If TJ ever decides to retire from hosting The Challenge, and CT retires from competing, it’s only right to let CT host.
Yes!!!! I couldn't agree more!
I say they even co-host AND give the hosts confessional time!
he’s the only person I’d accept as the host 😅
I 👏 love 👏 this 👏
Omg I so freaking agree that would be amazing
I love how his face just light up when he’s talking about Diem . I hope that one day he will find love like that again. All the best wishes to you CT , thankyou for the entertainment you have provided us with xo
And how he subtly looks away from the camera whenever he gets sad😢❤️
I'm so glad he's been able to open up about her.
Yes it’s heartbreaking 😢@@shanemiller6252
CT and Cara Maria will always be The Challenge for me.
I have been watching since 1998.
Evelyn,Rachel,Tina come in second.
Keeping my eye on Horacio,Nurys,Ravyn,and Kyland even though I didn't like him on Big Brother.
Anything CT is on, WE WILL WATCH!! 😍😍 Watching his evolution over the years has been so cool. What a guy.
Seriously! The only reason I started watching Traitors was bc CT was on it ❤
CT is a pure human being and the heart and soul of The Challenge. Current contestants can only hope to be as well loved as Ct and it is because he is talented, yes, but mostly because of his humility and humanity. Love me some CT. ❤❤❤
Okay hear me out TJ and CT as the host and we bring back the OG’s and make everything an individual challenge, individual vote, individual wins. We gotta see CT in 40🙏🏾 Win or Lose this man is the Goat of the challenge and needs a proper farewell if he doesn’t continue🥰 He isn’t just in the game when he’s there, he is the game🥰♥️ Loved watching this, I cried like a baby every time Diem was brought up💜 R.I.P Diem you filled hearts of so many. You’ll never be forgotten✨🕊️💜 It’s time for Cara to get you back to the gym CT you got another challenge we’re waiting for you to do🥰You got this, give us that bang we know you got in you🥰
I adore CT
It will be amazing seeing ct on season 40 he is going to be amazing
I agree that CT is the only one who could step for TJ. I have watched him grow and mature since the beginning of The Real World. CT is a winner and everyone loves to watch him. He’s hilarious and keeps it real!
Absolutely loves this episode!! What a great man - you should be proud CT!!!
Such a great episode. The GOAT of the challenge. Forever our favourite
CT is my favourite challenger by far ❤❤❤
Im gonna be 90 with dementia reminiscing about CT on The Challenge while all my kids and grandbabies are like “uh huh, yeah Gramma, you love the CT scans, dontcha(??)”
CT you are the Best
seeing Bananas in the background with tears in his eyes when Faith and CT walked out had me sad
My legend for life
"Just when you think you have all the answers, life goes and changes all the questions." Well said, CT. You're the best! 🥰
Literally just wrote that quote down...
That was deep. Editors and CT did a great job.
Roddy piper said this back in the 80s
Exactly, It's not new, I don't know how come they never heard it before. Lool I mean I grew up hearing this without knowing who said it, and they are over here almost making a statue for CT 😂😂😂
@teesceeo yeah, we've all heard some version of that quote before, and it fit perfectly with his narrative. If you were a real fan, you'd remember all the years of people giving him shit for his accent and his mumbling. I love seeing him so well- spoken and confident. Be gone, troll.
Best moment of The Challenge 39 was CT saying he wants to compete on season 40. I'm looking forward to this Home Turf episode.
Make a tiny table talk about the episode!!
CT is the goat
I adored this episode!! Thank you Ct!!!❤
Curious is you are going to make a recap video about this episode. If so, I would like more than just a recap. A little discussion would be nice to include.
💯
You can still see the love he still has for Diem he truly loved her.
Soulmates.
grow up! hes an actor from a show! nothing more!
Youre pathetic. He dated diem. She died from cancer, he still has love for her and struggled with the loss of her. Dont call him an actor ignoring the real pain and love he had for her@@phillyphil4824
He always will
He was hella cheating on her though.
