Extra Notes
o There are quite a few notable omissions from this cast; particularly Turabi Camkiran, Georgia Harrison, Cara Maria Sorbello, and Paul Calafiore. Turbo has numerous media responsibilities in Turkey and has been rumored to be a production liability after his altercations this past season, so he makes to take at least a season off. Georgia had an off-screen controversy and apparently was offended by the manner the rest of the cast handled it. I don’t feel comfortable going into further detail, but feel free to google it and find out for yourself. One issue I initially also did not feel comfortable discussing was the one that supposedly kept Cara Maria and Paulie from appearing on the next season, but it has been discussed in the open enough to where I can make some commentary on it. Paulie made an Instagram video where he called out some other cast members while a Papa Roach song played in the background. Apparently, this in addition to some other actions Paulie has taken was used by a group of cast members to present him as psychologically unstable, and therefore unfit to appear on this season. In support of Paulie, Cara also elected to stay home and not appear on the season. Johnny is of course rumored to be the leader behind this, but who else was involved is up for question. Hunter Barfield went into detail about the incident on ChallengeMania with Derrick and Scott, so listen to their podcast for further details. Again, this is all speculation and I do not anticipate any official word on what exactly happened.
o Current reporting is the cast is living in a bunker in Prague and is not in their usual pristine conditions. Not sure what this entails exactly, but evidently there are some adverse living conditions in addition to the normal distresses of Challenge life.
