7 Wins (The Island, The Ruins, Rivals, Battle of the Exes, Free Agents, Rivals III, Champs vs. Stars 2017) – Returning for his 20th season, Bananas is hungrier than ever to prove he's still got it after a six-season Finals drought. Known for being one of the game's most ruthless and renowned players, Bananas's recent stumbles can largely be attributed to a single source: Wes. "Archrivals" doesn't even begin to describe this pair's antagonistic relationship, but one has to wonder whether or not focusing so much energy on one individual has hampered Bananas's once-legendary gameplay. With a massive new game twist in the mix, will their blood feud have to take a back seat, or will the two continue to go at it -- even if it destroys them both?

Leroy's cousin Candice is a newbie to the fierceness of The Challenge. She fought alongside Leroy on Battle of the Bloodlines.

He went on to compete with his brother, Raphy, on Battle of the Bloodlines.

Emily debuted on Battle of the Bloodlines with her sister, Christina. Being a rookie didn't intimidate her, and she knew she would have to work to stand out.

This due diligence is just one of the many reasons why she shouldn't be taken for an easy target.

Jamie B. debuted on Battle of the Bloodlines to help out his cousin, Cara Maria, and returned to compete on Rivals III.

It's only a matter of time before Jenna scores a Challenge win. She's definitely hungry for a victory and thought she'd have an advantage when she competed on Bloodlines with her cousin Brianna.

Mitch made his Challenge debut when he tagged along with his cousin, Cory, to compete on Battle of the Bloodlines. Hailing from California, Mitch is a determined player who did his best to keep his cousin's head in the game. He may be used to Cory being the showrunner in their lives, but he has to step out of his cousin's shadow and perform well if he wants to take home the big money.

Nicole R. got her start on The Challenge alongside her cousin Nany on Battle of the Bloodlines. Although she may be small in stature, Nicole has proven she is headstrong and a tough competitor.

Raphy makes his debut on Battle of the Bloodlines to team up with his twin brother, Dario. Raphy has a sense of humor and good looks to boot, but don't get distracted by the handsome face.

Rianna is ready to look out for her partner to keep her eyes on the prize, but that doesn't mean she's immune to falling for her housemates.
