Well on this summer's Sunday, here we are... 139 days ago tonight, twenty-eight competitors from twelve states in the Union and three overseas countries gathered with TJ Lavin behind the old Iron Curtain that separated freedom from communism in the Czech Republic. And after everything that's transpired in its capital city of Prague - and even outside of it on occasion, things now are getting as serious as it can get as we have reached the final act of Season 35 of The Challenge, and the conclusion of a season that is appropriately titled for these times we are in, Total Madness.
Last week was the Semifinal as the challengers competed one more time in a regular daily challenge and then made one last visit to the venue of the weekly eliminations, the purgatory. A man who's won more of these than any other player and a Big Brother champ claimed their spots in the final by virtue of excelling in a hybrid of car driving and bowling, while a defending champion and a fellow British sophomore won the last tickets in by plowing their way through Hall Brawl. But it's the gesture of Nelson who won our hearts and our respect in letting his closest ally compete for family, including a second kid which he got to welcome as this season has aired.
Bananas, Bayleigh. Cory, Fessy, Jenny, Kaycee, Kyle, Rogan and Melissa have all earned their way out of the Bunker and into the Final Nine, and they are en route on a nine-hour jaunt to the mountains to contest the $1 million final in the snow. The 2-day affair will test their nerves of handling the freezing cold temperatures and the huge mountain range, and where they will have to dig deep if they want to win their share of the cash, which only goes to the top male and female finisher who will each receive $500,000. So, the players will have to go big or get left out of sharing that treasure chest awaiting them at the summit.
After the jump, it's all or nothing for seven figures as DCBLOG brings you the SocialPulse of the $1 Million Finale of The Challenge: Total Madness. And thanks for joining us, we're glad you're along for the ride.

@JVD6Godkru: @BayleighDaily @ChallengeMTV Haven't watched it but from the promo it looked crazy. You killed it this whole season so I believe you killed it in the final even if you didn't win. Hope you to see you again on another challenge but totally understand if you don't. Just glad to be a fan
@realitytvking14: @BayleighDaily @ChallengeMTV We love you Queen you really proved yourself this season has a strong competitor congrats girl!
@hiiiCore: @BayleighDaily @ChallengeMTV thank you for being an unicorn on tv! Don’t see many people that are passionate & real that look like me
@AneesaMTV: @CoryWharton and @fessyfitness amazing job friends. Y’all put everything out there this season and should be proud of yourselves and remember: there’s always next time
@_nelsonthomas: That was a sick final, congrats to everyone that endured that pain. Congrats to the legend @johnnybananas mad respect #challenge35 @ChallengeMTV
@bayy_casillass: @BayleighDaily @ChallengeMTV I was so upset you couldnt finish but understood it. I really enjoy you on this season, and you proved yourself during your rookie season. Which is impressive asf. It's a huge accomplishment for making the final your rookie season. Also really hope we see you on future seasons
@sparkleblissx: Shoutout to @DJMelReeves She competed in #TheChallenge35 while pregnant! She’s a champion!!
@ah_sh_lee: To watch @DJMelReeves do this final and now knows she was pregnant what a Wonder Woman ππ½ Do you know how exhausting the 1st trimester is!!! I have a 3 month old & let me tell you it’s no Joke!
@DJMelReeves: "@court_larrivey: @JenniferWestOf1 @DJMelReeves Every time she slipped and fell, I’d cringe knowing she was carrying a baby. Feel better knowing the kid is healthy but still, cringe." RT I chose not to watch the final because of the falls. I felt guilty afterwards for not knowing
@Lee35418139: Just because her mind didn’t know she was pregnant doesnt mean her body didn’t. She was probably exhausted and lacking a lot of the nutrients that pregnant women need so I can’t even be mad at @DJMelReeves for quitting the final. #TheChallenge35 #totalmadness
@JamesFulford18: Although @DJMelReeves may have quit, she did all this while pregnant, which is a win within itself #TheChallenge35
@katyjustinaa_xo: I truly will always be a huge stan of @DJMelReeves and I am so proud of her. She did better then 90% of y’all would while not knowing she was pregnant. So, remember that and show my girl some love
@Insomniac0084: @DJMelReeves in a blizzard.. pushing herself as far as she could go.. and pregnant!! All the props to her! Good work Mel #TheChallegne35
@ajbaldes: No one better fault @DJMelReeves for quitting. Girl was 3 months pregnant and still crushed it! @ChallengeMTV #TheChallenge35
@kemispowers: @DJMelReeves you SLAYED you literally competed the whole season unknowingly pregnant and was the first and probably only girl to run a final pregnant you completely did what was right!
