In season 1, the contestants were alumni of shows such as Survivor, Big Brother, The Amazing Race, and Love Island.

TJ Lavin will return to host season 2 of The Challenge USA, and he shared the following before the show’s release:

“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.’”

In addition, he mentioned:

“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.”

One of the contestants in the upcoming season of The Challenge USA is Chanelle Howell. She previously appeared on Survivor season 42.
