#MTV is your destination for the hit series Wild 'N Out, Siesta Key, The Challenge, MTV Floribama Shore, Teen Mom and much more!
Home Turf was a success. we need more.
Love him or hate him, theres no denying that he's one of the best challengers of all time and will forever be a legend!
Indeed. Heck tons of us have loved *and* hated him, sometimes in equal measure at the same time.
One of the nicer things about growing up in the original Real World era and starting to watch The Challenge in its first season through the present is that you get a very defined, concrete sense of how (most) people mellow out and get better and more empathetic with age.
There are quite a few of the dude alumni from RW/RR/TC who I didn’t particularly dig years ago, but witnessing the gradual wisdom of aging in these people is honestly kind of beautiful.
Gives Bunim & Murray a much closer connection to the “7 Up” series from the BBC than I think anybody ever would’ve predicted (esp considering the later, “party” years of RW from 12 and on).
@@collinmichaelkahn3918 That was CT for me....he was such a dick in those early seasons (that situation with Adam). I didn't like him until I saw how he was with Diem and how he grew to actually be Adam's friend as well. He knew he was wrong in that situation and made amends. I like the person he's become now.
@collinmichaelkahn3918 yes! CT & Wes are also good examples of the growth that we witness over the years. 👏
The challenge NEEDS to bring back these types of challenges/finals.
The challengers are too soft now 😅
Facts. 😂@@nillaskat1
@@nillaskat1 way too soft, imagine another island type season omg 😂
@@nillaskat1then let’s see you go mr tough guy/ Mrs tough girl
@@keshonaspicy7273Josh would lose his shit lol
One thing I like about Johnny is i’ve never heard him make an excuse for The CT Back Pack lol He always jokes and takes it on the chin
Everyone had embarrassing moments in the challenge. I love CT but should we discuss all of his 😂. It was an iconic moment but it was only one moment and CT came in as a mercenary
@@Jduhon702let’s not forget how easily CT ran over Johnny and Tyler in the final elimination in Rivals 1
Well I think it’s because CT had a significant advantage in height/muscle/training for that elimination so he can’t really do anything but accept it since there was no way he was gonna win that
@@Jduhon702😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
The way I remember jumping up and down when Johnny and Wes popped up in that confessional together saying they are working together! Epic challenge moment in history.
YES! Also, the fact that no one knew they were working together LMAO....epic
Hate him or love him, he is the Challenge.
I hope they make more home turf episodes. I want Mark to have one, Wes, Jordan, Derrick K, Aneesa, Rachel. Big T's story was nice and all but shes too new for me to really care. We need more OGs!!!
Paula because she has turned her life around
@@nillaskat1yes! She’s had a crazyyyyy journey.
Would be cool to see Evelyn too.
And Landon.
We need Miz's story if they can get him to do it....that man literally was on that showing telling us his dreams to be a wrestler and he actually did it and became a successful professional wrestler.
Wes and Jordan would be good ones....there are a lot of OG Challengers that I would love to see a home turf about. Both Sarah's...the one Johnny kept the money with and the one from the Gauntlet where they kept throwing her in and she kept coming back knowing they all couldn't stand her.
@@elisest.george8245and he's one of two men to accomplish the double Grand Slam Championship in WWE
I think it's safe to say that Home Turf has been a huge hit! Everyone's hoping for more of them!
Exactly.
Wes, Mark, Derrick K, Evelyn, Veronica, Laurel, Kam/Leroy (they could have a joint episode), Nany to name a few.
I still think Wes would have a wet dream of the idea/episode where he gets to talk solely about himself (and his failures) since that seems to be his favorite subject to talk about...
Bananas is a true legend. I miss the old challenge so much.
Off course they had to add the backpack in the thumbnail🤣
My favorite Challenge moment of ALL time!!!
Hahahaha
It's his most iconic moment, 🤡🍌
Of course! It wouldn’t have been half as iconic if it was any other mix of people. He deserves his 50% recognition for it 😂
Its a classic so they would be dumb not to add it
this is what we been waiting for
Yes we have! 🤗
Well this and the CT episode
Have we? 😂 ok your right, but gotta beat CT’s episode
LETS GOOOOOOOOOO IS IT 5PM YET!!!
