The Challenge
The insanely long - go MTV reality show competitionThe Challengehas a foresighted and storied story , and a few of the regular contestants on the series have become nearly synonymous with the show itself . And one of the show ’s most memorable , accomplished , and divisive players has got to be Johnny " Bananas " Devenanzio .
Since his initial MTV introduction onThe tangible World : Key West , Bananas has been featured ona whopping 19 seasons of the serial . And as the participant who has been on more time of year ( and won more seasons ) than anyone else , he has certainly had some epical wins along with some monumental fails . These are his best and worst moments onThe Challenge .
Win: Playing Every Aspect Of The Game
Bananas is an undeniably polarizing frame in the story ofThe Challenge , and he can make himself pretty gruelling to rootle for sometimes .
But he does deserve credit when it come to act the game , as he was one of the first competitors to realize how many different Angle of the biz can be played out of doors of the literal competitions . He ’s not the only one to do it , but he ’s sure one of the good at it , and it ’s gotten him pretty far in hisChallengecareer .
Fail: Going Nuclear Every Time He’s A Target
No one like to be make into liquidation , no one like being a target for any ground , and no one ever react well when they realise that they are a quarry .
However , Johnny ’s tantrums over being a potential campaigner for voiding or even just know that someone might be coming for him tend to be a lot more intense than most of the other challenger . He talks about himself like he ’s the giving game role player of them all , but the moment anyone else starts spiel he starts screaming that the rule are n’t fair .
Win: Becoming Friends With Cara Maria
Now this might not seem like an heroic acquirement in the history of Bananas on the aerofoil , but it really is . Thecurrent condition of their friendship not withstanding , the fact that Johnny seemed to develop a genuinely tender kinship with someone that he hated means a good deal .
He has never been known for treating people of the female salmagundi very well , and Cara Maria seemed to be one of his least favorite noblewoman for a long time , so the development of their relationship shows that Johnny ’s due date may have developed a minuscule too .
Fail: Losing To Devin
Honestly there is no shame in losing an elimination , especially turn a loss an elimination to Devin , who is a pretty firm performer in world-wide . However , this became one of Johnny ’s braggart fail entirely because of Johnny .
Bananas spent a entirely disproportional amount of screentime dragging Devin as a person and a player , and he represent as if the melodic theme that a lay-up like Devin could ever pulsate him at anything was so absurd that it ’s insulting . And then … he fall back to Devin in an excreting .
Win: Getting Everything Out Of Rivals
The Challengehas created dozens of dissimilar format ideas , but the mind for Rivals may just be the best . WhenRivals Ibegan no one have it away what was going to happen , and these duos of instrumentalist who detest each other had to discover a way to make it work .
Bananas and his partner Tyler wound up winning the time of year , but this winnings matte up like a special one . Winning the money is always the ending goal , but the relationship that Tyler and Bananas developed through their forced teamwork was a reasonably boastful winnings too .
Fail: The Island
So you know how we said that Bananas is a pretty polarizing figure among Challenge fans ? Yeah , well his awful behavioral video display onThe Islandare the perfect representative of why .
Now , the dudes onThe Challengearen’t exactly known as bastion of feminism , but the way that Johnny treated the young lady on this season ofThe Challengewas so obscene that it is still remember byChallengefans more than a decade later . Even if the ladies like Bananas , it does n’t seem like he ’s a big fan of them .
Win: Winning Free Agents
Like a wad of vets , Bananas has used his experience in the game to get pretty far in a luck of the seasons that he appeared on . That strategy of ex-serviceman favourable position seems to be fading , but for a while they easily dominate the game . It was a powerful enough sway that some people might have argued that Johnny did n’t earn some of his wins , and even that he was n’t the competitor that he claimed to be .
However , the fact that he wonFree Agents , a solo competition that ride entirely on a competitor ’s ability to perform , certainly put that idea to pillow .
Fail: Custom Made Johnny Bananas Backpack
Look , there is a reason that anyone who has ever set foot on aChallengewas afraid to go up against CT in anything . It ’s basically like being a normal mortal and asking to fistfightWolverine .
However , there are few instances where CT proved his physical superiority that are more striking than the moment that he terminate what is arguably the most memorable Challenge elimination ever in about 15 second , with his " competitor " Johnny Bananas strapped to his back , flailing like a helpless , lost germ try desperately to right itself .
Win: Winning The Most Challenges
plainly the biggest win in the career of Mr. Bananarama is just that , winning . Regardless of what he ’s done or how anyone sense about him , the fact is that he ’s wonThe Challengemore than anyone else ever has .
In his thumping 19 appearances over the course of the show ’s 35 seasons , Johnny has gain The Challenge six time , which is a record that truly verbalize for itself . Everything else can only get anyone so far , and in the end when it comes to a prospicient Challenge career , winning is what matters .
Fail: Taking The Money And Running
Everyone always knew that Johnny Bananas was a fishy instrumentalist , but no one realized quite how shady he was untilRivals 3 , where he spent the intact season playing Sarah , acting as if they were acquaintance , and then direct all of the prize money when they finally won the whole shebang .
His justification for the move was unconvincing , and while he ’s now not the only someone to take the dirty money money from their married person thanks to Ashley , the fact that he spent then intact season make Sarah " earn back his friendly relationship " after send off him into excreting once , only to take all of the money that was truly hers , was a career - definingly grimy fail on his part .
