The Challenge 40 All-Champions Fantasy Cast
With The Challenge 39 doing terrible with viewership, season 40 is becoming more and more important. They need this season to be a huge success and to start that off they need to cast it right and pick the correct theme. I am going to create 2 different themes for 40 with full fantasy casts. Please let me know what you think about the all winners theme.
FEMALES
1. Cara Maria Sorbello
Original Show - The Challenge: Fresh Meat II
Challenge Championships: 2
- Bloodlines
- Vendettas
Cara Maria needs to return for this show to be successful. The last successful season is on my opinion was War of the Worlds II and that was the last season Cara was casted on. She has had a few seasons off and needs to be brought back for 40.
2. Laurel Stucky
Original Show - The Challenge: Fresh Meat II
Challenge Championships: 1
- Free Agents
Laurel and Cara Maria back on the same season? Sign me up. Laurel and Cara have one of the most interesting relationships in the history of reality tv not just The Challenge. Laurel just played on season 38, Ride or Dies, but left pretty early due to Jordan Wiseley and Aneesa Ferreira (but mostly Jordan Wiseley). She needs another chance.
3. Ashley Mitchell
Original Show - The Real World: Ex-Plosion / Back to San Francisco
Challenge Championships: 2
- Invasion of the Champions
- Final Reckoning
Millionaire Mitchell needs to return. She is one of the only highlights of Spies, Lies, & Allies before she was disqualified. She took a 2 season break but is definitely needed for 40 to be successful.
4. Desi Williams
Original Show - Survivor: Heroes vs Healers vs Hustlers
Challenge Championships: 1
- USA 2
Desi Williams is the most recent winner in the Challenge universe. She absolutely killed that final in The Challenge: USA 2. She played a great game all season and deserved the win especially after what happened to her in the finale of USA 1.
5. Sarah Lacina
Original Show - Survivor: Game Changers*
Challenge Championships: 1
- USA 1
If Desi is on All Winners then we need the Champion from USA 1 as well. Sarah is the female winner of USA 1 and won one of the hardest finals. She then came back for World Championship and tried her best but got 4th place in the final due to her partner getting hurt. I’d love to see how she would do with all champs.
6. Amber Borzotra
Original Show - Big Brother 16
Challenge Championships: 1
- Double Agents
Amber has been one of my favorite new challengers in the past few seasons. I am so happy she is a mother and is happy but I still want her to come back to The Challenge. Amber is a beast especially at endurance. Even if her political game is a little lackluster she makes great TV.
7. Kiki Morris
Original Show - The Bachelor Australia
Challenge Championships: 1
- Australia
Kiki deserves a spot on an all-champions season. She killed the final of Australia and played a pretty good game on World Championship getting eliminated right before the final. I think she could lay low on this season and get pretty far.
8. Kaycee Clark
Original Show - Big Brother 20
Challenge Championships: 1
- Spies, Lies, & Allies
I know a lot of people are bored by Kaycee but she also has a lot of fans. She definitely deserves a spot on an all-champs season. She might be one of the best daily and elimination challengers. Her only issue is she is not the best in finals.
9. Kaz Crossley
Original Show - Love Island UK 4
Challenge Championships: 2
- UK
- World Championship
Kaz has been on 2 seasons of The Challenge and won both of them. She won The Challenge: UK and then was partnered with Jordan Wiseley on World Championship and killed it. She is one of the few women 2 time champions and deserves to be invited for 40.
10. Emily Schromm
Original Show - The Real World: D.C.
Challenge Championships: 1
- Rivals II
Emily had the potential to be one of the best challengers of all-time. She chose to only do 3 seasons though. I know some people are thinking this is random but she was almost on Ride or Dies with Johnny Bananas but production wanted Nany Gonzalez to be his partner instead. She has the potential to win an all-winners season.
11. Jonna Mannion
Original Show - The Real World: Cancun
Challenge Championships: 2
- All-Stars 2
- All-Stars 3
500K Jonna deserves this spot too. We actually haven’t seen Jonna on the flagship on MTV since Exes II back in 2015. She has since won 2 seasons of The Challenge: All-Stars on Paramount + and performed on World Championship and USA 2.
