The Challenge: All Stars Season 2 Cast Includes Controversial Fan Favorites

The first season of The Challenge: All Stars brought longtime viewers of the original MTV franchise down memory lane. Twenty-two Challenge veterans who starred in past seasons of The Real World and Road Rules made their way to the Andes Mountains in hopes of winning $500,000. Viewers watched Yes Duffy win the grand prize earlier this year, but he won’t return to test his luck in Season 2 of the hit show, set to premiere Thursday, Nov. 11 on Paramount+.

Still, there will be 24 other Challenge OG’s for fans to cheer on (or boo) in the second season of All Stars. It’s been over a decade since some former contestants, like Tina Barta and Ayanna Mackins, have competed in Challenge game history. Then there are others, including Darrell Taylor, Derrick Kosinski, and Katie Cooley (née Doyle), who are coming back to the show since appearing in its first season. Mark Long, who originally pitched the idea for The Challenge: All Stars on social media, is also making a return but as an executive producer this time. In addition, longtime Challenge host TJ Lavin will follow each competitor’s moves throughout all 10 episodes.

Thanks to the trailer for the second season of All Stars, it looks like the competition is even more intense this time around. According to Lavin, everyone must “work hard” and “dig deeper” for their chance to earn the $500,000 cash reward.
