Fantasy Cast for The Challenge: Battle of the Shows
The Challenge is currently filming it’s 41st season. We just saw season 40 titled, “Battle of the Era’s” where Jordan Wiseley, Rachel Robinson, and Jenny West all came home with the championships. Jordan is from The Real World, Rachel is from Road Rules, and Jenny is from Survival of the Fittest. There are a plethora of shows being shown on The Challenge now. This fantasy cast would show all of the different shows that are represented with individual seasons.
Nia Moore and Jordan Wiseley
Original Show - The Real World: Portland
Jordan and Nia were the first team I thought of for this hypothetical season. They went from hating each other, to lovers, to best-friends. Jordan is a 5-time champion and is a threat on any season he is on.
Ashley Mitchell & Cory Wharton
Original Show - The Real World: Ex-Plosion / Back to San Francisco
Ashley and Cory were actually already paired together one time. They were partners on Rivals III and performed okay. Ashley is now a 2-time champ and Cory is a multi-finalist. I think they could get pretty far.
Nany Gonzalez & Leroy Garrett
Original Show - The Real World: Back to Las Vegas
Team no championships would come in and probably make the final. Winning the final is the hard part for these two. They’ve been to multiple finals and haven’t crossed the finish line yet. I’d love to see them win together.
Natalie Anderson & Tyson Apostol
Original Show - Survivor: Winners at War
These two would be my favorite to win. Natalie was a beast on Double Agents before she was medically disqualified. Tyson made the final and could’ve won The Challenge: USA 1 if he could have finished a Sudoku. I also know they debuted on different Survivor seasons but they played together on Winners at War so I’m counting it.
Amanda Garcia & Hunter Barfield
Original Show - Are You The One? 3
Let’s bring this mess back. Amanda would be partnered with her best friend’s ex in this situation. I don’t know if Hunter and Ashley would be able to get their issues fixed in time. Hunter is also best friends with Cory Wharton who is partnered with Ashley Mitchell so it would be a mess all around.
Cara Maria Sorbello & Brandon Nelson
Original Show - The Challenge: Fresh Meat II
We need some Fresh Meat representation. Cara Maria has made her grand return to The Challenge and she deserves a partner that will back her. Brandon is the only one still in the game from Fresh Meat II so it will be interesting to see how far they can get.
Da’Vonne Rogers & Paulie Calafiore
Original Show - Big Brother 18
This duo would be must see TV. I know we’ve seen them together before on Final Reckoning and War of the Worlds but I want to see them ahve to work together. They seem to be in a better place now but I know everyone remembers their iconic fight from Big Brother 18.
Georgia Harrison & Theo Campbell
Original Show - Love Island UK 3
I know Georgia has said that she is probably done with The Challenge but I think she would consider coming back if she could partner with Theo. Georgia and Theo are genuine friends who care for each other. I think they could get pretty far.
Kiki Morris & Ciarran Stott
Original Show - Bachelor in Paradise Australia 1
These two were actually exes. Kiki won The Challenge: Australia while Ciarran got 2nd place. I believe these two would be targeted early because they’re not from The United States but I could see them winning a few eliminations.
Rachel Robinson & Shane Landrum
Original Show - Road Rules: Campus Crawl
We obviously needed Road Rules representation on The Challenge: Battle of the Shows. Rachel and Shane are my two picks to come back to the flagship and it just works out that they are from the same season of The Road Rules.
Tamaris Sepulveda & Garrett Morosky
Original Show - FBOY Island 2
FBOY Island was a great show on HBO Max and then on the CW and I highly recommend watching it if you haven’t yet. Garrett was the most well known guy because he got to the end and tried to steal the money from his partner. He came back for season 2 on a guest role. Tamaris was the star of season 2 when she chose herself instead of any men.
Shan Smith & Danny McCray
Original Show - Survivor 41
Shan and Danny both have challenge experience on The Challenge: USA 1. Danny ended up winning that season. I’d love to see these two be a team. Shan is a little messy with her drama though and Danny doesn’t have any issue telling people how he feels so I could see these two being targeted early.
Michaela Bradshaw & Jay Starrett
Original Show - Survivor: Millennials vs Gen X
People have been wanting these two to be on a season together or partner together for years. They would be the first two calls from Survivor: Millenials vs Gen X. From what I understand they are on good terms now and if that’s true they can get pretty far together.
Taylor Hale & Monte Taylor
Original Show - Big Brother 24
Let’s put a Big Brother final 2 together. Why not? Taylor and Monte had a showmance on Big Brother 24 that led to them getting to the final 2. Taylor ended up winning the season and winning America’s Favorite Player. Rumor has it there has been some issues with these 2 after Big Brother so I’d love to see where they would stand if they had to work together.
Olivia Kaiser & Josh Goldstein
Original Show - Love Island 3
Olivia has become one of the female faces of the show. She deserves a spot and I was actually struggling to partner her with someone else. Josh is a fan favorite who would have won with Shannon St. Clair if they didn’t have to leave early. I wonder how they would play together.
Amber Borzotra & Frankie Grande
Original Show — Big Brother 16
This would be my favorite team to watch! Amber is a Challenge Champion and Frankie is just naturally good at almost everything. I also think Frankie can carry the social and political game of this team and Amber and Frankie could get to a final.
Ashley Kelsey & Frank Sweeney
Original Show - The Real World: Back to San Diego
I want Frank back on every season possible. He’s currently working with Sam McGinn on The Challenge All-Stars: Rivals. I don’t think anyone else from The Real World: Back to San Diego would come back except Ashley. Honestly these two would play very well together.
