Every Season of The Challenge, Ranked: #28 — Vendettas

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.
