The MVP of The Challenge Australia is here! Conor Curran sits down with this Historian to talk all things Challenge Australia: how he ended up on the show, expectations going in vs the reality of a Challenge house, what the food was like, how he came to not just join but take over the majority alliance and decimate the competition, what that final was like, his drive to represent his community in the best way possible, witnessing Challenge history, and so much more!

It was a true pleasure to get to speak with Conor. He's an absolute gem of a human being, and is just as fun and entertaining in talking about his Challenge experience as he was in living it out on the tv screen for all us fans. Be sure to follow him across all platforms (links below) and be prepared to drool a lot once you do as he is dishing up new delicious looking drinks and dishes daily!
