👑Chris joins Sarah G (The Gauntlet) and Laurel (Free Agents) as the only players to win a season with 4+ elimination wins
💰They both catapult at 20th place of the all-time money leaderboard, joining Rogan with $250k earned!
You really outdid yourself on crappy format design,
@TheChallenge
JUSTICE FOR ZAZA, ONE OF THE MOST DOMINANT PERFORMERS IN A SINGLE SEASON. UTTER BS.

Friendly reminder that Jay, Emanuel, Colleen and Berna voted for Ed TWICE last week
This week, Emanuel, Berna and Colleen were saves

#TheChallengeUSA
⚠️For the first time EVER in 39 seasons the flagship show does not introduce any new castmembers!
This means that all the players competing have played before, so let's analyze the stats of the challengers
I'll rank them loosely by stats performance
#TheChallenge39
Jordan is 100% right. Fessy hasn't been in enough eliminations, eventually you will lose.
He has only ever played in Pole Wrestle and Hall Brawl, and last season he didn't even go into an elimination at all
#TheChallenge38
Happy birthday Diem ❤️❤️
10 years since your last birthday, in which you were preparing to go to your last challenge. You shouldn't have gone to Panama, but it was your endless fighting spirit that made you do it
We will forever remember you 🕊🕊
Some interesting stats after this week's elimination!
🔹First time Kam loses an individual elimination (record now 5-1)
🔹Cara has now the 2nd best elimination record of all time (15-6), behind Wes (16-11) and ahead of Johnny (15-15)
#TheChallengeAllStars4
In response of 8 players making the final without playing an elimination during the War of the Worlds 2, the Red Skull twist was introduced during Total Madness
Ever since, only CT managed to make the final without playing an elimination, until this season
Zara becomes the player that has won the most dailies this season so far
🥇Zara (5)
🟡Horacio (4)
🟡Ravyn (4)

