Ranking the 10 Best All-Time Female Competitors on The Challenge
This list is going to be quite controversial. Everyone has a different perspective on who is the best and how the list goes. I know there will be comments giving me backlash but this is the list I have made as someone who has seen almost every season of The Challenge. I don't believe you can be on the list of best ever if you haven't won a Challenge Championship. Even though I love Kam Williams, Nany Gonzalez, and more they can't be on this list.

Why I Love One Piece
I have always loved films, TV, and music. They are part of my blood, my DNA. I could have easily written this piece on a Danny Boyle film, Firefly, Breaking Bad, Sons of Anarchy, or something by David Lynch or Paul Verhoeven or why my favourite Tarantino film is Inglorious Basterds—and maybe I will at some point. There are plenty of other big names I haven’t even mentioned. But when I read Angela's brief for this challenge, I knew immediately which show I was going to write about.

Fantasy Cast for Big Brother: 2nd Chance
Big Brother is one of the most popular reality tv shows in the world. There have been 26 seasons and each season is a must watch. One thing Big Brother doesn't do often though is bring players back. The last time we had returning players on the show was Big Brother 22 in 2020. We've also never had a Big Brother: 2nd Chances season. Survivor did this on Survivor: Cambodia and we saw Jeremy Collins and Kelley Wentworth become stars with the former winning Sole Survivor. I'd love to see who would win on this hypothetical season.
