The Challenge has a way of bringing back fan favorites and somehow having it seem like years have not passed since they were last involved in some drama. Though it’s been close to a decade since Trishelle Cannatella graced MTV, the star is returning for the newest season of The Challenge: All Stars, and her grudge with a fan favorite is still alive and well.

Trishelle Cannatellaon on ‘The Real World: Las Vegas”

Cannatella first appeared on the 12th season of The Real World. She and the rest of the housemates lived in a casino in Las Vegas for several months. During that time, Cannatella was in her early twenties and trying to figure out herself and her sexuality. Early on in the season, she began hooking up with her recently divorced housemate, Steven Hill.

After The Real World: Las Vegas, Cannatella appeared on four seasons of The Challenge; The GauntletThe Inferno, Battle of the Seasons (2012), and Rivals II. Since then, she has changed a bit.

How has Trishelle changed?

Since fans last saw Cannatella, she has definitely grown.

“I want to say that I’ve calmed down a bit, but if you watch the challenge, you’ll see that I’m still kind of feisty,” she told Entertainment Tonight. “I think I’ve changed in the fact that you won’t see me hooking up with people on TV anymore because I’m married and I love my husband, but I’m still the same person. I’m still wild. I still have a feisty personality. I have a good time. So I wouldn’t say too much has changed. I have not lost my edge in my age.”

It’s not just Cannatella who has changed, several of the other All Stars cast members have grown up as well.

“There are people that are on the new show that are in their fifties, but it doesn’t mean that they’re not as athletic or dramatic or anything like that,” she continued. “I mean, I think even more so, because it’s been so long and maybe they are bored at home with their married lives and their kids. And so they came to the Challenge and were like, ‘I’m going to let it all out.'”

Who is Trishelle Cannatella feuding with on ‘The Challenge: All Stars’?

Time doesn’t necessarily heal all wounds. When Cannatella was on The Challenge: Rivals II, she and Aneesa Ferreira got into a fight. The two did not speak or air out their grievances prior to both coming on All Stars.

“That was something that my stomach was in pits when I found out that she was going to be there because I was just like, wow, this is going to be an actual face-to-face conversation that we’re going to have,” Cannatella said. “And so I knew that it was going to come. I knew that it was something that I didn’t want to hide from, and I couldn’t hide from. And so we do have that discussion and I’m hoping that they show it. I would say, look out for that.”

Cannatella’s former castmates Alton Williams and Arissa Hill will also be back for All-Stars, along with some fan favorites like Ace Amerson, Eric “Big Easy” Banks, Mark Long, KellyAnne Judd, and Katie Cooley. The Challenge: All Stars is currently streaming on Paramount +