@@DukeJimbobwell CT was the first episode for a reason because he's the goat
rivals and free agents are such good seasons
I know right! Why they haven’t done a Free agents 2 I’ll never know
Free agents is still the best season of the franchise
Every season -Johnny says"This is by far the most difficult physically, mentally challenge ever"😂😂
I think that was probably most true for Total Madness. A lot of the challengers from that season have said that because they were living in an old Cold Water bunker underground in Prague during winter. It was freezing and they could only see the sun and sky during challenges. When they came out of the bunker, COVID had begun spreading in China and then three months later the world was on lockdown.
Growing up and watching these seasons of The Challenge…and then rewatching them all over again from an older age, (thank you Paramount) i can admit that Bananas is a staple of the show. I used to think he was just talented politically, but he is genuinely a very capable competitor. He surpassed a lot of your favorites by intellect, strength, stealth, and heart. Don’t believe me? Watch the show from his very first season to his most recent. There are a lot of personal qualities in other challengers that i like more, i will admit that(i also only know them through reality TV)…but he’s on the Mount Rushmore of challenge competitors WITHOUT A DOUBT.
Long live The Challenge!!!
We need more people like Bananas who understand the producer mindset of making good TV. Maybe that's long gone now, but the Banana Man gives us the entertainment we all live for.
The Man, The Myth, The Legend, The Banana Man
Bananas and CT need to team up be partners on th challenge that would be an epic way to go out an retire them winning together 😅
Please continue home turf! i love it so much! Johnny is such a great personality
I know right. I hope Wes, Jordan, and Nancy are next on the list
@@daniellerose1114You mean Nany!
You and CT to me are the best challengers ever. But Johnny you ARE the challenge and nobody can say you arent, whether they love you are hate you. You're a beast and I grew up watching you and always root for you. And I dont want you to EVER stop competing. Win that challenge at 70 years ol brother.
29:11 not the sarah & bananas picture above the trash!! 😅😂😂😂
That made me laugh out loud.
i thought it's perfectly appropriate because, well IYKYK
The thing I love the most about this man is how well spoken he is!.. always going to be one of the GOATS!
22:20 yeah the fact that she did that but people still went at Bananas for what he did is wild..
Thank you. I think that his backlash was so unfair!
but they say it’s okay ashley did it to hunter because he is mean 😂😂😂😭😭
@@AliFrankTheTankWasn’t he threatening her?
@@Chickenleg-hl4le yea so she stole the money. That’s okay, right ??? so is the Nanas man decision then
@@AliFrankTheTankI’m not mad at Bananas decision but Hunter went personal
Johnny Bananas 'The Legend'
As a person who's grew up watching The Real World and has been watching the challenge their whole life: I absolutely love that y'all are doing these videos!!!
Yesss he said doll hairs!!! I’ve never heard anyone else use it 😂
I haven’t either lol and when I say it people look at me weird. I’ve said it ever since I watched dumb and dumberer for the first time.
Bananas understands the nature of reality tv and competition so he created a persona as a "villain" based on that. I found we got to see a glimpse of the real Bananas in Traitors with Tennisha. Love him...LEGEND!
I love bananas but the hypocrisy in this episode is hilarious lol. Goes from saying “you have to choose yourself first” when discussing the Paula situation the island to, “I’ve never felt more betrayed” when talking about sarah and Tony 😅😅
That's not really hypocrisy because the situations aren't the same. It was give up Paula's seat or Bananas goes home. While what Sarah did was about her winning. She wasn't in any danger. Not to mention when she did it, she put him up against their other alliance member lol
You are soooo right. He kept changing his view on things to suit himself. Don't like him at all
Agree, Johnny is very hypocritical. I've never liked him.
These home turf videos have been amazing! Love this series.
Two t shirts and one hoodie later, I still love you. Since 2006? Almost twenty years. You’re my dude forever and I feel like your journey is my journey.
