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.

Jenna Compono

Veteran
The once-legendary "Barbie Beast" who has struggled to make much of a mark on Challenges of late, Jenna is back, looking to return to past prominence. With plenty of competitive drive and athletic talent, this elimination badass can never be counted out as a serious Finals threat. One twist for Jenna: She'll be entering the game without her boyfriend Zach for the first time in several seasons -- which could rob her of a key ally but also minimize potential drama. Even with several close allies alongside her, Jenna may need to dig down and get in touch with her ruthless side if she hopes to finally take home a win.

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.

Jennifer West

Veteran
The last Rookie standing on "War of the Worlds 2," Jenny impressed her fellow Challengers from the moment she stepped onto the playing field with her intimidating strength and athleticism. Ultimately, she was sent home in a shocking Hall Brawl upset and now returns to the game hungry for redemption and to reach her first Final. Of course, she'd be wise to watch her back, as plenty of competitors would love to take out such a massive threat, which won't be easy, as Jenny does not plan to go home without a fight.

Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio

Veteran
7 Wins (The Island, The Ruins, Rivals, Battle of the Exes, Free Agents, Rivals III, Champs vs. Stars 2017) – Returning for his 20th season, Bananas is hungrier than ever to prove he's still got it after a six-season Finals drought. Known for being one of the game's most ruthless and renowned players, Bananas's recent stumbles can largely be attributed to a single source: Wes. "Archrivals" doesn't even begin to describe this pair's antagonistic relationship, but one has to wonder whether or not focusing so much energy on one individual has hampered Bananas's once-legendary gameplay. With a massive new game twist in the mix, will their blood feud have to take a back seat, or will the two continue to go at it -- even if it destroys them both?

Jordan Wiseley

Veteran
3 Wins (Battle of the Exes II, Dirty XXX, War of the Worlds 2) – Jordan might have had the best "War of the Worlds 2" experience of anyone, as he walked away with not only a Finals victory, but a fiancée, as well, proposing to his girlfriend Tori after an impressive elimination win. Now, the two enter the game as an ultimate power couple looking to win some big money to help jump-start their life together. While Jordan's elimination and Finals records speak for themselves, he sometimes struggles with living conditions and may need to tone down his blunt personality before rubbing anyone the wrong way. As one of the most fearless competitors out there, Jordan has a great shot at cementing his place among the all-time "Challenge" greats.

Kailah Casillas

Veteran
On her previous seasons, drama magnet Kailah has found herself in the center of controversies involving bed-wetting, suitcase-throwing and even a full-on brawl that saw her sent home on night one. Nevertheless, Kailah remains one of the game's most fearless competitors and a constant threat in both challenges and eliminations. With close friends Jenna and Nany at her side, Kailah is sure to have an advantage politically, and with a happy long-term relationship at home, she'll be able to avoid the romantic turmoil that has distracted her in previous seasons. As a result, Kailah has a great shot to return to the Finals and lock down her first win.

Mattie Lynn Breaux

Veteran
Mattie is back and looking to wipe away the memory of her embarrassing tap-out during the all-time grueling Final on "War of the Worlds." She'll hope to use her charming personality and intimidating strength to navigate toward her first-ever "Challenge" win. A laid-back Southerner, Mattie has nevertheless proven she is willing to stand up to anyone she feels did her wrong and will enter this game with that same fearlessness. Ultimately, Mattie will have to push herself harder than the last time if she hopes to end up winning.

Melissa Reeves

Veteran
The last time we saw Melissa, she lasted all of one night in the Challenge House on "Final Reckoning" before a heated physical altercation with Kailah got both combatants the boot. This fight was hardly out of character for Melissa, who has shown herself to be utterly unafraid when it comes to confrontation and willing to get in just about anyone's face at the drop of a hat. Still, when the unpredictable Brit can channel her energy toward the game, she stands as an imposing competitor and a definite threat to make her first-ever Final.

Rogan O’Connor

Veteran
1 Win (War of the Worlds 2) – The sole actual Brit on the triumphant Team U.K. on "War of the Worlds 2," Rogan is back looking to build on a stellar season in which he went from "Challenge" punchline (due to his poor Rookie showing on "Vendettas") to Finals Champion. Despite his big win, Rogan's "Challenge" résumé still has one major omission: He has yet to taste an elimination. Lucky (or unlucky) for him, he'll have to go to the elimination floor if he hopes to qualify for this season's Final. With numerous enemies around and a very uncertain relationship with spurned ex-lover Dee, Rogan will have plenty of obstacles to overcome if he hopes to lock down back-to-back titles.