I never knew about Bananas helping Diem like that so sweet ❤
I didn’t know this either. Made me think differently of him. Made him be more human.
Is this going to be on every Monday night
Nor did I so that was interesting
Yes I didn't either. Awesome❤
Bananas does have a heart 🥺
The way he gives credit to Cara. The way he still talks about Diem, and the way he acknowledges every other person on the show. Such a big heart
He's a big softie ❤
@@o1cyrstalclear Literally watched the ice in his veins melt forever over petty things in life and unfortunately humbled by loss and plagued with guilt. I’ve seen every emotion except weakness come from this man’s soul over the years. He’s been low and high, he’s been loved and hated, he’s fallen and gotten right back up every time with the support of MTV, the Challenge family, and patience with himself. He’s the best version of Chris , I mean CT, that he can be and continues to evolve and grow to this day. Way to go CT, shout out Please 🙏 to T.J. Lavin , for showing the WORLD what facing your fears and conquering the final beast in the end, death. Way to go guys, you’re inspiring.
This is better than the entire season 39
Well said haha
And 39 has been better than the past 4 seasons
@@kolbynelson228no it hasn’t
@@Jduhon702 LMAO. Y’all just say that bc it doesn’t have the same washed up vets. I guess y’all love them, but I get tired of seeing Tori/Devin/Kaycee/Josh every damn season so yes it is
Facts!
"Now of all the sudden, I'm Big Easy" 😅
Only real ones know.
CT was the best person to jump this series off. He's largely the most misunderstood character of this franchise but honestly, the most loved; at least in my household. I got my husband stuck on this show and CT is BY FAR his favorite.
Hearing CT finally be able to talk about Diem warms my heart. CT is an amazing guy and has alot of love in his heart.
Yes he was never ever able to because of his now ex wife.
I thought so too. After losing a soulmate like that, I probably couldnt talk about it either
@@jayjay85928 Boy do I agre with this. It had to really be hard on her, as he never stopped loving Diem.
@@nevarhoden1 the ex wife was actually mean to him, she was with for the money. There wedding story just watch and you can tell and she has a horrible vibe.
PLEASE BRING CT TO SEASON 40!!!!! what a guy!!!! awesome competitor, better person!!
For us that got to see him since the beginning it’s been great to watch him in any challenge.
Absolutely! I've watched every challenge. I watched his Real World shoe also. Always loved him. After that fight with Adam I didn't think we'd every see him on the challenge again. So glad I was wrong! 🤞 He still has 1 more in him. ❤❤
It’s like a part of our lives too. We grew up along side them
@marywilson5192 oh yea definitely. I'm so glad he got a second chance after that incident
I could literally listen to CT talk all day long 😊
I sometimes have to put on the subtitles, but oh do I love The Boston Mumble
CT is not only my favorite Challenger but just one of my all time favorite souls. There’s just nobody like him. He was always fun to watch and he’s grown into such an amazing man. Love you, CT!!! ❤❤❤❤❤
He really has. Diem would've been very proud of him! ❤
I hated him during the JEK era but now he’s my favorite challenger ❤️
❤
I've been watching you since the beginning and have loved every minute of it. Thank you. 🎉
What’s JEK? Is that around the time his brother was murdered?
If Mtv went back through all of their footage and pieced together a mini series of CT and Diem it would be the most watched series they ever put together. ❤
MTV kind of did. They had a special called 'Fighting Cancer at 29' and 'We Heart Diem,' both on Diem, but also one called 'The Best of CT & Diem' of the both of them.
ua-cam.com/video/WBaPHdKkn-w/v-deo.htmlsi=xhft4mk1iexz1iVB
Why am I a grown ass man still crying when CT talk about Diem
Same
Because you're a man with a heart! ❤
Because we know she was the love of his life. We only get one of those soulmates we get those threw out our lives with friends, partners. And his ex wife was just using him but at least he got his son out of it.
Cause you're a sweetheart 🥹
I teared up, too.
It definitely hit me in the feels dept.
CT is, and will always be my favorite Challenger. I will always root for him🐐
Me too!
