## Resource

Johnny Bananas joins Brooke for a no-holds-barred conversation about more than 20 years at the center of reality television. From getting eliminated almost immediately on The Traitors to becoming the most decorated player in The Challenge history, Johnny breaks down the strategy, manipulation, rivalries and psychology behind surviving reality TV. He opens up about the creation of the Johnny Bananas persona, how years of competition have affected him mentally, his complicated relationship with MTV, and whether life in front of the camera has made relationships and starting a family more difficult. Plus, Johnny talks CT, his friendship with Travis Kelce, the future of The Challenge, and why after all these years he still isn't finished. Learn more about your ad choices.
