Challenge fans have seen many of their favorites return to their screens in recent years thanks to the All Stars spinoff, but one of the most-requested names that’s evaded the show is Jenn Grijalva.
The Real World: Denver alumna appeared in an interview with Mark Long — which can be seen on his Patreon, “The Mark Long Show.” During the discussion, Mark asked Jenn if she’d return to the show.
Her answer: YES! But, with a caveat.
The filming dates would have to align with her schedule and make it possible. Jenn’s a mother of three kids now, and she needs to balance her personal and professional life before doing any type of Challenge.
According to Jenn, she’s always wanted to do All Stars, but it hasn’t aligned yet. This is encouraging for fans that want to see her return. It was once believed that she was done with the show after Rivals. This may have just been a rumor, or maybe Jenn had a change of heart.
Jenn’s interest is also encouraging because it shows an investment in All Stars. It’s unclear if we’ll see All Stars 6, but Mark is still putting in effort.
It also shows promise for the future of the series because it indicates that the show hasn’t exhausted all of the willing competitors. There are still many Challenge alumni who haven’t appeared on All Stars, but Jenn was a huge personality on The Challenge in the late 2000s-early 2010s.
Only time will tell if Jenn returns to our screens, but she could be an interesting addition to the show. She’s very athletic now — more so than she was during her Challenge days — so she could pull out her all-time best performance if she makes a comeback.
