The Challenge rotates returning players and rookies for each season. Depending on the theme, viewers might not see a favorite for a few seasons. Here are five recent competitors who should return for next season.
Olivia Kaiser and Horacio Gutiérrez
The rookie standouts landed in back-to-back eliminations almost immediately after entering the competition and won both. They earned the respect of the house and avoided the Zone until episode 8 when her fling Nelson Thomas opted to save his rival Fessy Shafaat over her.
Regardless, with the help of the house, they sent home targets Jay Starrett and Michele Fitzgerald. When they split into teams, Horacio found himself in the Zone twice, and he eliminated Kenny Clark and three-time champ Jordan Wiseley, tying a franchise record for most elimination wins in a season.

Kenny Clark says she and Kaycee got into network marketing

If you’ve seen a hobbyist board game collection in the last four or five years, chance’s are that you’ll have seen at least one copy of Memoir ’44. This Days of Wonder game is a beautifully produced collection of plastic and cardboard that uses the well-trodden Command & Colours system created by the late Richard Borg. We’ve already reviewed the Command & Colours: Napoleonics game from GMT Games, and whilst the Napoleonic Wars are some of the most interesting for me personally, there’s no denying that Memoir ’44‘s exceptional production makes it a mouthwatering prospect.
Because Memoir ’44 has been out for quite a few years now, we thought that it might be useful to spice things up a bit with the most recent expansion, which is actually a remake of an older one. So, for at least half the plays we’ve undertaken whilst producing this review, we...
