The Challenge War of the Worlds 2: Player Stats

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 2. For this list, I can only really look at the returners with prior Challenge experience. While some of the newcomers have competed on competitive shows, others have no history in competition shows. Plus, all of their shows aired in the UK and I don’t have access to all of their shows.

Due to changes in The Challenge, this list will look like the War of the Worlds 1 list. 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:

1. Eliminations are counted as appearances in an elimination arena (The Jungle, The Gauntlet, The Dome, The Presidio, etc.).
2. Elimination wins and losses from Battle of the Bloodlines only count if the competitor was actually competing in The Pit.
3. 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.
4. Champs vs. Pros and Champs vs. Stars will be noted separately, but not counted as a formal appearance
5. Bolded appearances in the finals indicate a win

The Newbies

Esther Falana

Original Season: BKCHAT LDN (YouTube Series) (2016)

What We Know: She’s apparently loud and outspoken. She has a daughter, so that may be a motivating factor for her. Other than these things, she’s a wild card. She doesn’t have a lot of connections to other cast members to my knowledge and she’s not part of a traditional reality TV circuit.

Idris Virgo

Original Season: Love Island UK 4 (2018)

What We Know: Idris is jacked. He comes from the same show as Georgia and Theo, but a different season. This may make him familiar with a couple of other Brits entering the season. His size and strength will be his major intimidation factor.

Jenny West

Original Season: Survival of the Fittest (2018)

What We Know: Jenny is really fit (hence why she was on Survival of the Fittest). She will be a major physical threat in the game. She’s also supposed to be emotional, which could hurt. But, she doesn’t seem to have many connections coming into the show.

Nicole Bass

Original Season: Ex on the Beach UK 6 (2017)

What We Know: She’s best friends with Georgia and was on the same season of Ex on the Beach as Zahida. She might have allies coming into the show, so she could be in a position to advance in the game.

Sean Lineker 

Original Season: Shipwrecked: Battle of the Islands 2019

What We Know: Apparently he doesn’t click with people right away, but he is into fitness and has a military upbringing. He comes from the same show as Big T, so he does have knowledge of someone coming onto the show. He’s also the sole LGBT representation this season.

Tula “Big T” Fazakerley

Original Season: Shipwrecked: Battle of the Islands 2019

What We Know: She’s another one who is known to fight. She was born in Malawi and has grown up in London. Maybe her relationship with Sean will help, or maybe she’s just used to fighting her way through tough times.
