The next season of The Challenge is upon us and the War of the Worlds cast has been revealed. The lineup features your usual suspects (Hi, Bananas!) as well as some old faces... and a ton of new ones. MTV has continued to recruit rookies from other TV franchises for The Challenge , but rather than sprinkle them in like they've done over the past few seasons, each vet is getting a rookie of their own from a different franchise to partner through this season's endurance tests. It's basically the new version of Fresh Meat except instead of random strangers from the internet, it's reality show stars from around the world.
