Currently, in its 34th season, MTV’s The Challenge went from allowing only former Real World and Road Rules contestants to compete to opening it up to stars of other shows, including Ex on the Beach and Are You the One?

In 2018, the series began inviting popular reality television United Kingdom stars, and next season they will add memorable Big Brother and Amazing Race competitors as the only rookies.

Fans of both reality television series have been asking to see their favorite Houseguests or racers on The Challenge because the competitions are harder and more intense on the MTV series.

DISCLAIMER: MTV has not confirmed any of these contestants, and they are subject to change at any time. The list was compiled by observing social media activity.
