- For years, Wes and Johnny Bananas have entertained us with their rivalry. They’ve gone after each other on ‘Challenge’ after ‘Challenge,’ and, thankfully, their feud shows no sign of slowing down now. Here’s a brief timeline of how things started, escalated, and stayed there.

The smart move for MTV’s UA-cam channel at this point is to just upload all the old seasons and monetize it. I don’t see a problem here, just do it already.
AMERICAN x NIGHTMARE can’t, they have an agreement with Pluto TV. Old seasons play literally all day everyday.
I got rid of Hulu when they stopped carrying Challenge.
Luis Garza Only three or four out of the 33 seasons are on Pluto.
Mary Hearts You they have seasons 23 - 30 on Pluto.
It's criminal how bad they are at growing this show. Impossible to find older seasons, and they re-run ridiculousness 24/7 instead of airing old seasons/current season. This show had/has so much potential to be really big.
If Wes and Bananas were to ever team up they would dominate the challenge house.
obsidian True, but they’ll never trust each other. Too much alike.
Yeah, Bananas has stated on a few podcasts that he wants to team up with Wes in a "Rivals" styled season for that reason, plus their rivalry is more for good TV rather than a legitimate dislike of each other.
Naa Wes is a weak link now
@@mparantha thank you! Their rivalry is not serious. You can tell in the way the are with each other outside of the game. They dont ACTUALLY hate each other. But it makes for good entertainment. And if they partnered up in a game they absolutely would dominate. They're both very good at the "politics" of the game, and they're both legends of the show. I'd love to see them as a team.
@@mparantha yea they use to not like each other fr but jow its just a rivialry thing
Real OGs know that Wes beef was never really with Johnny, it started with Kenny because Kenny banged Joanna on the island after her and Wes broke up
Truth! Speaking the history !
big facts
Facts
Facts Johnny never shut up about it and the heat has stayed lit since
Yes. I was looking for this comment. The golden days of challenge.
Bananas: He's a man he can defend himself
C.T: No he can't
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Iris Irvine that made Johnny laugh lolll
@Cam The Man no doubt but it is funny when CT said that
The most low key insult from CT and Wes didn't see it....bahahaha I'm sure CT and Johnny laugh about it to this day!
CT looked SEXY AF in Rivals 2.
“We will never work together”
*Total Madness enters the chat*
They still clashed lol
John Ocampo sadly
John Ocampo Their elimination doesn’t count as them clashing. That was for the culture
@@breannaxoxo3850 I love them they have to really get in a little more shape wes shave ur beard also less drama and they got it in the bag
@@ezeclipz115 They are in their 40s now. Not likely. Its time they both hang it up
When CT becomes the voice of reason - you've officially cray cray.
Oh God Yes
Wes was real glad that CT was his teamate
CT thrives off of chaos
CT used to be a coked out hothead when he was younger, but he is smarter than he looks. Wes even said this. Whenever he makes observations about castmembers like Jordan and Bananas he is spot on. And he is right. Johnny does always give a joke but he can't take it. I like when Bananas was complaining about Amanda's behaviour and CT said to him "you do the same thing." lmao.
CT standing up for Wes will always be my favorite moment on this show
Made me like CT less.
The influence Wes has in this game is astounding
I feel like CT followed by bananas are the most influential. CT never gets sent into eliminations and rides it all the way to the final except when a rookie is feeling confident enough to vote him in.
I like Bananas, he's entertaining, but Wes just has something in him that draws me to root for him. It's like he's successfully manipulated me without even meeting me. Shit, I'm scared now.
I have zero respect for bananas after what he did to Sara I’d rather see josh than Johnny I a fucking hate josh
Omg frrr
@@jermaineblackanator4763 you rather see a cry baby trash competitor than asshole villain one of the best competitor lmfao you on drugs if you want Josh back
@@jermaineblackanator4763 you blame him for taking the money LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO thats payback johnny is the best challenger ever without question
That’s true about Wes 🤣🤣🤣
I wish we had more players like Wes. His challenge career wasnt just talking about going after Bananad, like everyone does these days. HE actually went after Bananas.
Love how much the game changes when you're partnered with someone. CT rats Wes off to Bananas in BOTE but then in Rivals II he's defending Wes when he starts arguing with Bananas.
He did the same with Adam during rivals 1
Same thing with adam. Y u pick on little kids line. AdAm is A man and ct beat him up twice
Gotta love C.T.
renegade ct is a wild card
Like he said “I defend my teammates”
Watching CT and Wes work together was my favorite season. Love it!
