The Challenge

get along into a world TV show likeThe Challenge , where so many of the competitors have competed before and have a go at it each other well , can be exceedingly restrain for a rookie . And unsurprisingly , many first - timers that are eliminated early in the plot never really succeed on the show , and sometimes they do n’t even make another show .

It ’s a bit of a custom for vets onThe Challengeto butt the rookies and post them home first . However , some competition who were sent home highly ahead of time in their debut season actually have gone on to become sports fan favorites and champions of the series .

Michaela Bradshaw

There are a few contestants from other reality shows thatChallengefans were hop might show up on the MTV series , andSurvivoralum Michaela Bradshaw was one of them ( especially after Jay Starrett , her ally - turned - competitor onMillennials Vs . Gen X , made his unveiling onThe Challenge ) .

And although Spies , Lies , and Alliesfinally made that dream come true , it was ostensibly all for naught , as Michaela was the first girl out on this season . finger’s breadth are crossbreed that she will come back for another snapshot though , ideally on a time of year with Jay or some otherSurvivorplayers .

Cheyenne Floyd

It ’s easy to block considering how far they actually wound up make it , but the pernicious duo of Devin Walker and Cheyenne Floyd were actually the first team out on their unveiling season ofRivals III . They were ultimately brought back because other squad quit or were disqualified though , and after they hark back they wound up making it to the last .

It does n’t seem likeThe Challengewas really Cheyenne ’s type of series , however , she wound up becoming one of the stars ofTeen Mom OGafter her appearances onThe ChallengeandAre You The One .

Rogan O’Connor

Oddly , sometimes being the first player out on a first appearance time of year ofThe Challengeseems like it can be a bit of a unspoilt fortune magic spell , as many objector who are wipe out first steer up going very far in their next time of year . Such is the case with Rogan O’Connor , who wound up being eliminated before the game even start up onVendettasand then wind up make headway his subsequent season , state of war of the Worlds 2 .

While some fans love him and others love to detest him , Rogan is undeniably a intemperate - hitter who flopped ( literally and figuratively ) in his first season .

Tyler Duckworth

The intact form ofThe Real domain : Key Westdid not have an easy prison term onThe Duel . Three out of four of them were eliminated first in the season ( Svetlana being the notable elision ) , and while Tyler supervise to win his excreting against Bananas , he was immediately kill by Derrick .

Despite experience a more than mediocre introduction into the world ofThe Challenge , Tyler returned and ultimately became one of the strongest competition of his era , winning two finals during hisChallengecareer .

Natalie Anderson

In the contemporary earned run average of the realness TV contest , The Challengedraws its contender from a litany of different shows . But there are few newbie challengers that are more intimidating to the rest of the cast thanSurvivorplayers , and it ’s easy to see why . Not only isSurvivora great preparation , but people who have competed on that serial publication are typically tough , intelligent , and can endure almost anything .

Natalie Anderson test that she would n’t back down in her first season onThe Challenge , but she was DQ’d early on on for aesculapian understanding .

Paula Meronek

Like the rest of herKey Westcastmates , Paula did not have an easy go of things in her first time of year ofThe Challenge . And when she went up against Aneesa inthe   grueling Pole Wrestle liquidation , she unsurprisingly lose .

That certainly did n’t diminish Paula ’s fighting liveliness forThe Challengethough , as she pass on to come out in 10 seasons of the series in amount . But , it took her quite a while to snag her win , as her first profits inRivalswas actually her eighth season .

Evelyn Smith

Even though the competitory atmosphere ofThe Challengehas only gotten more acute over the years , Evelyn Smith is one of the rare competitor who would still dash the daylight out of everyone today . She ’s indisputably one of the greatest women to ever play the secret plan , which is why her riddance in the first Exile ofFresh Meatis even more astonishing .

Yes , The Real World : Austinwere the first targets in the secret plan , and yes , her partner Danny was n’t a in particular skilled player , but considering Ev’sChallengeresume , it ’s still a shock that she was eliminated so early .

Devin Walker

Devin might not be the dominantChallengeplayer that some of these other other boot are , but he consistently transcend arithmetic mean in terms of his competition operation , and more significantly , he went from a first - outer toone of the fan - favorite stars ofThe Challenge .

Along with his pardner Chey , he lost the first evacuation onRivals III . But they were both work back and made it all the agency to the last , and Devin has been making his mark onThe Challengewith his outspoken mental attitude and sense of witticism ever since .

Cara Maria Sorbello

Cara Maria Sorbello is arguably the female face ofThe Challenge , so it ’s astounding to recall that she was the first out onFresh Meat II.And , she manage to lose an excreting despite the fact thatChallengeGOAT Darrell Taylor was her married person .

But Cara has more than redeemed herself in the intervening years . Although her reputation as a fair musician did n’t drop dead nearly as soon as it should have , she is now undeniably consider to be one of the best thespian in the history of the serial publication .

Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio

Plenty ofChallengeplayers have won more than oneChallenge , butJohnny Bananas is the fetching success of them all . Which is why his intro into theChallengeworld is so cockeyed in retrospect . The Duelwas his first time of year , and when hisKey Westroommate Tyler find himself in elimination , he bafflingly chose Bananas as the actor he wanted to go against .

They competed in " I Can , " a flop of an elimination data format where one histrion claim that they can nobble a certain amount of something , and the other player either has to " play " higher or call their four flush . Johnny ostensibly vastly underestimated Tyler ’s strength and was eliminated , but obviously go bad on to have an illustriousChallengecareer that shows no signs of stop .
