The Challenge has had 40 seasons throughout its run and we have seen some crazy things from CT and Adam's fight on night one of The Duel II, to Bananas taking all the money from Sarah, to Turbo winning his rookie season. I'm going to make a few bold predictions for season 41 and on. Let me know in the comments what you think and if you think any of this would actually happen.

We Will Get a Rookie Winner and it Will Be Makensy Manbeck

Original Show - Big Brother 26 (2nd Place)

Makensy could have won Big Brother 26 if she didn't take Chelsie Baham to the final 2. Makensy is a comp beast who played a great social game. She is not the most strategic player but a social game can get people to the end. Look at Kaycee Clark. I feel like predicting a rookie winner wouldn't have been a big deal but naming the rookie winner is.

We Will Get a Bravo Member Casted From Southern Charm or Summer House

To be fair I don't think Paige and Craig will be the two people to cross over to The Challenge. They have too much going on with their work and personal lives. Bravo is a huge network and they tried it before with Faith Stowers from Vanderpump Rules but it didn't work out. Here are some people from Southern Charm or Summer House I could see them getting...

- Olivia Flowers (Southern Charm)

- Chleb Ravanell (Southern Charm)

- Rod Razavi (Southern Charm)

- Luke Gulbranson (Summer House)

- Mya Allen (Summer House)

- Everett Weston (Summer House)

Amber Borzotra Will Win Another Season and Join the Top 10 Best Female Challengers Ever

Original Show - Big Brother 16

Championship: Double Agents

Amber is an example of someone who won her rookie season of Double Agents. She is a Challenge Champ and was 6th place on Ride or Dies. There was a chance her and her boyfriend, Chauncey Palmers, could have won that season. Her and Faysal Shafaat should have been locks to win All-Stars: Rivals. They flopped on that win but I think Amber could come back and still get a win. People are going to target people like Cara Maria Sorbello, Ashley Mitchell, and Laurel Stucky over her and that could get her to the end.

The Challenge Will Steal Survivors Idea and Let The Fans Vote For A Season

Survivor started this on season 31 with a "Second Chances" Season for Survivor: Cambodia. Each player had to be voted into the game by the fans. It was an iconic twist that let the fans have a say. They brought it back for season 40 letting them pick different things that change the game. The Challenge will do this and let the fans pick the cast and theme one day. I can see the options being "Free Agents II, Exes III, or War of the Worlds II" as well as being able to pick the cast.

Jordan Wiseley Will Do 1 More Season, Win It, and Then Retire

Original Show - The Real World: Portland

Challenge Championships: 5

  • Exes II
  • Dirty 30
  • War of the Worlds II
  • World Championship
  • Battle of the Eras

Jordan has 5 Challenge Champions. He is in the list of best challengers ever, but The Challenge isin't his life. The Challenge is the whole life of people like Johnny Bananas and Cara Maria Sorbello. Jordan took so many seasons off and still has 5 wins. He has a clothing line, he acts, he is now a professional racecar driver. Jordan just goes on The Challenge for the paycheck and for the competition. I think he does one more season to get the win and announces a retirement.
