Many fans watching The Challenge Season 38 didn’t expect to see Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio and Nany González. The team joined the cast after the first elimination sent Kailah Casillas and Sam Bird packing, and their entrance certainly changed the game. Now, the veteran players have even more numbers, which could spell major trouble for the rookie players.

“We walk out and we see the cast and I’m just like, oh my gosh,” Nany said in an interview posted to The Challenge Twitter. “We’re doing this, we’re back.”

It was an anxiety-filled moment, it really was,” Johnny concurred.

The rest of the cast has a range of feelings about the duo. “I was excited,” Michele Fitzgerald said. “I’ve never played with Bananas, and I’m a big Challenge fan.

“The Challenge to me doesn’t feel the same without Nany,” Laurel Stucky said. “I love her here. She is a true friend of mine, and I can tell her anything. And it just makes things feel better to have Nany around.”

Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio is a seven-time champion of MTV’s The Challenge, but Nany González has never won a season. She’s made it to the finals of Free Agents, Doubles Agents, and Spies, Lies, and Allies, and she’s hoping her partnership with Johnny will help her obtain her first win.

So, how far does the duo get? According to The Challenge Season 38 spoilers posted to Reddit, Johnny and Nany get second place in the competition. While they make it far, they come up slightly short of the winners.

It also looks like the two never face an elimination. The spoilers note the elimination pairings throughout the season, and Nany and Johnny get away unscathed and head straight to the final. Additionally, in episode 2, they win the daily elimination, showing they’re a huge threat to win.
