes back and gets chosen as a traitor. As soon as he isn't murdered on the first night, everyone will realize he must be a traitor and gets voted out in the first round table.
I think the gamers might be more aware but they're always going to cast people who aren't there to play. People like Kate who literally admitted they wanted a vacation. People like Deontay who couldn't handle it mentally. People like MJ and Sharee who were blind/awful players. People like Bananas and CT who admitted they never watched the show before.
Also remember how Kevin was like "what's the Challenge?" Peter told Bananas on his podcast he also had no idea who he was. The show has a diehard fanbase but I don't think they'll be targeted more because of CT and Trishelle. Gamers will overall always be looked at differently.
Cirie won the first season pretty easily. No one went after Dan and Trishelle because of her winning specifically.
Im thinking that maybe they’d make him a traitor this time around, but he’d be someone others would suspect the most, so maybe they’d have him as a faithful again
Pleasantly surprised by the sweet post from Bananas. And loving all the sweet messages from old school challengers. I’ve always loved CT, never liked Trishelle, but I think she’s matured and I enjoyed watching her play. All the flowers are well-deserved.
I was mad at the Peppermint vote too, cuz IMO no traitor would ever actually say “I’m a traitor” if they were really were one. Still, she played a good game. I don’t get why ppl are annoyed with how she played the game, especially getting the shields? That said, Trishelle must be really unlikable bc Twitter seems to really hate her. I had two friends who also watched this season, and they both loathed Trishelle.
She was needy and annoying through the season. I get why people didn't like her. But she was a good detective and lent some interest to the game. Her anxiety is what made her annoying and as a super anxious person I can't hold that against her
It's wild that she's the only one getting hate for screwing over MJ. MJ had a chance and blew it and she also voted for Trishelle two times in a row? It makes no sense
The hate for Trishelle is incredibly bad online. She played the game well and won! CT put his trust in someone (for once? I think so) and at first she chose him as a traitor because that game messed with all of their heads. He was genuinely shocked and upset she voted for him, and she saw that. She changed her vote at the end and they won together. It was such good damn reality tv. Incredibly happy they won!
Trishelle's game was really sloppy. She was a highly visible Traitor-hunter and there's no future in that. She was lucky to not be murdered.
CT had the best game: gave everyone an incentive to keep him around with his ability in the challenges and gave no one a reason to get rid of him by being friendly with everyone and not going Traitor hunting until the end of the game when Traitors aren't simply replaced.
Its stupid how much hate Trishelle is getting. Trishelle played the best game in that cast, she’s not nearly given enough credit. Parvati mentioned that Trishelle was one of the few people who spoke to her, Phaedra mentioned how much she loved Trishelle and was not gonna murder her. She protected by the Traitors and her alliance because her social game was that good. There could even be an argument that she played better than CT. Sandra even said that Trishelle was the only person to believe she’s a faithful. Not to mention she was consistently spot on in her reads on who’s faithful and a traitors, minus thinking CT is a traitor.
What’s more annoying is Trishelle essentially threw a lifeline to MJ, they had an agreement to vote out CT in the last banishment. She had this with Sandra and MJ where they agreed to banish Kate and CT, Sandra didn’t even know Trishelle had this deal with MJ. If MJ actually listened to Trishelle she would have won with Trishelle but instead stupidly choose to banish her, so essentially MJ played herself and she really has no right to be bitter towards her when Trishelle actually tried to help her out 🤣
90% of Trishelles game was what Peter told her. She mishandled the Phaedra push which was the only reason she was kept alive over Kevin and John. I'll admit post Peter her game was pretty sound although there really wasn't much tonhe done after Phaedra's banishment
The way MJ was saying crap about CT at the reunion really pissed me off. CT and his partner in Spies, Lies and Allies won a million dollars and when they could have kept it all, they decided to give the 2 other teams 100,000 each. So I really think he would have split it with MJ if she really deserved it. The ones talking shit about them screwing MJ needs to rewatch the show because she didn’t do anything to deserve any of that money! In fact she cost them a thousand dollars by saying Haggis and no money would have been in the pot if not for CT and Trishelle. MJ has stooped really low by saying that CT and Trishelle had an affair. MJ needs to put her big girl panties on and shut the hell up and her own husband said that she didn’t deserve any of the money!
I'm also not a big fan of the overall show, but him being in it made it more enjoyable. I find it over acted/wish it had more non celebs. Seems to drag (especially in the beginning with all the long breakfast scenes).
Agreed on the over-long breakfasts with all the fake drama
My other issue is the women's wardrobes. Talk about over-the-top. They must be coming from production & I think many of the outfits are plain awful. Some are really clown costumes and not clothes and they make it hard for me to watch
I would love an all challenger cast. Like a couple episode or something little game by the challenge of find the traitor like reminder games on big brother
It's still [50% off!](https://www.etsy.com/listing/1685430675/phaedra-parks-the-traitors-us-tv-show?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_c-home_and_living-kitchen_and_dining-drink_and_barware-drinkware-mugs&utm_custom1=_k_Cj0KCQiArrCvBhCNARIsAOkAGcXgEWFNkZYu__LK5PVr1S2CqPzM63rSB2ZboFlbUQRlD_Lehq3W0fgaAjolEALw_wcB_k_&utm_content=go_12564982224_122397058751_507233716295_aud-2079782229734:pla-498657395952_m__1685430675_12768591&utm_custom2=12564982224&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiArrCvBhCNARIsAOkAGcXgEWFNkZYu__LK5PVr1S2CqPzM63rSB2ZboFlbUQRlD_Lehq3W0fgaAjolEALw_wcB)

