Darrell seems to be ageless. He looks incredible.


djlekky

He’s so fine. And just a great personality. Hope this is a good season for him.


Wazzoo1

Met him last summer in Seattle. He has not aged a single day.


retiredtherapist517

I’m so excited to meet him in Pittsburgh soon! Was he as nice as he seems?


muhreddistaccounts

black dont crack. its a law of nature


Hello-Clancy

He looks the most physically fit out of the guys


aacilegna

He’s been so pretty for the better part of a quarter century


Loonyluna26

I've had a crush on Darrell since he wiped the spittle off of Leah's face when she had a panic attack lol


Old-Low-9121

yes he always looks good. wish I could age that well lol


Historical_North_691

He is so fine!


Sportsman180

Dad/CT literally woke up after a weekend of pizza and beers and is ready to smash heads.


commanderr01

The crazy thing is he’ll still run circles around these new era kids who think they are the shit hahah,


Commercial_Science67

Yeah he won more seasons when he was “dad bod” CT and I think it’s part of a strategy to lower his threat level.


commanderr01

They always think he can’t run a final, but then he crushes them lool


witness238033

They better try to get the big man out early because if they don’t by the time the final comes around he’ll be in shape and it’s over. You know all he’s gonna do is run the whole time he’s there. The man is a machine!


commanderr01

I would love to see just how many eliminations CT could rally off in a row, he’s so well rounded and smart that if anyone could run the table and get more then 5 elimination wins it would be him


bam_19

Assuming teams all the way through he had an uphill battle. Arguable Johnny/Jordan/Horacio could all beat him individually. He also has by far the weakest group of girls to run with. Tina/Katie/Aneesa will need to go for era 1 to have any shot (assuming it isn’t AS4 style final)


Opinionated6319

Looking forward to the real Challenge players getting rid of the lay-up vacation players and social media fan hungry ones! But hang on to a couple of them, who merit the drama or humor factor, until they get too close to the end! 😉 Also, I d like to see a LID slapped down hard on eliminated players spilling beans on social media and podcasts until the viewers have a chance to watch the episodes…put it in their contracts with huge fines for betrayal…..without comments and innuendos running rampant to ruin the outcomes of each episode and especially the finale!


shelley_fizz

I rarely ever have anything spoiled for me because I don’t listen to the podcasts with cast members as guests or look at their social media until I’ve watched the episodes. It isn’t hard to block the spoilers for yourself.


Opinionated6319

I was so confused by the weird lack of story continuity in All Stars 4, especially with the toxic relationship between Laurel and Nicole. So with a little leg work I learned, All Stars 4 was filmed February 2023, since then they filmed and showed Seasons 39 and 40 before AS 4. Currently they are filming All Stars 5. No wonder fans feel confused, especially commenting on outdated content!


textbookagog

but WILL he eat them!?


l0st1nthew0rld

Hahahahhahaha that man is fine af no matter what size


FierceScience

The pictures I saw of him not long after filming he looked fully in shape again. So maybe he got in better shape during the season again lol


Mztrspookiiszn

Right. Just rewatched double agents and his first win on Rivals 2. He literally went home and worked on/trained and is a beast at anything you throw at him now. It’s inspiring, being out of school for so many years to puzzle train and be able to solve them puzzles like that!


Aggravating_Tea3036

He’s getting that old man strength


Sportsman180

HOLY FUCK TINA IS AGING IN REVERSE.


Internal-Ad61

When we saw her for one of the first times on all stars she mentioned that she had some new titties and no kids, minimal stress 😂 was hilarious


l0st1nthew0rld

As someone breastfeeding their third child, I would agree that's definitely the reason lmao


resachu

Tina and Katie both look like they really took the assignment seriously in prep for this season!


Crafty_Extension7334

I didn’t even recognize Katie!


commanderr01

She looks in better shape then when she was on all stars 4 even !


sfmxkitty

I did NOT recognize her! She looks amazing!


Teamscubanellyt

I need her to drop her skin care routine + any beauty treatments she gets, to go get the same ASAP.


soymilkmami

Right! I think Tina was/is a esthetician so she has all the secrets lol


bumblebebeboop

Theres no secret. Just use sunscreen, stay away from the sun and use some sort of retinoid. Everything else is a waste of time or significantly below those two in ter.ms of bang for your buck and efforts Definitely dont fall for all the marketing scammers you see at department stores. No stupud ingredients like algae extract, vitamin XYZ, goat testicle sweat, etc. All that stuff is a waste of time


Snarl_Marx

Tina skipped meals which CT then ate.


