The Best Rookie Performance of Each Season of The Challenge! Part 1 of 3 (S1-15)

[@SupplementalSense]

Season 5 will always be my favorite Challenge season. The Miz vs. Theo Von rivalry was the best ever. Real World vs. Road Rules is why The Challenge exists and I felt like they casted the best of the best at the time for this season.

[@RookieRevo]

It is one of the best casts I completely agree with that!

[@OwariDa_]

I personally disagree with fresh meat 1 I think Evan was the standout male for the season. Coral was great and all but Evan was the star player and made her look better than what she was

[@themoistgreenorganic]

I always think that Sarah G’s season is too overlooked, her performance was legendary by winning the gauntlet time and time again. I forgot she won her season, makes it even more badass!

[@detox408]

Dan from Challenge 2000 also won Battle of The Sexes 2, on which, Arissa was kept around by the men as a layup cuz she sucked at so many missions. Sophia and Robin were better team players and competitors

[@DCMO.14]

For Inferno 3 rookies its easily Davis over Tyrie for guys. Yes he was underwhelming but did not do horrible and also did win one inferno, not to mention out of everyone from the Denver cast he made it the farthest, being eliminated right before the final

[@superhotsexyfunnyperson]

I always think Landon and Mark are the same person 😭

[@itzwakk335]

10:08 yes casey was the worst girl by far but they had FAR less weight to carry thankfully

[@loganarnoldkicks4321]

I'm just about finished with Battle of the Sexes 2 and haven't seen any seasons earlier than that, so my picks would have to be: Battle of the Sexes 2 - The Inferno II - Easily Jamie and Landon The Gauntlet 2 - MJ & Jillian Fresh Meat - Wes & either Diem or Aviv ( I feel like Aviv should also be equally considered because while she wasn't all that memorable, she won two dailies, the ONLY pardon of her season, and an exile with Darrell. Considering she and her partner got Diem and Derrick out, I almost feel like she should have the edge, but Diem and Derrick's three daily wins and her strategy puts her in the lead overall) The Duel - Nehemiah & Svetlana The Inferno 3 - I guess Davis by default (I easily would have picked Tyrie, but Davis at least won an Inferno) and Jenn ?? (I love Jenn, but Janelle won her rookie season and a life shield, so I almost want to put her, but she was never in any danger of going home, where Jenn was often in danger) The Gauntlet III - Tori Hall & Derek McCray

It’s still so hard to me that the mirror was on here because by the time I started watching he was fully off of this show and fully in WWE! I knew he did MTV the real world because he was made fun of it because of! But never knew he was on the challenge until he was a host!

[@chwaftka9775]

Why was Jillian not picked for best rookie of The Gauntlet 2? She didn’t really ever perform badly, and would’ve won if Kina didn’t just not wanna compete against Ibis despite her being weak.

[@anthonyfregala]

Inferno 2 will remain the Supreme season to me too

[@ThaFriskyOne]

Great vid, do you know where I can watch seasons 2, 3 and 4?

[@Roman19737]

Pbs sorry for late comment get free trial

[@C.Mustard]

I heard they can’t be watched because of music/copyright issues. plus trust me, the early seasons are border line unwatchable. Bad editing, Short run time, Extremely dated. On top of all that the resolution they used back then looks shitty on modern television

[@caedenbross7967]

Seeing as you highlighted Kendal and Arissa as good "one-hit wonder" rookies, how did you feel seeing them return for All-Stars?

[@patrick_tn_]

Found your channel on Fandom, and it’s amazing! Great video and great series, keep up the good work!

[@RookieRevo]

Thank you so much, this comment made my day!

[@LukasSchieck]

Love your content, thank you

[@RookieRevo]

Thank you man!

[@C.Mustard]

RIP Diem!

[@okolo22000]

I would’ve gone with these options: Colin or Antoine: BotS 1 Sophia: BotS 2 Jillian: Gauntlet 2 Aviv: Fresh Meat Davis: Inferno 3 Every other challenge I didn’t mention means that I agree with you.

[@benjaminmartinez1638]

Dunbar better than Kelly Anne ?! Not a chance in hell!!!

[@RookieRevo]

Dunbar and KellyAnne are in part 2 and I separate the males and females! I think you will like part 2!

[@whitneytrevon]

I always thought Sarah Greyson was a bit overrated. She was very fortunate to mostly draw that Dead Man’s Drop elimination which she was a master at. Her performance in the daily comps that season worsened as the season went on, and she was easily the weakest player left on the Road Rules team for the final. There was a reason why she won so many eliminations. RR were right to throw her in as much as they did. Plus, it didn’t help that Darrell and Rachel R had poor experiences with her on their Campus Crawl season (where Sarah would even admit she sucked). Problem is that the other female rookies that season didn’t perform that great. Trishelle got a raw deal that season because Coral was really bad that season, but had the clout of winning 2 seasons before. Mike was totally right to vote her in to The Gauntlet when he did. Elka, Rachel B, Irulan, and Trishelle performed better than her that season in dailies. Tina was forgettable (also overrated overall as a player), Katie wasn’t good, and you can maybe make an argument for Cara.

[@rudymelchiorre5613]

How do you find the early seasons?

[@tiieeeem]

Great video but my opinions are as follows and why: Season 8- Inferno 1: Female: Christina, I think competitively she performed better than Kendall just sucks that she's forgotten Season 9- Battle of the Sexes 2: Female: (Great choice in Arissa however...) Sophia, again competitively performed better than Arissa and was in the final 3 girls earning 2nd place alongside Arissa and Coral. Though Arissa played better politically aligning herself with the veterans ladies and staying away from being a leader when the missions became harder for the women towards the endgame so I think choosing her is great as well. HOWEVER had it not been for the guys team throwing the final mission to secure Arissa's place in the final then she would've went home and I also give Coral credit for Arissa's stragetic game considering Coral kept her around as a lay up in case she an Arissa were team captains and lost. Sophia was better competitively as was Robin. Season 12- Fresh Meat: Male: Evan, far better politically and competitively than Wes. He and Coral were walking straight to the final had it not been for their injuries that disqualified them. Evan being DQ'd changed the entire trajectory of the game from that point on enabling Wes and Tina to align by default. Female: Aviv, she kicked ass on her rookie season and won. Casey merely lucked out being partnered with Wes. Season 14- Inferno 3: Male: Davis, her deserved it. He went into the Inferno against Danny and won so it's not like he was carried to the end and so happened to lose the last male Inferno. Female: Janelle, played politically and avoided the Inferno walking to the final to win the season. She also won a life-shield which Jenn failed to do.

[@TheKidwonda]

No way Coral was the best female rookie on BOTS

[@tajhstallworth5710]

How was Arissa the best rookie of BOTS2? She was a goat for the Guys team and she consistently did terrible

[@jaymchugh8868]

idk about Arissa bro.

[@RookieRevo]

Out of all Challenge seasons I have the least recollection about S9 I think just by it being hard to find I’ve only seen it once and it was a long time ago.

[@princetoni09]

Yeah she only made it because she barley stepped up and the girls always lost which put her in the inner circle most of the time. When she step up to be leader on they last mission before the finals. the boys purposely lost to ensure she made in the finals because she was horrible at the challenge and I believe mark Sacrifices his self for Eric to make it to the final three it should have been given to Tina or robin that season

[@C.Mustard]

lol Landon. I always hated him.