Nothing brings me more joy than seeing the dejected look on Johnny’s face when Wes gets the best of him!
Lmao CT was literally poking and pushing Johnny, but Johnny knew better.
Johnny is a BITCH BOY and terrified of CT, which is why he pushed Wes and not CT.
Why would Johnny stoop to his level ? CT has never won a challenge in his career, hes known for being a hot head and going home early 😂😂......
Ugh CT has wn 5 challenges. Gtfoh
@@romuluspinsord And johnny has won 7 !!!! TF !!!!
how can you not have the Ruins elimination voting scene when Wes and Evelyn flipped out on Johnny?
Exactly!
They don’t wanna show Wes that mad or Johnny lookin like a punk
Production has favorites and Bananas is one of them. Love Bananas tho lol
Wes scared the living shit out of Johnny. It would be too humiliating lol
"You're such a little bitch" iconic.
The coolest thing from this video was knowing that Wes has a monster truck.
I literally LOL'd when Wes said "I'm gonna send your mom a DM" 😂
Ct and wes killed me defending each other😂
It so, weird especially when they was arguing with each other hahaha
The fact this has really spanned over a decade is unreal you’ll think by now middle ground would’ve been met lol
Johnny didn't want no smoke from CT. He was all billy bad ass with Wes, but the moment CT stepped in his face said "Nah, fam I'm good."
He kept looking around CT. He looked so weak doing that! But honestly, on the Ruins Bananas looked scared of Wes. I think he's a pussy. But he's done stuff like stomp over Cara Maria purposely on Free Agents.
Wes enjoyed standing behind CT
@@missdee4927 in west looked weak standing behind him
That just means that Bananas isn't stupid.
@@ZixieSTAR wes punkd out Johnny nasty in the ruins
CT and Wes were my favorite team of any Challenge. And I just wanna see CT, Wes and Bananas on the same team. They'd dominate
Maybe on rivals 4
they’re literally the same person i bet that’s why they clash. they need to partner up together before they retire and just takeover the whole season and then at the end go against each other. PRODUCERS -you’re welcome.
also these last couple seasons have been ight but what mtv needs to do is have a “The Challenge Legends” season where it’s all original/hall of fame/legendary players. the new ones are getting stale.
Alyssa Arsenault Like an Old married couple.
For real though!
hu hu hu
Weeell
Alyssa Arsenault they’re partnering now!!
It’s funny how Johnny just took Kenny’s place by default
Right Evan and Kenny carried him through politics and shit
The best part of their rivalry is always CT clapping in the back like “LETS GO!”
CT and Wes was such a great team
On rivals 2
I just want to thank who ever is on the video editing team for putting together all these beautiful compilation videos of The Challenge to fill my empty life as I wait for the next season to come out! Y’all are the real MVPS!! ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️
Kevin Pham They’d be MVPs if they uploaded all the old seasons! Or atleast played them on TV
It’s great seeing CT out-Alpha Jonny. You see what happens when the bully gets bullied lol
Say all you want but one clearly has more wins than the other
@@LDtheMisanthrope means nothing. He was carried. CT is the goat
On The Challenge USA Watching Bananas walking down and hugging Wes when Wes thought he lost was one of my favorite full circle moments.
I miss Kenny and his rivalry with Wes!! That was the real one! 😭
Wes makes me watch the Challenge. Dude is a champion and entertaining lol
Totally skipped thei fight on Ruins where Wes punked Johnny
This was made with the intention of making Johnny look better. Kind of lame but it's expected.
That's favoritism for you
nichelle harris yea their rivalry was much more evenly matched than this video let on
@@DontBotherMe2day your really dumb if u think ppl running mtv purposely didnt put the clip your talking bout like really think about how dumb that is u said
@@hydrateyourpup8144 The irony in your statement is hilarious.
The greatest love story of the Challenge
matt walters not ct and diem ?
@@dean3438 no they went at each other on exes 1, these 2 made out on total madness, beautiful moment ever lol
Wes in the Ruins was the PEAK of the challenge!!!! Literally sealed him as an ALL STAR
CT is savage for sticking up for his "Rival/Teammate" Wes
Team Wes. Always respected Wes's elimination record even when paired with some worthless partners who cannot win eliminations (Casey, Nany) and his willingness to go against the whole house.
He was the only one to rebel against a whole mob. Him being a villain cost him a few championships. He wanted all the smoke.
@Zeben Solomon you mean the day after he was relfrom hospital and was sick? Context matters.
