This quirky, sometimes sarcastic personality trait has continued to persist even more recently when Apostol explained his reasons for joining The challenge: the United States.

This is another type of high-risk, high-reward, elimination-style competition that the competitor is no stranger to. But rather than desires and cunning being someone’s bane, it is sheer willpower in one-on-one fights that rules the day. So why did Tyson Apostol join the MTV / CBS crossover?

Sometimes I have been the victim of a big mistake, like it happened in heroes against villainsin which he basically voted himself out of the game (his alliance member, Courtney Yates, later claimed he actually tried to stop her from making that particular mistake).

However, in another punchy humor from the brand, the infamous TV personality became candid about how, at the ripe old age of 43, the decision to fight things in The challenge: the United States it was “more pay than pleasure”.
