Challenges included both creative tasks like “Prove Existence of Ghosts” and “Record a Song” as well as more s...

After a stint with The Real World alum Eric Nies as co-host, the show started using out...
Season 4 marked the first and only time a mission got scrapped because it proved too dangerous. The "human catapult" was shut down after one tester broke their leg and another broke an arm.
Prizes in season 2 amounted to a few thousand dollars per contestant, which was a tiny sum considering how much money contestants could earn just a few years later. Johnny Devenanzio, a.k.a.

- Chris "CT" Tamburello. This five-time champion may not have the most wins (he's two behind Johnny Bananas), but you can't deny that CT is the ultimate Challenge GOAT.
- Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio. If we're talking wins, Bananas is the champ. But this ranking isn't just about wins, which is why he's the close second. The seven-time champion — the most of any Challenger — is an undeniable threat every time he shows up on a season.
- Jordan Wiseley. If Jordan is on a season, he's one of the biggest threats in the house. It's that simple. His endurance is ridiculous, but what makes him a great competitor is his strategy and his ability to look at a challenge and come up with something no one else thinks of.
- Landon Lueck. Landon was only on four seasons, but it's hard to argue with someone who made three out of four finals and turned in one of the most impressive final performances ever, literally pushing his partner up the side of a mountain.

The Challenge casts are season-specific as the cast varies from season to season. The casts are made up of contestants originating from one of The Challenge's related TV programs and, in a few seasons, previously unknown contestants. The cast usually contains both "veterans" (or vets) and "rookies".
