#1. THE GUYS ( BATTLE OF THE SEXES 2)

Yes, while Coral, Arissa and Sophia had some individually solid moments across the 9th Challenge season, which premiered in 2004 (Let’s not forget the ladies constructed and sailed a boat more quickly than the guys), they simply couldn’t hold off Eric, Dan and Theo, who beat them in 13 out of 16 missions (plus, one of the ladies’ three wins was an intentionally thrown mission).

#2. EMILY AND PAULA ( RIVALS II)



Turns out Emily has a history of controlling the game. On the 2013 show, — Emily’s most recent appearance — she and her former enemy absolutely crushed the competition, winning five out of the first six missions and — eventually — the big money. Em and Paula were also the only women’s team to never face elimination in The Jungle.

#3. THE CHAMPIONS ( THE RUINS)



The Champs’ red jerseys may have subconsciously pointed to the many bloodbaths they exacted over the course of Season 18. While Sarah and KellyAnne put up one of the series’ most commendable performances as the two Challengers’ finalists — and nearly won the final prize — they were no match for the likes of Derrick, Evan, Johnny Bananas, Kenny and Susie, who handily won nine of the show’s 10 missions.

#4. THE RED TEAM ( BATTLE OF THE BLOODLINES)



Before the crop of Season 27 competitors was whittled down to a collection of pairs, and Cara Maria and Jamie went on to win the final competition, there were Teams Red and Blue…though the latter didn’t make much of an impression. All six of the two-team missions amounted to easy wins for Team Red, which hosted the likes of eventual winner Cara.

#5. ROAD RULES ( THE INFERNO)



The eighth season’s Real World team was one of the most popular in Challenge history (Coral, Syrus, Mike “The Miz” and CT were all fan-favorites). Still, that doesn’t change the fact that they got their asses whipped by the Road Rules outfit, which included Abram, Christena, Veronica, Timmy, Kendal, Holly and Darrell. Team Blue won 12 out of 16 missions, and came from behind to win the final in particular triumphant fashion — piggy-backs across a beachside sunset.

HONORABLE MENTION: EVAN AND CORAL ( FRESH MEAT)



Before the duo were very unluckily disqualified from the competition for a pair of injuries (Coral’s kneecap detached itself, Evan developed a hernia that needed surgery), they were ruling the Australian outback, winning five out of the first six missions. “Bet you’re glad I’m hurt,” Coral joked to the game’s remaining players as she walked off set for the final time. She wasn’t wrong...
