Fantasy Cast for The Challenge 42 - Rivals 4

There are rumors that season 42 of The Challenge will either be Rivals 4, Exes 3, or Ride or Dies 2. I'm so excited for a whole partner season instead of solo and partners switching each week. I'm going to make a fantasy cast for all 3 themes before the cast starts filming in mid-February.

Olivia Kaiser & Michaela Bradshaw

Olivia Kaiser:

• Original Show - Love Island USA 3

Challenge Championships: 1

Vets & New Threats

Michaela Bradshaw:

• Original Show - Survivor: Millennials vs Gen X

Challenge Championships: 0

Olivia and Michaela need to be on the next Rivals season immediately. These two have a genuine disdain for each other, and I would love to see them play together. I wouldn't do Rivals for season 42 specifically because Olivia probably won't do it just due to her having a child. I think these two could win.

Tori Deal & Amanda Garcia

Tori Deal:

• Original Show - Are You The One? 4

Challenge Championships: 1

Ride or Dies

Amanda Garcia:

• Original Show - Are You The One? 3

Challenge Championships: 0

I mean, come on. These two have to be on. They have never gotten along and have always had issues. I wonder how they would do, but I do think they could get pretty far.

Kam Williams & Theresa Jones

Kam Williams:

• Original Show - Are You The One? 5

Challenge Championships: 0

Theresa Jones:

• Original Show - The Challenge: Fresh Meat II

Challenge Championships: 0

Kam and Theresa did not like each other on Double Agents. This team would be one of my favorites to win this season. They could play different sides of the house and get pretty far. They both have got 2nd place in a final before. Theresa on Exes II and Kam on Double Agents.

Cara Maria Sorbello & Laurel Stucky

Cara Maria Sorbello:

• Original Show - The Challenge: Fresh Meat II

Challenge Championships: 2

Bloodlines

Vendettas

Laurel Stucky:

• Original Show - The Challenge: Fresh Meat II

Challenge Championships: 2

Free Agents

All-Stars 4

I had to do these two as a team. Laurel and Cara were once partnered on the original Rivals and got 2nd place. Their rivalry is still going on, and it's time to make them work together again.

Amber Borzotra & Esther Agunbiade

Amber Borzotra:

• Original Show - Big Brother 16

Challenge Championships: 1

Double Agents

Esther Agunbiade:

• Original Show - Big Brother Nigeria 4

Challenge Championships: 0

Esther threw a drink into Amber's face. These two were on different sides of the house during Spies, Lies & Allies. I'm not sure if they get along now, but I'd love to see them work together.

Savannah Palacio & Terilisha

Savannah Palacio

• Original Show - The Circle 2

ROOKIE

Terilisa:

• Original Show - The Circle 2

ROOKIE

This is one of my favorite TV show rivalries, and it is also one of the most underhyped. These two hated each other on The Circle 2, and the fact that Netflix never capitalized off of it is insane. MTV and The Challenge should.

Angela Rummans & Sarah Lacina

Angela Rummans

• Original Show - Big Brother 20

Challenge Championships: 0

Sarah Lacina:

• Original Show - Survivor: Game Changers

Challenge Championships: 1

USA 1

I want these two back on my screen immediately. They were on two completely different sides of the house on The Challenge: USA 1 but they both made the final. This team would definitely be a threat to win.

Nany Gonzalez & Kaycee Clark

Nany Gonzalez

• Original Show - The Real World: Back to Las Vegas

Challenge Championships: 0

Kaycee Clark:

• Original Show - Big Brother 20

Challenge Championships: 1

Spies, Lies, & Allies

Let's just bring the exes onto the show. I loved seeing Nany back on Vets and New Threats, so let's put her with her ex.

Ashley Mitchell & Michele Fitzgerald

Michele Fitzgerald

• Original Show - Survivor: Kaoh Rong

Challenge Championships: 0

Ashley Mitchell:

• Original Show - The Real World: Ex-Plosion / Back to San Francisco

Challenge Championships: 2

Invasion of the Champions

Final Reckoning

This team would be a sleeper team to win. Ashley is constantly underrated even though she has 2 Challenge Championships. Michele basically got 2nd place on Battle of the Eras even though Rachel got more "Karma Votes" and got to the 1st place tie win with Jenny West.

