Set to drop Thursday, November 11 exclusively on Paramount+, The Challenge: All Stars Season 2 will welcome back 24 cast members from the show’s long history, including players who haven’t competed in more that 20 years. With past relationships that run deep and competitive streaks that never die, they will have to overcome the obstacles both in and out of the game to take home the win.

Episodes of The Challenge: All Stars Season 2 will drop weekly on Thursdays on Paramount+. Yes Duffy took home the grand prize on the debut season of The Challenge: All Stars. The mothership series’ Season 37 will take place in Croatia.
The Challenge: All Stars was created for MTV Entertainment Studios by Bunim/Murray Productions. Julie Pizzi, Justin Booth and Mark Long serve as executive producers, and Diego Amson and Chris Ray as co-executive producers. Katie Gallagher and Kristen Bihr serve as supervising producers.

I'd say I want Casey to win, but I probably have a better shot of winning the lottery.

Wow, the men's side is stacked. I'd put them up against the current main Challenge cast. Also looking forward to another trip down Hatery Lane with Nia.
And while it's not my personal opinion, let's just get this Challenge thread requirement out of the way:

I'm shocked that there wasn't an elimination in the first episode. There's only ten episodes this season. Also, it's interesting that Mark Long wasn't in the credits since the show was his idea. He had an Executive Producer credit last season.
Casey, Melinda, and Janelle all still look amazing.

It's hilarious that the players seem to actually think that TJ is punishing them for not giving it their all by making every elimination a double elimination. Surely, they realize that double eliminations had to be planned from start. Hopefully, they're just playing along with the act and aren't actually that dumb.

Ayanna is a beast. She could probably beat Nehemiah in that elimination.
Casey looks like a million bucks. She just announced that she’s pregnant. Her fiancé outkicked his coverage.

The list feels like a jumping of the shark,looks just like a regulars who appeared in seasons 20-29 of the challenge and with endless amount of seasons under their belt . Feels like it is treating all stars is now the B List/Back Up for people who no longer can get cast on the challenge. Whats intruguing about all stars in seasons 1 and 2 is half the cast are people who had not been on the show in the last 15-20 years. Literally only 1-2 people from that leaked list are people who meet the same criteria in season 3.

I may be the only one still watching, but it was great to see Casey win her first individual challenge. She and Steve had a great strategy to get rid of Derrick, but I wish they would have sent in Jasmine to give Katie a decent shot at winning the elimination.

Episode 1 is airing tonight on MTV after the finale of Spies, Lies, and Allies if anyone doesn't have Paramount Plus and wants to check it out.

Damn! LT is a beast. He slammed Tyler in the post wrestle elimination. I hate that Kendal was disqualified. There's word out there that she caught Covid from a crew member.

"Was that a goat?" Man i was laughing so hard at that line. Yeah LT flips a switch in the poll wrestle, I think he broke a few of Ace's ribs last season.

I watched the two latest episodes this week. The Challenge is starting to have a very troubling history of pregnant women competing on the show.... Each of the last three seasons of the regular series and now All Stars...
Cohutta was screwed by Production. They let LT battle Tyler when Kendal was disqualified, but they sent Cohutta home when Casey was medically unable to compete. They obviously did it to save The King's Palace alliance. I'm so sick of them singing Save The Palace and dancing....

Jonna winning was good. It showed some redemption for all the shit she took on her original Challenges.
I wish they showed more of a tease for the next season.

I came across this video on YouTube. It seems to say that MJ and Jonna get some extra help from production at the end as well as some other fishy stuff that was going on.