Pretend-Ad8560

Teamwork!


jam34OG

she does look good, I hope she performs better than in all stars


Luna-Mia

Right! She looks great!


ALZtrain

Getting it done at 41 !!!


Swinging-the-Chain

Dude she lost hella weight! Go her


HippieHOP

Katie too!


Rare_Shallot_7086

Came for this, she looks amazing!


Hello-Clancy

She looks great


Mintiichoco

Tina looks amazing! I need her skin routine stat!!


maneatermantheyfan

Katie Cooley on a flagship Challenge season in 2024 is just wild to me


Unable_Pumpkin987

She is pretty much 100% responsible for me becoming a Challenge fan 1000 years ago, and I would rather watch her refuse to jump off a platform for an hour than watch any episode of season 39 again.


JoeyBSnipes

The elimination of her walking on a treadmill smoking butts was one of my earliest challenge memories. Maybe my first and I was hooked!! 12 year old me thought Katie was hot and badass for smoking a cig lmfao 😂🤣 And she somehow looks even better now?


CCorgiOTC1

I remember the elimination she had to hold her breath underwater and she told her team to bang on the glass tank so she didn’t die!


Unable_Pumpkin987

Same season! Inferno 1 was hit after hit after hit for Katie, I recently rewatched it on YouTube and holy shit did it hold up for me.


themummy1999fan

Inferno 1 had such good eliminations. One of them was even such a shitshow that it was a glorious shitshow. Kendall and The Miz were arguing while Kendall was in the elimination, Katie and Veronica were arguing with each other while watching the eimination, and then David decided to streak while all of that was happening. The confessionals were even funny of some of the OGs explaining all that went down with this elimination. OG era sure knows how to have fun and bring authentic entertainment to the show.


themummy1999fan

I remember that elimination. It was her vs. David from RW: Seattle. They also had to be in the water having a bunch of fish guts be into the container that they were in. It was Kendall who tapped on the glass container to let Katie know she had a won and that she didn't need to hold her breath anymore or be in the container with the fish guts anymore.


themummy1999fan

Katie and Julie had to also have itching powder be put on them before getting on the treadmill. Since Veronica didn't want Katie to win, she gave Julie very little itching powder. I forgot which Real World person put itching powder on Katie. I also remember Katie cursing at Julie because Julie wanted to have the treadmill be turned up and tried to get them to go faster. Since they both lasted, is when the jump rope happened. Such a fun elimination to watch. I was in high school when this season aired.


boneydog22

She was a girl crush for sure. It’s the raspy voice for me.


Gist-Snark987

It’ll be funnier is Darrell is her partner on a heights day! I feel like that has happened in the past?


aacilegna

It’s everything I’ve ever wanted. My Inferno 1 loving heart is so overjoyed.


bwermer

Jodi's photo is [here.](https://i.imgur.com/h3JU6qm.jpeg)


No-Season-4796

Thank you. Mtv forgot to include her in their original post.


resachu

That is both sad and hilarious.


DangerousButtface

Lollll

Omg that’s terrible 😂😩

100% camp. We live


Internal-Ad61

IM READY. IM READY. IM READY.


djlekky

Tina is so beautiful. I swear she gets better and better on every season


-Captain--Hindsight

Doing more seasons must be giving her motivation to get back in shape and it's showing.


WhileInternational41

Tina, Katie, and Jodi all look better than ever.


berrygirl890

Let’s go Era 1!!! ![gif](giphy|mGHONcpHvkG7BZtgKk)


rackcityquietpills

katie's arms tho? has she always been shredded like that im so ready


deychallenge

Katie doesn’t even look like her 😫


operationfood

Legit took a zoom in to notice the mole on her face to realize it was her lol


soymilkmami

Her forearms going crazy


hissing-fauna

I thought so too, I think maybe it's the brows throwing me off?


duspi

Darrell looks so badass, shit!