@ah_sh_lee: @tjlavin she didn’t quit she was pregnant!!!! @DJMelReeves you are amazing and a Wonder Woman. Vienna is so lucky to have a strong mama like you.
@NickyEyess: @DJMelReeves was the most impressive part of the challenge finale.
@TheEdieX: @DJMelReeves The fact that you listened to your body and quit was the right decision! Sometimes in the first couple of months we put our bodies through some crazy things not knowing that we’re pregnant. She’s a beautiful, perfect and healthy little girl. You did well, mama!
@17HockeyStud: @DJMelReeves You didn't quit in my eyes. Your body told you you were at your limit. That was brutal. I thought it was admirable you voted yourself in so nobody else had to do the final elimination. No way you could have jumped up to hit that bell anyway. I'm a Melissa fan! #TheChallegne35
@ImJust_Cory: @DJMelReeves competing on the challenge, especially the first part of the final should go down as one of the best performances by a female athlete all time. #TheChallenge35 #TheChallenge
@GusSmyrnios: Congrats champ! Best to ever play the game Dont challenge me to a drink off though @johnnybananas @ChallengeMTV #mtvthechallenge
@yellowstonesav: The true stars of #TheChallenge35 finale were: 1) @BayleighDaily’s leg 2) Ryder Congrats to @johnnybananas and @JenniferWestOf1, you beasts! πͺπ»
@msthiccandjuicy: Imagine @DayDaVonne_ going back on The Challenge partnering up with @BayleighDaily. The queens! Not gonna lie I think they would be underestimated but beast out and make it to the finale!
@MTVASHLEYBROOKE: Also the curse is broken! So, thank you @johnnybananas #TheChallenge35

@StevenPlummer22: It’s been since Exes 1 that we’ve seen an all snow final? I know Free Agents had one but it was on day 2 of the final #TheChallenge35
@sjmedd: They’re acting like skiing and snow is something unheard of lolz #TheChallenge35
@sjmedd: Skiing drains A LOT of energy, so this Final will be interesting #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: Melissa out here running this Final while 3 Months pregnant #TheChallenge35
@StevenPlummer22: Don’t anyone say anything about Melissa being in last in this final she competed this whole season PREGNANT. She is a beast #TheChallenge35
@sjmedd: A Tribunal in the Final?! Idk how I feel about this #TheChallenge35
@sjmedd: It would be foolish to not eliminate Bananas & Kaycee #TheChallenge35
@sjmedd: They turning the Final into a group adventure now lool #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: This is Kaycee. She was on this season of the Challenge, apparently. #TheChallenge35
@emilylongeretta: I truly am baffled why Rogan would choose to prove himself in the last elimination. He already did that by making it to the end, going in TWICE throughout the season. But OK. #TheChallenge35
@emilylongeretta: I'd legit rather just compete and lose than hear disappointed papa @tjlavin say, "You've seen this show before, right?" #TheChallenge35
@DustyDust017: I am not mad at all for @DJMelReeves leaving like that, she did all that while pregnant. I am beyond impressed with her
@StevenPlummer22: Congrats Rogan and Melissa on a great season #TheChallenge35
@BB_Brookee: All the casuals dragging Melissa because she quit, but I guess y’all forgot she was PREGNANT during this. #thechallenge35 #TheChallengeTotalMadness
@sjmedd: These head starts and eliminations in the Finals need to be looked. Timed checkpoints seem best #TheChallenge35
@kmacisco: What an anti climatic ending #TheChallenge tho lmao. Editing gave up on this after having to remove d**
@StevenPlummer22: Bananas is now a 7 time champion #TheChallenge35
@emilylongeretta: Can we talk about BEAST JENNY beating THE GUYS? #TheChallenge35
@kmacisco: TEAM BANANAS #TheChallenge35
@regphalange_: G.O.A.T @johnnybananas That's seven!! 7!!!!!!!!! GREATEST OF ALL TIME ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Now let me hear from you who ever doubt it.........