I love him❤I tell my husband he’s my adopted son 🤣🤣🤣
@Sandie1214 I was accused years ago of being his mom or aunt because I have always defended him fiercely... lol my sons who are the reason I even watched (they weren't allowed to watch MTV if I wasn't present) Real World and Road rules find that weird but love it
Agreed ❤
Same.
Yupp, I lost it when he started talking about Diem.. 😭💔
Me toooooo
Same... Big time... 🕊️
Same I loved both of them together
Same 😢 there will never be another relationship like them!
U not alone!!! Their love was pure & TRUE… Definitely something to watch!!!
CT is so dang smart. At the end, he mentions that none of the newbies coming up seem to be having much fun. I think that's a major reason why the challenges for the past 5ish years have been so bland and boring. Everyone is just concerned about social media and becoming influencers, and taking the game so seriously. Shows why he's the best.
Bananas is the most accomplished but I think CT is the most virtually loved
CT is accomplished though he's been in a few movies acting/producing and starting to venture out to other reality shows like traitors.
in Banana's Home Turf, he said CT won more money overall.
Most loved? 😂 Who said that ? Jk but Tbh I haven’t watched the challenge in years so he’s still the ct who beat Adam unmercifully to me 🤷🏻♀️
@@thompthomphe has Changed so much since then he doesn’t even fight anymore
Definitely. I think many of us have grown up over the years, while seeing his growth on the show. ❤️
CT and Diem are my Roman Empire ❤️🥺
I miss her. I wish she was still here. I'm glad CT was finally able to open up and talk about her publicly. Even though it isn't easy, I'm sure it's helped him heal a little bit
Yes!!! Their LOVE was something to watch… Built off a true friendship!!! That was CT true love Frfr… I miss her!!! 🕊️🕯️
Miss her too. ❤
I love how during this episode it kept circling back to her. I love their story 🤧🥹😭
I cried every time he talked about her.
Diem & CT experienced a once in a lifetime kind of love. It's something so beautiful.
Absolutely love this but sadly proves this show can't survive without the CT, Johnny, Cara generation
The new generation of Jay, Fessy, josh just don't have what it takes to carry the show without them
Seems crazy they excluded Fessy and Josh from 39
With the CT, Johnny, and Cara generation, the show didn't go casting for influncers type and let earlier challengers personality shine through instead. Also, the show didn't provide a gym for the challengers within the house in the beginning seasons and neither on the season Cara debuted on the show.
The show needs to go back to the basics of hiring non influencers type and get rid of the home gym at The Challenge house if they want to continue the show's longevity even when CT, Cara, Johnny, etc. retire. Because like CT stated within the video, the new people are focused on the money and not creating memories.
The show needs to bring back the genuine fun that challengers had by having less of making it a sports show and influencer show and more of show of people having fun in the process of trying to win some money like in the early challenge days of when it was called Real World/Road Rules Challenge.
@m.86719 its crazy too because every comment i see always says they need to make it more competitive and sportsy. I’ve always felt it needed to be more “home parties” with the props nd jokes they bring. Memories of the good ol days for sure
@@capriceclassic3667 To make it more sportsy a better fit would be if the network brought back Road Rules. That's where it is more sportsy and competitive with their missions. Making The Challenge more sportsy would have the contestants sustain more injuries.
I have watched the show since the beginning and stopped at Cutthroat. Took a long break before watching The Challenge again due to life. I was shocked how serious and lifeless the show was compared to when I used to watch it when I watched the season of SLA. Everyone wearing sponsorship clothes just makes it lifeless among the contestants taking it too seriously.
I could see why CT said the quote he said on the show. As a viewer of past seasons to watching the SLA season when it aired was like night and day.
The old season OGs were competitve but knew how to let loose and have fun and it wasn't all game talk being discussed all the time on the show. I don't know if it's the editing, but the contestants really need to let loose and be more laid back and not uptight to constantly be thinking about the game and the gameplay of the game all the damn time.
