Season 39 of MTV’s massive competition series, The Challenge, is quickly approaching. Now that the next season is under production, some fresh information has finally surfaced. The Challenge: Ride or Die had a lot of negative press, but The Challenge Season 39 offers a fresh perspective that could be a pleasant shift.
After participating in the show for numerous seasons, Tori Deal and Devin Walker won their first races on Ride or Die. Although the season featured an intriguing dynamic, people didn’t connect with it as a whole. Fans have often complained on social media about the show’s heavy reliance on the same old champions and veterans.
But Season 39 of The Challenge might demonstrate that MTV pays attention to what its viewers have to say. “Redemption” is the theme for Season 39 of The Challenge. The real idea is a little different, despite prior rumors that the upcoming season would have a “New Blood” theme.
As part of the redemption concept, contestants who have previously appeared in the competition, although briefly and unsuccessfully, will make up the cast. The word “redemption” perhaps alludes to a second opportunity granted to these rivals who believe they still have something to prove.
Though not original to the franchise, it’s an intriguing idea. This new season has a different kind of vet than previous seasons, which served as redemption seasons for returning veterans. A lot of the cast members of The Challenge Season 39 experienced difficult seasons in the past, which might have ignited a fire under them and made them want to come back.
More About The Show
A new group of competitors is eager to win and get the right to rule as the 39th season approaches. This time around, they must cooperate to share the prize money, but the competition is still between the best as they try to surpass the best.
The cast is said to have left for production at the beginning of June; therefore, the upcoming season is presently in progress. Host TJ Lavin is back as usual to oversee the competition and, perhaps, provide the contestants with a few shocks and twists. Croatia is the location of The Challenge Season 39 filming so fans won’t be seeing a completely different scene.
Additionally, Spies, Lies, and Allies were situated in Croatia, which offered some incredibly breathtaking scenery. Along with stunning blue waters along the coast, the nation boasts a wide variety of landscapes. This makes it possible for a wider range of everyday challenges, some of which involve the use of water.
Most of the cast from previous seasons, many of whom are fresh off of Ride or Die, return for the forthcoming season. Notably, Olivia Kaiser decided to come back despite suffering severe injuries in the Ride or Die championship match. After everything she experienced on Ride or Die, it’s astonishing that she still wanted to return, and it shows what a fierce competitor she is.
While the majority of the cast members competing in The Challenge Season 39 have only appeared in one or a few seasons, a few returning pros who have participated in multiple seasons in the past are also making an appearance. Tula “Big T” Fazakerley has appeared in four seasons before, but her performance was never particularly strong. This may be the reason she feels the need to return and establish her credibility.
