A competitor's main objective on "The Challenge" is to take the top prize, but there's no denying that each vibrant personality also wants to party make memories with their fellow casties -- something Johnny Bananas knows well.
On the premiere episode of "Battle of the Exes 2," the infamous vet led a rousing toast before the very first mission -- and we couldn't help but enthusiastically clap along and yell "wooh!" with our boy.
"It almost wouldn't be right without his lame-ass toast," Jemmye reflected about Johnny's colorful address.
But she's totally right: For the past few seasons, the witty five-time champ has memorably kicked off the festivities with his humorous words of encouragement. To celebrate JB's penchant for always appropriately saluting the pack, here's a look at some of his best celebratory speeches:
-
The "exes" warm up with some booze on "Battle of the Exes"
Shortly after the final three pairs -- Johnny/Camila, Diem/CT and Emily/Ty -- landed in the Nordic island nation, the "super Icelandic soldiers" indulged in more than a few well-deserved shots. The always-witty vet stated right off the bat that he was happy to be in the frigid temps with the "only five people in this house that I can actually still stand."
-
Going down this "rivals" road again on "Rivals II"
Shortly after finding out that he had been paired with the "spawn of Satan" (Frank), the "Real World: Key West" alum proudly stood on top of a kitchen counter and declared that it was time to "let the party begin." Amen.
-
This "agent" has a few words for his fellow "free" peeps on "Free Agents"
Before nabbing his record-breaking fifth crown, Bananas set the tone very early -- the inaugural night to be exact -- by declaring, "Let the games begin!" And did they ever...
-
The banana is coming back for more -- with another "ex" on "Battle of the Exes 2"
He's traveled far and wide, and through it all, he's become a "lover, a fighter and an MTV 'Challenge' survivor." HEAR, HEAR.
L'chaim to YOU, JB. Share your favorite toast in the comments below, and be sure to catch a new episode of "BOTE2" on Tuesday, at 11/10c!
