“We’ve chosen the toughest players in 40 seasons” … Josh in the cast .. lol

[@nopeninja9765]

😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣!!!!

[@aaronlishus897]

Because Josh is emotional, that means he's not tough? Because he always end up sitting well in the game in like every season he's been on.

[@yendaaaa]

HA! 😩🤭🤭

[@daniellerose1114]

@LadyA408 better him than survivor Jay! At least he doesn't gaslight people and pretend to like them for his own personal gains!

[@colick8584]

​@@aaronlishus897 It's easy to have a good social game when you suck, people will obviously align themselves with people they can beat in the final. Josh is what? 1-8 in eliminations, and his one win was against the smallest guy in challenge history 😂 he's not even close to being one of the toughest players in 40 seasons.

This shows you just how much CT is beloved by the fandom. Most of the comments are about him being back and also people wishing him well after seeing that clip of him being injured. Hopefully it wasn't too serious, we need for CT to win this season of the challenge, he's the GOAT of the challenge. If he doesn't then have either Cara Maria or Bananas win it.

Pretty insane to see a S40. I literally watched this as a kid from the very beginning, going back to Real World and Road Rules.

Here’s my take on the certain people wearing black shirts instead of their team color. I’m pretty confident about this. In the trailer he says “choose your targets from each era”. Who knows how many targets get chosen, maybe 1 guy 1 girl, either way, I bet they wear black shirts as the “targets” from each era. Who knows what this entails but this seems most likely.
