10 Rookies That Should Debut on The Challenge

The Challenge is currently in the casting process for its 42nd season. We are seeing some rookies being announced that I think will be great for the show. There are some more that need to be on the show, though.

Rob Rausch

Original Show - Love Island USA 6

Other Shows:

• The Traitors 4

Rob was a main character on Love Island USA 6 and is now a main character on The Traitors 4. If The Challenge was smart, they'd reach out to him because he would be perfect for this show. The issue is that his appearance fee would probably be high.

Taylor Hale

Original Show - Big Brother 24 (Winner)

Other Shows:

• Big Brother: Reindeer Games
• The Amazing Race 38

Taylor has been very public about not wanting to go on The Challenge and then she changed her mind and said it was a possibility. I think she'd be pretty good at it especially considering she won Big Brother.

Bobby Lytes

Original Show - Love & Hip Hop Miami

Original Shows:

• House of Villains 1

Bobby is a mess, and that's great TV. I don't know how he'll do on The Challenge, but he would go off on someone, and that would make great TV. I could see him winning some dailies and some eliminations, though.

Olivia Flowers

Original Show - Southern Charm

I know MTV is trying to get more Bravo talent, but the issue is Bravo talent is expensive. Olivia was only on 2 seasons of Southern Charm, so she might have a cheaper appearance fee. Olivia also knows how to bring drama and is athletic, so she'd be a great addition for this show.

Marcus Johnson

Original Show - Vanderpump Rules

Marcus is a part of the Vanderpump Rules reboot (season 12), and to be honest, I really don't like him. He's giving Adam Royer vibes from The Real World: Back to Las Vegas. With that being said, Adam was must-see TV, and I think Marcus would be as well in a competition show.

CeeJai' Jenkins

Original Show - The Real World: Go Big or Go Home / Las Vegas III

The Challenge created its success off of MTV talent and The Real World and Road Rules. This would be another example of that. CeeJai would be perfect for The Challenge. I think she could become a mainstay like Nany Gonzalez.

Peter Park

Original Show - FBOY Island 1

Other Shows:

• FBOY Island 2 (Winner)

Peter was on FBOY Island, which was a show on HBO Max. It only had 2 seasons, but I enjoyed watching it. Peter does not back down from drama and will compete in challenges. I'd love to see how he would do.

Savannah Louie

Original Show - Survivor 49 (Winner)

Savannah won Survivor 49 and really dominated the game. I thought Dee Valladares would be a great addition to The Challenge, and she was okay on Vets and New Threats, but maybe Savannah can become that Challenge/Survivor icon.

Dylan Efron

Original Show - The Traitors 3 (Winner)

Other Shows:

• Down to Earth w/ Zac Efron
• Dancing with the Stars 34

Dylan dominated the 3rd season of The Traitors. He was on top of every move and knew how to win. He has since been on Dancing with the Stars. I think he'd kill it on The Challenge, but I don't know if he would do it.

Kelley Wentworth

Original Show - Survivor: San Juan Del Sur

Other Shows:

• Survivor: Cambodia
• Survivor: Edge of Extinction

I am so surprised Kelley has not been on The Challenge yet. She is the prototypical person to become a Challenge Champion. I'm also surprised she's not on Survivor 50: In the Hands of the Fans but maybe that means she doesn't want to do any reality TV again.
