The Challenge Season 40 is still filming, and spoilers have yet to reveal who competed in or won the latest final.
However, spoilers revealed surprising eliminations, including former finalists and champions ousted from the game. That’s likely due to alliances, backstabbing, and betrayals.
In recent seasons, many viewers have expressed frustration over a group known as the Vacation Alliance.
That particular group of castmates tends to take off-season vacations together and then typically works together during the next season of The Challenge they’re on.
Based on recent rumors online, another alliance may have formed following several cast members’ eliminations from Season 40.

The marriage between Big Brother alums Memphis Garrett and Chicatmas Abbott may end soon.
It was recently reported that Christmas and Memphis are no longer living together.
Now, it has been confirmed that Memphis has filed for divorce.
Memphis appeared on Big Brother 10 — where he finished as the runner-up to winner Dan Gheesling.
Christmas was on Big Brother 19. The trio of Christmas, Josh Martinez, and Paul Abrahamian made it to the end, but she finished in third place.
Memphis and Christmas got invited back for Big Brother 22 (Big Brother: All-Stars 2), but they got eliminated right before the end.
After the show, the platonic showmance in the Big Brother house turned into a relationship in the real world. The couple got engaged a short time later and married in May 2022.

During The Challenge: Battle For a New Champion reunion, Tori Deal and Cara Maria Sorbello were among the five former champions who participated in the special, with several back-and-forth quips.
There’s no love lost between the two castmates and champions, based on their history during The Challenge.
They appeared together in Cara Maria’s last Challenge season, War of the Worlds 2, before her hiatus of several years.
Unsurprisingly, a remark arrived during part of the reunion involving that season, as Tori brought up that season’s gameplay to Cara Maria.
That season featured Tori and her boyfriend, Jordan Wiseley, who were initially part of Team USA but then decided to defect to Team UK after Cara’s alliance started working to eliminate them.
Cara’s boyfriend, Paulie Calafiore, has now weighed in on the topic, as he was also part of the Wotw 2 alliance with his girlfriend.

Big Brother Reindeer Games, the surprise hit of the holiday season, came to a close on Thursday night (December 21) as the Christmas-themed spinoff crowned its first winner. The two-week special kicked off on CBS on December 11 and saw nine former Big Brother houseguests enter “Santa’s Lodge” where they battled it out in a series of holiday-themed competitions in an effort to “save Christmas.” Those nine returning players were Xavier Prather, Taylor Hale, Nicole Franzel, Frankie Grande, Cameron Hardin, Cody Calafiore, Danielle Reyes, Josh Martinez, and Britney Haynes. The show was hosted by fellow Big Brother alumni Derek Xiao, Tiffany Mitchell, and Jordan Lloyd. Thursday’s finale came down to a face-off between Season 24 winner Hale and Season 18 winner Franzel. The pair had to scale a pile of foam pieces, navigate a maze, and build a tower out of snowflakes, and it was that last part that proved the trickiest.

Not to be hyperbolic, but “Big Brother Reindeer Games” has delivered some of the best and most exciting comps and comp results in franchise history in just three episodes so far. In the second episode, Cody Calafiore, as the Naughty and Nice challenge winner, got to pick his teammates for the Jingle Bell Brawl and assembled a comp beast dream team of his Season 16 cohorts Frankie Grande and Nicole Franzel, in addition to Xavier Prather, leaving Danielle Reyes, Josh Martinez, Britney Haynes and Taylor Hale on Team Underdogs.
But anyone who thought Cody’s super squad would dominate was very, very wrong. Even with Taylor having to decorate an extra tree as her disadvantage punishment, the underdogs breezed through the comp — and at one point were two trees ahead of Cody’s team — and pulled off the upset to secure safety. But the Season 22 champ, who was eliminated in Santa...

Season 2 of “The Challenge: USA” concluded Thursday night with “Survivor” veterans Chris Underwood and Desi Williams racing their way to the championship and splitting a $500,000 cash prize. Placing second and third on the men’s side were “Challenge” vet Cory Wharton and seven-time winner Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio. Watch their exclusive video interview with Gold Derby senior editor Denton Davidson above.
For Cory, coming in second place for the third time in his “Challenge” career was a tough pill to swallow. Day 1 of the final got off to a rocky start, with the competitor losing all four “Trials,” which earned him a five minute penalty at Day 2’s starting line. “I put a lot of work into ‘The Challenge,'” he explains. “Leaving the family and all of the gym sessions beforehand…throughout the whole season you want to go to the finals. You want to put your best day forward.