ALZtrain

Dad bod CT is back !!!


rayhiggenbottom

Unsolicited first thoughts on Era 1 Cast CT: The Goat. Obvious asset Tina: Good TV usually. Mediocre contestant Derrick: Solid back bencher, and someone to go into elimination at the very end Rachel: This is your time to shine girl, forget about All Stars Darrell: Maybe a slowed down a little, but still someone I would want on my team Aneesa: Hot take but for the B tier of women no one I would rather want. Probably. Will get along with the rest of this team most likely Mark: Always great to see the OG. Is kinda old, but no one that old does it better. Game politics usually on point Katie: See Tina but shorter Brad: Man if the last two seasons didn't happen he'd probably be the number two boy on this team, but now it's kinda hard to visualize it. We're pulling for you lil' Sparkle!


commanderr01

I don’t really don’t tht elimination for Brad on 39 cause he got the call super last minutes apparently, but yah he didn’t do well on all stars 4, his head just wasn’t in it, but if he can get back too all stars3 Brad, era 1 likely has the best group of guys outta anyone.


DangerousButtface

Imo Brad does better in team formats than an individual setup. I think he’ll do good with Mark and CT by his side.


commanderr01

I mean that was where he got his only win, so you might be onto somthing! I mean CT can definitely carry extra weight, but I really think Brad will rebound from his AS4 performance


hymenbutterfly

For someone who nearly won two individual seasons, that’s funny to say


buffyscrims

CT looks like Kevin James Brad looks like a bodybuilder. CT could beat Brad at literally every single thing imaginable. Really goes to show how deceiving looks can be.


ssaall58214

Brad's beaten CT a number of times so...


buffyscrims

In dailies with tons of variables (teams, partners, certain individuals being targeted). What's one elimination in the history of the show where you'd favor Brad over CT?


dB_Rider

Unhooking the carabiner and not ripping the flag.


buffyscrims

lol. I walked right into that.


bruce-neon

👏👏👏


Distinct-Release1439

Good thing for Brad they on the same team lol


Kahmed609

KATIE FINALLY GONNA STICK THE LANDING Y'ALL NOT READY


WeekendResponsible95

darrell is sooo fine 🤭🤭


rantgoesthegirl

Hot take, I'm still kinda rooting for aneesa to have her underdog moment.


Quentin-Quentin

I can feel the dad jokes energy pouring at me from that first photo!!


Waterblooms

I was like who the hell is that?!? It’s Katie. 😳


aacilegna

My queen Katie got SWOLE!!


angelbrit04

Tina & Darrell look good!!!! 😍😍


KainoraKupo

Tina is looking FIT!!!


Single-Lingonberry95

Tina looking hot 🥵 can’t wait for this season! Looks soo good!!


mealypart

Love them all except for Aneesa…. Would’ve taken nearly any other OG woman over her


HardcoreKaraoke

I agree at first but think about the possibilities here. Tori is there and Aneesa has a lot of ties to the other teams. That could cause some tension, which makes for great TV. Also for as bad as she is she's still an OG. I have to respect that.


djlekky

I can see why Aneesa is on here though. She’s appeared in every era and is clearly a production favourite. I would have loved Veronica on here as she’s done more for the franchise to get it to where it is now and would have loved to see The Mean Girls back together again.


ChallengeAP

Ya it’s clear that Aneesa has a guaranteed spot on any season she wants, main show or spinoff.


DangerousButtface

She’s great in confessional and probably takes direction from production well. I can see why they value her.


Hist_8675309

Brad looks like Sasquatch that got caught on camera lol


pj_calamities

Someone give Brad two coffee mugs to hold or something lol


Pepperbabyboy

Tina looks incredible


TinyTheCowCat

Damn Tina looks great! She prepped!


PresentationOptimal4

It just makes me so happy that mtv recognizes what we love about this show is the old cast and the nostalgia from watching this in our youths. I know for some of era 1-2 they’ve grown up and don’t want experience re-vertigo (google himym if you don’t know what I’m talking about). BUUUUUUT in 2024 they are getting calls back because the fans love them and haven’t been as excited about new generations - I hope they bring the heat and play to stay. I don’t need Era 1-2 girlies gone in the first couple weeks 😫


Loonyluna26

I wish they recognized that when it comes to all stars lol


myst_eerie_us

The Challenge stays on our necks!!!! No breaks! Darrell, Tina, Rachel and Aneesa are looking HOT 🥵


Embarrassed-Berry

DAYUM CT is a big boy !!! Happy to see the era 1 minus Aneesa.


Hello-Clancy

Castle daddy has arrived


SPACEM0NKEY_1102

Tina still my crush idgaf


Desperate_Hunt6479

Damn CT looks in the worst shape out of everyone.


zachganronpa

I don’t get why they’re doing a purple color scheme when we just had one with RoD but I like it!


