Season 4 features 25 competitors, including "old-school legends, modern power players, redemption-seekers, and ex-lovers," who are vying for $300,000 in Cape Town, South Africa. As we prepare for this exhilarating journey, let's take a look at the cast to see which fan-favorite veterans and relatively new faces are in the running!

Adam Larson's stint on Road Rules: The Quest catapulted him into the competitive arena, where he notched up three seasons on The Challenge, clinching victory in Real World/Road Rules Challenge: The Gauntlet. However, it's been a considerable stretch since his last presence on the competitive stage, notably in 2005's The Gauntlet 2.

Averey Tressler gained fame through her appearance on The Real World: Portland, subsequently participating in two seasons of The Challenge. Her last endeavor was on Rivals III, where she was disqualified when her teammate Leroy Garrett suffered a pinched nerve in his back, rendering him unable to continue.

Jay Mitchell, best known for being an initial cast member on Real World: Ex-Plosion, has ventured into The Challenge franchise only once before Season 4 of All-Stars — and that was almost a decade ago! Let's hope he's ready to bring his A-game to the competition this time around.

Season 5 of Are You the One? introduced Kam Williams to audiences, setting the stage for her remarkable journey across five seasons of The Challenge. Throughout her tenure, she has showcased her prowess, reaching the finals in Vendettas, War of the Worlds 2, and Double Agents, the latter being her most recent endeavor.

In 1998, Kefla Hare appeared on Road Rules: Down Under — merely a year later, he emerged as the champion in Season 2 of The Challenge, aka Real World vs. Road Rules. Fast forward 25 years later, and the burning question remains: Will Kefla manage to uphold his undefeated streak?

Laurel Stucky burst onto the scene on The Challenge: Fresh Meat II, clinching second place alongside her teammate, Kenny Santucci. Her talent in the game led her to participate in six more seasons, ultimately claiming victory in Free Agents. Her most recent appearance was on Ride or Dies in 2022.
