Johnny Bananas might be letting loose lips sink ships when it comes to his castmates from The Challenge: Vets and New Threats.
He returned for the new season, eager to return to another final and add an eighth championship. However, the veteran star’s time on the show was short-lived.
Among the new threats are rookies from Big Brother, including Blue Kim, Cedric Hodges, and America Lopez.
Bananas had the opportunity to team up with America just prior to his elimination in Season 41.
And since filming, he’s fired shots at castmates, including a former Big Brother star, suggesting she might be “embarrassed” about specific events.
Now he’s seemingly called out some of those events, possibly pushing America into damage control mode.
Bananas calls out Big Brother star’s Season 41 moments
Johnny Bananas might be off screens for the rest of Season 41, but he’ll continue broadcasting his opinions on social media and his podcast.
His latest edition was a two-hour session with former Challenge castmate and fellow podcaster Zach Nichols.
And during that session, he revealed America got messy on the cast’s bus ride after she became intoxicated.
Zach asked what he thought about drinking on The Challenge or sobriety.
“I think America needs to practice a bit more [sobriety],” he told Zach during the Death, Taxes and Bananas podcast.
Zach asked if he meant the country or the new Challenge rookie from Vets and New Threats.
“Actually she should drink more, too, because the best night she had was the night when she got annihilated, and made out with like four f***ing people,” Bananas said, adding, “Tried to hook up with CT [Tamburello], making out with Dee on the bus.”
“Those rumors are true? And she had a boyfriend,” Zach asked, with Bananas telling him “100 percent.”
America hasn’t been sharing much about The Challenge 41
Since becoming one of the new cast members on The Challenge: Vets and New Threats, America has been one of the few rookies not promoting or publicizing the show much.
Bananas previously suggested when chatting to another Big Brother star, Blue Kim, that America had a hard time on the show or a rough experience.
Blue said she didn’t know anything about that. Bananas seemed to think that America didn’t like participating in The Challenge overall, but he also left after four episodes.
America, a medical receptionist from Edinburg, Texas, first appeared on Big Brother 25 in 2023, along with Blue. The individual mentioned that was her boyfriend during Season 41 is fellow houseguest Cory Wurtenberger, with whom she had a showmance during BB 25.
Since MTV’s Vets and New Threats started airing, America hasn’t posted much about The Challenge on her Instagram or X accounts. She has seemingly been more focused on sharing thoughts about the new season of Big Brother.
As of this writing, America and Cory appear they are still a couple, and things are fine. However, Bananas’ recent confirmation of the rumors involving America, CT, and others could impact things, so stay tuned for potential reactions or fallout.
The Challenge: Vets and New Threats airs Wednesdays at 8/7c on MTV.
