When it comes to stars of The Challenge, Chris “CT” Tamburello has quite the history on the show and with castmates.
The five-time champion is returning for yet another attempt to add to his wins on Vets and New Threats, but this time he has some tough opposition.
Among the Season 41 cast is a brand-new group of rookie competitors and other veterans hungry to win the final.
And many of those veterans are no stranger to drama and heated altercations, including Ashley “Millionaire” Mitchell and Turabi “Turbo” Camkiran.
After winning Survivor Turkey, Turbo made his debut in MTV’s The Challenge: War of the Worlds, where he won as a rookie.
With the upcoming season, hints of drama involving CT and Turbo have already popped up in trailer footage and been teased on social media by the latter. Now CT has broken his silence.
CT throws jabs at Season 41 castmate
The Challenge drama often continues beyond the show and onto social media, and it appears to have done just that with CT and Turbo.
Taking to Instagram this weekend, CT uploaded a video clip that was just a still photo with music playing called Turkish Vibes.
It features Turbo’s head on the body of the “Most Interesting Man” who appeared in the Dos Equis ads.
“๐ผDonโt Be Cloutโฆ Eat Clout.๐ต @turabi #StillHaveBabyTeeth,” CT wrote in his caption.
CT’s roasting of his castmate didn’t stop there, as he also fired off something at him in the Instagram post’s comments.
“Who wants to bet we will see a whole dis track w music video next from the Turkish Razor Ramon!? ๐” he commented.
CT’s post arrives after The Challenge Season 41 supertrailer, which featured the two castmates seemingly having a heated altercation in the kitchen area of The Challenge house.
Turbo has continued stirring things up online, as he fired a shot at CT on Instagram about whatever went down between them this season.
Castmates reacted to the CT vs. Turbo drama
As of this writing, CT’s Instagram post has over 3,400 likes and nearly 300 comments. Many of the reactions are from CT’s The Challenge castmates.
“Haven’t seen real beef like this since Eminem and MGK ๐๐,” The Godfather Mark Long commented.
“๐๐๐๐๐ I’m screaming,” wrote their castmate Aneesa Ferreira.
“๐๐๐ Mess with bullโฆ,” wrote Jordan Wiseley, who was involved in that heated confrontation where Turbo snapped on WOTW.
For his comment, CT and Turbo’s castmate Theo shared a funny GIF of The Count from Sesame Street.
Others who appeared in the Instagram comments included Ruthie Alcaide and Ace Amerson.
Several fans had strong opinions about the rumored drama involving CT and Turbo.
CT replied to a fan about the drama
“Now this I wanna see. Turbo is good but nowhere near CT in my eyes. Someone needs to put Turbo in his place. This had me in tears tho ๐๐๐๐,” an IG commenter said.
“Turbo needs to not come back! I get second hand embarrassment watching this guy! Terrible tv. I have watched every episode of every season but will refuse to watch when he is in it! So fucking uncomfortable watching him,” one fan commented.
That fan’s comment received a sincere reply from CT, and based on his response, things aren’t too bad between him and Turbo now.
“noโฆ he’s alright. Just having some fun. Can’t imagine this is anything seriousโฆ just reciprocating the fun banter,” The Challenge star commented on his IG post.
Three days ago, Turbo shared a clip of him and CT having a short interaction in the kitchen, with Theo standing between them. He also captioned it with more remarks about CT.
“Only CT and I have a subtitles, because I don’t know English and CT is just growling.ย #thechallenge41,” he wrote, which makes things seem like friendly banter.
We’ve seen Turbo involved in one situation that got him kicked off MTV’s reality competition show, but he’s returned for other seasons. The most recent was The Challenge: All Stars 5, where he teamed up with rival Nany Gonzalez.
Season 41 is Turbo’s first time back on MTV’s flagship show since Ride or Dies, which CT did not participate in.
Fans will soon find out what caused CT to blow up at Turbo or vice versa. Maybe they’ll settle things in a good ol’ fashioned Hall Brawl as part of a Vets and Threats banger!
The Challenge: Vets and New Threats premieres Wednesday, July 30 at 8/7c on MTV.
