With three finals in his first five seasons, Faysal has established himself as one of the best men on The Challenge.

He had a fairly quiet rookie season on Total Madness, but beat Jordan in Pole Wrestle, made two tribunals and had a good showing in the final until the very end, finishing second on day one and leading for a large portion of day two, ultimately faltering and finishing last among the guys.

On Double Agents, he won the opening individual mission and the first partner mission with Aneesa, then proceeded to lose the final 14 missions. He called out his friend Nelson and beat him in Hall Brawl, and also took out Kyle in the same elimination. His final was cut short due to Kaycee’s injury.

Fessy was off to a solid start on Spies, Lies & Allies, winning a pair of dailies with Esther, but was kicked off after an altercation with Josh.

Faysal had (in my opinion) his best season on Ride or Dies. He and Moriah won grueling missions in Build Me Up and Haul or Nothing, he and Kaycee won the Takes Two to Tango mission, and he easily defeated Nelson in the Spearheaded elimination and Jordan/Aneesa and Kaycee/Kenny in the Don’t Let Me Down elimination. After starting his career 5–0 in eliminations thanks in large part to favorable games, he got an elimination where his size was a disadvantage in Bridge It and lost to BaNany.

Fessy had another solid season on USA 2, winning two individual dailies and making it to the final while only getting two votes cast against him the entire season. But he again came up short in the final, placing last among the men.
