Chris "CT" Tamburello is the undeniable G.O.A.T. of The Challenge after taking home his fourth win on the Double Agents season, and he's thinking about competing on the All-Stars spin-off. Now at the age of 40, CT was considering throwing in the towel and retiring from the reality competition show. But with MTV recently premiering the spin-off, CT's retirement might have to be put on hold.
CT has become a familiar face on MTV for almost two decades. He made his inception back in 2003 as a controversial cast member on The Real World: Paris. The following year, he made his Challenge debut on The Inferno. During his early years on the show, CT built up a reputation as a hothead after being sent home a few times for fighting cast . His skill as a competitor was always undeniable. But the twists and turns that come with the game didn't always work in his favor. Over the years, CT has competed on the show a total of 21 times and came out on top six times, including his most recent win with Amber Borzotra.
Despite jabs at CT for having a "dad bod," the MTV star took home yet another victory on The Challenge. With a young son waiting for him back home, CT is possibly considering a show departure. "Look, I don't know how much longer I can do this," CT confessed to E! News. "I've always said if I don't honestly feel like I can compete, it'd be time for me to step down, let someone else take that slot that really deserves it." He compared his decision to his own father who refuses to play baseball in his own age group because of the lack of competition. "It reminds me of, like, I hate to say it, but, like, my old man," he explained. "He's in his 60's, but he doesn't play in 55-plus baseball league, he plays in the 30-plus because the 55-plus isn't competitive enough."
While many counted CT and Amber B. out early on in the season, during the final the duo completely outshined the other two teams and maintained a steady lead throughout the grueling race to the finish. "I have nothing else to prove," CT added. "I've had a good run." But as a natural competitor, CT is still hungry for more and reminiscing over the fun light-hearted Challenge days with the OG cast. "Now I know there's somewhere to go," CT said of possibly ing All-Stars. He confirmed that he would be "down" to the spin-off in future seasons.
With many of his friends competing on All-Stars, word had already gotten out on how much fun it was to film. "I heard it was amazing because it was a breath of fresh air coming from Double Agents, which was so intense," CT explained. "And this one felt like the old days where it was more laid-back, and people were just reminiscing and having fun." It looks like CT isn't done playing on The Challenge, the series that made him a household name and earned him loads of money.