Wes is a piece of human garbage and will never win again
@@denisemal7027 he just won All Stars 3 lol
no finale will EVER beat kenny carrying wes AND the rocks up that mountain
I remember when Johnny bananas had friends in the challenge.... He won alot back then but he doesn't win without friends anymore
L J cause it’s also a political game
This comment won't age well when the next season airs.
He won Free Agents that was by himself
@@tkh525 right johnny wins. Funny how johnny hadn't won because he got screwed alot tbh. Johnny should've had 3 more final wins
Thats how he always play the game though .. He hid behind people.. While he control the game... And made it too the finale
Lets be real. It originally was Wes and Kenny, but after Kenny was no longer invited it turned into Wes and Johnny. Team Wes all the way.
kevin lopez now bananas and Wes are workin together Ahahha
Word
Kenny was invinted but stopped wanting to come on JS
@@AkronJosh Kenny was banned for rape
@@AkronJosh nah Kenny is banned due to harassment allegations
them teaming up on the latest season is probably one of the smartest moves in challenge history
They need to bring back turbo that dude is great 😂😂
cristian teran Hes off bc he got in a fight right?
YOU CANNOT COPY HIS WALK!!! 😂
@@gmak3090 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Valk rather
I think everyone was scared of him. Lol Turbo would’ve carried the US team alone in the final in War of the Worlds 2. Man is a whole army. 💪🏽
My favorite is when Turbo was acting nuts and seeing formerly "smash his head and eat it" CT's wtf expression.
Johnny started a rivalry with Wes, Wes beef was and always was with Kenny once Kenny and Evan got banned Johnny took on this fake rivalry with Wes
ton4 real thought i was the only one that remembered that Wes’ biggest rival was actually Kenny and it was real and went beyond the game.
bolu o oh yea new challenge fans don’t even know
What was his beef with Kenny I can’t remember lol
King slime it was because of Johanna. Wes and Jo met on RW Aus and were engaged. Kenny ended up dating her and they fought over her for a long time. can’t remember if she left Wes for Kenny or not.
King slime Wes was dating Joanna from their season of the real world Austin which they briefly broke up before she went on to the challenge islands, Joanna ended up hooking up with Kenny, Wes thought him and Kenny being pretty cool on fresh meat 1 that kenny might have gave him a heads up before it aired being him Joanna had a house together and engaged at one point but he didn’t and pretty much just flaunted on the reunion to gain more attention
Put the old seasons on your website please!!
CT laughs after Wes’s bmw monster truck comment took me out 🤣🤣
They completely skipped some of the best moments the first fight between Wes & Bananas on The Ruins or when Wes whooped his ass and won MVP when Johnny tried to pull that stunt with ohh I have a representative of the special Olympics so that's gonna give me MVP. Then when he didn't win he said Wes concocted some plan for that not to happen and then there's of course when Wes had trouble with a knot in the final challenge and Bananas had an epiphany because he beat Wes in a swim challenge because of it.
I always like that line when Johnny came back into the game when he was paired with Nany. He said something like Wes, you look like someone just took a dump in your birthday cake.
@@mr.perksy nah i think he said just looked like somebody just stepped over your grave or sum like that
@Cam The Man Dude you are pathetic. All you do is go online and shit on Wes. Everything you do is about shitting on Wes. Get a life! You have a serious problem. You need professional help with your extremely weird over obsessive obsession with Wes Bergmann
@@benjaminmartinez1638 all he does is go online and shit on a lot of ppl because he likes to argue with ppl. He does the same on Instagram and he's a dumb ass
They look so young here. Wow, C.T. Was HOT. What ever happened to Kenny? Forgot about him. They really disliked each other when they were younger, now more mature rivalry. You could see the change in their faces. Growin up.
Something about an alleged rape and a lawsuit I think
Nes yeah apparently Kenny was being a creep when one of the girls were sleeping thinking it was funny
Lawsuit. Rape allegation from Tanya/Tonya whatever her name was. We never saw him on there again🤷🏾♀️
Kenny and Evan sexually assaulted Tonya with a used toothbrush while she was passed out. I've seen Evan walking around the streets of NYC a couple of times. He was stumbling drunk and sad-looking both times.
K D100 did Kenny not host a mtv show after that??
One of the best things in challenge history. Must-See TV when these two (CT, too) go at it. 2 of the best the show has ever seen.