The Challenge: USA Season 2 was not a good time to be Big Brother. Sure, there are still two players who come from that show, but Faysal Shafaat and Josh Martinez are also allied with the vets, due to their time on the MTV side of the franchise.

Here, Tyler talks his strategy, campaigning to go into elimination to protect Alyssa Snider earlier this season, and more. With those times, that was the fastest elimination this season, right? Tyler Crispen: Yeah, I think I was a part of the longest elimination so far and the shortest. That was a quick one. Do you think there’s anything you could’ve done differently ...

Alyssa Lopez became the sixth contestant eliminated from “The Challenge: USA” on Thursday night, following her loss to Cassidy in the arena. In the game “Block Heads,” each woman was locked in a metal cage they had to roll around the arena to collect flags. Once they had four flags, they raced to a monitor to decode them and get a combination that would free them from their cage. In the end, Cassidy pulled off the win and sent the “Big Brother 23” star packing. Watch our exclusive video interview with the eliminated contestant above.
Alyssa wasn’t the main target in the house, but just one anonymous vote putting her name in the hopper was all it took. “I wasn’t surprised,” she told Gold Derby. “I had nerves the entire show being there. I didn’t have any nerves when I went down. I am that friend that always has bad luck.

It only took one vote to send Alyssa Lopez home in The Challenge: USA Season 2. In “Operation Hat Trick,” named after the vets’ big move, the focus turned from vets vs. rookies to Big Brother vs. Survivor. After Green Team won the daily and nominated Chris Underwood and Cassidy Clark for elimination, Johnny “Bananas” DeVenanzio, Tori Deal, Josh Martinez, Cory Wharton, and Faysal Shafaat put five names in a hat and randomly picked one as their votes. That was the only vote for Lopez, but her ball came out of the hopper, and so she faced off against Clark and lost in Block Heads. (Each was locked in a cage that had to be maneuvered around the arena to pick up flags. Those flags then revealed a code to unlock the cage.) Below, Lopez talks about that loss, why she wants to take time off from The Challenge: USA,...

Luis Colón became the fourth contestant eliminated from “The Challenge: USA” on Sunday night, following his loss to Chris Underwood in the arena. In the game “Evil Eye,” each man began in the center of the arena, holding on to either side of the “evil eye.” After host T.J. Lavin said “Go!” they engaged in a physical battle, trying to wrestle the object away from each other. In the end, Chris pulled off the win and sent the rookie from “The Amazing Race” packing. Watch our exclusive video interview with the eliminated contestant above.
“We knew since Episode 1 that they were coming after us,” Luis tells Gold Derby senior editor Denton Davidson. “We had the best team. The women on our team were the reason why we were so good.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Challenge: USA Season 2 Episode 4 “Double Crossed and Sideswiped.”] Green Team is not the place to be on The Challenge: USA right now.

As a result, Red won, and Josh Martinez, despite quite the messy nominations, got his way and both Desi Williams and Luis Colon, both from Green, were sent into elimination. The secret vote and the hopper led to them facing off against Amanda Garcia and Chris Underwood in Evil Eye, in which they had to try to get the disc out of the ring. Colon and Garcia were sent home. Here, Colon reveals what we didn’t see during that elimination, what he thought about the other teams working together, and why he wouldn’t immediately say yes to doing ...

When The Challenge: USA Season 1 launched last summer on CBS, many wondered what would happen if legendary players from the MTV original series infiltrated the game.
In a rare case of producers listening to fan demands, the reality tv series will add familiar faces to the cast of The Challenge: USA Season 2.
Faces from Survivor, Big Brother, and The Amazing Race, will compete with six legends of the original series.
Unfortunately, Love Island is being left out in the cold this year, and while it's upsetting, it makes sense.
The dating series has moved to Peacock, so it seems like Viacom is no longer interested in promoting the brand.
Boo. Hiss.
The two-part premiere kicks off Thursday, August 10, and part two airs Sunday, August 13 on the CBS Television Network and streaming on Paramount+.
Following the CBS Television Network premiere, new episodes will air on Thursdays and Sundays for the first three weeks.