Stephen Bear

Veteran
Bear is back and ready to amuse, charm and annoy his way to what he hopes will be his first-ever Finals appearance. During his solid but ultimately disappointing showings on "War of the Worlds" and "War of the Worlds 2," this boisterous Brit has shown a knack for inviting chaos into the "Challenge" world but still being able to back it up in the elimination arena. He's also proven himself quite the ladies' man and, rumor has it, enters the game with his sights set on a particular female Veteran. Will the persistent charmer get what he wants, or will his romantic pursuits get in the way of his game and lead to yet another unhappy exit?

Tula “Big T” Fazakerley

Veteran
On "War of the Worlds 2," this "Shipwrecked" alum entered the game with high hopes only to fall victim to Rookie targeting and get sent home in the first female elimination. Despite her early exit, the Londoner proved she had an incredible amount of heart. Now, Big T is back, hoping her experience can help take her deeper into the game and maybe even to her first Final. If she wants to get there, she'll have to make a few more friends and learn how to politic. Still, with her fearless attitude, Big T is sure to become a true force.

Wes Bergmann

Veteran
2 Wins (The Duel, Rivals II) – The true master manipulator of "The Challenge," Wes has earned a reputation for singlehandedly dominating the politics on nearly every season he's played. Of course, his devious ways have earned him plenty of enemies, as well, first and foremost Johnny Bananas. The pair's epic rivalry has seen each of them reshape their game to gain the advantage only to see the other snatch it right back. Of course, this laser-focused feud has, at times, impeded their overall success, as Wes learned the hard way, falling victim to a blindside on "War of the Worlds 2." With redemption at stake, will Wes be able to strategize a plan that can send him back to the winner's circle?

Asaf Goren

Rookie
"Big Brother (Israel)," "So You Think You Can Dance" – An Israeli judo champion turned dancer who has competed on "So You Think You Can Dance" and recently won "Big Brother VIP (Israel)," Asaf possesses both the physical abilities to dominate the "Challenge" battlefield as well as the strategic savvy to excel on the political side of the game. As a lifelong underdog with a hypercompetitive attitude, don't be surprised to see Asaf go all out in his pursuit of victory. Of course, with moves like his, Asaf's best strategy might be to work his charms on a well-connected female Veteran. If he plays his cards right, his charm could be his ticket to the top.

Bayleigh Dayton

Rookie
"Big Brother" – A self-described "mean queen," with an athletic background, this "Big Brother" alum is fully confident when it comes to competing and looks forward to mixing it up with "Challenge" Vets. She won't be alone in her endeavor, as she enters the game alongside her new fiancé Swaggy C, who she met in the "Big Brother" house. Together, the two hope to stand out as a power couple but as Rookies will have to be wary of the toll the game can have on a relationship. With a wedding to pay for, Bayleigh better hope they can get it together and make it to the end.

Christopher Jordan "Swaggy C" Williams

Rookie
"Big Brother" – Swaggy C is definitely not afraid to make enemies, which he proved by becoming a lightning rod for conflict on "Big Brother." Fortunately for Swaggy, he enters the Challenge Bunker alongside his fiancée Bayleigh, who can hopefully help keep his intensity in check as they look to stay under the radar and politic their way to a Final. With several "Big Brother" allies in the game, Swaggy finds himself with a great shot at taking home the money he needs for a dream wedding.

Jennifer Lee

Rookie
"Amazing Race" – This model and "Amazing Race" alum enters the game as a total wild card with zero "Challenge" experience under her belt and zero history with any of her fellow competitors. Despite her inexperience, don't be surprised to see this Rookie making major waves in the Bunker, as she has never been one to back down from a fight. In particular, she manages to get under the skin of a proven "Challenge" champion. Look for this fearless fighter to do anything it takes to win the money.

Kaycee Clark

Rookie
"Big Brother" – As the winner of "Big Brother 20," Kaycee enters her Rookie "Challenge" season looking to add another W to her collection. Having proven her political mastery in the art of keeping vague, she is undoubtedly a threat to go far in this game. Even beyond politics, this professional tackle football player is sure to be an intimidating force, as even hardened Veterans are likely to think twice before lining up against her in an elimination. Kaycee is an absolute threat to come out on top.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