The Rivarly for sure ended in War of The Worlds, from The Ruins - Rivals 3 it was real hate in the game lol. They LOVE EACH OTHER HAHA
Johnny Bananas vs Wes The Rivalry is Never going to end
People still want to see the fake Wes vs Johnny rivalry? Couldn't be me. Johnny desperately needs to take a break. All his storylines are fake and forced. Wes was so refreshing to see when he took a few seasons off then came back on WOTW.
He doesnt take a break and wins the next season. Dont be a hater.
Guess who's winning this season? The guy that needs to take a break
"I'm gonna send your Mom a DM" OMG the Wes / Johny Banter is EPIC!
I'm so happy they became friends them becoming friends last season made me sooo happy!!! just seeing them work together was amazing and so happy my main man BANNANS got the winnnn🤪💕💕🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!
Anyone else over his nickname?? 😂 I’m calling you Johnny, John
Amazing edit. Really appreciate whoever is in charge of the UA-cam channel
Bananas- "He's a man, he can defend himself!"
CT- "No he can't."
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Ladies & gentlemen, I prove to you why as much as Johnny & Wes are “different”, the more they are the same. 👏 👏 👏 both winners of the challenge, but are both hateful of HOW the other wins. 🏁
I can’t believe y’all didn’t show their fight in the Ruins, that shit was crazy.
Lmao, the award for the fakest rivalry goes to: Bananas and Wes 🤣💀!!
This is the greatest duo EVER!!
k. c. Sup
@@christianboxmark9448 😂😂 🍼💦
801 MOTO don’t hate stay thirsty
@@christianboxmark9448 lol
man i can’t believe i was watching these & all the drama @ 10 years old ahahahhhaha
“You threw in our best player over some emotional bullshit”
REALLY rich coming from Paulie, especially in this season.
To be fair he wasn’t wrong
especially after last season, where he threw kyle in at every opportune moment.
These two have been rivals for so damn long but have never been partnered together. That’s crazy lol, if they were ever to be partnered they would DOMINATE the challenge! Come on producers make this happen!
Johnny and Wes have a long history and I’m loved
Bananas worst rivalry is definitely Devin. He gets along, somewhat, with Cory and Wes. With Devin, they have nothing but hate for each other.
The difference is Devin did it for clout. He likes being his rival.
@@soysaucescumbag4310 what caused their rivalry??
@@lazndora2026 Devin ran his mouth on rivals 3 starting a fued with Jamie, Wes, Cory, Vince and Bananas. Basically the whole house
@@lazndora2026 when bananas took the money instead of sharing with with Sara
Wes and Kenny, that was the tag team of the Kansas City Chief and Mr.Beautiful !
This is not about titles or money, but who the better man is at the end of the day. It is all about pride. God Bless.
god can you imagine these two on a team together. Scary stuff. However they would be the single biggest targeted team in challenge history
We'll see soon
This kinda remind me how many challenges Wes got screw on, by the game itself. Should have atleast 4 or 5 wins by now.
first clip aged great 😂 who retired first, wes?
What I love about Wes is that the man knows how to keep his words in targeting Bananas in anyway possible
Don't we all love this fake rivalry 😆. We know that they don't really hate each other in real life. Just in the game.
Neh-Bih Sangbong I think they did at one time. But with age and maturity, it’s more game now. Still both have big egos and competitive.
@@silvergirl3688 True
@@silvergirl3688 Yeah, over time they realized their "beef" benefits them both to the point where they are arguably the two biggest stars on the show currently. Those two have the highest appearance fees no doubt
Neh-Bih Sangbong Bananas literally stated in multiple reunions that he likes Wes outside of the challenge but when they get inside, Wes turns into completely different person that he doesn’t like
They take lie detectors on Maury. According to the lie detector, Bananas genuinely dislikes Wes, but Wes doesn't not like Bananas.
You guys should've included the "Ruins" season. When Wes ran up on bannanas and called him a "Bitch" haha
I love these two, part of me wants them to work together cause they are my favorites (besides CT) but the other part wants this stuff to continue 😂
Crazy how they are the best of friends now
CT is such a baddass and he's been through so much and has grown so much. Definitely the GOAT in my eyes.
Facts lol
I love how much tj takes joy on them fighting 😂
PLEASE UPLOAD ALL THE CHALLENGES
The best part of the “rivalry” is that they actually like each other lol. Definitely dramatized for TV purposes. Two of the best to ever do it.
as the seasons go on, Wes doesn’t even really look like he wants to compete, especially in the last challenge w Bear.