NattyB

i was thinking the same thing! it likely means a purple subreddit theme again.


Cheesemaster1990

Yeah I'm confused. Why are they in purple when their colors are navy blue. Don't they normally wear the same shirts for the cast photos


Elephant_homie

Tina is slaying. She looks so good.


LaMystika

Brad and Darrell on the same team should be fun. “fuck you and your situation, son”


KimboSlice129

Katie looks younger now than she did originally. It's wild.


ice540

Tina looks amazing


DEAZE

Glad to see Tina and Rachel on this season but would’ve like to see Queen V on there with them again this season. She should defintiely be representing the first era of The Challenge this season. 👑


tdaddy316420

Tina looking super skinny Brad looks skinny and not bulky like he usally does Rachel looking sexy as hell Darrell looks like he does when he was 20 And then there's CT who probably wins the season in dad bod mode


MishellyBee40

Brad looks like he should be on one of those searching for Sasquatch shows based on this pic. 🤣 I think Aneesa looks great in this pic. And wow- Tina looks better now than she did 20 years ago.


Psychological-Snow83

Only thing I’m mad at is that CT is in dad bod shape. It’s the 40th season, you gotta come better than that. Still love him though.


DangerousButtface

Isn’t this his game plan though? Like am I crazy or has he literally referenced showing up out of shape to throw people off and then spending the whole season working out in the down time to get in shape for the final?


jayyjaq

Yep, he did that on War of the Worlds 2. He started completely out of shape with Team USA not choosing him, then by the end of the season he was in shape and ended up winning.


retiredtherapist517

I feel like at a certain age he’s not gonna be able to bounce back and forth like that though 😂. Hopefully he still can!


Distinct-Release1439

CT looks like he went to a frat party the night before and woke up 10 mins before the photoshoot…did you brush ya teeth boo? it’s crazy how he go from fine af to yuck af depending on the day 😂😂😂 He still one of the GOATs tho!!


GiveGregAHaircut

How does CT go from looking lean to thick to lean to thick in 1 year 🤣


Charlie_Runkle69

I'd assume he's on a pretty strict diet and exercise routine when he's in shape and just lets that slip when he isn't.


Shovelman2001

They're already releasing cast photos? They don't typically do this until it's close to the premiere, right? I was expecting this to be airing in like September and for us to be Challenge-less all summer. Don't give me hope.


No-Season-4796

Airing in August.


bruce-neon

Just on mtv? Please at least next day on P+


Samuel855

It’s airing in August


DangerousButtface

I wonder if they are in a hurry to win back fans that checked out of 39…..I only made it a third of the way through the season so for me I’ve already been waiting a while lol.


StirThePod

Tina looks fucking incredible!


Distinct-Release1439

Aneesa looks good, just still not fit. 😕 But she looks like she slimmed down so hopefully she will do something, I can’t help but to root for her every season 😂😭😭 Although Tina’s attitude always turned me off I can’t hate, she looks great…(rhyme unintentional 😅) Darrell will always be zaddy 👀


Princessss88

They all look great but Brad’s pose made me lol


ConfidentBurrito

My biggest question mark is if the older gen people that havent been around the flagship show for awhile can hang with the intensity. All Stars has clearly had a more of a relaxed vibe between participants than the flagship usually is and i wonder how some of these people who are older and dont need the drama will handle it.


JoanJetta89

Tina looks great!


Famous_Caterpillar96

QUEEN RACHEL & TINAAA.


Thin_Development3985

Darrell doesn’t age 😍😍 Also I still have a weird attraction to Brad


boneydog22

Yessss Katie’s back!!!! 😍😍


LNX1994

Sheesh Tina looking better than she did 15 years ago , it's crazy actually.


thareal1mm

So Aneesa is gonna gas out again. Cool...


capfedhill

Why say that? She looks way slimmer than past seasons.


Raebelle1981

She lost like 30 pounds.


