The Truth About The Challenge Feud Between Johnny Bananas And Sarah Rice

Here's a breakdown of why stealing the money hurt Sarah Rice so badly. In Season 28 of "The Challenge," Rice and Johnny Bananas were paired up because of their, well, rivalry against each other. The two managed to put aside their bad blood and work together extremely well all throughout the season (via MTV). Like always, there was a twist when it came to the finale. Not only were the pairs there to compete against each other, but the people in the pairs would be competing as well. The fastest person of the winning pair would get to choose whether they kept all the money for themselves or split it equally with their teammate.

Johnny Bananas ended up being the quickest between the two and kept all of the money for himself. In case you're not very good at math, that left Johnny Bananas with $275,000 and Rice with $0 (via Fox Sports). At that time, Rice was the first winner of "The Challenge" to go home with nothing. Four years later, Ashley Mitchell ended up also stealing the entire money pot from her partner, Hunter Bartfield (via Cheatsheet). Mitchell walked away with $1 million, while her partner got nothing. She might not have had the idea in her mind if Bananas hadn't paved the way a few years earlier.
