The Challenge: Vets vs. New Threats is premiering this month, featuring a variety of veteran stars and rookies competing to shine above their peers.
With a cast, there’s a wide variety of personalities, too, including longtime stars Chris “CT” Tamburello, Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio, Cara Maria Sorbello, and Ashley “Millionaire” Mitchell.
And then there’s Turabi “Turbo” Camkiran, who previously won War of the Worlds, got kicked off WOTW 2, and then returned to be an early elimination in Ride or Dies.
Most of those appearances involved Turbo clashing with castmates and nearly getting into physical altercations a few times.
However, his most recent appearance, All Stars 5, seemed to feature a mellowed-out version as he reunited with Nany Gonzalez for a Rivals theme, and they worked well together.
That said, he sent a bold message to castmate CT ahead of their potential feud from The Challenge Season 41.
Turbo called out CT in a Season 41 tease
Taking to Instagram on Sunday, July 13, Turbo shared a short video clip. It features his promotional photo for The Challenge: Vets and New Threats.
Each of the initial Season 41 photos shows a cast member in an action pose. For Turbo, he seemed to be running intensely. In his new IG clip, it’s now an animated version showing him running across the setting.
There’s loud music or sound effects, and a sound bite of Turbo and CT arguing from the Season 41 trailer.
“Be ready CT I’m coming for you,” Turbo wrote, including a fist emoji with his caption.
He’s tagged castmate Yeremi Hykle from The Amazing Race on the IG clip, suggesting that maybe Yeremi provided him with the audio he included.
It’s also possible that Yeremi used AI to create the animated clip for his castmate and sent it to him.
It’s not often we see someone suggest they’re going after CT, as they typically might be running the other way. After all, we’ve seen some of his earliest, more hostile seasons of The Challenge, where he did some damage to castmates.
Turbo and CT have a heated altercation during Season 41
The CT and Turbo feud seemingly originated while filming Vets and New Threats in Santiago, Chile.
About 50 minutes into The Challenge Season 41 trailer, CT is shown listening intently. The trailer footage then shows Turbo, shirtless, wearing dark shades.
“[For] some people it’s a dream to be here,” he says in the clip.
“I’ll come here whenever the f*** I want!” an unhinged CT seems to yell at Turbo from behind a counter.
MTV UK star Theo Campbell is standing between his two castmates. That might not be the best idea for Theo!
The trailer footage certainly piqued our curiosity about what set CT off to shout like that at Turbo, and also to see where this all goes. Will they coexist, or continue to feud throughout the episodes?
We’ve never seen a CT vs. Turbo battle on The Challenge. We’ve previously seen CT go at it with others, including his recent castmate, Faysal “Fessy” Shafaat.
We also know that the kitchen often becomes a battleground for the feuds on The Challenge. Was someone trying to make a pizza, or is there another issue between CT and Turbo?
Let’s also be clear: with the premiere weeks away, many cast members are entering promotional mode, whether it’s real or manufactured beef with castmates.
Everyone wants those calls for future seasons, and part of that is entertaining the fans.
It’s undoubtedly going to be an entertaining Season 41 to watch if CT vs. Turbo is a tease of the drama we’ll have!
The Challenge: Vets & New Threats premieres Wednesday, July 30, at 8/7c on MTV.
