MTV’s ‘The Challenge: Vendettas’ Reveals New Cast Members 12.07.2017 MTV revealed the new players who will join The Challenge: Vendettas when the show returns for season 31 on January 2. Stars from MTV's U.K. series Ex on the Beach and Geordie Shore, along with contestants from Big Brother will join The Challenge cast, which includes familiar faces such as Johnny Bananas" Devenanzio and Cara Maria Sorbello, as they travel to Spain "to pursue their personal vendettas against one another." This season, each of the 28 players are out solely for themselves, not their team, with only one winner competing for a final prize that may exceed $500,000. The winners of each challenge will receive money for their individual bank accounts, but once players are eliminated, their money is added to the final prize pot. In a twist, "grenades" will be awarded to players surviving grueling elimination rounds, giving them a chance to get back at anyone else in the house they may have a vendetta against, MTV says. With everyone out for themselves, players will be able to shake up the drama, doubt and deception with tactics such as stealing an entire bank account from another player, forcing players to be shackled together during another challenge or selecting players to stay up the entire night before a challenge. The Challenge: Vendettas was created for MTV by Bunim/Murray Productions. Gil Goldschein, Julie Pizzi, Scott Freeman and Justin Booth serve as executive producers, and Jack Reifert and Danny Wascou serve as co-executive producers. Here are the 28 cast members as described by MTV, who will compete against one another when The Challenge:Vendettas premieres.
