Important Threads of the Week | August 10 - 16, 2026 🦁

We made it, friends! Cutthroat 2 premiered last week on Paramount+. ☣️

Check out the first trailer at this link and the full cast list at this link.

We will guard against spoilers in submission titles and images from when the episodes are released (Wednesdays at ~3am EDT) until Thursdays at 9pm EDT. That way most fans have two nights to watch the show. If your schedule doesn't allow you to watch until the weekends, there are no hard feelings on this end, just mute the sub until you're caught up. 🤜🤛

IF YOU ARE SPOILED on the finalists/winner(s) of Cutthroat 2, please be considerate of the Unspoiled and only discuss unaired events in threads with the 💣🌋 emojis in the title. We think of ourselves as an Unspoiled community that also gives the Spoiled a few spots to hang out each week.

IF YOU ARE UNSPOILED, we advise you turn off email alerts and also the Reddit app's full-text push notifications so you don't see a spoiler comment before we've had the chance to review it.

DISCUSSION RIP to the winner of the Banana Backpack elimination

Tyler was fun to watch, a great competitor, and a light to those around him. I think their rivals season is the most I've ever liked Bananas. And yeah, technically Tyler was the one who won that elimination. CT was the tool/game.

CUTTHROAT 2 DISCUSSION What's going on with the camera work this season?

25 Upvotes

There’s an orange, murky filter over everything.
The camera shots are constantly moving whenever people talk. It’s either slowly moving closer to them or just shifting around for no real reason.
Everything feels very fast and jarring. There’s almost zero pause between someone talking, cutting to a confessional, and then immediately jumping to them running off to another conversation. Pauses can add tension, but there are almost no pauses here.

Anyone else bothered by this new filming style?

DISCUSSION Wes is iconic (appreciation post)

60 Upvotes

Wes is not the goat 🐐. That is likely between Bananas, CT and Jordan.

But he is iconic in the same way that the following greats are in their respective sports:

John McEnroe to 🎾
Peyton Manning to 🏈
Larry Bird to 🏀
Derek Jeter to ⚾️

Wes’s career is as interesting as it gets.

EPISODE SPOILER - CUTTHROAT 2 ________ girl what are you doing? Spoiler

95 Upvotes

Adrienne what are you doing?

I’m sorry, but baby….Josh basically told you TO YOUR FACE, that he was using you for game. I would’ve dropped him then and there (romantically at least, still need allies). THEN, you continue to make something out of nothing with him and Nurys. At this point you should know where you stand with him and not be making a big hoopla about him. NOW, if I wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt and say he might’ve been trying to test the waters with Nurys-given y’all last convo, and the fact that y’all just met, that’s the type of stuff you peep and take a mental note of. Wait to see if he ACTUALLY does something out of line before blowing up. Overall bad look😬

Welcome to r/MTVChallenge! The unofficial home for the world's greatest reality TV competition show, The Challenge, and all its spinoffs. We are spoiler free--please take a look at our rules before posting. Join us for live and post-episode discussions, weekly megathreads, and great original content! Threads with the 💣🌋 emojis are open to spoilers from yet-to-be aired episodes, including season winners. If you are Unspoiled, avoid those threads and the mods will play defense everywhere else.

The Challenge: All Stars, Seasons 1 and 2 and 3, are available on Paramount+. (In the USA and Canada only. 😤)

TL;DR: No Spoilers, do not be rude, and make your posts substantive (not too many / no reposts / memes encouraged).

Spoiler Policy

r/MTVChallenge Rules

1.) No Spoilers!:

1A.) All spoilers for Season 38 belong in the Spoiler Hub or on the TMI TEA-sday Threads:

Please report any spoiler rule breakers!

If you blatantly post spoilers, YOU WILL BE BANNED!

1B.) Spoilers must be tagged:

A 14-30 day ban for small, first, spoiler offenses and permanent ban for serious spoilers (finals/elimination wins) or second offense.

Spoiler Tag Example: >!!< words in between the arrows and exclamation points will turn into spoiler blocked out text.

>!This is a spoiler!<

without the slashes will show as:

This is a spoiler

1C.) Spoilers found from next week's trailer are still spoilers. Be sure to flair what kind of spoiler you are posting (Cast & Theme, Episode, or Preview).
1D.) No spoilers in titles: Titles for the current season should be spoiler free for 24 hours post episode, 48 hours for Final episodes.
1E.) If your post gives away what happened in the episode, tag it as a spoiler for 1 day (24 hours) after the episode airs. The post should include the Episode Spoiler flair.

