The filming for the 17th season of the challenge has just begun!

Here is the cast:

Aneesa - RW Chicago
Katie - RR The Quest
Rachel - RR Campus Crawl
Robin - RW San Diego
Brooke - RW Denver
Jenn - RW Denver
Paula - RW Key West
Diem - Fresh Meat
Tori - RR Viewers' Revenge
Shauvon - RW Sydney
Kimberly - RW Hollywood
Brittini - RW Hollywood

Mark - RR USA (Season 1)
Adam - RW Paris
CT - RW Paris
Brad - RW San Diego
Landon - RW Philadelphia
Evan - Fresh Meat
Ryan - Fresh Meat
Eric - Fresh Meat
Davis - RW Denver
Derek - RR Viewers' Revenge
Dunbar - RW Sydney

This challenge will most likely air sometime in early 2009. If there are any cast changes, I will re-edit this post

LANDON!

that pretty much just made my night.

Aaron2005

Yeah, Landon, Ruthie & Mark were the most surprising to me

Sick And Twisted

So happy about Landon, Adam & Isaac! And Coral & Ruthie of course. This should be a classic.

Aaron2005

I've just heard that Coral isn't going to be on it. I've re-edited the first post

Jamie

OMG, SO excited!

Landon! Brad.

Where's my Abram?! He can never stay on a challenge anyway....

Thank you for the info Aaron!

Aaron2005

No problem Jamie. Just don't expect it to air until early next year

The only challenges that Abe makes it to the end of is the 3 Inferno challenges (he won Inferno 1 & 3, lost in the Inferno 2 final). All the other challenges he's been on, he gets voted off.

I like how they travel to different parts of the world to do these challenges.

Looks like Eric is back to redeem himself

Come on Parissa join in on thew fun

Woohoo, this looks like an awesome cast! I'm so excited - thanks for this info.

Do you mind if I edit the title though to Early 2009 or just 2009 or something though? Only cause it's a little confusing, to me anyways. I thought this was another thread for The Island, because I still consider now to be Fall 2008.

Aaron2005

Your welcome. I've re-edited the title. I only put Fall 2008 because that's the time it's being filmed

Yes! No Johnny Bananas, no Kenny and we get Ruthie, Aneesa and Katie

Landon being on this is like the most amazing thing ever! I love him so much.

I'm gonna miss Kenny and Johnny in this challenge but Landon makes up for them. Big Easy better not screw up again haha.

MethodicWays

^You know I never really blamed Big Easy. Essentially no one wanted to Challenge him so it was their teams' fault for letting him get as far as he did. I was actually more upset that the Vets managed to pull it out and make it to the end and dig up their flag first and TJ still gave it to the Rookies. That was a cop out.

Jamie

I'm SO glad Johnny is not on this challenge! I'm so tired of him!

I hope Eric goes home on this one...

Aaron2005

We'll TJ did say that everyone on the team had to cross the finish line in order for that team to win.

I will say that the rookies were lucky that this wasn't The Gauntlet 1 final. On that challenge final, a team could leave a person behind and take a 10-minute penalty. The Vets could've easily left Eric behind and finished the race way faster than the rookies, without being affected by the 10 minute penalty