12. Jenny West
Original Show- Survival of the Fittest
Challenge Championships: 1
- Total Madness
Jenny should have been on World Championship but she should have also been on Double Agents instead of being flown to location and then being told she is an alternate. Jenny would be my prediction to win this. She is just an overall beast.
13. Janelle Rose
Original Show - The Real World: Key West
Challenge Championships: 1
- The Inferno III
Janelle was so close to winning All-Stars 2 but fell short right at the end. She is definitely an old schooler but almost made her return to the flagship on Ride or Dies with Johnny Bananas as well. Bananas wanted Janelle but Janelle chose not to do the show.
14. Sarah Rice
Original Show - The Real World: Brooklyn
Challenge Championships: 2
- Exes II
- Rivals III
Sarah was last seen on Rivals III when Bananas famously “took the money and run Teej.” Sarah is one of the best female challengers of all-time and deserves to be casted on this season. I know some people don’t think she will ever come back to The Challenge but she has made it clear that she will return if Susie returns and that is exactly what happens in this hypothetical season.
15. Susie Meister
Original Show - Road Rules: Down Under
Challenge Championships: 2
- The Gauntlet II
- The Ruins
Susie was the OG Beast Barbie back in the day. She hasn’t been on a show since she won The Ruins but has one of the best eliminations of all-time on that show. I don’t know if she has the same connections to make it far in this season but I’d love to see her return.
16. Sol Perez
Original Show - Model & Host
Challenge Championships: 1
- Argentina
Sol was the solo winner of The Challenge: Argentina. There was no male winner only one winner and she won it. She is a huge celebrity in Argentina and should be brought to The Challenge. She was supposed to be on World Championship but wasn’t able to get medically cleared. I’d love to see how she would play on season 40.
17. Tori Deal
Original Show - Are You The One? 4
Challenge Championships: 1
- Ride or Dies
Whether you like it or not, Tori is the female face of the show. She is a beast competitor and deserves to be on this season. She would have connections with Kaycee, Jenny, Laurel & Desi. I could see her winning this season to be honest. It would also be interesting to see how she plays against Cara Maria.
MALES
1. Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio
Original Show - The Real World: Key West
Challenge Championships: 7
- The Island
- The Ruins
- Rivals
- Exes
- Free Agents
- Rivals III
- Total Madness
Johnny Bananas is arguably the greatest challenger of all-time. He didn’t have a great showing in the final of USA 2 but that’s okay. Whatever season 40 is I can guarantee you Bananas will be on it.
2. Jordan Wiseley
Original Show - The Real World: Portland
Challenge Championships: 4
- Exes II
- Dirty 30
- War of the Worlds II
- World Championship
Jordan is a beast. He is a 4-time Challenge Champion and there are legit arguments that he could have won Ride or Dies with Aneesa Ferreira as his partner. He just won The Challenge: World Championship so I’d love to see how he would do on this all-winners season. He would have instant alliances with Bananas, Laurel, Tori, Kaz, Sarah R., Jenny and more.
3. Turbo Camkiran
Original Show - Survivor Turkey 8
Challenge Championships: 1
- War of the Worlds
Turbo needs to be brought back especially cause Jordan is on this season. I would expect a big target on Turbo’s back but I think he could be the one to go into elimination and win battle after battle.
4. Danny McCray
Original Show - Survivor 41
Challenge Championships: 1
- USA 1
Danny absolutely killed the final of The Challenge: USA 1. He definitely deserved the win. He came back for World Championship and got 2nd place behind Jordan Wiseley. He would be a huge threat to win this season cause of his political game as well as his physicality.
5. Devin Walker-Molaghan
Original Show - Are You The One? 3
Challenge Championships: 1
- Ride or Dies
Devin started off as a villain but people have started to really love him on this show. He played such a strategic game on Ride or Dies and it got him the win. I don’t know how he would do on this season but I do think he would be targeted very early.