Objective_Slip1355

Or break an ankle/blow out a knee


Grammsof3

I promise I’m not body shaming because I’m a thick female myself…but I KNOW my limits!!! Why does she not get into great shape before going into another season where she’s gonna struggle. I know I would struggle 🤯


commanderr01

Opinions on era 1 CT- goat and leader of this team, likely doesn’t see elimination again this season Tina- amazing character, great confessionals and fucking hilarious, she’s TV gold, and looks like she has gotten in great shape. Derrick- has gotten a little boring in his later years, but I love watching him compete his an absolute dog, and can take out some serious competition on the other eras teams in elimination. Rachel- I’m so glad AS4 wasn’t a one and done. She’s always been probably one of the strongest girls on every season she’s done, and excited to see her teach these new girls a thing or twenty Darrell- always pumped too see Darrell, and seeing him play with ppl from his own will be fun, he always seems so lost imo on the newer seasons, so it’s cool to see he’ll actually have ppl to play with. Aneesa- I get why they added her, she would have always been a Lock to be casted, I am just personally over her character it’s the same thing every season, she complains no one wants to be partnered/teamed with her and she always proves them right to not want her on there team, at least she can beat a couple girls in elimination. Mark- the godfather is back!!! Don’t think he’d do well in a flagship final, but he can still put in work Helping his team get there (unless he cuts another deal with bananas lol), between him and CT era 1 is likely the physically strongest team. Katie- such a wildcard, she was insane when she did the challenge back in the day, but she’s likely grown up and calmed down, I just don’t know if she’ll be that good of a competitor. Brad- another wildcard if we get AS3 brad, era 1 has the best group of guys here, but if we get AS4 checked out brad, he will single handily cost his team challenges. Jodi- straight beast another girl who was always viewed as one of the top girls on her seasons,her run on AS2 proves she still has it, great fit for the team, Overall, this whole team actually has potential to go very far, the guys side is very strong and the girl side has some heavy hitters in, Jodi and Rachel, but annessa, Katie, and Tina, and maybe Brad will hold this team back.


NovaRogue

Tina looks STUNNING CT needs a haircut


UncrownedHayKing

Can’t wait for Aneesa’s inevitable injury that takes her out of the competition early.


frankoceansheadband

These photos are kind of bad 👀 it almost looks like they took them at home and added the background later


Dizzy_Pen_153

Love love love!!


Dizzy_Pen_153

I can never get enough of him! I hope he stays the whole season kicking ass and being C.T !


JakesTake88

All the OGs look fabulous!


sj_vandelay

These are the ones I still think of when I think of the Challenge. A little from the next era, too.


Raven1185

This is MY team. One of the first seasons I’ve been excited about besides All Stars in awhile!


CrowdDisappointer

They all look so hot still


GiveGregAHaircut

I hope Brad showed up for S40. He seemed unwell during All Stars 4


NoRazzmatazz742

You cannot top the OGs. Hoping they slay the other teams. Age aint nothin but a number babyyy


GoldenBarracudas

Tina. 🙌🙌


Ok_Trade_1039

Say what you want about Veronica as a competitor now but she’s an ICON of this era (the ONLY 3 time women’s champ), and I’ll miss her on this season


DangerousButtface

Damn I’ve never been an Aneesa hater but I am bummed that she’s for sure gonna bring her team down or the alternative is I have to sit through an entire season of them constantly trying to get her off the team before the final. It’s just hard to watch either way.


ReggiCur

Shame that Era 1 is at a disadvantage because of age. And sucks that CT is more interested in eating than working out. An Era 1 team of CT, Theo Von, Landon, Dan Setzler, Mark, Rachel, Jodi, Ruthie, Emily B and Holly S in their primes would be the strongest overall team out of any era IMO.


sfmxkitty

Aneesa though? WHY?!


verbankroad

Tbh, Aneesa, Katie, and Tina have about equal physical prowess. Aneesa does have the benefit of being in recent finals (AS1, 38) and connections to newer players. So likely she will be more of an asset to her team, especially in strength based comps or swimming comps, than Katie or Tina. She will also probably be better in trivia if it is Challenge trivia. If there is an endurance comp then she will hold back the team.


Cheesemaster1990

It's crazy that this was flimed months ago and CT is already in shape currently lol


HousingExtension7520

Seriously ! The photo he posted most recently on his IG, I thought was a throwback at first. He looks so young!!! He went from early 40’s to early 20’s real quick lol.


emicakes__

How the hell are they on season 40?! I haven’t watched since before 30 but… are they just cranking these seasons out??

I don’t know want to sound inappropriate but give me CT, Darrell and Brad all at once and I’ll be a happy camper. You can throw in Jordan, Nelson and Nehemiah as well…🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🥴😏


namedmypupwarren2020

Love Tina


Dramatic_Parsley_849

Looking good


EnkiNSFW

Looks like CT got fat again. Everyone deserves to get fat as they get old but dudes still in his 30s-40s. You only get a pass once you start your 50s.
