The Challenge 42 is rumored to start filming in February, and fans have been looking for hints online. This has directed attention to Kam, who’s displayed some physical changes on her Instagram.
We know Kam and Leroy have two kids, and pregnancy is expected to put some physical demands on the body. This is totally normal, and for a while, Kam’s priority wasn’t training for The Challenge. More recently, she has been hitting the gym, and this followed Leroy’s announcement that he’s planning on taking a break for season 42.
Putting the pieces together, some people reached the conclusion that Leroy might stay home with the kids and Kam would compete on the show. But, that doesn’t seem to be the case.
Kam is definitely working out, but she also shared her GLP-1 journey for weight loss (well, it’s an ad, so she kind of has to share it). These two factors explain the physical changes, but Kam also discussed a mental shift in an Instagram video.
In the clip, she said that motherhood has changed her a lot. At first, she didn’t want things to be different, and she hoped to continue competing on The Challenge. But after the second kids, the changes became unavoidable.
Kam said she’s not ready to make a return yet, and she had to mourn the younger version of herself that had the freedom to do as many seasons as she wanted. Now, her kids are her priority, and she doesn’t want to be away from them for a long time.
That’s because Kam is playing to win when she does the show. If she’s there, she intends to go all the way, and filming a Challenge season can take up to three months (though All Stars has a shorter filming window, and season 42 is rumored to be shorter as well).
This doesn’t rule out a future return, but Kam isn’t going to show up just to show face.
Kam also remains involved with Challenge events, and she recently made a playful video about dodging questions about her Challenge return. In the Reel, she linked up with Challenge and Challenge USA alum Kyland, Ameera, Chanelle, Tiffany, Xavier, and Michaela. And for now, this is where we’ll have to watch Kam… unless these recent videos are just one big bluff.
