New and old fans of The Challenge have embraced The Challenge: All Stars. This show is comprised of a range of competitors from the past, some who haven't competed in years and some who never left, but all with roots in one of the original MTV shows linked to this long-lasting competition. Finding its home on Paramount+, the show is timed perfectly with the release of old seasons of The Challenge available on various streaming platforms.
With ages ranging from their early 30s to over 50, fans have been curious as to exactly how old each of the competitors is. In addition, many have been absent from the public eye for a while, and fans are curious about what they've been up to. Viewers are wondering if age and the length of time since someone competed plays a role in their predicted success. For that reason, we've compiled a list of how old each Challenge: All Stars cast member is and how long it has been since they last saw a season of The Challenge.
Alton Williams
Age: 41
Last Challenge: 2012
Alton is one of the only Challenge players who has very little social media presence. Alton has not only disconnected from social media, but doesn't watch much TV and hasn't kept up on The Challenge over the years. His return to the show is one of the most anticipated by fans. His lack of info on what has transpired since he left makes the social aspect of the game a little more challenging for him. Without active social media, it has been hard for fans to keep up with Alton. He's tight-lipped about his personal life as well, after a long on-and-off relationship with his Real World castmate Irulan Wilson.
Jisela Delgado
Age: 40
Last Challenge : 2006
Jisela took a break from raising her beautiful sons to come back after a 15-year absence. Fans have been able to keep up with her via Twitter @JiselaDelgado and Instagram @withlovejisela. She is very active on social media and fans have seen she isn't afraid to get into some Challenge social media beef. Jisela has gone home fourth in every Challenge she has participated in, so it will be interesting to see if she is able to break that curse this time around.
Ace Amerson
Age: 42
Last Challenge: 2007
Ace's return to The Challenge after 14 years didn't last long, as he was the first person eliminated. That's not quite in line with the success he has seen in the past. He posts occasionally on his Instagram, @aceamerson11. Though details about his personal life seem murky at best, he appears to be enjoying the country life and has mentioned a girlfriend as recently as late 2020.
Katie Cooley
Age: 41
Last Challenge: 2010
Despite once being a staple on The Challenge, Katie's life before All Stars was a far cry from what it was back in 2010. Katie, who works as a Senior Finance Manager for Wrigley Media Group, is happily married and has her hands full raising her 5-year-old daughter, Avery. However, she still makes time for her passion, interior design. You can check out her work on her blog, decorkate.com. Cooley is also fairly active on social media and can be found on Instagram @katiecooley26 or Twitter @katiecooley26.
Arissa Hill
Age: 41
Last Challenge: 2004
Hill has been busy in the 17 years she has been away. She is currently a Los Angeles-based chef who teaches classes. Her specialty is working with foods infused with hemp and cannabis. You can check out her new website, highfromthehill.com, but you'll need to be over 18. Her Instagram account, @missarissa, is pretty new with only a few photos, but she is fairly active on Twitter under the handle @MissArissa.
Derrick Kosinski
Age: 37
Last Challenge: 2017
Kosinski is someone even new Challenge fans will be familiar with. Having appeared as recently as 2017, he remains an all-time favorite of many, including host TJ Lavin. His podcast, Challenge Mania, which he hosts with comedian Scott Yager, is one of if not the best source for all things Challenge-related. Despite being busy with his podcast and his even more important role as a dad, Kosinski manages to stay very active on social media. He can be found on Instagram @derrickmtv and Twitter @DerrickMTV. Kosinski is also widely considered one of the most fierce competitors, but also one of the most likable players in the show's history.
Trishelle Cannatella
Age: 41
Last Challenge: 2013
Love her or hate her, no one can call Trishelle Cannatella boring. Cannatella has not only done multiple different reality TV shows, but she has also posed for Playboy, appeared in a horror film, and even been fairly successful as a poker player. She currently resides in New Orleans with her husband and is very active on several social media platforms. You can find her on Instagram @trishellec or Twitter @TrishelleC.
Syrus Yarbrough
Age: 49
Last Challenge: 2009
At almost 50, there's no doubt Syrus is one of the oldest people to compete on The Challenge, but he doesn't appear to have slowed down much over the years. He has been in movies and on TV, worked as a network consultant, and even dabbled in fashion, with some of his clothing available at his website, iamsyrus.com. The long-time bachelor appears to have settled down and has been reported to have a serious girlfriend as recently as 2020. He is even more active on social media than many of the younger competitors, even embracing Tik Tok. He can be found on Instagram @syrusmtv and Twitter @syrusmtv.
Beth Stolarczyk
Age: 52
Last Challenge: 2008
At 52, Stolarczyk is the oldest competitor on The Challenge: All-Stars and the oldest to compete in the franchise, period. Fans of the show have noticed her age isn't slowing her down as much as one would expect. She got married 12 years ago and is a proud mom to two beautiful children. If that isn't enough, she is busy as the founder and CEO of Eyelushion Lashes in Beverly Hills. She can be found on Instagram @bethsrealworld and on Twitter @MTVBeth.