@@NamPham-jk5zcis it me or they excluded all big brother players?
Thank you so much for making this!!!!
Just when you think you have all the answers, life will go and change all the questions - CT ❤
CT and Diem will forever have my heart.
Me too. Diem would be so proud of him! ❤
@@daniellerose1114 Absolutely 🥺🥺
Agree 100%, and Diem would be absolutely beyond proud of the man he's become. He's grown so much over the years.
@@MissaLVT Soooo much! I know she’s smiling so beautifully down at him.
@@MissaLVTI always wonder if he would have became the same man had he not lost Diem. I think the loss of her made him want to be a better man for her.
Aww when he was gushing about Diem. It was so precious. I’ve only seen him recoil because of the pain but that was really nice
CT is a truly genuine person and that’s not something you really see in people much anymore. He’s comfortable in his own skin and it’s hard not to like a guy like that. The guy’s a class act.
Plenty of people are like him especially where he grew up
The day CT officially retires from The Challenge will be both a happy and yet sad day. Happy for his career and him being the People’s Champ yet sad because that’ll be the end of it! Thank you for everything you’ve done CT!
He's amazing! Definitely one of my favorites. He's come a long way. I have a strong feeling we'll be seeing him on the next season.
Hope CT wins traitors 2 then is on and wins Challenge season 40
I think he's doing other projects.
@@s.r6331 you never know
Smiling at my phone for 41 minutes straight I love this man 🥹
Same here! This man truly is one of a kind!
Yup me too. Good guy. You can see
When CT said “ all of a sudden I’m Big Easy?” Took me out 😂
I literally became a Challenge fan because of CT and Diem. I watched The Duel when it was airing and was hooked. Those two will always be my favorite love story. The smile and sparkle in CT's eyes whenever he talks about Diem breaks my heart. It has been such a joy watching CT's journey and how far he has come throughout the years. Diem is definitely his guardian angel, giving him strength which is why he kept winning Championships even with his dad bod.
CT is arguably the best part of the Challenge. Bananas may be the 'king,' so to speak, but many of us have watched CT grow, and go through struggles, as we ourselves have grown and gone through struggles. I'm a 22 year fan and thought baby CT was a troublemaker, but now I love him and respect him like a sibling. I am so proud of his growth over the years and the man that he is today. ❤❤
I thought I couldn't love CT any more and then I watched this. Most loved challenger by far. His love story with Diem always gets me emotional.
Thank you, MTV for highlighting one of our most favorite persons!! He is an icon! CT we love you & we’ll be cheering you on in whatever you choose to do. You could read the phone book out loud & make it sound good. We love you, CT!! ♥️🔥🔥🔥♥️
Love CT. It’s hard to watch a Challenge without him in it. He was and is still the greatest.
The reason CT is the GOAT is how he showed the world that you can become a better person against all odds. He was hilariously childish on RL Paris and his outbursts on the Challenge are folklore legendary type level, we'll never see someone like that again. But his growth as a person has never been seen on TV, and everyone got to see a kicked-down and troubled 240lb wolverine become a wise uncle CT. Except Terrell Owens that mf caught OG CT smoke like no one else.
I’m living watching him so much on the traitors! ❤ he’s had such an incredible transformation, and such a beautiful soul
The way I want him to win on Traitors! He’s doing so well. Absolutely love him!!!
I am so happy he’s on Traitors! It is also funny to hear people from the Bravo world trying to learn who he is - makes me realize how long I’ve been watching The Challenge. I get so annoyed if they don’t bring up Diem or they just say “i think he’s from The Challenge or an MTV show” EXCUSE ME???!!😂😂
confirmation yet again that adam threw it- good to hear it straight out of ct's mouth- even tho any challenge fan knew
Inside info, the house promised to give Adam money if he threw that elimination on Rivals. What's funny is none of them ever paid him. It's one of the reasons he hasn't been back. The producers usually pretend they don't know when cast mates are using prize money to negotiate for people losing on purpose. But that one hurt ratings and the final wasn't as good. Plus the producers really didn't like Bananas at the time and didn't want him in the final. So they were pissed when that happened.
