There's a lot of behind the scenes stories over the years that are GOAT tbh, so I thought it was a good idea to create this thread and discuss them here.
------
This story of Abe, Kenny, and Johnny stealing food from the production team on the Island got to be the best behind the scene story I ever heard of in Reality TV history.
Heard it on Derrick's podcast with Abram and Kenny.
To summarize what happened: On the Island, the whole cast was starving for food, because all they had to eat was rice and nasty fish. So Abram decided to go on a mission to get some food from the kitchen in the production team's headquarters. The production team's headquarters was located about 30 yards away from the huts that the whole cast was living in, but there was a fence separating the two (to prevent castmembers from entering the area because it was solely for production members). Cast members were able to smell the food the production team were cooking from their huts. Abe, dressed up in all black, one late night, sneakily jumped out of a hut window to get away from the rest of cast and crew, and went on a mission to steal food from production. They don't really describe how he got to the other side successfully, but you have to assume he most likely jumped over the fence. He ended up stealing stuff like eggs and hot chocolate.
This was early in the game, since Abe was the second person sent home. So Kenny and Johnny decided to do the same thing Abe did, so they didn't starve on the show. Kenny on Derrick's podcast "After Abe left, we were like oh sh*t you know. Unless we came up with a plan of our own, we were sh*t out of luck of the good food, because Abe was supplying us with hot dogs and sh*t like that."
After this, Kenny goes on to explain one instance in which him and Johnny were stealing food from the production team's kitchen and this is what he says while Derrick and Abe die of laughter the whole time in the background as he's telling the story: "I will say, and I totally stand behind this, and I think Derrick and Abe should agree with me on this. Johnny is one of the smarter guys, if not the smartest guy on The Challenge, as far as being crafty and coming up with different scenarios and plans to execute something. Uhm, however, in this situation, I've never met a dumber person. I really think he was definitely drunk or something. Johnny comes to get me and goes 'hey come look what I got [from the production team's kitchen], come help me', so I go over to the fence, it's pouring rain, it's dark outside, I was just like looking out for him ya know, I was just making sure nobody went by the fence where he was crawling underneath it. He ripped a whole through the bottom of the fence and I was like don't rip the whole part, because they're gonna know it was us. And then Johnny was like 'alright, but I can't get this thing through' and I'm like 'what did you get that we can't fit through the f*cking hole we already have' and it's like his body was able to fit through, ya know, so I didn't really know what he was trying to pull through this hole and little did I know, he stole an entire cooler. You know one of those coolers you bring to the beach for like 13 people, [that's what he brought], but he doesn't bother looking inside the cooler until we get it to the other side of the fence. We're ripping it through the fence, [get it to the other side, open it] and it's basically filled with chopped up vegetables like carrots and celery and sh*t. I'm like 'dude, do you realize, we just wasted an hour getting a bucket full of.... bullsh*t'. It was basically nothing we wanna eat. So I told Johnny 'I'll come back there with you. So I dress up all in black, we crawl underneath the fence, and we're back there laying in the mud in the pouring rain. After they found out we did this, they were like 'you know how dangerous that was, you guys could've gotten bit by a snake or something like that', but whatever, when you're starving, you don't really give a sh*t. So we crawl underneath the fence, we're laying in this mud, covering our faces in the mud and stuff, we finally get to the [kitchen/]camp and [Johnny's] grabbing like Bisquik (the pancake mix), and sh*t I'm like 'Idiot, how are we gonna cook that. We don't have like a frying pan to make pancakes. And not only do we have cameras surrounding us everywhere.' I'm like 'they're gonna see this you stupid a**'. We're going through and trying to find cold cuts or something, or anything we can eat raw. *Derrick asks Kenny who was back there at the time, and Kenny said the whole production team was in there tents sleeping because it was about 2 in the morning* *Kenny continues the story* We finally come across a couple of hot dogs, some eggs, some condiments, stuff like that, but he's stealing double of what we got. And I was like 'its bad enough we have to steal one bottle of ketchup, what do we need 2 for? We have one full bottle here, we don't need 2 ketchups'. *Derrick making fun of Johnny for not thinking of the fact that [production] is gonna notice 2 missing bottles of ketchup and a whole cooler is missing and all their vegetables are gone* I was like finally, here, we'll take these brownies, it can look like somebody [from production] ate them, we left the tray, and I put the brownies in my jacket. I took the brownies, we took some hot dogs, we took some eggs, we took some condiments and stuff like that. I put all the stuff in my jacket, and we get back to [our huts], and we basically share the wealth. We went into Jenns room, we gave her some brownies and we gave Paula some stuff. We also had peanut butter and jelly, so we were scooping out peanut butter and jelly with our fingers and eating it off our hands."

The fact that Kenny and Johnny were fined for this, while Abram wasn't, also makes it even funnier: vevmo.com/forum/island-kenny-and-johnny-caught-stealing.