The one episode we’ve been waiting for 👏👏👏 I was surprised he didn’t speak more about growing up .. but I guess he likes to keep his personal life private
Yea thats the one thing I loved the most about the other Home Turf episodes. He's said most of that stuff before on podcasts, i didnt learn anything new. Probably why they put him last🤷🏻♀️
@@ASoggyShoe yeahhh everything he talked about he already repeated on podcast, the only new thing I found out was about his barber lmao
Love him or hate him you’ve got to admit that he’s a big personality. He certainly knows what sells and keeps fans coming back for more! I have been a huge fan of his since the beginning and I’m super proud of the man he’s become. 😂 Love me some Bananas! 🍌
I have been waiting for this one. He’s such a legend.
It has been a complete pleasure to witness (on tv/vids/social media of course) Johnny developing into an amazing competitor, friend and ally within the Challenge! Without Johnny there is NO CHALLENGE and he should definitely be TJs successor! I love him… just like his barber said… he has a heart of gold. He is a true good guy! Much luck and blessings in your present and future endeavors!
Bananas is and will always be The Challenge, end of story!
Ahhh didn't learn too much more about the Bananas, but his personality is infectious!!!
Badass . That's what I needed to see and hear from you. & That's not even the half of what really went down for the last 18 years.
So he can betray Paula but Sarah can’t betray him???
Exactly what I’m saying and he betrayed many other people afterwards
Bananas taking the money from sarah was one of the best challenge moments. I would've done the same thing. One of my favorite challengers of All Time ❤
Wearing my Banana Cruz shirt, drinking out of my bananas coffee mug, and chilling next to me the signed photo of the 7 time champion.
Keep killing it, and get back to the mountain top!
Yes...been a fan since the first season and every messed up move 😂😂😂😂
*The banana backpack is legendary lol
*I love his new bromance with Wes ❤
Johnny definitely grew on me over the years. Started off quite cocky but his maturity came through the second half of his challenge career. I feel like I grew with him! 😂
I just love Johnny Bananas... my favorite 😍 and also Ct 😊
He really just compared himself to Tom Brady. 😂
Yup that ego of his🙄
swoooosh
He was being at least partly tongue in cheek
*AS IF* that CAR is not *BREATH TAKING* enough on its own......the *COLOR* is *STUNNING* ❤️
My uncle had a car like that and as a kid it felt like the back seat was the size of a nightclub! 🤣
Johnny freaking BANANASSSSS
After learning more of the back story I LOVE the money grab move
I get it but Bananas was notorious for screwing over his friends/acquaintances. This was the first time Sarah gave him a taste of his medicine.. I remember that she genuinely thought he would understand since he constantly sabotaged/betrayed his friends so he could win.
Johnny is the "heel" just like in wrestling but I see behind that because when he gave Tanisha the chance to stay and basically reversed what he did to Sarah- on E TV- I was like he is a teddy bear deep down. I became a fan watching him on E TV - House of Villains and I loved how he truly loved Diem on the Challenges and when CT said he bought her medicine etc. . He is right sometimes we need villains.
“If you didn’t do reality tv?”
Bananas: JAIL😂😂
Most definitely tuning in on the Banana Man
Johnny!! I always loved that move that you took the $! That is what the game is all about. Love ya and i love watching you grow
I have always been a Johnny Bananas fan! I love watching him compete in all shows! Loved him on House of Villains. Which they hadn’t murdered him on Traitors.
Home turf series is everything
love this man tbh, pure Gold tv , nothing more
I’m still rooting for Nany to come back and get her WIN! I’m still holding out hope! ❤️
Why
The Island will forever be my favorite season of The Challenge. It was so different and also rather short.
We need more of these!!
Really loving this series.
Trixie is on everything now I love it
Of course Johnny says Tom Brady is the Johnny Bananas of the NFL, instead of he's the Tom Brady of the Challenge, 😂 classic 🍌
Testament to Bananas that I/so many people have hated him throughout the years but some how with time have still grown to love him.
Long live the Naners!!
I actually enjoyed learning more about Johnny 🍌! He’s definitely earned his wins!! Congrats & best wishes with his success with his businesses!!
