Fantasy Cast for The Challenge: Rivals 4

The Challenge just brought Cutthroat back, and it needs to bring back some other iconic themes. We saw Rivals on the 5th season of All-Stars but we haven't seen it on a flagship season in a while. It's time for it to return, and let's make it male/male and female/female teams just like Rivals I and Rivals II.

Tori Deal & Ashley Mitchell

Ashley and Tori's rivalry started after Spies, Lies, & Allies. Ashley was disqualified from that season for the words she used against Josh Martinez, and Tori has since made it very clear that she thinks Ashley Mitchell should never get a chance to return to the show.

Olivia Kaiser & Michaela Bradshaw

These 2 absolutely hated each other on Vets & New Threats. I interviewed both of them on my podcast, Chillin with Dylan, and they talked about this rivalry. I would love to see how they would have to work together.

Nurys Mateo & Sydney Segal

These two got into it on Cutthroat (2026) and it was a must-see TV. They both didn't last long on the show. Nurys was eliminated, and Sydney had to be medically disqualified, but I'd love to see them both return as partners.

Anna Leigh Wilson & "Lete" Alexis Lete

As first, I wasn't a fan of either one of these two, and to be honest, I'm still undecided, but they are messy. They are great for this show, and I would love to see them come back on another season. To be honest, I think Lete could be a future Challenge Champ. Anna-Leigh, I'm not so sure about it.

Amber Borzotra & Kaycee Clark

This was a real one-sided rivalry in my opinion. Kaycee was jealous that Amber won The Challenge first and did better than her. I think Amber viewed Kaycee as a friend, but Kaycee never viewed Amber as one.

Savannah Palacio & Terilisha

The fact that we haven't seen Savannah and Terilisha on The Challenge yet but we've seen Ed Eason from The Circle is so crazy to me. I'd love to see this rivalry play out. I know it's been a while since The Circle 2 but this rivalry was so iconic.

Michele Fitzgerald & Amanda Garcia

These two started out as friends, and then Faysal Shafaat got in the middle. Amanda absolutely hates Michele now, and I feel like the feelings are mutual. I'd love to see how these two would play the game together.

Laurel Stucky & Cara Maria Sorbello

These two were partners on the original Rivals back in 2011. They got 2nd place behind Evelyn Smith & Paula Beckert. They became friends and even lived together in Montana for a while but they are back to being rivals. I think it's time to put them back on a season together.

Josh Martinez & Wes Bergmann

These two absolutely hated each other on War of the Worlds, War of the Worlds II, and Total Madness. Wes has made it clear he doesn't view Josh as a rival, but I'd still love to see them play together.

Kyle Christie & Paulie Calafiore

These two absolutely hated each other. They got into multiple times on Final Reckoning, War of the Worlds, and War of the Worlds II. It was all over Cara Maria Sorbello, who is also on this season, so I'd love to see how this would play out.

Chris "CT" Tamburello & Justin Hinsley

These two might be me reaching, but I'd still love to see how this would go. Justin is one of the newer challengers who debuted after 40. He has been calling CT out all season, saying that he is the worst link on the team. This could be a dark horse team to make the final and win.

Frank Sweeney Fox & Shane Landrum

These two did not get along on All-Stars: Rivals and it's honestly not surprising. Frank and Shane would most likely make the final. Not sure if they'd win with some of the other teams but they would probably make the final.

Kamu Kirk & Jason De Puy

Another example of two people that just didn't get along on their original season. Jason and Kamu hated each on Big Brother 28 and are still hating each other outside of the show. They have been doing interviews and talking about each other. I think it's time we put these two together.

Theo Campbell & Faysal Shafaat

Theo and Faysal have never been on a season together, but they did have some issues on social media. On Rivals II, Bananas and Frank had the same rivalry, and it made for an iconic pair. These two would be a threat to win.

Jordan Wiseley & Turbo Camkiran

If The Challenge never puts these two together it will be the biggest mistake they've ever made. We need to see Jordan and Turbo play a season as pairs.
