Fitness trainer Darrell is no stranger to The Challenge, or winning for that matter. He recently won the San Francisco Golden Glove competition in the light-heavyweight category, so he’s got plenty of victories to talk about on the show.
OG fans will remember his controversial kiss with Rachel on The Gauntlet, so we’ll be hoping for some insight into that.
In the trailer, he revealed that he once “set a house on fire,” which nobody knows about. Until now.

Devin has been a finalist on Rivals III, Spies, and Lies & Allies and has also starred in the dating show, Are You The One. The ‘normal guy’ was seen as an ‘underdog,’ which made the win “so much better” for him.

Jonny is a The Challenge legend with a hugely impressive seven title wins under his belt. He then turned into reality TV royalty, starring in E! ‘s new show, House of Villains, as well as The Traitors.
His most controversial moment on the show was when he stole the prize money from Sarah Rice in Rivals III, so we’re sure (and hoping) to get some insight into what was going on in his mind on the new series.
