Cara Maria Sorbello made her highly-anticipated return for a season of The Challenge with the recent premiere of All Stars 4.
While she previously appeared on The Challenge: Battle For a New Champion on MTV, Cara hadn’t done a full season since War of the Worlds 2 in 2019.
That season, she participated in a major alliance that her boyfriend Paulie Calafiore set up with other players from Team UK.
It led to plenty of chaos and potential grudges from other cast members, and the duo wasn’t seen back on The Challenge until this year’s USA 2 and All Stars 4 spin-offs.
Paulie was the first to return on USA 2 and buried the hatchet with their rival Johnny Bananas. Cara showed up for MTV’s Season 39 as a mercenary – filmed after she’d completed filming for All Stars 4.

When MTV put The Challenge on their airwaves back in 1998, the idea was to assemble a group of former Real World and Road Rules cast members and pit them against each other for a cash prize. Nobody could have predicted the show would be going strong over a quarter century later with more than 500 episodes across 39 seasons, spinoffs shooting all over the globe, and a rabid fan base that obsesses over every detail of it on social media, web forums, podcasts, and even live Challenge Mania events where fans gather together to meet cast members.

[Spoiler Alert: Spoilers ahead for The Challenge: All Stars 4, including elimination matchups and the winner.]
The Challenge: All Stars 4 has seemingly concluded filming after six weeks in South Africa. Hosted by long-standing presenter T.J. Lavin, the theme doesn’t force the cast to couple up or compete in teams. Instead, the players alternate between solo, duos, or groups for every daily challenge.
This season reportedly features a variation of the star twist, which required the competitors to earn one by winning an elimination for entry to T.J.’s final. However, in All Stars 3, only six stars are distributed following the first challenge. According to the spoiler account PinkRose, if a player earns a star after winning one, they can steal from someone else and gift it to another competitor of the same gender. Similar to season 1, only one person will walk away as the champion.

Newcomers Horacio Gutiérrez and Olivia Kaiser delivered an impressive performance as a rookie-rookie pair in The Challenge: Ride or Dies. He tied the record with elimination wins, and they stood a chance to win had Olivia not suffered a freak accident. Are they the best rookie duo to compete in The Challenge? These three performances also have an argument.
Olivia Kaiser and Horacio Gutiérrez are one of the best rookie duos to compete in ‘The Challenge’
Soccer star and Exatlón Estados Unidos finalist Horacio Gutiérrez and Love Island USA winner Olivia Kaiser debuted on The Challenge: Ride or Dies as replacements for siblings Kaycee and Kenny Clark. They immediately found themselves nominated and got blindsided into elimination when Jay Starrett and Michele Fitzgerald reneged on their agreement to save them at the draw.
However, the house wanted their opponents Turbo Çamkıran and Tamara Alfaro gone and helped the rookies defeat the couple.
