The Challenge: All Stars Rivals premiered on January 29, introducing the cast and their pairs. Among them were Sylvia and Kelly Ann from All Stars season 3, known for their ongoing rivalry. Throughout season 3, they clashed multiple times, sabotaging each other, playing game politics, and nearly driving each other to elimination.
It was clear that they despised each others' gaming skills, and had no trust when it came to playing together. So when they were paired together on The Challenge: All Stars Rivals, fans of the show took to X and showed skepticism about them squashing their long-standing rivalry to work as a team.
"Sylvia & Kelly Anne... I love a good, REAL female rivalry!" a fan said.

"Sylvia & KA Is a legit rival pairing too. They actually hate each other & you can see it in the way they interact. I love 2 dramatic girlies being forced into a pairing," said another fan.
"Kelly Anne & Sylvia are really the only pairing who GENUINELY hates each other. You can’t convince me that Nany & Turbo still don’t have a little bit of love for each other," commented one.
Some fans of The Challenge: All Stars pointed out Sylvia and Kelly Ann's reactions to discovering that they were paired together.
"The Kellyanne and Sylvia argument omg," an X user wrote.
"I know Sylvia pissed that Kelly Anne her partner skskskskskskskskssksk," wrote another.
"Sylvia and Kelly Anne’s rivalry is lowkey the one that has the least to be based on, but yet it seems like they somehow still have the most beef," added a third.
"Nicole and Melissa is such a stretch. It's only a thing since Cara/Laurel just dud 40, and they paired Sylvia with KellyAnne. This is a blessing for Melissa, since she could have been paired with Melissa or Asaf," another wrote.
