Olivia Kaiser's entry into the show, The Challenge season 39, is going to be interesting, especially after her last appearance on Ride or Dies. Due to an injury, she failed to win the title even though she made it to the finale.
During an interview with Variety back then, she shared the following:
“I was like, if I’m actually getting brain swelling, I could die. This is not a joke. People die all the time from getting hit in the head from trauma. I really, in some crazy way, got lucky that it just hit me directly in between the eyes. Obviously, I still have good aim if I freaking got a bull’s eye.”
There were also rumors that Johnny Middlebrooks might join The Challenge season 39, but he won't, according to reports. Additionally, Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio has been in talks, especially after his recent interview with TV Insider. He shared the following:
“Yeah, I feel like I took a nice little break. I feel like I gave my mind and body some time to adjust and to get rejuvenated. I feel like the fire has been lit again inside of me, and yeah, I’m looking forward to seeing what the next installment is. If my schedule and the timing works out properly, then yeah, I’ll be there, will bells on.”
Bananas had previously appeared in a number of reality shows, including The Real World: Key West, The Island, The Ruins, Rivals, Battle of the Exes, Free Agents, Rivals III, Champs vs. Stars 1, and Total Madness.
The Challenge: Ride or Dies season 38 featured a series of competitions that challenged the players to demonstrate their skills.
A total of 21 episodes were filmed in Buenos Aires during this season. 34 contestants participated in this competition.
In addition to the $1 million prize money, these competitors competed for the seaosn 38 trophy. The competition series was won by Devin Walker-Molaghan and Tori Deal at the end of the season.
