Season 25 of the Challenge has begun (Light Spoilers; 10/19 update)

The cast departed from Miami 3 hours ago. Looks like the season will be in South America. We'll probably learn the country in the next day or two.

At this point, the Vevmo insiders have basically said there will be three rookies, and it's heavily speculated that they are Toya from St. Thomas, Johnny from Portland, and Nia.

Others who are likely part of the cast are Laurel, who has made her hatred of Nia very clear, Devyn, Jonna, and Nany on the women's side. Emily will not be going. Jemmye, Camila, Jasmine, Theresa, and Annessa are also rumored, so you can see that there are a lot of people coming back from Rivals II, though apparently no Cara Maria.

On the guys' side, things are little more open, but Zach, Frank, Jordan, and Leroy are pretty much confirmed. Johnny and CT are being rumored, as is Dustin from Las Vegas and Brandon from Fresh Meat. Doesn't look like Wes will be around this time, but we might see fricking Big Easy again.

Format isn't completely clear, but there is speculation it is either Rookies versus Vets or Duel III. The main insider said it isn't Exes, Rivals, Battle of the Sexes, Seasons, or Fresh Meat.

Things should be even more clear in the next day or two, and I'll bump this thread at that time. Fwiw, TJ has been at the location for the past 2 days already.

People who aren't going: Swift, Trey, Marie, Laura from St. Thomas, Diem, Tyrie, Trishelle, and apparently no Averey or Ashley (either from SD or Nola). Kind of disappointed about those three. WOuld have preferred them over Jasmine and Jemmye.
