Today is the day! Looks like a new crock of Challengers are heading to film the next season of The Challenge. As the cast approaches the airport, we are starting to receive confirmation of the contenders for the upcoming Challenge season.
Keep in mind, this is all subject to change. People have made it all the way to the airport only to drop out. We’ve even seen people fly to foreign countries only to leave before the competition.
Shout out to Vevmo for their support in finding the cast.
Without further ado, this is most likely the cast of Challenge 29. If you don’t want this spoiled, turn back now.

Stop Being Polite 
Oh Boy Here We Go!!!
The Island 2? Is this a joke?
This isn’t the Island 2
Darrell and Derrick confirmed. Im sure now its ruins 2 or a variation of ruins. Maybe same sex teams of 1 champion and 1 challenger all competing amongst eachother.
Wil darrell compete?
It’d be ABSOLUTELY hilar if it was Island 2 because it’s notoriously the least liked theme and Bunim-Murray literally does not care LOL
I know for a fact that Shane Landrum is in the cast. My friend (his ex) is watching his dogs.
So far I’m not impressed with the confirmed cast. It will come down to Cara&Jenna, With the guys the only question is can Bananas keep from being eliminated, if yes he will win. If no Zack will win. The guys are a better group than the girls, Cory, Dario and Derrick will give zack and bananas a run for their money. Hopefully there are more veterans that will be confirmed. Otherwise this season will be a snooze fest.
Your a person that cannot be pleased and thats ok. Because this cast is way better than the cast weve had for the past 3 season. i believe the last good cast thats compartivel to this is free agents
The thing about that is you gotta look at the past Aliances Dario bananas were aliances last season and bananas and derrick are to and so I Darrel !!
derrick may be rusty but I think he’ll do more than give Bananas a run for his money. I think he’s going to take all the money if they don’t get him out early.
Remember Derrick is the forgotten 4th member of the JEK Dynasty I doubt he’s going to abandon the man who he won 2 of his titles with
You seem to be forgetting about CT and Laurel. I’m a Cara fun until the end but laurel is a force to be reckoned with and CT is a powerhouse. Zack is a joke with a hot head and no conditioning so doesn’t last long term. He will never win a final. Ever.
I have to be That Guy . . . Zach was on the winning San Diego team on Battle Of The Seasons. And he’s good at berating people. Gotta give him that.
Ok am I missing something because only 5 people come up for me when the page loads?
Bruno, Cara, Tony, Ashley & Kaila
According to Twitter Derrick is coming back & Jem tweeted good luck to Marie.
Also isn’t Tony’s gf SUPER pregnant?! God he’s such a skeezy fuck.
Im glad we finally have more than one or two black people on the challenge. They are not very diverse when casting for challenges so im glad to see a change
I heard Dylan from the last Real World is on the new challenge
I also heard Nicole from Skeletons is on too
Someone please take out Bananas. Bananas needs to paid.
sadly, that isn’t gonna happen. it’ll be another johnny bananas circle jerk, as per usual. the only guy with half a brain is Derrick. hopefully he realizes that the only way for him to win is to take bananas out, but unfortunately I’m sure he will ride bananas coattails and hope for second or third.
It looks like there are 3 former Champs for men and women. Are they possibly captaina in a cutthroat style format
We all know Bananas always has an alliance every season so here is who I came up with out of what we know Banana’s Alliance: Bananas, Derrick K, Tony, Zach (maybe Cory, Dario), Camila, Jenna, (maybe Ashley K, Ashley M, and Marie) What do you guys think?
Thought Camilla was done with challenges
Omg
I think it would be free agents 2
Did we officially rule out Free Agents 2? Because a lot of the people in this cast were cast in Free Agents such as Emilee, LaToya, Zach, Cara Maria… and I know the producers usually like to bring back players who have played the same format in past seasons.
I was really hoping the rumors about Darrell coming back were true đŸ˜¦
Why is it only 11 guys and 12 girls?
How long is filming usually?
I can’t wait to see the Zack, Ashley, Jenna drama……hopefully there will be some:)
Bruno was the biggest douche… Why was he called back?
Is Shane landrum really back?
Was so hoping for the return of CT
this cast is so freaking odd i love it!!! SHANE AND DERRICK AGHHHH!!!
This cast is AMAZING!!! So happy to see some vets back!
No AYTO 4 people? And was really hoping to see Devin comeback he’s the only guy I’ve cared to see come off AYTO to do a challenge plus he’s hilarious
Where the fuck is CT??!!!!!!
This cast looks great the best one since exes 2 and free agents… way better than rvals 3 and bloodliens
The pitbull is back!
IS Camila really comfirmed, I see her active on Instagram.
Larissa is posting for her…
Cara Maria hasn’t posted anything on Instagram in weeks so I would guess that she is for sure on the cast. Camilla is active and says she is done with the challenge chapter of her life so I would say no to her. Jenna hasn’t posted since Oct 1 so she is probably a for sure. Bananas is posting every other day so I say he sat this one out to enjoy his stolen Sarah money. Zach’s last post was Oct 1 as well so maybe we’ll get to see that Jenna/ Zach showdown after all!!! I hope most of the fluffers for the cast are false and they bring back some true grit cause this show is taking a dive. Remove the drama and fluff and these AYTO cast and make this about challenges. If they need new cast members, they hold auditions for people who deserve to be on here!!
Totally with you. Do another Fresh Meat if you need to, but get some folks in here that can actually hack it. Also, Cara has thwarted Bananas before. All I want is for him to get to the end and then get booted off. He’s a cretin.
Camila never stated she was done with the show for life, the post was about her being done with Rivals 3 and moving on. Anyway, Larissa is doing all the posting for her.
Where is Derrick’s picture? Is Wee Dee out of this Challenge cast?
He is not on this season
What!!!!!!
I feel like this could be Free Agents II?
No one seems to know the theme, but the pairs being eliminated have nothing in common, so I think it’s free agents 2
How do you know the pairs being eliminated?
1. “Crock of Challengers”? Really?!?
2. Results should be in a separate article.
3. Any new casting news?
Soo 25 castmembers have been revealed (CT & Laurel are on this season) and I hope the 13th girl isn’t Amanda as speculated but some old school suprise…
CT and Laurel are back? What is your source? Right now, I’m using SBP as my primary source, typos and all. I would be disappointed if CT came out of retirement, because I feel he was in a good place outside the show. Also, if he gets thrown off, he would break his tie with Abram in expulsions. Nobody should outdo the Bozo from Bozeman in that department.
Just going off of twitter, I would guess Derrick is not going to be there because he’s been tweeting about the Cubs all night.
Laurel has been tweeting off and on, but nothing specific so they could have been scheduled tweets.
I was hoping for some more vet ladies, but this cast looks pretty good. I’ll take any cast with CT in it.
It’s not Free Agents with a twist. Its a new format.
I won’t get into too many details, but you’re right. However, the cast may have initially been told they were on Free Agents until the twist was introduced.
Cast looks the best in years, it sucks though that those you are the one chump stains ruin the whole thing though. i heard a rumor those nobodies are getting a spinoff so why do we still have to see them on the challenge if there supposely getting there own show?
That is a legit rumor, and likely the reason some of the more likely AYTO competitors (like Devin or Christina) are not on this cast.
so if its legit why are five members from AYTO on this upcoming challenge? the majority of viewers dont like there inclusion
Quit Hating Kurt they deserve a shot!
Yesss C.T