Sydney Segal & Adrienne Naylor

Sydney Segal

• Original Show - Survivor 41

Challenge Championships: 0

Adrienne Naylor

• Original Show - Married at First Sight UK 8

Challenge Championships: 0

This is a bit of a reach, but I want more of the "New Threats" back, and Sydney did throw Adrienne into elimination every single week.

Jordan Wiseley & Turbo Camkiran

Jordan Wiseley

• Original Show - The Real World: Portland

Challenge Championships: 5

Exes II

Dirty 30

War of the Worlds II

World Championship

Battle of the Eras

Turbo Camkiran:

• Original Show - Survivor Turkey 8

Challenge Championships: 1

War of the Worlds

These two have to be the first call made. Put them on a season together. I know Jordan said on my podcast that he would never return to The Challenge but I would throw the whole bank at them.

Theo Campbell & Paulie Calafiore

Theo Campbell

• Original Show - Love Island UK 3

Challenge Championships: 0

Paulie Calafiore

• Original Show - Big Brother 18

Challenge Championships: 0

These two worked together well on War of the Worlds, but everything changed on War of the Worlds II as they were bitter enemies. We saw Theo take Paulie out of the game in Battle of the Eras.

Will Gagnon & Yeremi Hykel

Will Gagnon

• Original Show - Are You The One? 9

Challenge Championships: 0

Yeremi Hykel

• Original Show - The Amazing Race 35

Challenge Championships: 1

Vets & New Threats

Will and Yeremi as a rivalry might be a reach, but Yeremi did steal Olivia Kaiser as a partner and then won the whole season. We need more people from Vets and New Threats, as this cast was great.

Johnny Bananas & Devin Walker

Johnny Bananas

• Original Show - The Real World: Key West

Challenge Championships: 7

The Island

The Duel

Rivals

Exes

Free Agents

Rivals III

Total Madness

Devin Walker:

• Original Show - Are You The One? 3

Challenge Championships: 1

Ride or Dies

These two have been really hit or miss over the years. They had drawn-out arguments on Vendettas and Final Reckoning but seemed to be on good terms on Ride or Dies until they were back on bad terms on Battle of the Eras.

Frank Sweeney & Shane Landrum

Shane Landrum

• Original Show - Road Rules: Campus Crawl

Challenge Championships: 0

Frank Sweeney

• Original Show - The Real World: Back to San Diego

Challenge Championships: 1

Battle of the Seasons (2012)

This is TV gold. They got into it on The Challenge All-Stars: Rivals. Frank is a former Challenge Champion, and Shane is a great competitor. I think they could win together.

Ace Greene & Jeremiah Brown

Ace Green

• Original Show - Love Island USA 7

ROOKIE

Jeremiah Brown

• Original Show - Love Island USA 7

ROOKIE

Let's get this rookie duo in the game. Jeremiah and Ace hated each other the entire time on Love Island USA 7. Ace and his alliance actually took Jeremiah out of the game. I think this team would talk a big game but would probably be one of the first teams out.

Chris "CT" Tamburello & Josh Martinez

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

Josh Martinez

• Original Show - Big Brother 19

Challenge Championships: 0

CT and Josh have gotten into arguments before. CT also called Josh "The Goof" on Double Agents and took him out in an elimination. They're rivals, though, because of Josh's tweets about CT. They have since been deleted, but I'm sure anyone can find them.

Hughie Maughan & Corey Lay

Hughie Maughan

• Original Show - Big Brother UK 17

Challenge Championships: 0

Corey Lay

• Original Show - 12 Dates of Christmas 1

Challenge Championships: 0

These two got into a huge argument during the elimination on Spies, Lies, & Allies. I'd love to see how they would work together as partners.

Josh Goldstein & Tyrique Hyde

Josh Goldstein

• Original Show - Love Island USA 3

ROOKIE

Tyrique Hyde

• Original Show - Love Island UK 10

Challenge Championships: 0

Love Island Games 2 was must-see TV because of this rivalry. Tyrique and his friends kept throwing Josh in, but Josh kept winning. I actually think these two could get pretty far together.

Wes Bergmann & Jessie Godderz

Wes Bergmann

• Original Show - The Real World: Austin

Challenge Championships: 3

The Duel

Rivals II

All-Stars 3

Jessie Godderz

• Original Show - Big Brother 10

ROOKIE

Wes has said that he felt left out not going on Battle of the Eras. It's his time for a return. He had an amazing rivalry with Jessie from Big Brother on House of Villains 2.