- Enzo becomes the oldest player to win Hall Brawl (44 years old)
- Hall Brawl hasn't been used in any All Stars season
- Oldest winners are Jenny (33 years) and Big Easy (30 years old) for the guys
- CT and Johnny have never played Hall Brawl on the main show*
#TheChallenge
CT is the only champion left to enter the game as a mercenary
So far, the mercenaries this season are 4-5 in elimination rounds (44%)
In my mind, for this twist to be successful, the win rate of the mercenaries should be above 75%
This will make the purges anticlimactic
For the sixth time on his career,
@johnnybananas
wins the final elimination of the season
✅ Dunbar (Ruins)
✅ Adam/CT (Rivals)
✅ Mark/Robin (Exes)
✅ CT (Free Agents)
❌ Leroy/Theresa (Exes II)
✅ Dario/Nicole (Rivals III)
❌ Paulie/Natalie (Final Reckoning)
��� Faysal/Moriah
🧊 Cold truth: Emy (50k in 1 appearance) has now won more money than:
- Nany (38k in 11)
- Jenna (37.5k in 8)
- Leroy (36.5k in 12)
- Nelson (36.25k in 8)
- Aneesa (24.07k in 15)
#TheChallenge
Michele becomes the 37th person in the history of the show to be purged from the game
She joins Paulie and Da'Vonne on the only players to ever be purged out of the game in the last daily of the season
#TheChallenge39
Horacio is officially out of the running to beat the longest elimination win streak of the show
He joins the top 5:
🥇Laurel - 9
🥈Wes - 8
🥈Nelson - 8
🟢Brad - 6
🟢Horacio - 6
Sarah G, Jillian and Emily S are again the closest to beat the record, with 5 wins
Cassidy becomes the 21st player in challenge history to win 3 individual eliminations on the same season
This feat has only been done twice, by Aneesa on The Duel & The Duel II
🔎Odds of making the final: 75% (15-20)
🔎Odds of winning the season: 40% (8-20)
#TheChallengeUSA
By losing
#TheChallengeUSA
final, Bananas no longer holds the best final winning % out of 4+ finalists:
Darrell - 4/2 (67%)
Jordan - 4/2 (67%)
Bananas - 7/4 (64%) 🆕
Wes - 3/3 (50%)
Derrick K - 3/3 (50%)
CT - 5/5 (50%)
Kenny - 3/4 (43%)
Record is now shared by Darrell & Jordan
After 5 seasons, non-final purges are officially BACK!
The last time a player was purged during a daily was during War of the Worlds 2, in which Joss got paired with Kayleigh. They both got purged after getting last in a swimming challenge
#TheChallenge
Wes improves his overall elimination record (16-10) and now has a positive individual elimination record (5-4)
Counting all franchises and elimination types his record is now 21-10 overall and 10-4 individually, breaking the record of most individual elimination wins
💰 All-Time Career Prize Money Leaderboard after
#TheChallengeWorldChampionship
No placement modifications in the top 10! Despite winning, Jordan sits behind Ashley at 4th place, with only a $250 difference
By defeating Wes, Chris is the 21st player in the history of the show to win 3 individual eliminations in the same season
Next step for him is attempting to break records:
🥈Laurel (4 wins on Free Agents)
🥈Derrick* (4 wins on The Gauntlet 2)
🥇Sarah (5 wins on The Gauntlet)
For the FIRST time in 17 attempts, Cory finally wins his first individual daily
Cory has lost all his individual dailies on the following seasons:
❌Invasion
❌Dirty XXX
❌Vendettas
❌Total Madness
❌Double Agents
It took him 6 full years to win one!
#TheChallengeUSA
I'm still very angered by this.
One inch left or right, Olvia could've had permanent eye damage.
They should've forced them to use goggles for this checkpoint.
She also was too exposed as this isn't supposed to be done with one hand only
🇺🇸 Reminder that The Challenge: USA premieres July 6th on CBS!
Here is the cast breakdown: Big Brother folks have the majority at 9. Survivor and Love Island follow with 8 castmembers apiece. The Amazing Race only have 3 players
#TheChallengeUSA
⚠️Leroy has lost the most amount of consecutive finals in challenge history
🔴Leroy (6) - Rivals to AS4
🔴Cory (5) - Bloodlines to USA2
🔴Aneesa (4) - Gauntlet 2 to Ride or Dies
🔴CT (4) - Inferno to Exes
🔴Jenn G (4) - Island to Rivals
🔴Nany (4) - Free Agents to Ride or Dies
Not Devin getting ANOTHER non-physical elimination
I need to calculate his % of non-physical eliminations I bet it's really high, basically the anti-Fessy
#TheChallenge39
Desi wins her first challenge elimination after being safe for 12 consecutive daily challenges (counting USA1 and USA2)
She has never been voted during USA1, and was only voted by Paulie and Tori before the red team sent her into elimination on episode 4
#TheChallengeUSA
By both appearing on
#TheChallengeUSA
, Johnny and Wes maintain the record of the competing pair with most combined season appearances (45)
Johnny also extends the lead over CT in most season appearances (25 vs 23)
Out of 51 seasons,
@johnnybananas
has appeared on 49% of them
Sol joins Cara Maria in the exclusive group of SOLO* women winners across all franchises of
#TheChallenge
!
* Ashley won Final Reckoning and was shown as a solo winner despite competing with Hunter during the entire final
Tyri joins Danny as the players with the worst elimination record of all time (0-6)
Danny was a first boot on his first elimination, Tyrie on his last
Unfortunately for Tyri, I think he is in contention for the worst challenger of all time that has played 6+ seasons
#AllStars4
Devin and Tori are the official WINNERS of
#TheChallenge38
!
▪️ They both join Jonna as the only players to win their first season on their 7th appearance
▪️ They join Jordan and Sarah as the only pair to win a season without any previous wins
#TheChallenge
It's so funny that Devin has an elimination record that some challengers would kill to have but he does not seem necessarily intimidating...
#TheChallenge39
Amanda matches Shane's record of most seasons played without a final (7)
Coincidentally, they were both part of the Lavender Ladies alliance 🪻
⚠️Josh (who is playing this season) could join Tyrie, Danny and Jasmine's 2nd place (6)
#TheChallengeUSA
💰Finale Total Money Pots
🥇$250,000
🥈$70,000
🥉$36,000
🔻This is the lowest prize money pot for a finale since Invasion of the Champions ($350,000), which was 10 seasons ago
Congratulations
@meeshfitz
for improving your elimination round record to 3-3!
✅vs Renan and Michaela - Back Me Up
❌vs Amber and Hughie - Down to the Wire
❌vs Horacio and Olivia - Spun Out
✅vs Ameerah - Slam Dunked
❌vs Cassidy - Hot Wheel
✅ vs Cara Maria - Block Head
Ever since being voted by Amanda and Jonna in the first episode, Michele:
✅Survived 7 consecutive secret nominations without a single vote
✅Is the only castmember to be completely safe for 8 rounds
✅Has only received 1 vote during power nominations
#TheChallengeUSA
Devin and Tori become the SECOND ever pair to win the first elimination and be champions of the same season!
They are the first co-ed team to achieve this feat
#TheChallenge
Ravyn and Johnny, an all rookie pair with zero dailies played, won on their first attempt!
Only two pairs have ever done this, coincidentally on the very same episode, the first ever to include such pairs:
- Adam/Leroy
- Jasmine/Jonna
#TheChallengeRideOrDies
After 70 consecutive episodes since her debut, Kaycee has been officially eliminated for the game
This equals 4014 minutes. It would take you 2.8 days to watch them all again
#TheChallenge38
⌛ All Time Biggest Year Gap Between Season Appearances
A record is going to be double broken this season! Teck has been replaced by Kefla and Flora as the players who took the longest to come back to The Challenge
#TheChallenge
#AllStars4
Danny and Tori have reached a challenge final after winning ZERO dailies and ZERO eliminations
Although this has happened before, it's a very rare sight. Let's take a look of all those appearances with perfect under the radar games 🛫
#TheChallengeWorldChampionship
Tori explaining in 10 seconds why the current seasons of the show are stale and predictable
Back in the day being called for 4 straight seasons was an elite privilege reserved for only the most entertaining. Now almost all vets have that
#TheChallengeWorldChampionship
I will never be satisfied until we have:
- 38 Flagship
- 3 All Stars
- 3 Champs
- AUS, ARG, UK + Global
- 14 Road Rules
- 33 Real World + 4 Homecoming
- Spring Break Challenge
Released in HD on all platforms globally
#TheChallenge
I love All Stars. Not even in my wildest dreams I would have imagined a deliberation in which
@case_coop
was on the power seat for the first time ever owning it, and
@ayannasuperhero
recreating her iconic uniform line again 🔥
#TheChallengeAllStars2
I just replicated 'The Algorithm' of
#TheChallengeUSA
and it's absurd the amount of permutations that ensure zero partner repetitions on week 6, it's quite scandalous
@TheChallenge
1816 combinations ensured that no one had to repeat partners like Angela and
@AbbateDomenick
did
Did you know?
Cara Maria is the player that reached the most finals and was NEVER eliminated right before them
Cara Maria (9)
Kenny (7)
Jordan (6)
Wes (6)
Tori (5)
Sarah R (5)
Leroy (5)
⚠️Tori could join his ex-fiancée Jordan if she reaches the final tonight

