The Challenge: Rivals 3 Finale

Did MTV stage the finale for ratings?

The Challenge: Rivals 3 Finale

If you have yet to see the finale of The Challenge: Rivals 3, you're in for a not so shocking plot twist.

Warning- the rest of this article contains spoilers of the finale.

The three final teams who completed the final challenge were Devin and Cheyenne, Vince and Jenna, and Johnny Bananas and Sarah.

If you have been watching the whole season, you may have a no-brainer assumption of who most likely won this season.

Johnny Bananas.

That's right, Johnny and Sarah together did not take the $275,000 and split the winnings, Johnny took the whole of the winnings.

The producers of the show decided to put in a last minute plot twist, that not only would the rival teams be competing against each other, but the rivals within the teams would be competing against themselves as well. Whichever three people racked up the most points, could then decide if they wanted to split the winning money with their partner/rival in the end.

While Devin split his money with Cheyenne, and Vince did with Jenna, Johnny was the only one to not do so with Sarah.

This doesn't come off too much as a surprise for many, knowing Sarah and Banana's history, and Banana's more or less selfish personality throughout all the seasons of the show.

The real question is, would MTV really let Bananas go home with $275,000 and Sarah with $0?

With a good, juicy story behind the relationship between the two rivals and with them being in the final, it seems like MTV could have put in this plot twist for ratings, not only so people could tune in for the last episode, but for people to watch the after show in which all the rival teams meet up again to discuss the season.

Bananas and Sarah were the dream team this season, dominating almost every challenge and never being sent into the jungle. Without each other, they most likely wouldn't have gotten to the final.

It doesn't seem like MTV would just let Sarah, who worked really hard in these challenges, go home with $0, meanwhile Devin and Cheyenne, who let's face it, were only in the final by pure luck, go home with $25,000. ($12,500 each)

We may never know whether or not it was a set-up for ratings or not, but most people will agree that Johnny Banana's move was the shadiest contestants of all Challenge and reality T.V. history.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
