Four-time The Challenge champ Darrell Taylor hasn’t competed with rookie teammates much in his two-decade career. However, when he does, they’ve gone on to become champions. Will Australia’s Kiki Morris continue the tradition?

The Challenge champ Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio told podcast Challenge Mania that CBS should include MTV veterans in The Challenge: USA Season 2, believing it needed established personalities to show the newcomers the ropes. Here are five legends from the flagship that would make exceptional additions to the upcoming season.
Johnny ‘Bananas’ Devenanzio
The winningest competitor has appeared in over 20 seasons since his debut in 2006’s The Duel, and he’s racked up 68 daily wins, 27 elimination wins, $1,222,720 earned, and a historic seven wins. Even though he’s already appeared in season 38’s Ride or Dies and spinoff World Championship after taking a two-season break, Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio has become a franchise staple, and his presence would make the show feel a little more authentic.

Things didn't start out well for Ben Flajnik, and not just because he was greeted with a cheesy (bacon-y?) come-on. The Bachelor's 16th season launched to franchise-low ratings. But things are looking up for Flajnik, and not just because he got to enjoy the wonder that is bikini-skiing. Last night's Bachelor averaged 8.2 million overall viewers, and a 2.7 rating among 18-to-49-year-olds, per estimates. Both numbers are season highs. The Nielsen turnaround started last week. (See: bikini skiing.) Four episodes in, Flajnik's Bachelor is finally approaching last year's Brad Womack edition. And with Amber Bacon long gone, there's no (less?) danger of more...
