The Challenge Historian

Rivals OG Edition Fantasy Cast


Listen Later

Rivals is the greatest theme in Challenge history (or in any reality competition shows history for that matter). It's a perfect blend of everything that makes The Challenge and Reality TV great, and it gave us five exceptional seasons (Vendettas and Final Reckoning count y'all).

But what if they would have pulled this epic theme out a little bit earlier in the timeline? What if some of the messiest OGs got a chance to partner up with their worst enemy? Would it have worked to do this theme earlier in the run of the show? Let's find out!

On this episode I am fantasy casting an OG edition of a Rivals season, eight female teams and eight male teams, then thinking through what the likely outcome of said season would be. Listen to the whole thing or end up my personal rival on a future fantasy cast.
