MTV’sThe Challengeis changing things up this year with another season featuring both new players and veterans, calledThe Challenge: Cutthroat. And for fans ofSurvivor, this might be the perfect show to fill your Wednesday nights untilSurvivor 51premieresat the end of September. Because this season, is all about our challengers working together to earn the prize money as a unit.
And with all 24 challengers being divided into three teams to compete for the prize together, that means we’re guaranteed to see twoSurvivoralum working side-by-side as it’s officially been confirmed that four pastSurvivorplayers will be joining the high-intensity physical franchise, set in Thailand this season.
WhichSurvivorfavorites are joiningThe Challenge 42?
Not only have all fourSurvivorplayers previously competed onThe Challengebefore, but they’ve also made their mark in theSurvivorhistory books in their own rights.
We’re getting past winnersMichele Fitzgerald(Survivor: Kaoh Rong) and Chris Underwood (Survivor: Edge of Extinction) as well as runner-up—and widely debated deserved winner—ofSurvivor 43, Cassidy Clark. We’re also getting the return of Sydney Segal who was infamously the first victim of theHourglass Twistback inSurvivor 41.
While we’ve seen how tough all four players go when it comes toSurvivor, we can expect them to go even harder forThe Challenge: Cutthroatas they eat have something to prove.
Sydney made herThe Challengedebut onVets & New Threatswhere she secured the title of runner-up, but this time she’s back to take home the big win. And similarly, onThe Challenge USA 2, Cassidy saved herself from elimination four times before just missing out on the final. Both have big drives to make it to the end.
As for our only two-timeSurvivorplayer entering the game, Michele is also a five-timeThe Challengecompetitor, going into her sixth season of the show. Her best placement came in season 40—the latest season she’s competed on—when she placed 3rd (ironically the same placement she got onSurvivor’s40th season). Will the sixth time be the charm as Michele climbs theThe Challengeranks?
And with both his claiming of the title of Sole Survivor back onSurvivor: Edge of Extinctionas well as his win inThe Challenge: USA 2, Chris is undefeated when it comes to his appearances on reality competition shows. Will his reign continue? Or is this the season where he finally meets an elimination he can’t come back from?
You can streamThe Challenge: Cutthroatand cheer on your favorite Survivors starting Wednesday, August 5th on Paramount+. New episodes will release every Wednesday at 12 a.m. PT / 3 a.m. ET.
