MTV's The Challenge: Invasion cast reveal
It’s almost time for the return of MTV’s The Challenge, and ahead of the show’s new season, EW can exclusively reveal the upcoming cast, not to mention the brand new twist.
The new season, titled The Challenge: Invasion will feature 18 series “underdogs” competing to earn their way out of The Shelter, their desolate, barebones accommodations in Thailand. If they’re able to battle their way out of The Shelter, they’ll land in the posh estate of The Oasis. Only 12 underdogs will earn their spot in The Oasis, but that’s only step one of their (literal) challenge.
The season’s twist involves a surprise, season-long attack from eight of the “most fearsome Challenge Champions,” including repeat champion Johnny “Bananas,” and the return of CT following his three-year absence as a competitor on the show.
For those who make it to the very end, they will have to compete in the show’s very first three-day challenge to take home the grand prize of $350,000.

And to give you an idea of what the season will be like, here’s a message from the champs to the underdogs:
The Challenge: Invasion kicks off with a two-hour premiere on Tuesday, Feb. 7 at 9 p.m. ET on MTV.
Here we are once again, it's Challege time for my faithful viewers & fans we all know what that means. As you see in the above article we a few challenge vets, some of whom have collected payouts and others who have gone home with pennies (not counting what they get paid to be on the show. They do get paid for being there right? Right??)
And then we will have the inevitable new comers bka the rookies aka fresh meat; but this time they're 'underdogs' mixed in with the losers. This team will consist of the very much un-liked (from what i hear cause I don't watch the show) Are You the One cast mates and other Real Worls Alumni. We have a great cast, CT is byke & my dude Darrell (that dude who beat Brad's ass on the Ruins about 7 years ago. I can't find the legit clip on YouTube. You can try but you will just find yourself very angry after a while...) among many others. Yes I name dropped those two cause they are my dudes.
The show kicks off next week. I won't be able to interact with y'all as it airs. But carry on as if I am.
