I’m Johnny Bananas, and I’ve won the most seasons of MTV’s The Challenge to date. AMA!

Are you still hooking up with Kayleigh?

• Opens bathroom door and asks Kayleigh how to answer this question

Would it be great if there's a Challenge spinoff called #ChampsVsFans Johnny?

I'd watch it

What are your thoughts on how editing is done now - the year round format leads to more house moments, but the focus seems to be more on drama than humor/strategy?

Fans are difficult to please. Some like drama, others like competition. So there's a give and take

What's up Bananas. The question on everyone's mind... has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

lay off the bath salts

Who do you think should be the host after TJ?

You're lookin at him!

Wes has said your rivalry with him was manufactured by you, and you guys were tight before him and Kenny had beef. What happened that made you start going after him?

our strategies will always be at odds

How much influence do you have with producers?

At this point I am a producer

Do you ever feel bad for stealing the money?

Not one second of one day

Who, from the challenge, do you stay in touch with on a weekly basis other than Kenny? How would you describe you and CTs relationship outside the challenge? Keep rockin on and get that next win. “That arrogant little pompous bitch told me to bring it and I brought it” favorite line of all time

Mark long, Evan, Cara, Leroy, Tyler, Derrick, Paula and a few others. CT and myself have pretty much squashed our beef and are now focused on crushing noobs

Who have you fucked from the show?

Wes

What's the scoop on Camila - Is she off MTV now or what's up? WHo's next to get the boot with their antics?

Safe to say we won't be seeing Camila on any upcoming challenges for awhile

How come Zach can’t seem to put all the pieces together to be a top level challenger?

sheep in wolves clothing

I assume its in MTV's best interest to keep you on the show since you're one of the main competitors. Do you get paid a baseline amount to appear on each season? And if so, how much?

I don't show up for free

What’s your best CT story?

We were talking about technology one day. And he was convinced that if you cut a computer cable in half and put it in a bowl of water you could see the words and pictures traveling from one half of the wire to the other

Bananas!

What is something you think the show could benefit from in the future, in terms of programming/challenges, etc?

Also, if you haven't already, there's a Challenge subreddit: r/mtvChallenge . Lots of live discussion over there during the episodes if you want to pop by and see people hate and love the record holder.

New blood

Will you alow leroy to do your hair after hes done with barber school? 😂😂

I let him do my hair now

Would you ever do another reality show like Celebrity Big Brother or Survivor?

Absolutely. Not sure they want those problems though

Who clogs the most toilets?

CT

What is the weakest part of your game?

Nothing

Do you think if they voted in Big Easy into elimination instead of you, in the Gauntlet 3, would that have later resulted in a first win for you, Ct, Paula, Diem, Brad, Robin etc? ......

Also if that happened, do you think that would have changed the outcome of you and CTs relationship?

Better yet, would the term Bananas Backback ever have existed?

Also any particular reason why you weren't on the Duel 2, Freshmeat 2 or Battle of the Seasons? Because I thought You, Tyler, Janelle and Paula would have been the best team.

100 percent. CT to this day calls the Big Easy vote his single greatest regret

How do you feel about the new rookies? Any who will make it to titles or just pawns?

The UK kids show a lot of promise because they are multi dimensional. Other than Tori and Kam AYTO kids are total duds

How awkward was it after you took the money?

It was pretty awkward on top of that mountain. But I had 275k reasons to feel comforted

Yoooo Bananas it's about damn time. Whats your most satisfying moment on the challenge thus far?

Winning

What kind of eyeliner do you use?

Maybelline

Hey Johnny!! I love watching the challenges and you always bring the drama (but in a fun way)! I have a few questions about living in the house:

Is it true you guys aren't allowed to listen to music or bring books?

Is it true that you don't know the schedule for what day a challenge/elimination will be on?

Be honest, what are your feelings towards the catering?

Thanks for the AMA, love you dude!!

No books, mags, music, tv schedule always changes food mostly sucks

Who’s the greatest female competitor of all time? Emily Laurel or Evelyn

its too close to call, they're definitely top 3 along with Cara

Yo Bananas!

How pumped should we be to see the Ross v Derrick tonight? Derrick says it was a brutal match and will go down has one of the most hard fought. What is your thoughts on it and all the newbies from this season in general?

Its Joss. Hands down the most brutal elim I've ever witnessed

Hi so I have a huge armpit fetish and I think you’re so hot! I always have had a fantasy of smelling u after a workout would u let someone do that if they came up to u and asked? Weird to some i know but such a turn on for me!!

Some thoughts should remain thoughts

You seem to spend a lot of time with your niece, does Uncle Bananas change diapers???

Do you always pack feathers and a black dildo going into a challenge house?

I pack those items when I go anywhere

Do you think they will ever do large teams again like the show use to do when you first started? If not, why?

Doubt it. The large team format is too difficult for fans to follow.

Johnny B what's your workout routine for the challenge?

Lift heavy, run fast, eat healthy

If you raced Evan and Kenny in a purely individual final, what would the finishing order be?

Well considering Evan is a week out from having a child and kenny does nothing but eat pizza and ho ho's I'd give myself the edge!

Other than you, who stirs the pot the most in Challenge houses? Since you've been on so many seasons, give us someone from past seasons as well as someone who is currently still doing shows.

Thanks for doing this AMA! I've been watching the show since it started and it's great to see the show getting so much love recently.

I'd say Wes. He's the only one who shares my same sick sense of humor

Good call on Landon being part of your Mount Rushmore. Any idea what that dude is even up to nowadays?

Dentist I think

Do you see Devin as being the new Wes ?

Not even close. Wes has confidence, believes in himself has the ability to convince people to follow him. Devin is just full of shit

What’s a previous Challenge format that you’d like to see come back for a new season?

Duel

Is being in the house “fun” or do you feel like it’s more of a training camp, stressful, job, etc?

the house is fun for the first couple weeks then it becomes a prison

Yes, Love Cara I just adapt to the changing landscape

Least Fav challenge you've ever done?

Island

Who was a tougher elimination opponent -- Leroy or Mark Long?

They are both strong as shit, my rib injury to Leroy took me out of that elim

What do you say to the haters that tell you, you're too old to be on the challenge or your life revolves around the challenge?

jealousy is envy

Who has a better time doing the show- the challengers that win the final or TJ?

TJ

if you could create your own format what would it be?

Me vs The Girls Next Door

You have done close to 20 shows now in your reality tv career. How many more seasons of The Challenge do you think you have left in you?

As many as it takes!

Favorite Real World season? And do you think they should bring back Road Rules?

Philadelphia. First season I ever watched, also what inspired me to send in an audition video

Casey or hannah?

Hannah

Would you rather be stuck on a desert island with Wes or Cory if you had a choice?

Cory. Somehow some way he'd find some deserted Island chicks for us

Jenna, Emily, Cara

Johnny, if you had to chose, who would you fuck, marry, & kill?

F Jenna, M Emily, K Cara (only because of her hobbit feet)

How much of your success do you attribute to outsmarting your competitors versus outdoing them in physical challenges?

Its a solid mix of both

Do you still get a ton of flack for not splitting the money with Sarah?

Also, let's be honest, how many of those flack-givers would really split that money if they didn't have a camera in their face? I wouldn't.

Everyday Every single one would have wanted to. Not one would have had the balls too

Which is more fun to film: The Real World or The Challenge?

Real World

Seeing that you’re somewhat of the Michael Jordan of The Challenge, do you feel the greatness when competing like athletes do? Or is it all business to you?

yes