#TheChallenge
This is exactly what has been missing on the main show. Having new players with baggage from the previous show, developing a story that makes sense and is easy to explain to the new viewers
Did you know?
Counting Champs vs Stars, CT and Tori currently hold the record for most challenge appearances before their first win
They both won on their 9th attempt
Without counting Champs seasons, CT has the sole record
#TheChallenge
#ChallengeStats
Based on unofficial data, All Stars 4 just broke the record of longest gap between filming and premiere dates
It has never happened that we had to wait more than 6 months for a season to premiere
#TheChallenge
'Jordan and Sarah are walking encyclopedias. Jay and Jenna aren't even informational brochures'
Damnn you gotta admit that some of Zach's confessionals are just amazing
Counting All Stars, Aneesa now officially takes away Cara Maria's record of most elimination wins by a woman (14)
Without counting All Stars, they are tied on wins: Aneesa's record is 13-12, and Cara Maria's record is 13-6
#TheChallenge38
One of the things I'm LOVING about
#TheChallengeArgentina
is that they show the FULL placements!
Marley made perfectly clear the time difference between winners & losers 👇
Amanda's eliminations
✅vs Johnny R & Jessica - Weight For Me
❌vs Jamie & KellyAnne - Chill Out
❌vs Ashley M & Nicole - Inside Out
❌vs Cory & Devin - Shake It Off
❌vs Kam & Ashley C - Uphill Battle
✅vs Big T - Vault Escape
❌vs Tori - Drone Drop
❌vs Desi - Evil Eye
Rewatching Spring Break Challenge and WOW the animosity between Susie and Evelyn was so high... Susie did not hold back here at all
A Susie/Ev pairing for Rivals 1 would have made much more sense than Paula/Ev
🏆 With the exception of Kaz, all the champion women have an individual elimination win rate greater than 75%:
Kaycee: 3-0 - 100%
Cara Maria: 6-2 - 75%
Laurel: 6-2 - 75%
Tori: 6-2 - 75%
Good luck to the girls that will have to face them because they'll need it
#TheChallenge39
María Fernanda Callejón (56) becomes the OLDEST elimination winner of all time!
With Adro (49), she beat Lizardo (33) and Floppy (35)

@TheChallenge
I thought you were supposed to give the champions the elimination types they fit best
This is definitely not the best elimination type for Cara Maria, same as Darrell and Laurel... what the hell happened?
#TheChallenge
Olivia is the most mentioned player of the season with 87 mentions! Followed by Horacio. They also lead the confessionals leaderboard. These rookies are putting in work 💪
#TheChallengeRideOrDies
After her elimination win on the latest episode of

She now enters the top 20 of most eliminations won in the history of the show (joint 18th place with Nehemiah)