Nehemiah Clark
Age: 35
Last Challenge: 2011
At 35, Nehemiah Clark is one of the younger members of The Challenge: All Stars cast. Clark lives in Kansas City, Missouri where he remains close to his Real World costar, Challenge great Wes Bergmann. While his social media makes no mention of a significant other at the moment, he has been plenty busy in the 10 years since his last Challenge. He has worked as a DJ, hosted a weekly podcast, done some impressive work as a set designer/set dresser, as well as videography work as a director/editor. His Instagram @nehemiahlclark has only been around since 2019, but he appears to be moderately active there and on Twitter @NehemiahMTV.
Jonna Mannion
Age: 32
Last Challenge: 2015
At 32, Jonna is the youngest member of The Challenge: All Stars cast. She has only been away from the show for six years, but, in that time, her life has changed a lot. She's currently married with two children. She can be found on social media @jonnamannion on Instagram, which is mainly devoted to family pictures, and on Twitter @jonnamtv.
Eric 'Big Easy' Banks
Age: 39
Last Challenge: 2012
Banks, who was known on the show as Big Easy, can be found on Instagram @thatguyeasy and on Twitter @EricBanks. He doesn't appear to be married or have children, but he has been busy working in marketing, running spring break trips, and making MTV-related appearances. He has had an impressive 90-pound weight loss and often talks about his journey.
Jemmye Carroll
Age: 32
Last Challenge: 2018
Even newer fans of the show will be familiar with Jemmye, who has been on the series in recent years. As one of the season's youngest competitors, Jemmye's personal relationships have been explored on Ex on the Beach, and fans already know how active she is on social media. Never one to hesitate to jump into, and occasionally instigate, Challenge drama on social media, she can be found on Instagram @justjemm_ and on Twitter @JustJem24.
Laterrian Wallace
Age: 43
Last Challenge: 2003
Laterrian is one of the more elusive cast members. His social media activity consists of an Instagram under the handle @iamlaterrian, with mostly fitness and travel photos, and his Twitter, @latwall, had only one post since 2015 before he started promoting his return to The Challenge.
KellyAnne Judd
Age: 34
Last Challenge: 2015
KellyAnne is another of the younger cast members who hasn't been gone long. Her Twitter, @KellyAnneJudd, and Instagram, @kellyannejudd, are both active, and she appears to be living her best life, including being a proud dog mom. So proud, in fact, that she has a separate social media account just for her pets.
Mark Long
Age: 49
Last Challenge: 2012
Mark has been known as the Godfather of The Challenge, a title he continues to earn as the motivating factor behind the entire creation of this spin-off. Mark worked to round up past stars for the new series through social media. Anyone who follows him on either his Instagram, @themarklong, or his Twitter, @TheMarkLong, was already rooting for this show to happen. Mark has worked as a host and held various on-camera positions over the years. He has no children and isn't married, but his social media is full of loving tributes to his parents, showing how close he is to his family.
Kendal Sheppard
Age: 41
Last Challenge: 2004
Kendal only did one season of The Challenge, but she won that season, making her return 17 years later pretty exciting. Kendal, who works as a nurse, is also married and a mother. Her passion for yoga helps her manage her busy life, and she still manages to stay active on social media. She can be found on Twitter @KendalSheppard and on Instagram @kendalsheppard, where she shows off some of her yoga moves as well as her family.
Teck Holmes
Age: 45
Last Challenge: 2000
As the competitor who has been gone the longest, Teck made it to the finals of his one and only Challenge season 21 years ago. Since then, he has kept busy. When not making people laugh, he has been building an acting resume and working as a DJ. On social media, you can find him on Instagram @teckholmes and on Twitter @TeckHolmes.
Ruthie Alcaide
Age: 43
Last Challenge: 2006
Ruthie, who over the years has been a speaker on social issues and her own sobriety journey, found her way back to reality TV, but on the other side of the camera. While it has been 15 years since her last Challenge, she has worked in production on shows like Bad Girls Club and Big Brother, as well as on many scripted projects. Ruthie can be found on Instagram @ruthieworld and Twitter @PlanetRuthie. Her social media content is a combination of personal pics, travel pictures, and inspirational content.
Yes Duffy
Age: 43
Last Challenge: 2003
Yes took time out from running his own architecture firm, Yes Duffy Architects, to do All Stars. He is an activist whose work has had a strong focus on urban development solutions, as well as sustainability. Check him out on social media @yesoneverything on Instagram and @actvstArchitect on Twitter to see more of the impressive stuff this return Challenger has been up to.
Aneesa Ferreira
Age: 39
Last Challenge: Current
Challenge fans don't really need any updates on Aneesa, who has never really been gone. Aneesa was on the current season of The Challenge, which happens to be airing at the same time as All Stars. While she still hasn't managed to win a season yet, and her departure from The Challenge: Double Agents was a particularly heartbreaking one, fans can immediately start rooting for her and see if she has any better luck with a more mature group of competitors. She can be found actively posting on social media @aneesamtv on Instagram and @AneesaMTV on Twitter.
Darrell Taylor
Age: 41
Last Challenge: Current
Like Aneesa, Darrell was on both the current season of The Challenge: Double Agents and All Stars. At 41, he is one of the oldest competitors on the regular seasons, so being in the middle of the age range of the All Stars cast has to be a welcome change. His age isn't a hindrance, however, because he still more than holds his own against the young rookies and retains his spot as one of the iconic players. When not still giving rookies a run for their money, he is the owner and trainer of LB4LB Fitness. Fans can keep up with him on Twitter @mtvrrdarrell and on Instagram @darrell_taylor_lb4lb.
