Cast

Cory Wharton

Contestant
Cory has long been pegged as the Challenge's biggest flirt but has proven time and again he is a focused player with a tactical mind capable of deceit. As a Challenge veteran, Cory has never been shy about his willingness to betray alliances in order to get ahead in the game.

CT Tamburello

Contestant
With over a dozen Challenge seasons of down-and-dirty game tactics under his belt, veteran CT has developed a reputation as one of the game's grittiest players. Even though he has become a master of manipulation and intimidation, CT tends to rely on playing the middle politically, which doesn't always work to his advantage.

Josh Martinez

Contestant
As a former "Big Brother" champion, Josh made a name for himself on his debut season, War of the Worlds, with a larger-than-life personality and a fierce competitive spirit. Often underestimated, he has impressed his fellow competitors with his determination, but his tendency to gravitate toward in-house drama could stand in his way.

Tula "Big T" Fazakerley

Contestant
If there was a "Challenge" award for Miss Congeniality, Big T would have won it hands down. Big T charms her way into the hearts of just about everyone with her earnestness and humor. Now, Big T hopes to build from her friendships and alliances to make a deep run and possibly even reach a Final. Despite her improved social standing, Big T's small stature and lack of intimidation have made her an easy target in the past and will be traits she has to overcome. Look for her to dive into a calculated political game as she quickly cobbles together a ragtag crew of Rookies. Inspired by her proud Malawian heritage, Big T is determined to win money to help support hospitals in her birthplace. With this noble motivation behind her, Big T is sure to push herself beyond what anyone thinks is possible.

Natalie Anderson

Contestant
As a winner of her original "Survivor" season and the runner-up on her all-star, all-winners season, it's safe to say Natalie does not mess around when it comes to competition. With her combination of physical prowess and social game, Natalie is definitely one to watch and a strong potential candidate for Rookie of the Year. Of course, all that strength could have a downside, as it possibly could plant a target on her back from intimidated fellow Agents. As a proud Sri Lankan-American, Natalie wants to represent South East Asian women. With that motivation behind her and a reputation for winning, Natalie stands a great chance at racking up yet another big W.

Olivia "Liv" Jawando

Contestant
A self-described loudmouth, Liv is sure to stir up plenty of drama her Rookie season. This British "Shipwrecked" star is unafraid to tell it like it is and willing to get in the face of just about anyone who sets her off. Of course, Liv's competitive intensity and admitted lack of sportsmanship could wind up rubbing plenty of fellow Agents the wrong way, and she may find herself with a target on her back early on. Having faced plenty of adversity in her life, Liv is more than capable of fighting when her back is against the wall. Ultimately, she is dead set on winning "The Challenge" as a "screw you" to all of her doubters and has the grit and determination to claw her way to the very top.

Amber Borzotra

Contestant
"Big Brother" alum Amber B. is well-versed in the politics of the game and the need to adapt a stronger political strategy to make it to the final. Combined with her strength and laid-back attitude, she could take her opponents by surprise.

Amber Martinez

Contestant
Small and unassuming, Amber M's strength is often underestimated by the other players, but this Are You The One? alum is not afraid to stand up for herself. As she works on her political game, expect her to be a tough competitor to beat on the field.

Aneesa Ferreira

Contestant, Actor
Longtime Challenge veteran Aneesa has sharpened her social tactics in the game over the years, forming strong alliances with other veterans along the way. With a solid political game and finely tuned puzzle skills, Aneesa may have what it takes to bring home a win.

Ashley Mitchell

Contestant
Veteran Ashley has a championship on her mind. Since her start on Rivals III, Ashley has become notorious for her unapologetic political tactics and her grit and determination in the game. Ashley's athleticism is all too often discounted by the other players, but time and again, she proves to be a tough competitor to beat.

Darrell Taylor

Contestant
Two-time Golden Gloves boxer Darrell came out swinging at the start of his Challenge career and hasn't let up yet. He has shown he can square off with just about anyone threatening to stand in his way.

Demetrius "Mechie" Harris

Contestant
Mechie got his start stirring up drama on Ex On The Beach before making his debut on Double Agents. The D.C. native is open about his difficult upbringing and his drive to make it to the final to win money for his family.

Devin Walker-Molaghan

Contestant
Since his first Challenge appearance on Rivals III, Devin has made a name for himself as one of the most outspoken players in the game. He often takes confrontations with his fellow competitors too far -- regardless of the consequences. Devin has perfected his mental game and has become a master manipulator, making him a tough competitor to beat.

Faysal "Fessy" Shafaat

Contestant
Former Division I football player Fessy began his Challenge career on Total Madness and right out of the gate proved he had the strength, determination and grit to play the game. No stranger to drama, Fessy's past "Big Brother" experience has prepared him for the chaotic politics of The Challenge. His mental game combined with his athleticism and drive to win make him a formidable competitor.

