The network hasn’t confirmed the cast list yet, and some competitors are alternates who will compete if someone else isn’t available. Therefore, the cast might change at any point.

Five rumored players, including Christmas Abbott, reported as cut from ‘The Challenge: CBS’

A couple of days after The Challenge spoiler account revealed the list; it reported five potential contestants were already axed from the final list.

They include Christmas Abbott (Big Brother 19, 22) and Love Island 3 stars Josh Goldstein, Shannon St. Claire, Olivia Kaiser, and Korey Gandy.

It isn’t clear why they didn’t make the cut. Christmas seemed like a shoo-in for the show as the first female pit crew member in NASCAR Sprint Cup and still physically active.

However, her having an OnlyFans account might have proved an issue, as BB23’s Whitney Williams claimed she was told the affiliation “prevented” her from competing on another CBS series.

Josh Goldstein and Shannon St. Claire are fan-favorites from ‘Love Island’

On Day 1, Josh and Shannon partnered up and remained together throughout their duration on the show.

Even though he felt she exhibited signs of jealousy, which Josh noted he didn’t like, the two worked it out, and he asked her to become his girlfriend.

Seemingly on their way to winning the competition, Josh and Shannon decided to walk away from the show together on Day 31 due to the unexpected death of his sister.

Eventual winners Olivia and Korey had a different story, only coupling up a week before the finale as she realized her feelings for him shortly following Casa Amor. While Shannon and Josh are still together, the winners split up a few months after their win. The Challenge: CBS will debut on Paramount+.
