The Challenge Vendettas Trailer Breakdown

The Challenge:Vendettas released their premiere trailer, and there were many hidden details that may have been missed by the naked eye. I am here breaking them down below.

I’m not going to lie, when I saw the opening for this I thought it was just another trailer for Dirty 30.

This one really bothered me for some reason, but why are they using a clip of Johnny Bananas from Rivals? Twenty Episodes of Dirty 30 didn’t give them a clip of Bananas to use?

Looks like a game of bubble soccer, similar to Bounce Out from Free Agents.

Here’s our first shot of an elimination for the season. I have no idea how the fire comes in to play, but the place they’re playing in looks a lot like The Arena from Champs vs. Pros.

Bananas looks like rolled out of bed onto the show.

Bananas and Brad are twinning as it looks like they are walking through an airfield of some sort.

This appears to be Melissa Reeves (Ex on the Beach) yelling at Jemmye and Kam.

This is pretty clearly Cara Maria and Nicole making out. While the history are very complicated so I won’t get into that it is interesting that Nicole now appears to be dating Jay (Jenna’s ex-boyfriend from Real World: Ex-Plosion).

Brad and Britni are the couple in question here. Britni was last seen making out with Derrick K on last season while Brad has spent the past few years arguing with former Challenger and ex-wife Tori on Twitter.

From the tattoos, it looks like Kyle Christie (Geordie Shore) is the one making out with Cara Maria (she seems like she’ll be very busy this season) here.

Jemmye is getting in between a Kam and Nelson fight here.

Now we get Marie telling Brad he’s a moron.

Jemmye, seemingly in the middle of every fight this season, is seen here getting between Nelson and a security guard.

Nelson is struggling in an elimination here, perhaps a Looper style one?

This one looks like Marie covered in soap attempting to climb up a ramp with a ball, similar to Pinata Pit from Gauntlet 3.

Now we get Brad slamming into the back of a car in the incredibly inventive heights over water challenge.

This looks like Joss in an elimination with Derrick Kosinski. I’m not sure how Derrick factors into the season, if he comes in a bit of the way through as an alternate or if it is a Cutthroat heavy hitters style elimination (probably the latter considering they are wearing different colors.)

Now we get Tony telling us he can beat everyone in here, which unless the room is empty seems patently false.

Now we get Devin and Britni streaking through the house, for reasons unbeknownst to me.

Now we get what looks like a good bet for the first or second challenge of the season, in what appears to be a big team challenge with everyone connected by chains a la the Gauntlet 3 final.

The trailer starts to really pick up speed at this point, as we can see what appears to be Rogan O’Connor (Ex on the Beach) passed out on a mountainside.

It seems like the Brits may not have the best endurance as we have Kyle also passed out on the ground here.

Now we get the ever boisterous Nicole yelling at what looks like Shane.

Here Marie is telling Nicole not to trust somebody. I would guess the “somebody” in question is Cara Maria.

This appears to be LeRoy sustaining a serious injury, which could put him out of the game.

Now we get looking classy in a suit.

I would assume they lead into the premiere right after the conclusion of Champs vs. Stars.
