What is Tyler Crispen's job? Big Brother alum set to compete in The Challenge USA season 2

In a few hours, The Challenge USA, which was originally released on July 6, 2022, will release a brand new season. On August 10, 2023, CBS will premiere the show's second season. According to the trailer released back in June, the show's upcoming season will be filled with drama, fun, and fierce competition.

The trailer begins by saying, "This is not "Big Brother!" and shows several cast members struggling with challenges they will face in The Challenge USA season 2. A number of the contestants on this season have also appeared on other shows such as The Challenge, Survivor, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race.

T.J. Lavin, who has hosted The Challenge, Spring Break Challenges, and The Real World/Road Rules Challenge, will return for the show's upcoming season 2. In addition to the show's trophy, the contestants will compete for the grand prize of $250,000.

Before the premiere of The Challenge USA season 2, Lavin shared some details about the show.

“The most competitive and cutthroat game on television is back. ‘The Challenge’ takes being athletic and strategizing, but also ruthless and risky moves, in order to win. Players from ‘Survivor,’ ‘Big Brother’ and ‘The Amazing Race’ all face off in the biggest, craziest and riskiest ‘Challenge,’” he said.

“But what they don’t know is that some of the greatest vets from MTV’s ‘The Challenge’ are also joining the competition. The bar is set higher than ever as the grueling competition pushes them past their physical and mental limits. Those who can’t cut it are going to elimination, where there’s only one rule: You lose, you go home,” Lavin added.

One of The Challenge USA season 2 contestants is 28-year-old Tyler Crispen, who owns a jewelry company called Naut & Chain.
