The Challenge 42 cast is already playing the game, and people are being eliminated.
A new season is filming in Thailand, where the players are competing for a nice cash prize.
As previously reported by Tea on TV, many members of The Challenge 42 cast have been revealed.
We don’t know everyone. Yet. But those names will slowly trickle out of Thailand.
Spoilers have also revealed the first elimination. It’s a bit shocking after how they did during their first time on The Challenge.
The Challenge 42 boot list revealed
Below is the boot list for The Challenge 42. This is the list of eliminated players. It’s going to get much longer as the season progresses.
The first person sent packing was Cedric Hodges. The former Big Brother houseguest was also on Vets & New Threats. He was a finalist on that season of The Challenge, winning a $12,500 prize.
It was great news to see Cedric invited back, but his stay was much shorter this time. That’s always a risk with a reality competition show.
Cedric wasn’t alone on the boot list for very long.
Reilly Smedley from Big Brother 25 just joined him.
This would be Reilly’s first season of The Challenge. After playing Big Brother in Summer 2023, Reilly was immediately in the rumors about The Challenge.
Big Brother targeted? It’s certainly possible. We will have to wait to find out about that.
It’s also worth noting that Cedric and Reilly did poorly on Big Brother. They were both eliminated before the jury phase began on their respective seasons.
Here’s the boot order for The Challenge 42:
- First elimination: Cedric Hodges from Big Brother 26 and The Challenge: Vets & New Threats
- Second elimination: Reilly Smedly from Big Brother 25.
- Third reported elimination: Brad Fiorenza from The Real World: San Diego. It’s unclear if he was next, but he has been sent home.
- Nurys Mateo from Are You the One? was the fourth name revealed. That leak came on March 14.
- The fifth person out is Keanu Soto. The Big Brother alum reportedly didn’t last long.
- Sydney Segal from Survivor is now out.
- Deb Chubb from Love Island USA is also done.
- Nelson Thomas from Are You the One? was also added to the elimination list
- Update: Cory Wharton from Real World: Ex-Plosion is out.
- Now, Izzy Fairthorne from Too Hot to Handle is done.
- Leonardo Dionicio from Love Island USA out.
- Josh Goldstein from Love Island USA done.
- Chris Underwood from Survivor eliminated.
- Anna Leigh Wilson from The Amazing Race done.
- Justin Hinsley from Cheer out.
*Expect updates. More names are coming*
Also, some of the players above were disqualified. That shocking information came out recently.
Below are images of Cedric as a rookie on The Challenge.
Reilly shared a post in October about enjoying the fall.
“One million apple pies coming right UP,” she wrote, posing with apples.