Hes way out of his prime i went back to season 20 a week ago and he was jacked had the perfect body now hes a old washed man
HydrateYourPup sadly a lot of our favs ages are showing (nothing wrong w that). not everyone can be a Darrell 😭
@@bo-jf7nj age means nothing ct a beast I think they just don't train as hard as they use to wes said he had 30 companys like 10 years ago so I assume hes to busy to be training for a mtv show with 20 year olds its understandable
HydrateYourPup very true. CT is still doing well despite his weight gain. WOTW2 he was always finishing amongst the top five within his team. Either the newer competitors aren’t that great or experience is more valuable than physique
@@bo-jf7nj That elimination with Bear, they said he was sick and been in and out the hospital. Half of the US team had got some bacterial infection or something. Faith was one of them
The last challenge when they made amends was so cool! They are both badasses! Now that Wes needs a new protegè I'm ready to learn the game!
Wes will always remain superior than johnny in every aspect.
he doesnt need to hide behind a group of people or play a scared game. he's the greatest challenger. elimination king!!
@Cam The Man you are a new fan lmfao i wont even bother with someone so clueless.
a not even top 5. Johnny stays the GOAT of the challenge and it isn’t debatable. What is debatable though is Wes even being a top 5 challenge player 😂😂. Johnny, Kenny, CT, Landon and Derrick are all better than him so..
True like ya 7 time champ but he has the worst elimination history and he has the most appearances on the challenge the real goats like say Darell who has 4 consecutive championship don't appear as much as him niether do wes or CT or laural or Sarah or Jordan
wes won 2 out of 18 seasons and bananas has won 7 out of 20, bananas is better
Lol, Bananas objectively has a much more impressive resume than Wes does. It's not even close. Wes reminds me a lot of Tyson in Survivor. That is not a compliment. A pretty good but very arrogant player who thinks he's some all-time great and has delusions of grandeur.
CT literally carried Bananas home during the elimination, he literally turned around and made Bananas land on his face 😂
Can we get an official season 35 announcement please
Don't need one... Bananas wins lol
dennylafoss im not the only one that gets on vevmo 😂
@@dennylafoss Don't forget about Jenny (aka Jodi 2.0) If she didn't flop in that elimination against Tori she was probably destined to win the previous season too.
Literally the greatest rival ever exist on the challenge , so much time and mental chess played over decades of challenges
Wes hates Bear, cuz he’s a mini Wes, when he was younger. Cocky. Too bad they didn’t team up.
There's still hope that they will in the future!
Alex Wray That would be epic! Hope Wes’ ego would allow it.
Except Bear can't win very many things.
I miss Wes soooo much! I definitely didn't appreciate him enough lol that level of entertainment feels like a thing of the past with challenges.
God, Johnny always turns into such a big scaredy cat when he gets called in for eliminations and he sucks at them so it makes sense I guess. But just man up and get shit done
We need Wes to come back. U know bananas and him are low key buddies now
They posted this knowing damn well they were teaming up
Johnny was utterly afraid (and still) of CT
Team Wes all the way since the beginning!! �️ ❤️
Bananas got the last laugh on Total Madness 😎 love both of them tho and shout out to Wes for winning All Stars season 3🤘
For some reason I always was wit Wes and hated Johnny
ive literally never see them win shit🧐 I feel like whenever u throw in new people esp theyre vulnerable. Ct tho...thats a different story😆
@@sdprecords6599 ...huh?
@Cam The Man ct just won war of the worlds 2 though. He isnt a spring chicken anymore but the guy can still play.
CHEERS TO WESTONS RETIREMENT 🍻 love this guy
Wes > Bannanas
Dont @ me
I think he’s a better cast member even if bananas has won more. Wes is more versatile, he pretty much narrates every season he’s done even if he doesn’t make it to the end like FM2 and the ruins
the rivals/exes seasons were soooooo good
A little weird that Kenny & Evan are banned yet they'll continue to use their likeness
Need more content like this
Ew I forgot about Camilla. She’s a great competitor but after what she said to Leroy I lost all respect for her.
What did she say?
She called him black. If I recall.
StreetBikeJay Taylor yeah why did she have to point that out tho? Race should have nothing to do with an argument about something else.
@@restingwitchface666 And last week she still justifying her actions instead of taking accountability of her mistakes. Even with time off she still haven't felt any remorse of what she did
Yeah I agree that was uncalled for. Leroy didn't deserve that. He's the most chillest dude on the challenge.
When CT and Wes play together, they are like the MJ and Pippen of The Challenge
5:53 the best moment in challenge history: When Kenny Carris Wes in Rivals 1.
12:58 “The Human Springroll” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
