Zach Nichols felt that his former castmate, Cara Maria Sorbello, could have handled her situation with a castmate on The Challenge: All Stars 4 differently.
Cara is currently appearing with other MTV OGs on the Paramount+ spin-off, which features just one winner for the fourth season.
The game can be cutthroat, and things can get rougher with the added twists, such as winning stars and stealing them from other competitors.
In a recent episode, viewers saw several castmates get into it due to a strategic vote to send one competitor into the elimination.
That war of words featured Cara labeling her castmate a weaker player while comparing them to the other All Stars 4 competitors, which Zach took exception to.
The former Battle of the Seasons winner and The Real World: San Diego cast member spoke about it on his recent podcast episode, mentioning how his perspective is different now that he has a daughter.

[Warning: The following post contains Major spoilers for The Challenge: All Stars‘ latest episode.] It’d been 10 years since Brandon Nelson last competed on The Challenge, and a lot of things changed in his personal life — and his gameplay strategy, for that matter — when he returned for All Stars Season 4. Though he and Cara Maria Sorbello were two of the few Challenge-first players (having both joined the show for Fresh Meat II) — and she was cast in every season he’d been on — he didn’t feel compelled to stay loyal to her when it came to choosing a pair for elimination in last week’s episode against Rachel Robinson. Though she came back with her star intact, Cara Maria was still stung by Brandon’s decision to turn against her, and he knew he’d have to pay for that decision sooner or later. He justified the move by ...

The Challenge introduced plenty of stars to viewers throughout its 39 seasons, including Nany Gonzalez.
The beloved cast member debuted on MTV’s The Real World: Las Vegas in 2012 and then became a regular on the competition series.
Her most recent appearance came during The Challenge: Ride or Dies, where she reached another final, this time alongside Johnny Bananas, the show’s winningest competitor.
Unfortunately, Nany and Bananas came up short, losing to eventual champions Tori Deal and Devin Walker.
Since then, viewers haven’t seen Nany on any version of The Challenge, whether it be MTV’s regular seasons or one of the spinoffs like All Stars.
Rumors have suggested that she may not be interested in a return to the franchise right now.
However, a producer recently praised the longtime cast member, indicating he knew she’d be a star despite being “rough around the edges” initially.

The Challenge winner, Zach Nichols, delivered his latest take on the competition series, which many viewers may agree with.
He last competed on MTV’s War of the Worlds 2 season, where he stayed under the radar and worked with Team USA under the guidance of Paulie Calafiore, Cara Maria Sorbello, and others.
During that season, they ran a large alliance in the game, eliminating former show winners Johnny Bananas and Laurel Stucky.
Ultimately, Cara, Paulie, Zach, and others from Team USA reached the final, which was most of the plan. Unfortunately, they lost it to a Team UK squad featuring Ct Tamburello and Jordan Wiseley.
In his latest podcast episode, Zach discussed how alliances hurt the show and make it less entertaining.
He mentioned how he felt the show’s landscape could change with more people working together under different circumstances.

The competition series is currently filming MTV’s Season 40, which features a star-studded cast of 40 individuals from various eras.

Meanwhile, rumors about All Stars 5 recently dropped, suggesting a significant change in the cast.

Cara Maria Sorbello said she thought two of her castmates on The Challenge: All Stars 4 would reunite due to their shared “hatred” of her.
Viewers last saw Cara with her boyfriend, Paulie Calafiore, on War of the Worlds 2, but they didn’t appear in any seasons after that on MTV.
After several seasons away, the two-time champion of MTV’s competition series returned for the spinoff, All Stars 4, joining a cast that included friends Leroy Garrett and Kam Williams but also foes like Laurel Stucky.
Cara and Laurel butted heads during previous MTV seasons but also were friends at one point. However, it wasn’t clear where they stood going into the spinoff.
Along with Laurel in All Stars 4, Nicole Zanatta, her ex-girlfriend, returned to the show after an unsuccessful Double Agents season on MTV.

Cara Maria Sorbello made her highly-anticipated return for a season of The Challenge with the recent premiere of All Stars 4.
While she previously appeared on The Challenge: Battle For a New Champion on MTV, Cara hadn’t done a full season since War of the Worlds 2 in 2019.
That season, she participated in a major alliance that her boyfriend Paulie Calafiore set up with other players from Team UK.
It led to plenty of chaos and potential grudges from other cast members, and the duo wasn’t seen back on The Challenge until this year’s USA 2 and All Stars 4 spin-offs.
Paulie was the first to return on USA 2 and buried the hatchet with their rival Johnny Bananas. Cara showed up for MTV’s Season 39 as a mercenary – filmed after she’d completed filming for All Stars 4.

Fan-favorite power couple Leroy Garrett and Kam Williams officially returned to The Challenge as part of the All Stars 4 spin-off.
The popular duo, now parents to two children, last appeared together in MTV’s Double Agents season.
Ahead of that season, Leroy announced it would be his last one, and he revealed it was due to the lack of involvement production had during his castmate’s racist tirade toward him on The Challenge Season 30.
While away from the show, he focused on his barber business, his relationship with Kam, and building their family.
However, The Challenge came calling again with the Paramount+ spinoff show, and Leroy accepted the call.
He credited Kam for talking him into it because of how things have changed with everyone involved in the competition series.

Since the beginning, The Challenge: All Stars has been giving all-new meaning to the term “veterans.” Whereas The Challenge proper and other spinoffs like The Challenge: U.S.A. have been busy introducing fresh blood into the franchise, All Stars gives some of the longer-in-the-tooth Challengers a place to shine. This season, which premieres on April 10 on Paramount+, there are some serious blasts from the past in play, including a few folks even the most dedicated Challenge fan might’ve forgotten. The vastness of the generational variety in Season 4 brings with it a few ages-old alliances that put certain folks in peak positions right from the start. On the other hand, there are also some more recent folks who are already good enough to count as an “All Star,” and that’s a wholly different kind of advantage. TV Insider caught up with a few of the returning stars from The Challenge:...

When MTV put The Challenge on their airwaves back in 1998, the idea was to assemble a group of former Real World and Road Rules cast members and pit them against each other for a cash prize. Nobody could have predicted the show would be going strong over a quarter century later with more than 500 episodes across 39 seasons, spinoffs shooting all over the globe, and a rabid fan base that obsesses over every detail of it on social media, web forums, podcasts, and even live Challenge Mania events where fans gather together to meet cast members.

The Challenge finalist Jay Starrett debuted a new look, which some fans seem to love and others criticized.
When he appeared on Season 39 of MTV’s competition series Battle For a New Champion, the former Survivor star received plenty of backlash.
That was due to his connection to an alliance orchestrated mostly by his friend Michele Fitzgerald that included many cast members as part of the arrangement.
However, Jay didn’t protect his friend Nurys Mateo late in the game, leading to multiple elimination appearances for Nurys before she could advance to the final.
That led to a falling out between Nurys and Jay, as well as tea spilled during the Season 39 reunion about Jay and their castmate Olivia Kaiser.
Castmates claimed the Season 39 stars had a makeout session on a bus ride despite Jay having a girlfriend off the show.
