Like I’ve done with prior seasons, I am going to be taking a look at stats for the players on War of the Worlds. For this list, I can only really look at the “Veterans” who have a prior history on The Challenge. While some of the newcomers have competed on competitive shows, others have no history in competition shows.
Due to changes in The Challenge, this list will look different than my prior season lists. Rather than just posting elimination records, I’m going to have a section for wins and losses. There are so many Purges and redemptions now that a simple “elimination” section isn’t going to cut it.
Here are some guidelines to remember:
- Eliminations are counted as appearances in an elimination arena (The Jungle, The Gauntlet, The Dome, The Presidio, etc.).
- Elimination wins and losses from Battle of the Bloodlines only count if the competitor was actually competing in The Pit.
- If the elimination did not occur due to “chance” (like Cara Maria’s Jungle against Jasmine and Theresa or Wes and Nany’s Jungle), it will not count.
- Champs vs. Pros and Champs vs. Stars will be noted separately, but not counted as a formal appearance
- Bolded appearances in the finals indicate a win

You left off Bananas’ 1 redemption win from Final Reckoning and CT’s Win as a heavy hitter on Bloodlines and Jenna’s 1 elimination loss on Dirty 30
Thank you! I appreciate you fact checking. I included CT’s Bloodline victory, though I intentionally left it out the first time. In my mind, his opponent Jamie won the elimination. This made Zach the more successful Heavy Hitter… but it’s still a notable feat I guess.
