The third season of The Challenge All-Stars is currently airing on MTV as of September 11, 2018. The format of the series has remained mostly unchanged in the past two decades, with the exception of a few minor tweaks here and there. The Challenge has always been a high-stakes competition, and the seasons are never any different. The first two seasons of The Challenge All-Stars followed the original eight-episode format of the main series, with the same team of players competing against each other week after week. The All-Stars format has not changed significantly with regards to gameplay either. Participants are placed into teams, and they must compete against one another in physical, endurance, and obstacle challenges. The teams are often comprised of friends and past competitors, and some of them are virtual friends as well. With that in mind, where are the cast members of The Challenge All-Stars now? Read on to find out.

Dear Maria Sorbello
You probably don’t remember me, but I was there when Johnny won his first Challenge. I was a fan at the time, and I had always been a fan of your work.
I reached out to you after your time on All-Stars and told you how much I admired your spirit and tenacity. You responded graciously, saying that you were happy to have been able to represent the Challenge in good faith.
I’m writing this letter to say thank you for all that you’ve done for me and for the show. You’re one of my favorite people on MTV, and I know that if it wasn’t for you being allowed back on The Challenge, we would be missing out on what is arguably the best thing about the series–the personal connection between players and fans.
Thank you so much for sticking with us through the years. We owe our fandom’s childhood memories to you, and we hope that you will stick around forever! Love always xoxo