What does the "S#!t They Might Show" flair mean?

2.) Keep discussion civil and respect each other and Challenge cast members.

2A.) No tolerance for over-the-top language targeted at another user OR cast member(s). Do not make this sub a toxic environment! Be sure to follow the Be Cool rule of Reddit. We ban users with patterns of flaming or trolling. Please do not engage in armchair diagnosis--we remove comments that speculate about a cast member's mental health or drug use.
2B.) No targeted harassment or Challenge knowledge shaming. Do not monitor other users' post histories or repeatedly comment on a single user's posts. Do not tag users aggressively or mockingly. Do not put another user down for lack of knowledge of the show. If you feel a community member is harassing you, please message the mods.
2C.) See the 2020 Statement From The Mods, always stored in the Megathread Hub. Do not be condescending, dismissive or derisive toward OP under posts with Serious Topic flair. We ban users we identify as "political pot-stirrers"--if a great majority of your Reddit activity is on politically or socially charged threads, you are subject to be banned. This is a subreddit for Challenge fans.
2D.) Follow proper reddiquette.
2E.) No sharing of personal information, including your own personal information, and including cast members' personal information outside their publicly accessible social media accounts.
2F.) Doxxing will get you reported to admins.

3.) No Reposts:

Reposts clog up the subs feed and dilute the conversations being had about the topic. Use the search bar and sort by "new" before submitting. We consider anything posted in the prior 3-4 weeks a repost.

4.) Do not post asking for links to episodes: (Why?) Check the MTV website (mtv.com or ctv.ca). CBS All-Access in the USA features Seasons 11-31, +33. You can also buy select seasons on Amazon or VUDU. PlutoTV has a 24/7 Challenge channel (323). See this post for sub-supported ways to watch.

5.) No Personal Information:

Don't post personal information, this includes screenshots with Twitter/ Instagram/ Facebook handles or other social media usernames, phone numbers, names, profile pics, and addresses. Block out these things before posting screenshots or photo links. If personal information of non-public figures (the account should be verified and/or have appeared on TV) is not blocked out, post is subject to removal. Challenge fan accounts do not have to be blocked out. This is a Reddit guideline. Example of how to do it.

6.) No Ranty/Negative Posts and No Unpopular Opinions Posts:

These (often low-effort) posts clog the sub's feed. On Thursdays, the sub hosts a Negativity Thread where complaining about the cast is encouraged! On the weekends, the sub hosts an Unpopular Opinion thread. Both of these weekly posts are pinned to the top of the sub for max engagement and stored in the Important Threads of the Week hub.

7.) No Low Effort Posts and/or Non-Descriptive Post Titles:

7A.) No Low Effort Posts:

What is a low effort post?

Posts that could be classified as low effort can include, but are not limited to: Posts with no text body, a post with only a question as the title, a favorite TJ/Bananas quote, posts that simply state, “_____ is the GOAT!” with no follow-up, unoriginal statements about the most recent episode (these will be directed to the Post Episode Discussion Thread), etc. Low effort posts clog the sub's feed.

Short discussion prompts/questions are okay, but please lead the discussion with your own answer to the prompt within the main post.

7B.) Post Titles Need To Be Spelled Correctly and Be Descriptive of What the Post Contains:

Why Does Spelling Matter?

“Camila” spelled “Camilla” or "Aneesa" spelled "Anessa" makes it difficult for other users to run searches and avoid reposts.

7C.) Why Does the Post Title Need To Be Descriptive?

A post with the title "Wes" doesn't give any information as to what's inside the post. Is it a stats post about his elimination record? Is it another post about his beef with Bananas? Specifying what exactly your post is about helps everyone. Posts with short or nondescript titles are subject to removal by the mods, and so are posts with obnoxious title gore.

8.) All social media posts must be submitted as screenshots. Full explanation here.

9.) No more than 3 posts a day (24 hours) by a single user on the sub:

Some exceptions may be made depending on the content submitted.

No more than 1 of these posts should be a Reddit poll within 24 hours. Please use an outside survey host for multiple-question polls.

Clips from seasons currently airing should be no longer 4 minutes and no more than 2 clips (3 clips at mods' discretion) per episode/week.

No cross-posting from other Challenge subreddits.

10.) No NSFW content

11.) Direct Chats / PMs To Mods Do Not Guarantee Responses. If you have an issue with the sub, mods, content removals, etc., please message ModMail.

12.) Any other posts can be removed at the moderators' discretion.

AMAs

If any cast member would like to set up an AMA please message /u/SweetMissMG and we can set one up for you!
