There have been many players throughout the show ’s many season who scored a triumph that no one prefigure or gestate . But which male contestants pull off to emerge as the final challenge protagonist when it seemed like the odds were against them ?

Landon Lueck - Fresh Meat 2

consecrate Landon ’s chronicle as arguably one of the greatestChallengecompetitors of all time , it should n’t be that shocking when he wins another season of the serial .

However , Fresh Meat 2was an aberrancy for Landon . first of all , he take to join an alliance for the first time , but chose the wrong side , as his ally were dead decimate in the game . But also , Kenny and Laurel had one of the most dominant seasons ever , and everyone blend in into the final await them to win .

Turabi “Turbo” Çamkıran - War of the Worlds

AfterWar of the Worlds , mostChallengefans would classify Turbo as someone who can likely compete with the good playersin the secret plan ’s history .

But he was a rookie when he beganWar of the Worlds , and with such a stacked cast of fantastic contender , no one really expected a newbie to win the entire affair . Plus , the net for this special season was arguably the most difficult of all time , making Turbo ’s win even more shocking and impressive .

Frank Sweeney & Zach Nichols - Battle of the Seasons

Theoretically , it should n’t be even remotely surprising that Zach and Frank wound up winning their debut season inThe Challenge , Battle of the Seasons . They were undeniably two of the strongest competitors of the season , and they ’re arguably two of the good players from their earned run average .

However , Team San Diego as a whole was a red-hot mess . They were constantly fight with one another , and they could n’t even pull it together and perform as a cohesive whole in the final .

Frank Roessler - Gauntlet 3

It ’s a boundary line miracle that the intact Rookie squad pulled out a victory inGauntlet 3(and were it not for Big Easy ’s disqualification , they almost certainly would n’t have ) . They get ahead less than 1/3 of the total challenges over the season , and the Veterans were one of the most predominant   team in the history of the show .

But , Frank ’s win is double telling simply because he was put into riddance more than any other manly musician but still made it to the conclusion .

Dunbar Merrill - Cutthroat

Dunbar was an interestingChallengeplayer who never seemed to have luck on his side , with the exception of hisCutthroatseason .

Dunbar never quite live up to his potential as a competitor , but historically , he had a riding habit of realize it middling far into each of his seasons and then getting annihilate short before the final . However , inCutthroathe and his alignment hold in stiff , and the red squad wound up scoring the win .

Rogan O’Connor - War of the Worlds 2

After Rogan ’s ignominious origination intoThe Challengewhere he was disqualify without even completing the first challenge , it was somewhat surprising that he even got another invite to the serial publication .

But he did add up back , and he weave up on Team UK forWar of the Worlds 2 , which just so happens to be a team that absolutely master the art of losing . Rogan had a lot of drama with Deeand he did everything he could to parry excretion . Surprisingly , Team UK wound up commit out an upset and winning the time of year .

Jamie Banks - Battle of the Bloodlines

With a partner like Cara Maria , it does n’t seem like Jamie ’s profits inBattle of the Bloodlinesshould add up as much of a electric shock . However , this season was actually Cara ’s very first win .

After a seven - time of year losing bar with zero gold medals , it seemed good to assume that Cara would n’t get ahead again , especially since there were some very strong squad like Bananas and his full cousin or Abram and his pal . But , Jamie wound up winning his rookie season alongside his first cousin Cara Maria .

Tyler Duckworth - Rivals

Although Johnny Bananas and Tyler competed as a squad onRivals , their winnings came as such a surprisal that they ’re worthy of their own entranceway .

There are a raft of elements that made their triumph in the firstRivalsseason a daze , but one major reason is that Tyler in reality had food poisoning during the final . Before the final even started it was unclear if he was going to be medically indispose , and despite the fact that the medical officer recommended that he not contend , Tyler chose to run it anyway .

Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio - Rivals

It was completely unexpected forBananas to win inRivalsfirstly because he had to spend two days running , row , and hike up a heap with a partner who was violently ill .

But secondly , because Kenny and Wes were dominating the final on the first daytime , however , Johnny and Tyler ’s squad was facilitate immensely when day two ’s start cut down their considerable lead to only a few minutes . Given that Kenny and Wes finish mere moments after Johnny and Tyler , that demolished lead is what pass them the profits .

Mark Long, Colin Mortensen, & Jamie Murray - Battle of the Sexes

Anyone who has see an full time of year ofThe Challengehas belike noticed that every contestant ruin their puzzler immediately after they ’ve dispatch it . But unless viewers have been watching for nigh two ten , they might not realise why .

In the final forBattle of the Sexes , the women ’s squad was actually forrader . But when they completed their teaser , they entrust it inviolate . The boys wound up copy their workplace , which allowed them to get forward and win the whole season .
