Location: Marbella, Spain

Host: TJ Lavin

Aired: 2018

Champion: Cara Maria

Overall Thoughts: In the second installment of the trilogy (that nobody yet knew was a trilogy), The Challenge decided to re-write the dictionary with Vendettas.

Instead of having a vendetta against each other, challengers were called each others “vendettas” in what is by far the lamest version of a “Rivals” season ever.

I know some people think of Vendettas as the best season of the trilogy, but I’m not really sure why.

Despite a couple iconic moments, this season is mostly boring, filled with a lot of forgettable daily challenges, some poor eliminations, and one of the least drama-filled seasons in recent years.

MEMORABLE MOMENTS

  • Cory and Nelson’s horrendous performance in Balls of Fire
  • Kam and Melissa’s fight
  • Tony’s performance in the Food Wars mission
  • Sylvia and Melissa’s Oil and Water elimination
  • The note scandal
  • Pizza Gate
  • Leroy’s fall in the Car Crash mission
