Ouch! This doesn’t look good. MTV dropped the trailer for The Challenge Season 40. There’s a lot of drama, but the biggest takeaway is that it shows CT Tamburello, AKA Castle Daddy, getting carried out on a stretcher. After all of these years competing in The Challenge, did he finally meet his match?
In case you missed it, MTV is celebrating the landmark 40th season of The Challenge by doing a Battle of the Eras, bringing 40 competitors from across the show’s entire run. They’re grouped into teams based on the “era” they joined the show. The winners will take home $ 1 million, but based on the trailer, it doesn’t look like that’s going to be CT.
Did the Battle of the Eras take out CT?
In the trailer, you see CT getting carted away on a stretcher after taking a fall during a challenge. He hollered out, “My back! I’m trying to move,” as he entered an ambulance. It’s definitely not how we’re used to seeing him.
Outside of CT’s apparent medical scare, there seem to be plenty of other heart-pounding moments in store. They have these folks hanging off of skyscrapers, flinging themselves off moving vehicles, and all sorts of other death-defying things that we love to watch other people do.
Plus, what would The Challenge be without a few twists? Season 40 is about to have plenty of them. Although he’s competed dozens of times, even Johnny Bananas seemed thrown off by the unpredictable gameplay.
“Every time we turn around, there’s another twist,” he blurted out in the trailer.
Allegedly, some of the twists in the competition were happening behind the scenes. Jordan Wiseley, who is representing Era 3 of the show, recently called out the production for treating the cast poorly. One of his castmates claimed they couldn’t even get properly fitting shoes when they were filming.
Although the upcoming season of The Challenge might have been a mess behind the scenes, the trailer looks promising. After 40 seasons, they know what they’re doing.
The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras premieres Wednesday, August 14 at 8/7c on MTV.
