Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio is heading back for another chance at The Challenge glory — but a showmance is out of the question.
“Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, you’re not gonna fool me again,” Johnny, 41, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, August 8, while promoting his upcoming stint on The Challenge USA season 2. “You know, they say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result. Well, call me insane. I think one of the issues with [a showmance] is there’s just a lot of [questions about], ‘What is the actual intention here behind — is this for show? Is this for likes? Is this for clout?’ And unfortunately, more often than not, that tends to be the case.”
The MTV personality — who has won seven seasons of the OG competition — further explained that “it’s just not a good look” to enter into an on-camera relationship.
“It leads to way more headaches than I need,” Johnny said. “I’ve got enough to worry about on this show. Last thing I need to do is also start intermixing my personal life with it as well. It never ends well, and it only is gonna make your game more complicated because now you — nine times out of 10, if you get into a showmance on a show — are now taking ownership of this other person’s game as well and are viewed in almost as in like, some sort of an alliance.”
He added: “Females are gonna look at it like, ‘Oh, well, you know, Bananas is with this girl, that means that they’re working together or vice versa.’ The guys are gonna be like, ‘All right, well, we need to get rid of him because they’re [a unit], and if they get messy, and if their game gets messy,’ then it’s, like, you’re kind of now responsible for [the gameplay drama] as well.”