I could see Johnny coming up with the challenge: senior edition‼️💯😃👍💯
I love these episodes so much lmao
Watching this made me realize how long Tony’s been on the challenge😳 I still considered him and Nicole fairly new, I remember watching them on Real World
I swear I think the same w Devin, Jordan, corey and a few others. I be thinking they just started on challenge.
Bro when he took the money all to himself that made him the best ever cool the whole game and off with the head when it was time Jonny would have made a great king in the old times!!!
This episode was cut short for on demand on my cable. It stopped at 30 minutes. Thanks for uploading it on TH-cam also. 👌 The other seven episodes didn't have that problem.
Gonna be a good one here!
they totally skipped the win with camila hahaha
And JEK alliance with Evan and Kenny, it was a huge part of his early seasons. Without Kenny he would have been killed on the island by other contestants 😂
@@NaStrelayup cuz all of those names are banned
HOME TURF IS SO GOOD WHOEVER IS ON THE EDITING TEAM FOR THIS SERIES NEEDS TO BE EDITING SEASON 40
My favorite always has been BANANAS
We need more Johnny! The goat 🐐 himself love you Johnny 🫶🏾
The Challenge: Home Turf - Episode 01 Season 02 should be *T. J. Lavin*
Can we please give Leroy one? Considering him and Kam are together and have a kid with one on the way, it would be nice to put one together. There are people who barely did anything and have one of these. Crazy.
Absolute legend
I’m obsessed with Ct and Johnny they are legendary 🔥 CT is right they are the co captains of the challenge
The BEST of the BEST!
I LOVE Johnny Bananas!!!!!🤩 Are CT and Bananas friends now? It seemed like it on the Traitors.
They better make it longer than 30 minutes!
Has to be. He was on like every season 💀
CHEERS!!!!! BANANAS FOREVER!!!!!
Sarah wouldn't have taken the money.
I think Sarah would have. I watched those seasons back-to-back recently, and it's jarring how nearly every Sarah confessional in Exes 2 was about how she wanted to win for the money. She didn't seem to care much about the title, just the money that comes with it. I just don't believe that someone that is that motivated by money would leave nearly $150K on the table for someone that she had already backstabbed for money before.
@bbg9585 Well said!!!!😊😊😊
I love him!!!😍😍😍
I would have loved to see Jordan. But glad i atleast got bananas
Johnny 🍌🍌 The G O A T.
had to pause because I'm just now realizing just how much justice for paula was a core memory growing up watching that happen in real time haha
The hypocrisy is what kills me. To get his first win he was selfish and screwed over Paula. When Sarah uses the same strategy he acts like he was so very wronged.
I loved when jenna was soft clapping when Sarah said banana 😂
“Sarah’s first challenge since ruins”… she was on at least 4 after ruins and before exes 2
I was looking for this comment lol I knew someone else had to catch that too. She was on all of the challenges from Ruins to Exes 2 except Free Agents I think lol
No matter how he justifies it, taking that money in the end was a horrible thing to do. Shame on MTV for allowing that girl to be traumatized like that. Getting put up in an elimination is one thing. But to compete with someone and they brought you to win a final is unforgivable. Sorry bud.
She wasn’t traumatized be for real
My all time favorite !🍌🫶🏼
i think that when he retires, he should be TJ's co-host
Bananas is definitely a Challenge legend. Would have like to see more personal stuff, like baby banana pics but this whole series has been great.
31:40 I would laugh at that answer too 😂😂
I’m ready letsss goo
Bananas and CT are the Challenge! They need to be on every season!! ❤❤
I always loved bananas because we are the same person only difference is he made it on tv and I didn't. Exact same personality it's crazy. Huge fan never misses a episode of any challenge.
The King
I love Bananas!
THIS is what the people been waiting to see!
Love Johnny! I was late to game in watching the Challenge and now it is my favorite ( plus Traitors and House of Villians!)
I am so sad that I have never got to see War of the Worlds 1 and 2 or Total Madness. Can’t someway MTV fix the legal issues so we can watch?!
I saw on a Facebook post, but I forget the website name that you can watch any season of the challenge. I think it might be in some challenge group
Nothing available