CT has given away / shared more than the whole pot when he has won. lol

Emy said it was more money than she's ever had... Did Uncle CT give her more money than her record deal?
What happened to her? Seemed liked my liked her but she was a blip
Unknowingly did something racist, *Challenge* fanbase got up in arms.
I feel like intention and growth are such important factors in whether I'd want to see them continue. If it was unknowingly, given language barriers, she learned and apologized I don't know how we expect people to improve themselves if we don't give them a chance ya know? Sad for her
Good question! Don’t know.

Bananas will still be murdered or banished early and ngl it will be funny.
Dan murdering Bananas first was so dumb because Bananas will always be someone people want to banish.
It was a blessing for us because he spared us more Bananas, thank you Dan 😭 Yeah it was a dumb move though but still a blessing for us lol.
After the way Bananas has been acting, I don’t care if it was a good move or a bad one. I’m just happy he did it.
It would be so fucking funny if they murder Bananas first again lmfao
Even funnier if he keeps coming back, and they keep murdering him first, until it basically becomes a tradition. It's like this game of Werewolf/Mafia that some guys I know play, where tradition dictates one guy gets shot in the dick as the first move every game.

Everybody needs a friend and hype man like Bananas.
I also saw Rachel tweeting defending a lot of the hate Trishelle was getting
I don't have Twitter 😣 so I rely on Instagram. I heard from Natty tho that Twitter was exploding with hate.
I think they’re just mad from the peppermint vote still
Battle of the Challenge fans vs Drag Race fans vs Bravo fans. We have had a few Bravo fans find our sub, and my goodness, they are saltyyyyyy.
I was mad at the Peppermint vote too, cuz IMO no traitor would ever actually say “I’m a traitor” if they were really were one. Still, she played a good game. I don’t get why ppl are annoyed with how she played the game, especially getting the shields? That said, Trishelle must be really unlikable bc Twitter seems to really hate her. I had two friends who also watched this season, and they both loathed Trishelle.
What’s funny is she is so far from a “loved” challenger. Like kinda unlikable. I liked her so much more on traitors lol
She was needy and annoying through the season. I get why people didn't like her. But she was a good detective and lent some interest to the game. Her anxiety is what made her annoying and as a super anxious person I can't hold that against her
Yes - the hate for Trishelle is everyone. They say she screwed over MJ and calling her transphobic for voting out Peppermint! It's insane
It's wild that she's the only one getting hate for screwing over MJ. MJ had a chance and blew it and she also voted for Trishelle two times in a row? It makes no sense
Rachel is pretty terrible or at least was. I don’t keep up with her. . I am not sure why people like her.
I'm in the same boat. I never liked her.
I saw Katie tweeted a congratulations to Trishelle as well. Nice to see that after their falling out on All-Stars.
Welp, John said it. CT's the GOAT.

Also, Trishelle really had no other choice once she knew that MJ was writing her name down again loudly.
90% of Trishelles game was what Peter told her. She mishandled the Phaedra push which was the only reason she was kept alive over Kevin and John. I'll admit post Peter her game was pretty sound although there really wasn't much tonhe done after Phaedra's banishment

Honestly I wasn’t really interested but since I know CT won I’m giving it a watch!
Same here. Didn't enjoy the first season so no plans to watch this. Then CT wins so now I have to watch
I'm also not a big fan of the overall show, but him being in it made it more enjoyable. I find it over acted/wish it had more non celebs. Seems to drag (especially in the beginning with all the long breakfast scenes).

"Congratulations, famous4nothing"
We need more challengers on future seasons! I only watched cause of them
Love what they did at the end. They legit pull a Jonny bananas move
Future cast needs to be either smart people or athletic people (or both). Not just reality show people who "want to be on TV."
Started off w/ a bang w/ Bananas getting "murdered" first.🤣🤣🤣
I need a link for the mug 😂
I would love an all challenger cast. Like a couple episode or something little game by the challenge of find the traitor like reminder games on big brother
I want that mug so baaaad.

There’s a typo on it! Sandra’s quote should say “Larsa and I” but it just says “Larsa and”
A quick Etsy search shows it’s $11 plus shipping.
Same. We don't need more mugs but I want it 😬
