Meet the Hot Reality TV Legends Competing on 'The Challenge: USA'

Legends only!

As Gia Gunn once said on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 4, “This is a place for legends, O?”

CBS has just kicked off its brand-new series The Challenge: USA, which is a spin-off from the long-running MTV competition show The Challenge. Over the years, The Challenge has established a very dedicated and diverse fanbase that includes several LGBTQ+ viewers.

What once started as a crossover series between The Real World and Road Rules has become a reality TV staple over time for numerous reality TV stars of different franchises. The core MTV show is known for bringing back a lot of familiar faces in recent seasons, and most of those cast members come from other competitive TV shows and are somewhat familiar with one another.

Alas, CBS has taken a rather different approach for the first-ever edition of The Challenge: USA. For this particular series, only former stars from CBS reality shows have been cast. This includes former contestants from franchises such as Survivor, Big Brother, The Amazing Race, and Love Island USA. It should be noted, though, that Love Island USA has been moved from CBS to Peacock. In turn, CBS is now launching a brand-new dating show called The Real Love Boat.

When it comes to the LGBTQ+ community, The Challenge: USA has cast members such as James Wallington, Kyra Green, and Cely Vazquez. With such an exciting cast full of familiar faces, it’s time to discover which 14 women and 14 men have been cast on The Challenge: USA, as well as which shows they’re best known for.

Scroll through to find out which reality TV legends have been cast on The Challenge: USA, which airs every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET on CBS.
