It took 35 seasons, but an AmericanSurvivorplayer is finally competing onThe Challenge.
But Jay has a theory for why it’s taken 35 seasons for an AmericanSurvivorto make it ontoThe Challenge.
“The strategy ofSurvivorI would say is way harder than the strategy ofThe Challenge,” he says.

“Because the good thing aboutThe Challengeis you get a second chance.
But Jay is quick to point out that he doesn’t mean competing onThe Challengewas easier thanSurvivor.
In fact, it’s actually the opposite.
“It’s way harder thanSurvivor, and it literally wrecked me.”
I’m like, ‘You’re an idiot, why wouldn’t you take the weakest dude?
If you think I’m the weakest dude take me to the final with you!
That would be the smartest thing to do.’
But no, they don’t think like that.
They think like meatheads.”
Another way that competing onThe Challengediffered fromSurvivorwas the level of athleticism required.
“WhereasSurvivorwas like, my biggest threat was an out of shape cop from Boston.
Not saying any names, Bret LaBelle, sorry buddy!”
I hope this isn’t a purge.'
I just didn’t want to go home."
“TJ Lavin is sitting in front of me!
I’m actually onThe Challenge.
This is a dream come true.'”
This is great!'"
he says with a laugh.
And then remember, oh yeah, thats me."
The Challenge: Total Madnesspremieres Wednesday, April 1, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.
