The show has aired four episodes so far and started out with former contestants who have previously starred in and left a mark on the different regional series of the franchise. The contestants were divided into two categories, MVPs and Legends.

The Challenge Legends consisted of:

  • Darrell Taylor
  • Jodi Weatherton
  • Johnny Bananas DeVenanzio
  • Jonna Mannion
  • Jordan Wisely
  • Kaycee Clark
  • KellyAnne Judd

  • Wes Bergmann

The Challenge MVPs consisted of:

  • Kiki Morris
  • Sarah Lacina
  • Tristan Phipps
  • Troy Cullen
  • Zara Zoffany

Those who have been eliminated since The Challenge: World Championship’s inception have been Nathan, Claudia, Nelson, Jujuy, Rogrio, and Nia. The upcoming episode is titled Everyone Wants to Rule the World.

The upcoming episode will see tensions carry forward from last week’s episode, where the Legends got into a fight. When Jonna decided to throw another legend into one of the first eliminations of the global series of the franchise, KellyAnne felt betrayed and blindsided and took it out on Mannion.


What else happened in the previous episode of The Challenge: World Championship

In last week’s episode, titled World on Fire, which aired on Wednesday, March 22, 2023, the contestants had to compete in the Gates of Hell. Wes Bergmann and Zara Zoffany placed first, while Nia Moore and Rodrigo finished last. However, not everyone agreed with the decision.

After the episode aired, USA MVP Danny McCray took to social media to state that he disagreed with the victory. He tweeted, pointing out that Wes didn’t make it through the gate as it closed on his body, and questioned whether the win should be counted or whether they should have gone to a stalemate.

During elimination, Wes and Zara chose Jodi and Benja to go into The Arena and forced another match where Argentinian players went up against each other. The challenge was titled Oiled Up, during which the teams were tasked with repeatedly filling up buckets with oil. The Challenge: World Championship contestants then had to climb on a rig and dump the oil into a well. The first team that filled their respective wells first won.

While Jodi and Benja worked as individuals in the challenge, Rodrigo and Nia worked as a team, as he stayed on top as his partner kept passing the buckets to him. Eventually, Jodi and Benja finished first and sent the latter team home.