@sjmedd: Corey really blew this win from a math problem! Go figure. He just isn’t cut it to win it completely #TheChallenge35
@CohenBrian_: Not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six...now SEVEN. Congrats @johnnybananas Goat #TheChallenge35
@regphalange_: So much love for @CoryWharton !! It's just a matter of time... So grown, such an amazing father...all for Ryder!!!!!!!!! Love you ❤
@sjmedd: People really didn’t try hard enough to get rid of Bananas, knowing good well he has won soo many Finals prior #TheChallenge35
@sjmedd: Jenny winning was close to a given .. when someone is that strong, you have to get rid of them early #TheChallenge35
@murtzjaffer: The greatest of all time @johnnybananas. Respect the king. #TheChallengeTotalMadness #thechallenge
@emilylongeretta: This week's #WatchWithUs podcast is up early! #TheChallenge35's @johnnybananas joined to break down everything we didn't see on the finale, including a 9-hour trip from the bunker to the mountain. https://bit.ly/2XFHAsk
@theballisorange: Was gonna tweet something about how I missed being on Twitter these past three years and just went through a tough life change and came back because Twitter always made me laugh and then The Challenge finale got spoiled on me and ya know what? This is what I get.
@TheAllanAguirre: I feel good for Cory. Physically, he killed this final and kept up with the best. In the end, it was the Math Problem/Puzzle that did him. Far and away better than his Invasion/Bloodlines performances. #TheChallenge35
@TheAllanAguirre: I'm over MTV making Day 1 of the Final irrelevant. Like Cory won Day 1 by a decent-ish margin, and then only gets a 1-2 min headstart for Day 2. I think he'd rather get a headstart based on how he won Day 1 over the chance to put someone in elimination. #TheChallenge35
@wedontknow36: *touches red skull* “Congratulations you won”The way this was the most anti-climatic boring final I’ve ever witnessed. 1 million dollars for this ??? #TheChallenge35
@emilylongeretta: "I just feel like this immense amount of pressure has been lifted off my shoulders. There’s no curse, the curse is broken. Put that in your pipe and smoke it." @johnnybananas #TheChallenge35 https://t.co/jeoNZNGYpg?amp=1
@dc408dxnow: 139 days ago during simpler times of late winter, it began with an image of a desk & 2 lamps. Tonight in the heat of the summer unlike any other, we’ve arrived at the Total Madness Final. Off we go… #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: And they have arrived in the snow, and they are all in winter clothing. And the only way for the players to cash in… is be the first one in. $500,000 for the top guy. $500,000 for the leading lady. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: The group is spending their last hours in the bunker and out at the bar before they embark on this journey. And everyone is here for a purpose: from family to new kids back home, to the case of one player, a chance to solidify his GOAT status even further. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Jenny chooses Kaycee, while Cory is contemplating a huge move here, and he makes the big one of picking Bananas… and he had to do that knowing he is the big dog and he can’t let him win this the easy way. It changes everything if this move works out. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: Bananas takes care of that with his fingertips, and we will have a new champion. But you have to give it up to Rogan for proving more of what a champion is expected of him. Everyone else is headed for much needed rest before we decide things. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: It is SEVENTH HEAVEN for @johnnybananas. And WEST IS THE BEST for @JenniferWestOf1. They reign $500,000 supreme at the end of the world, and at the top of Total Madness. #DCChallenge
@dc408dxnow: So, we’ve come to the end to quite a season. British power transfers to a lady who took just two seasons to become a champ. And a man who’s won this six times now has #7 and shuts the door on any argument of who’s the best Challenger ever. That was #TotalMadness. #DCChallenge
@Idrisvirgo: Big congratulations to @JenniferWestOf1 and also the one and only @johnnybananas 7 season challenge champion! just shows you anything possible! ππΎππΎ best show out there period @ChallengeMTV #TheChallenge35
@LadyFougere: Didn’t watch the last episode of #TheChallegne35 but I figured Bananas would win.
