Colleen Schneider competed in The Challenge season 38 along with Kim Tränka

Colleen Schneider, who first appeared on the MTV franchise in season 38, Ride or Dies, appeared on television along with Kim Tränka. Both of them are reality television personalities from Germany and have previously appeared in different shows.

In 2021, Kim was featured in Prince Charming, which resembles USA's Bachelor Nation shows. However, the show has an all-male cast as it features gay men and a black tie event in every segment instead of a rose ceremony.

Colleen, on the other hand, previously competed in The Mole Germany where she was the Mole. She almost made it all the way but was discovered in the finale. She has a degree in psychology.

Her bio on The Challenge season 38 reads:

"Colleen found great success on Germany's "The Mole," where, as the titular mole, she manipulated the entire game on a team of her own...Colleen has high confidence in her ability to charm away any suspicions surrounding her, especially attached to lovable Kim. Skating by isn't something to bank on though, and Colleen has the raw power to back up any potential slip-up that might land her in the Elimination Zone.”

During the MTV show, Colleen didn't want people to know that she was on The Mole because she thought that it wouldn't make people trust her. However, her plan backfired as she opened up about being on the show to one of the cast members who told the others. This led to the cast members mistrusting her because she lied.

Colleen and Kim were eliminated in The Challenge Ride or Dies episode 5, titled, Royal Relay by Jakk and Laurel. However, that wasn't the only time they were in the Elimination zone. Once their secret was discovered, they quickly became a target, prompting them to be in two eliminations. While they won the first challenge of the season, they were safe in episodes 2 and 3.

They were unsafe in episode 4 and competed against Big Brother personalities Analyse and Tommy during Flipping Wasted. Ultimately, during the elimination zone in episode 5, Give Me Some Slack, the German players were eliminated.

As part of their last challenge, the teammates were tied on opposite sides of the wall. One wall had colored symbols, while the other side had patterns of the same symbols. The teams were tasked with communicating to ensure that their partners could recreate the pattern on a small board.