6. Alton Williams
Original Show - The Real World: Las Vegas
Challenge Championships: 1
- The Gauntlet II
Alton was recently on All-Stars 1 and got 6th place in the final. I’d love to see him back on the flagship. This season would be a great return story for Alton since he was a part of one of the most iconic seasons of The Real World of all-time.
7. Chris Underwood
Original Show - Survivor: Edge of Extinction
Challenge Championships: 1
- USA 2
Chris just dominated on USA 2. He won 4 eliminations on his way to absolutely killing it in the final. On this season he might not be target #1 and could work with Danny, Desi, and Sarah as Survivor players.
8. Rogan O’ Connor
Original Show - Ex on the Beach UK 2
Challenge Championships: 1
- War of the Worlds II
We can’t do an all Champs season without the first UK Champ. Rogan won War of the Worlds II with Jordan Wiseley, Dee Nguyen, and Chris “CT” Tamburello. Rogan hasn’t played The Challenge since Total Madness when he lost in an elimination in the final. I’d be interesting to see who he would team with.
9. Hunter Barfield
Original Show - Are You The One? 3
Challenge Championships: 1
- Final Reckoning
I know some people don’t consider Hunter a Challenge Champion but he did win Final Reckoning, he just didn’t receive any money. Hunter and Ashley back on the same season is something we need to see.
10. Mark Long
Original Show - Road Rules: 1st Adventure
Challenge Championships: 2
- Real World vs Road Rules
- Battle of the Sexes
We can’t have season 40 without Mark Long. He has been long rumored to be returning on season 40 no matter what the theme is. I don’t know how he will do but he will definitely bring in viewers.
11. Darrell Taylor
Original Show - Road Rules: Campus Crawl
Challenge Championships: 4
- The Gauntlet
- The Inferno
- The Inferno II
- Fresh Meat
Darrell was the best challenger of all-time at one point. He won his first four seasons and would have won The Ruins if he didn’t get kicked off. He has been on recent seasons like Double Agents, Ride or Dies, and All-Stars 1,2, & 3 but hasn’t been able to get the win.
12. Zach Nichols
Original Show- The Real World: Back to San Diego
Challenge Championships: 1
- Battle of the Seasons II
Zach was last seen on War of the Worlds II where he got 2nd place. He has been bringing himself back into The Challenge world though with his podcast, where he is interviewing challengers. I’d love to see Zach back on the show because he is always involved in drama.
13. Nehemiah Clark
Original Show - The Real World: Austin
Challenge Championships: 1
- The Gauntlet III
Nehemiah has always been a fan favorite and that has continued on the All-Stars spin-off. I have loved watching Nehemiah on All-Stars and think he deserves a chance back on the regular show. Season 40 is the perfect time for it.
14. Yes Duffy
Original Show - Road Rules: Semester at Sea
Challenge Championships: 2
- Challenge 2000
- All-Stars 1
Yes Duffy is the winner of All-Stars 1 and deserves a shot on an all champions season. He got 5th place on World Championship so he knows how to play with the best of the best.
15. Frank Sweeney
Original Show - The Real World: Back to San Diego
Challenge Championships: 1
- Battle of the Seasons II
Frank had potential to be the G.O.A.T. of The Challenge. In 3 seasons he had one championship, one 2nd place finish, and a medical disqualification. He still has never been eliminated from the show. I’d love to see him make his grand return on season 40.
16. Wes Bergmann
Original Show - The Real World: Austin
Challenge Championships: 3
- The Duel
- Rivals II
- All-Stars 3
I know Wes has made it clear that he will not be participating on season 40 of The Challenge but this is a fantasy cast and I want him on it. To be honest I think Wes could get pretty far on this hypothetical season.
17. Chris “CT” Tamburello
Original Show - The Real World: Paris
Challenge Championships: 5
- Rivals II
- Invasion of the Champions
- War of the Worlds II
- Double Agents
- Spies, Lies, & Allies
Obviously CT will be on season 40. He is in talks for the greatest challenger of all-time. We haven’t seen him since Spies, Lies, & Allies and Double Agents when he won in back to back seasons. If the competitors were smart they would take him out first.