@LadyFougere: Jenny is absolutely amazing I love everything about her! So glad she won for the females! She’s beautiful and I want to be friend with her and train me to have a gorgeous body like hers! Big props to Bayleigh and Melissa (and Vienna) as well!! #TheChallenge35
@MTVASHLEYBROOKE: "@M3LL155XX: Millionaire Mitchell in 7 seasons:$1,121,250 Bananas in 20 seasons: $1,184,720" RT Damn you BANANAS!!!! , and your little friends tooo #TheChallenge35
@ChallengeMTV: Last night's Final would have looked a lot different had Bananas not beat Wes in the "Charge the Wall" elimination this season - and we've got never-before-seen GoPro footage from that battle! Whose do you want us to drop? #TheChallenge35

- @MTVASHLEYBROOKE: @JenniferWestOf1 Congrats jenny!!! You deserve it
@JenniferWestOf1: I’m sorry but why the fuck would I give @johnnybananas 500k I’m nice, but I’m not stupid. This rumour was clearly started by someone who hates Johnny. There is no way it was edited out blah blah blah. Rumours are always more interesting than the truth #alllies
- @johnnybananas: @JenniferWestOf1 So you're saying you would have taken the money and ran? #FinalGate #thechallenge35
@JenniferWestOf1: I feel so bad for @johnnybananas he worked his fucking ass off and it’s DISGUSTING that he isn’t being given the credit he deserves. There was 9 of us in that final. Ask any of them.
@18challengefan: We watched a production team edit out a main character for 5-6 episodes this season. The name of the season was changed, castmembers flip flopped on what they heard. What makes people think it’s not possible that the final outcome was edited? Jenny fInished first.All I’m saying..
- @JenniferWestOf1: @18challengefan I FINISHED FIRST YES, but the prize money was only ever going to be split between male and female. FML

So, at the end of all of this we have a result that many of you had when you made your predictions at season's beginning, and they are worthy champions. A lady from the Greater Manchester area and one-half of a duo of fitness sisters, and someone who had a strong rookie season that got ended at the hands of one-half of an MTV power couple, but it delayed what was almost inevitable. And now Jenny West is the 80th player to win a final Challenge - regular & spinoffs, collecting £398,485 in British pounds, and keeping a slice of this title in English hands after Rogan's win last year.
But on this side of the pond, the focus is all about Johnny Bananas and seventh heaven. It was when he took down a longtime nemesis turned ally in elimination that saw him take this game by the throat, and never let go - even if a power move by the resident daddy made him earn his way to the last stage. This might not be as hard as when he plowed through the snow on Exes 2 for #4 or conquered Free Agents for #5, and there's no controversy that surrounded #6, but now with him gaining #7 now firmly locks the door on the argument of who's the Greatest of All Time here.
There will be more for us to dissect and discuss when we bring you our WRAP of the homestretch and the final of Total Madness next week along with covering the reunion. And as we did after his Rivals 3 win, Bananas himself will be the focus of a postseason ExtraTime special after our recap goes to post, and where we'll look at his many adventures as host of NBC's 1st Look.
But before that - as well as The Situation invading A Double Shot at Love in Vegas, be sure to rejoin us later tonight when we shift gears from the snow to the golf course, as a man who also competed in the snow tries his luck on the world's most challenging miniature golf course. We'll see you then, and enjoy your Sunday everyone...