To go even deeper, the house promised Adam money if he got into a fight with CT. That was the season he got his head smashed and eaten by CT lol. But seriously, the dudes in the house all got together with Adam and promised him money if he got into a fight with CT. It's kinda shown in the episode. When CT walked into that room they were all hyping Adam up to do it. So he did and as u know, they both got kicked off. They actually paid him that time. That's why he believed they would again during Rivals.
So a few of those same people were the ones who convinced him to throw that elimination on Rivals. Adam still hated CT. And they told him "do u really wana win and help CT get money?". They then promised him basically 2nd place money if he threw the elimination.
Wait I had no idea about Duel II that Adam got paid I knew about Rivals but Duel II & to think I use to feel bad for him smh
I really loved that CT gave Cara her flowers. I always noticed how close they were throughout the seasons, now I understand it’s because he knew her before the show!!
Happy Ct finally call out Adam he definitely wasn’t trying to win that last elimination
I really enjoyed watching this and learning more about CT. IMO he is one of the people who has grown the most and I just appreciate him sharing all of his moments, highs and lows, with us.
CT is the goat!!! It has been incredible watching his growth over the years!
CT is like fine wine! He gets better with time ❤❤❤ I can't wait! Hope Banannas makes it this time! The best players ever!
Obsessed with CT 😍❤️ This was so well put together and absolutely amazing to watch! 🩷
we need a season where CT and cara are a team
Complete agreement!!
It should have been Ride or Dies. I was hoping for them two to be partners
@@ScubaSteve3560 Tbh I don't want Cara back, but it was weird they weren't on Ride or Dies together. You'd think those two would have been the first two people production would have called. Maybe one or both of them said no for whatever reason.
Wasn't CT filming a movie at the time???
Omg ... Yes!! ❤
Glad to see CT come back to continue his challenge journey...
I definitely think season 40 will be a special one for him and his fellow competitors...
But to see CT win that Michael Jordan esque 6th challenge championship would be something truly special for arguably the best Challenge champion of all time 🔥🔥🔥....
CT on season 40: "Be right back... Quick Snack!"
CT is CUTE, CHARMING AND INTELLIGENT, ♥️♥️♥️♥️
I loved this So much!!
He must be not allowed to talk about his son from divorce disclosure agreements. That’s sad, I wanted to see them together. He’s a good Dad.
This was a very emotional episode for me. I’m looking forward to delving into the other vets pasts.
It might be a choice too. Maybe wants to let his son decide whether he wants to be on camera once he is a older.
Do you know him personally
CT is by far, my most favorite person on the Challenge. Keep being a badass CT. I’ll watch you til you’re 80 on season 100 lol.
I've been crushing on this man for 20 years.
Haa me too
Me three. I told my husband last night if we weren't married...I would be married to C.T. 😅 lol😅
CT! My favorite all time Challenger!
Everytime i see Diem I cry… she brought so many smiles to all of us. We love her… and we love how much she pushed to make CT a better person.
@stephaniekrakower9148 Diem will forever be CT true soulmate ❤️...
But I hope CT can find someone who truly completes him now given the insane evolution he's undergone so he can truly be happy and eventually end his challenge career on a very great note....
The way he was shaking and smiling talking about Diem. My heart can’t take it 😭🥹🤍
He loved that woman more than life itself.
@@tenacityforthetruth2695diem was his soulmate 💔
CT will always be my favourite Challenger. I really appreciate his journey, he's a wonderful man.
I'm so happy to finally see CT talking about Diem, remembering her with a smile on his face, it's beautiful.❤
Hell yes. Agreed. Can’t wait for CT to win season 40.
Ct will forever be one of my favorite challengers. He's come such a long way. Diem would be very proud of him. I have a strong feeling we'll be seeing him on season 40 which I can't wait for! Thank you MTV for giving him a second chance and not giving up on him after the duel 2. I luv him and will always support him no matter what. 💜
It’s great that he can talk so openly and joyfully about Diem - meeting on the duel ❤he can talk about Diem, their relationship and their future plans with joy and love. I just want him to quit smoking!
