Shocked that the USA franchise got a second season didn't think it did so well in the ratings.
Shocked to see some of the regular MTV cast on this season as the first season was all fresh faces to the franchise.
Hoped to never see Josh or Faysal EVER.
Well at least it will be nice to see Josh and Faysal not make another final.
Starting to feel the same way about Tori. For her precious mental health the child needs a long vacation.
Amanda and Faysal on the same season. This should be interesting.
Jonna the Queen. Hope she has a smarter partner this season.
You know it might be fun to see a season of Brain & Brawns, with a brain partnered with an idiot.

You know it might be fun to see a season of Brain & Brawns, with a brain partnered with an idiot. Yeah, I don't like that they're having "regulars" on the Challenge USA. I feel like this is to find new, fresh faces. Not ones we keep seeing season after season. And toxic Amanda??? Ughhhhh. Cannot stand her. Even though Tiffany, & Alyssa L. were on the first season of Challenge USA, I'm glad to see them back! And even though Michaela was on one of the regular seasons of the Challenge, I'm really excited to see her again since she was one of the first people to leave because Emy snitched on her for having a list.  Good move for Emy, I guess, since she made it to the end, but it sucked for me as a Michaela fan. Let's see if Michele is still a messy player like she has been every other time she's played.  Yeah, I don't understand why Tori doesn't take a break. If she is having emotional health issues, this game CANNOT be good for it. It seems like it could be a trigger to start spiraling. But who am I? I deal with anxiety & depression & there are certain things I do my best to avoid because they're triggers. Some triggers I can't avoid/control, so I'm still working on ways to navigate them, even at my age! Damn, even typing that made me feel a twinge of sadness. |

I really liked her on Spies, Lies, and Allies and her spicy commentary up to a point and it got nasty and then I didn't like her. I am always surprised but with a decent partner she can win dailies and could have won a final but Zach was her partner and we all saw what happened. I saw a commercial this week with CBS showcasing Big Brother, The Challenge: USA 2, and The Amazing Race as their big three shows for summer 2023. |

Faysal, Josh, Paulie? I’m hoping they will all have early exits. I guess Faysal’s “gofundme and I’ll never appear on another Challenge season” - didn’t work out  |

I’m looking forward to watching, but boy there’s some people on this upcoming season who were completely annoying on Survivor and Big Brother. I imagine there being lots of clashes and drama between some of these folks.

How many minutes in before Fessy pisses someone off. Will Paulie and Bananas butt heads? I can see an automatic alliance between Wes, Bananas, and Paulie to get rid of the Blue Team. |

Well Tori started it and Amanda is just going on and on and on and on. If Tori can't handle vicious comments on Twitter she shouldn't start feuds. Isn't Tori supposed to be protecting her mental health? So why even be on Twitter? Like Twitter is a safe space when you have mental health issues. So was Tori lying about her mental health? Is she cured now? |

FYI: Cast Breakdown: www.youtube.com/watch?v=-cUvBkbE-38 Lessons Learned by Challengers: www.youtube.com/watch?v=wp2Hx9A7r48Meet the Cast: Big Brother: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJeQn78YQGo
Thoughts:
In the Lessons Learned video Tori mentions and she has also done this on other videos that there are only 6 Challenge Vets. Huh, what about Fessy, Josh, and Paulie? They have all been on multiple seasons of the Challenge yet in the cast videos they are put under the Big Brother label.
Amazing Race (2) Dusty Luis
Survivor (7) Chris Sebastian Cassidy Chanelle Desi Michaela Michelle
Challenge Vets (6) Cory Bananas Wes Amanda Jonna Tori
Big Brother (9) Fessy Josh
Monte Paulie Tyler Alyssa L Alyssa S Ameerah Tiffany

I noticed all the teams have 4 players who have had Challenge experience and 4 players who are rookies to the franchise.
BLUE TEAM
Cory Wharton - RW Ex-Plosion
Tori Deal - AYTO?: Season 4
Sebastian Noel - Survivor: Ghost Island
Faysal "Fessy" Shaafat - Big Brother: Season 20
Chris Underwood - Survivor: Edge of Extinction
Alyssa Lopez - Big Brother: Season 23
Alyssa Snider - Big Brother: Season 24
Cassidy Clark - Survivor: Season 43
Team Blue is going to have the most problems I think with leadership as you have Tori, Fessy, and Cory on and as long time challenge fans know they all get along so well. snick snick. That and looks as if no strategists on this team.

I would like to see how he performs when he is in good health. In the world championships it looks as if all of the players were sick as some point in the season. |

Good move for Emy, I guess, since she made it to the end, but it sucked for me as a Michaela fan. 
hooked up during the season. Ughhhh hopefully they edit any of that out, if in fact true.
