Fantasy Cast for The Challenge: Battle of the Seasons 3

The Challenge has had 2 previous "Battle of the Seasons" themes. The first aired in 2002, and the sequel aired in 2012. I think it's time to bring back this iconic season but put a little spin on it. It will be teams of 4 like Battle of the Seasons (2012) but there will be ten teams for a total of 40 competitors like Battle of the Eras.

Are You The One? 3

Team:

• Amanda Garcia

• Hannah Rathbun (ROOKIE)

• Devin Walker (1x Challenge Champ)

• Nelson Thomas

This is arguably the best season of Are You The One? of all time. I would have loved to put Cheyenne Floyd on this, but with all of her success from Teen Mom OG, she doesn't need this show. This team would be interesting, as we have a Challenge Champ and a rookie.

Survivor: Winners at War

Team:

• Natalie Anderson

• Michele Fitzgerald

• Tyson Apostol

• Wendell Holland (ROOKIE)

This team would be hard to beat. I know technically Michele is the only vet, but still. Natalie won an elimination on Double Agents before she had to leave due to medical reasons. Tyson dominated USA 1. Wendell is a competitor. I'd love to see how this team would play.

Survivor 41

Team:

• Shan Smith

• Xander Hastings (ROOKIE)

• Sydney Segal

• Danny McCray (1x Challenge Champ)

Survivor 41 really brought some legends to reality TV. Shan was iconic, and Xander got to the end, but Syndey has been the iconic challenger as of late. Danny McCray also won The Challenge: USA 1 and got 2nd on The Challenge: World Championship.

The Real World: Ex-Plosion / Back to San Francisco

Team:

• Brian Williams Jr. (ROOKIE)

• Cory Wharton

• Jenna Compono

• Ashley Mitchell (2x Challenge Champ)

This is one of the most iconic later seasons of The Real World. Getting 2x Challenge Champ and mainstay (Ashley and Cory) on a season is always iconic. We haven't seen Jenna since Total Madness, which was in 2020, and Brian was a mess on The Real World, which would make a great rookie season.

Love Island USA 5

Team:

• Hannah Wright (ROOKIE)

• Marco Donatelli (ROOKIE)

• Leo Dionicio

• Imani Wheeler (ROOKIE)

Team Love Island USA 5 would be a problem. Imani has shown it on Love Island. Leo has been on 2 seasons of The Challenge now. Hannah and Marco would be interesting because they're engaged.

Big Brother 28

Team:

• Drew Campbell (ROOKIE)

• Melody Morris (ROOKIE)

• Kamu Kirk (ROOKIE)

• Haley Thogmartin (ROOKIE)

We need an all-rookie team, and why not Big Brother 28? I'm actually loving this season, and these 4 would make a great team on The Challenge. It would definitely be Drew and Melody vs Kamu and Haley.

Big Brother 18

Team:

• Da'Vonne Rogers

• Paul Abrahamian (ROOKIE)

• Paulie Calafiore

• Natalie Negrotti

We need the original Big Brother crew back. I subbed out Jozea Flores for Paul, though, because I want to see Paul play The Challenge. This team would be drama, and I'd love to see it.

The Challenge: Fresh Meat II

Team:

• Cara Maria Sorbello (2x Challenge Champ)

• Pete Connolly

• Brandon Nelson

• Laurel Stucky (2x Challenge Champ)

This team has 2 of the best women's competitors of all time. It's too bad they hate each other. Brandon is a good competitor, but we haven't seen Pete since Fresh Meat II. I think this team is going to have so much turmoil they'll take each other out.

Love Island UK 3

Team:

• Gabby Dawn Allen

• Georgia Harrison

• Kem Cetinay (ROOKIE)

• Theo Campbell

We need some UK representation, and why not Love Island UK 3? Georgia and Theo were a huge part of the UK addition to The Challenge. I would pay Georgia whatever she wanted to come back to The Challenge. Kem would be a good rookie addition. Gabby performed well on Double Agents and Love Island Games 2.

The Real World: Portland

Team:

• Jordan Wiseley (5x Challenge Champ)

• Nia Moore

• Avery Tressler

• Marlon Williams

This team would have won on Battle of the Seasons (2012) but they just missed the deadline as they were filming at the same time. Jordan is a 5x Challenge Champ and can probably bring this team pretty far. Marlon is a former D1 football player who is going to dominate anything physical. Nia and Avery have also both made it pretty far on seasons.
