Season 37 ofThe Challengeisn’t playing patty-cake.
And, yes,last season’s winner,C.T. Tamburello, is back to defend his title.
“Set in the picturesque Mediterranean coast of Croatia, elite U.S. Agents join forces with an assortment of International Operatives, all armed with killer competitive instincts,” a description from the network reads. “With the assignment constantly evolving, these agents will be tested both mentally and physically to win their share of $1 million in this epic new chapter ofThe Challengespy games.”
“This is a dirty game, bro,” shouts Cory Wharton in the trailer. “Do you think we’re down there playing patty-cake?”
“The worst thing that could happen is I could die,” Nelson Thomas says in the clip, as people fall from ledges, fight in the mud and look tough yet defeated.
And “the twists keep coming,” promises host TJ Lavin. Moments later, Tamburello’s winning season 36 partner,Big Brotheralum Amber Borzotra, steps out of a car. (How she’ll join the cast remains a mystery… or, presumably, a twist.)
Of course, it wouldn’t be a season ofThe Challengewithout a few hookups, and the trailer teases one of the season’s most buzzy:Nany Gonzalezand Kaycee Clark are seen getting cozy in a blink-and-you-miss-it moment.
For the upcoming season, returning favorites such asTori Deal,Aneesa Ferreira,Tula “Big T” Fazakerleyand Ashley Mitchell will face off against newcomers from other popular franchises includingLove Island USA,Too Hot to Handle,Survivor,Big BrotherandDancing with the Stars.
