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.
Are the Big Brother alums being 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.
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.
More reality TV news and notes
Online rumors suggested this is another Vets vs New Threats season. We don’t have confirmation on a theme. Stay tuned.
The Challenge alums Jenna Compono and Zach Nichols are having a baby. Their family is about to get even bigger, which provides a good reason for them not be on The Challenge 42.
Two Challenge alums are on House of Villains 3. The new season has begun airing on Peacock, and it has already provided lots of drama.
