It’s hard to assess the abbreviated career of Rogan.
After a flameout in the opening mission of Vendettas, it seemed like Rogan’s Challenge career would be just one episode.
But he was brought back three seasons later on War of the Worlds 2, where he quickly gained control of Team UK. With protection from Paulie on the US side and strong allies like Joss, Dee, Kayleigh and CT on UK, Rogan was able to stroll into the final without seeing an elimination.
He became the fifth person to go from getting eliminated first in their first season to becoming a Challenge champion, joining Evelyn, Johnny Bananas, Cara Maria and Rachel Moyal.
Rogan returned on Total Madness and had another good season. He won the opening mission and beat Jay and Nelson in eliminations to make the final. However, he had a lackluster showing in the final and went out on day one in an elimination against Bananas.
Rogan is obviously physically strong and he’s shown a good head for the political game, but the sample size just isn’t there to put him higher.
