The Challenge USA Season 2 Cast Photos: The Challenge: USA returns for a second summer of incredible endurance challenges and vicious hall brawls, but this time the CBS rookies must compete against some of the franchise’s all-time greatest competitors.
Season 2 (which premieres Thursday, August 10 at 10/9c and continues Sunday, August 13 at 9/8c; see the video embedded above) will pit six of MTV’s all-time stars against some of the most recognisable faces from Survivor, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race in a battle of strength and talent. MTV powerhouses include former champions Jonna Mannion Stephens and Wes Bergmann, as well as Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio, the player with the most Challenge franchise victories ever.
Survivor Cassidy Clark, BB20 runner-up Tyler Crispen, The Amazing Race’s Dusty Harris, and a few others who competed in CBS’ initial Challenge edition will get their first at-bats. Survivor Michaela Bradshaw, Desi Williams, and Tiffany Mitchell from Big Brother 23 are among the returning USA competitors.
Season 2 will again be hosted by T.J. Lavin and will take place in Croatia. For the first three weeks, the programme will broadcast on Thursdays and Sundays. On Thursday, August 31, it will return to its regular 10 p.m. and 9 p.m. time slot.
