The Challenge OGs are back for more!
The Challenge: All Stars returns next month to Paramount+ with 24 ‘Challenge’ favorites from the past battling it out for chance to earn the title of ‘All Star’ and– more importantly– a cash prize of $500,000.
“With past relationships that run deep and competitive streaks that never die, they will have to overcome the obstacles both in and out of the game to take home the win,” the Season 2 press release states.
“Returning for a chance to win the ultimate competition, the players will face unprecedented, over-the-top challenges and vie for their shot at the $500,000 prize.”
Season 2– which was filmed in August in Cancun, Mexico— will consist of 10 episodes hosted by TJ Lavin, who hosted the inaugural ‘All Stars’ season. The longtime ‘Challenge’ host isn’t the only one returning for Season 2–- among the 24 competitors are eight returning OGs from Season 1. There are also plenty of competitors— such as Casey Cooper and Jodi Weatherton— will return after over a decade away from the show.

Tyler still looks like e beast! I always liked Ryan, he was considered weak so I hope this is his redemption. Also lovely to see names I haven’t seen for ages like MJ and Nehemiah. Cohutta? Damn, this man still looks good.
No CT, I am not watching
Allstars?? ? Nah.
This is a much better cast than the last one. Although, I was pretty surprised to see Leah and Casey. They couldn’t have been less athletic when I saw them last. Maybe they’ve gotten better? I guess we’ll have to see.
Also, is that really Cohutta??? He looks so different with long hair.
I’m so stoked! Love seeing the old school contestants!
I have watched pretty much every season of the challenge and since the early 2000s real world/road rules but didn’t remember a lot of this cast lol.
same here haha
Wow I would not have recognized Melinda.
Brad looks like a fool with that big puffy gross beard.
