Viewers last saw Rogan O'Connor during season 35 of The Challenge entitled Total Madness. It was his second time making it to the final after winning The Challenge: War Of The Worlds 2. But on Total Madness, Rogan finished in fifth place. Viewers haven't seen Rogan since Total Madness finished airing, and are wondering what he has been up to since then.
Rogan first gained fame through Ex on the Beach UK after starring on seasons two and three of the popular reality TV series. He then transitioned over to The Challenge just as MTV widened their casting pool to consider shows outside of the network. So far, he has competed in three seasons of the show: Total Madness, War of the Worlds 2, and Vendettas. He was eliminated in the very first challenge of Vendettas, but managed to prove himself as a competitor by making it to the final in both of his other seasons.
Since last competing, Rogan has taken a break and did not appear on The Challenge: Double Agents, although some viewers speculate that may not have been his decision. In July 2020, racially insensitive tweets from Rogan's past resurfaced (via Dee Nguyen, minimized the Black Lives Matter movement and was subsequently fired by MTV. With so much controversy arising all at once, some fans have speculated that the British reality star may have been temporarily banned from competing on the show.
Still, it's possible that fans will see Rogan return for future seasons, though he suggested in a recent Instagram Q&A that he may have had enough of the series (via Heavy). Though he's missing out on the income from The Challenge, Rogan owns his own clothing line, so that has likely been keeping him busy. He has now returned to the UK and bought a home. He's also dating someone new, though he hasn't yet posted about the mystery woman.
Even though he only competed on three seasons of the MTV show, it seems Rogan has had enough after making it to two finals back-to-back, with one of those being a win. Although he says he may never return to compete on another season of The Challenge, that can't be confirmed quite yet. After all, anything is possible. For now, viewers can keep up with him on all his social media platforms and keep hoping for a possible return, even if it is in the far future.
The Challenge airs Wednesdays at 8 pm ET on MTV.