Gabby Allen

Contestant
Gabby made her Challenge debut with the hopes of taking money home to help her family after her father's passing. The outgoing "Love Island U.K." and "Celebrity Big Brother U.K." star believes her past reality experiences will help her perfect her social game, but her political game will need to be strengthened in order to make the power moves that will help take her to the final.

Jay Starrett

Contestant
During his rookie season on Total Madness, Jay became a go-to target in the house, which made it difficult for him to hone his political game. Since then, he has returned in the hopes of creating stronger alliances. The Ex On The Beach and "Survivor" alum may seem easygoing, but his rock-climbing and surfing skills, and determination, make him a fierce competitor in the game.

Joseph Allen

Contestant
Joseph may have begun his Challenge career as one of the youngest rookies, but his competitive spirit has helped him compete alongside the vets. Along with his inexperience, the singer-songwriter's "America's Got Talent" appearance sets him apart from the other contestants, but his determination to win could take him far in the game.

Kam Williams

Contestant
Challenge vet "Killa" Kam began her rookie season on Vendettas following a stint on Are You The One? Not only has Kam developed a reputation as a strong physical force in the game, she's been known to build powerful alliances and play a ruthless political game throughout her career, making her a major player to watch out for.

Kaycee Clark

Contestant
After a strong rookie season on Total Madness, Challenge veteran Kaycee has a championship on her mind. The former "Big Brother"-winner has been known to create alliances with her fellow alums while playing an unassuming political game with the rest of the house. Even though Kaycee is hard to read, she is a highly motivated competitor and should not be counted out for a win.

Kyle Christie

Contestant
Kyle has not only worked his charm on the female competitors in the house, but has also used his fun-loving personality to his advantage in the game. The Geordie Shore alum has proven he has the tenacity to go far, and he isn't afraid to use political tactics to get a win.

Leroy Garrett

Contestant
An undeniable fan favorite, Leroy has won the hearts of fans and his housemates alike with his laid-back personality. Beginning on Rivals, the Challenge veteran has proven he can go far in the game, but his passive political approach could stand in the way of a victory.

Lio Rush

Contestant
Former WWE star Lio Rush steps out of the ring and into the chaotic world of The Challenge. He may be small in stature, but he has set out to prove he has the strength and determination to make it in the game.

Lolo Jones

Contestant
As a three-time Olympic athlete, Lolo has an intensity few can match. With undeniable strength and a no-quit attitude, the athletic phenom is sure to dominate in the physical challenges, but her intensity could make it difficult for her to create lasting alliances. Even though she's new to the game, Lolo's time on "Big Brother" has prepared her for the political hurdles that could stand in her way of a win.

Nam Vo

Contestant
Nam's time as a competitor on "Ultimate Beastmaster" has undoubtedly prepared him for the grueling physical demands of The Challenge. While the Germany native has solid athletic fundamentals, he will have to sharpen his political game by communicating with his partners and housemates to create lasting alliances.

Nany González

Contestant
Bold and brazen Nany is more fired up than ever. The Challenge veteran has her eyes on the prize. If Nany can keep her focus and steer clear of in-house drama, she could find herself in the running for a win.

Nelson Thomas

Contestant
Nelson, former Are You The One? star turned seasoned Challenge vet, has made it his mission to take the game by storm since his start on Invasion of the Champions. He and fellow competitor Cory have been thick as thieves since the beginning and have proven their loyalty to each other throughout the game. With strong alliances and unwavering determination, Nelson has proven he is a real threat to the rest of the house.

Nicole Zanatta

Contestant
Nicole Z. has proven she is a competitor to watch out for. Since her start on Invasion of the Champions, the professional firefighter has shown time and again she is unshaken by whatever physically demanding challenges are thrown her way.

Theresa Jones

Contestant
Theresa is a mother of two with a long history with many of the other veterans that could help her when it comes to forming an alliance. If she can tap into her competitive drive, she could make a serious push to win.

TJ Lavin

Host
Former BMX rider and X Games gold medalist TJ Lavin assumed his Challenge hosting duties during The Gauntlet 2 in 2005. With over two dozen seasons under his belt, the host has made his expectations of the contestants clear -- quitting is not an option.

Tori Deal

Contestant
During her Challenge career, Tori has become a respected and well-rounded competitor among her peers; however, since her stints on Are You The One? and Are You The One: Second Chances, she has carried a longtime rivalry with fellow Are You The One? alum Devin. Even though her alliances are strong, Tori will need to shake up her political strategy in order to take her game to the next level.

Wes Bergmann

Contestant
Perhaps one of the most political players in the game, Wes has all but perfected his ability to manipulate his fellow contestants. The veteran has spent his Challenge career strengthening his alliances and working on his seedy game-play tactics. Even though he possesses the strength and determination to win, the reputation he's built throughout his tenure has made him an easy target for elimination.
