The Challenge Season 40 is still filming, and spoilers have yet to reveal who competed in or won the latest final.
However, spoilers revealed surprising eliminations, including former finalists and champions ousted from the game. That’s likely due to alliances, backstabbing, and betrayals.
In recent seasons, many viewers have expressed frustration over a group known as the Vacation Alliance.
That particular group of castmates tends to take off-season vacations together and then typically works together during the next season of The Challenge they’re on.
Based on recent rumors online, another alliance may have formed following several cast members’ eliminations from Season 40.

The Challenge: All Stars 4 brought back familiar faces from MTV’s past, including a champion looking for another win and former finalists looking to win their first version of the competition show.
Former Real World: Skeletons star Nicole Zanatta was among those former finalists, who many consider a threat to win the spinoff season.
Viewers saw her appear in the final in two out of three seasons for MTV’s show, and an unfortunate injury disqualified her from continuing towards another final in her third season.
Now, she’s back for the fourth season of All Stars, where she contends with show winners Cara Maria Sorbello, Brad Fiorenza, and Rachel Robinson.
There’s also former winner Laurel Stucky, who happens to be Nicole’s ex, adding another complexity to focusing on the game.
During a recent appearance on the Zach Nichols Podcast, she shared why she has difficulty winning a final.

The Challenge introduced plenty of stars to viewers throughout its 39 seasons, including Nany Gonzalez.
The beloved cast member debuted on MTV’s The Real World: Las Vegas in 2012 and then became a regular on the competition series.
Her most recent appearance came during The Challenge: Ride or Dies, where she reached another final, this time alongside Johnny Bananas, the show’s winningest competitor.
Unfortunately, Nany and Bananas came up short, losing to eventual champions Tori Deal and Devin Walker.
Since then, viewers haven’t seen Nany on any version of The Challenge, whether it be MTV’s regular seasons or one of the spinoffs like All Stars.
Rumors have suggested that she may not be interested in a return to the franchise right now.
However, a producer recently praised the longtime cast member, indicating he knew she’d be a star despite being “rough around the edges” initially.

The Challenge winner, Zach Nichols, delivered his latest take on the competition series, which many viewers may agree with.
He last competed on MTV’s War of the Worlds 2 season, where he stayed under the radar and worked with Team USA under the guidance of Paulie Calafiore, Cara Maria Sorbello, and others.
During that season, they ran a large alliance in the game, eliminating former show winners Johnny Bananas and Laurel Stucky.
Ultimately, Cara, Paulie, Zach, and others from Team USA reached the final, which was most of the plan. Unfortunately, they lost it to a Team UK squad featuring Ct Tamburello and Jordan Wiseley.
In his latest podcast episode, Zach discussed how alliances hurt the show and make it less entertaining.
He mentioned how he felt the show’s landscape could change with more people working together under different circumstances.

The Challenge: Battle For a New Champion crowned just one winner as its champion at the end of the final.
While Emanuel Neagu was the Season 39 winner after crossing the finish line first, many viewers and fans feel Nurys Mateo should have been named a winner.
Of the cast members who qualified for the final, she had been the only one who entered any eliminations before getting there.
Nurys won two in a row, eliminating four of her castmates before reaching the final, which seemed to indicate she earned it more than her fellow finalists.
In addition, she crossed the finish line at the final in second place, before Colleen Schneider, Berna Canbeldek, or Corey Lay, and many fans feel a woman should have also won Season 39.
Former show winner Derrick Kosinski agrees with that notion, as he recently commented on how the season ended, even comparing Nurys to a few of his Og castmates.

Jag Bains made history on “Big Brother 25” Sunday night when he claimed his seventh Power of Veto, passing Michael Bruner‘s previous record of six he set just last year. Unlike Michael, Jag was able to secure a place in the season finale which will air Thursday, November 9 on CBS.

The golden Power of Veto was introduced at the end of “Big Brother” season 3 and has since become a staple in the CBS reality TV competition. It allows the owner to remove one of the nominees for eviction from the block. The Pov also guarantees the holder safety should one of the nominees be removed. Unless there is some sort of twist, the Head of Household must choose a replacement nominee for whoever is taken off the block.
In weekly competitions, six houseguests compete for the Power of Veto: the Head of Household, the two nominees, and three other houseguests chosen by random draw. So you see, if you aren’t on the block, it takes a bit of luck to compete. So who are the most successful Pov competitors of all time? Scroll through our photo gallery to see the 28 houseguests who have won at least three times during their respective seasons.

Season 25 of “Big Brother” kicks off with a live 90-minute episode on CBS August 2. It will likely begin with the first Head of Household competition, granting someone with a distinct advantage as the houseguests get to know each other. The Hoh will choose two people to go on the block for eviction, both of whom can ultimately save themselves with the Power of Veto. But what is the Power of Veto? And who has won the most in Bb history?
The golden Power of Veto was introduced at the end of “Big Brother” season 3. It allows the owner to remove one of the nominees for eviction from the block. The Pov also guarantees the holder safety should one of the nominees be removed. Unless there is some sort of twist, the Head of Household must choose a replacement nominee for whoever is taken off the block.

The Challenge: World Championship episode 5 ended with a stalemate that resulted in Ben Driebergen and Kaycee Clark seemingly getting blindsided into elimination. Ben might have unintentionally put them in the Arena by not voting for Jordan Wiseley and Kaz Crossley, as he previously told Danny McCray. However, it’s possible Ben didn’t cause the stalemate because Jodi Weatherton claimed it would have been prevented if one of her allies voted with her and Team Australia.