Could he be any more adorable
*Love CT... Miss Diem... Still... Always... ❤*
Wes fell asleep in the canoe on final challenges is funny AF . CT and Wes dominated that season
he’s one of the most genuine people, you just know it by how he carries himself & how he treats others. I remember seeing him in miami and I was so nervous bc I couldn’t believe my eyes & I always regretted not saying hi
Love this❣️Had me laughin & cryin. Great to learn about his life, family, upbringing, neighborhoods, & how his life has evolved. CT is a Legend, the Goat!☘️❤️
Then all of a sudden, I'm big easy? Get outta hea!” 😂😂❤️💀
CT, my longest running TV relationship 😂.
CT and Derrick will forever be my OG favorites of the challenge.
I may be biased but amber does get alot of hate ...and I don't think it's justified.
CT is the number one goat. Does not matter who has the most wins... he's the mvp, the fan fav, the smartest, most intimidating...
I agree w you on amber. She's good
This man said “wee wee” 😂😂😂😂 8:28
Wow! That was the best video I have seen on CT and the Challenge. Great in depth coverage. CT shows why he is the GOAT. So many challenges that he could have won.
YOUVE COME A LONG WAY CT
WEVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s crazy /cool to see how CT and Cara had met prior to ever being on the challenge
Met CT twenty years ago. Love him even more today ❤
CT has the best story arc ever! He truly seems like a good guy and learned a lot from all the adversity he had in his life. I love his line that, just when you think you figure out all the answers, life throws you new questions. Keep your head up, CT!
Sometimes a great redemption arc makes a person (or character) favorites. In the MCU, Nebula has grown to be one of my favorites. It's been great to watch CT grow.
Seeing CT talk about Diem is just so genuine and you can see how happy she made him
Diem was his soulmate you can see how much in love he was with Diem 🥹😭
the minute he brought up Johnny helping Diem the water works were flowing
CT definitely needs to win challenge 40 for sure he deserves that one and hopefully they have physical eliminations and maybe some of the challengers from 39 so they can get a taste of what it's really like they had it easy with puzzles and math
Yes, CT as the host would be amazing and fun to watch.
CT needs to keep coming back to The Challenge forever! Not only an amazing challenger but an incredible person.
CT will always be the fan favorite,to see him grow throughout the years, he is def one of a kind! The Challenge days will never be the same once he fully retires.
I love him talking about how growing up in the 80's/90's about how OTHER people's parents would discipline you. Lol! "Well what did you do??" So true!
CT is the GOAT. He and Diem had special connection. I didn't know Bananas helped Diem with her health battle. That was nice. But the backpack scene is the most legendary one in Challenge history.
CT won more when the show was tougher, he had dad bod and when the prizes were bigger.
I just want him in shape for total domination, a final against Bananas and Jordan. in my opinion the best 3 to ever do it.
@Unlimitedossibility In Season 40 we need a final with CT Johnny Bananas Jordan and Darrel 🔥...
That's a combined 20 challenge championships 😮🔥....
@jonathanoscategui2678 Yeah, I just want a final with the best of the best. Although I respect politicking your way to a final if you're good in the final. That being said, I think Jordan would win, if anybody is going to overtake them it will be him. Or in the more recent cast, Horacio.
I enjoyed this so much. I could have watched another 45 minutes.
today was the last time i watch the Challenge , with Horacio and Kyland gone there is no reason for me to watch it anymore it pisses me of how dirty they did both of them , sh*ts going to be wack now !! you just lost your number one fan lol
welcome to the challenge 😂
Loved this! CT is one of my all time favorites. Love that he is friends with Cara too. And loved the Diem clips❤This series is awesome….can’t wait for the next one
You could tell that horrible marriage took a toll on him, drinking and eating his feelings. She was the worst for him. So happy he’s done with her and happy and getting back in shape like his old self.
Yes
Total agreed
