It’s been a couple years since The Real World: Portland, Jordan made the jump to MTV competition show The Challenge on Rivals II. Jordan was teamed up with his Real World castmate and grudge Marlon Williams, and the pair impressed viewers by making it to the final on their rookie season. Though Marlon was never seen on The Challenge again, Jordan returned to the show and became an intimidating competitor.
Jordan has made it to the final on nearly every season he’s ever been on, and he’s won three of the four finals he’s competed in. He also dominated throughout the rest of each season, racking up a whopping 21 daily challenge wins and coming out ahead in seven of the nine eliminations he’s been in. Jordan quickly gained a reputation as a Challenge competitor that cast didn’t want to up against. Though Jordan also gained a reputation as a poor sport and has amassed several vendettas in the game, not all of his castmates have a grudge against him. Jordan struck up a romance with Tori Deal and on War of the Worlds II, he proposed to her in front of the rest of the cast. The last time viewers saw Jordan, he was competing on Total Madness and didn’t win or make it to the final.
Just because Jordan hasn’t been on The Challenge for a few seasons doesn’t mean he’s let himself go. In fact, Jordan has been training harder than ever and is in amazing shape. In September, 2021 Challenge host T.J. Lavin would say, Jordan killed it and finished 23rd out of 1,100 racers. However, Jordan hasn’t had the same success in his love life. In November 2020, Jordan announced on Instagram that he and Tori called off their engagement and split up. Though there were rumors Tori had cheated on Jordan with castmate Fessy Shafaat, Jordan commented that “despite any rumors that have been started, our separation is not because of any bs 'scandal.' We are just two people who love each other deeply but are both battling with our own struggles and happiness.”
Jordan has kept busy in other ways as well, including managing the clothing company he founded in 2018. Strapped, a designer apparel brand based in Los Angeles, is Jordan’s baby, and he’s listed as Founder and Creative Director for the denim-based clothing brand. Jordan also recently traveled to Ukraine, like his Challenge castmate Johnny Bananas, to aid in Ukrainian defense efforts against Russia. In an Instagram post Jordan commented that “the continued attacks against civilians is something I will not stand by and watch,” and it’s clear he felt compelled to do something about it. Since arriving in Ukraine with an NGO called Foreign United Peoples, Jordan has worked as a driver, taking supplies to both soldiers and civilians. He’s helped to distribute food, clothing, and power generators, as well as assisting in evacuating refugees.
Many fans were thrilled to learn that Jordan will be part of the All Stars 3 cast—a spin-off that has been severely lacking real all-star cast . But Jordan isn’t the only legend to be returning to The Challenge, as Wes Bergmann will be competing on All Stars 3 as well. Jordan has always been a strong competitor, and even though he’s been out of the game for several seasons, he’s kept training and seems to have become a better and more well-rounded player. His castmates in the season will have to work extra hard if they want to beat this three-time champion.
