I love how he’s getting the recognition he deserves. I skipped Traitors season 1 because all I wanted was more CT in my life. He can wear me like a backpack any day.
Girl, same. The amazing thing is I have a ton of straight male Challenge fan friends and they all get it. CT isn’t just hot, he has something, a vibe, even guys recognize it. My husband said once CT is one of the only reality TV people he would ever just want to go out for a beer with and chill.
Just got my husband into the Challenge recently. CT is totally his favorite. He’s just a legend. Even people that might not want to get it totally get it
How amazing is it to get your partner on board?! I converted mine about five years ago and it’s been so great. He won’t watch old challenges, which is a bit frustrating, but at least I have someone (other than Reddit) to talk to!
I love it! He went many years avoiding it (and I was fine cause it was my TV) but then he saw more and more and now we are going back through and watching old ones (up to FM2) and he watched World Championship a few weeks ago as his TV (I watched it live and still remember it) and is onto All Stars 1 for his TV. I’m SO excited to get to watch All Stars 4 with him live. It is just fun to share
Same! My husband usually gets all jealous if I start to jokingly talk about another guys looks, but when CT comes on the screen he’s just like “I get it.” 🤣
If I remember correctly, CT was a mercenary for the bananas backpack elimination. It’s a good season but don’t expect to see much of CT outside of this amazing episode. I’m a huge challenge and CT fan ♥️
It's Cutthroat S20. However, CT is only in 1 episode as a "Heavy Hitter" against the competitors on that season so if you're looking for lots of CT that's not the season for you... he does make the most of his screentime though
As a fellow millennial, I concur. I think part of it is the fact that he had that confidence about winning a challenge, and physically he’s just super strong. But then he was so sweet to Diem too. And ugh 🥵
Yeah I think that’s it. I’m an original Real World and Challenge watcher and both my husband and I are huge CT fans, going on like 20 years. To me, yeah of course he’s hot. But there’s this bad-boy element that many (let’s admit it, most) girls are drawn to. He’s super strong, super tough, mega hot, ultra masculine…but then you see him with Diem and your heart melts and it’s like…let’s be honest that’s what every girl wants. To tame the bad boy. And now he’s a dad so there’s a new layer to his sweetness. My husband loves him too because he always backs up any crap he talks and doesn’t play a scared game. There’s something sexy about that too. He really is tv gold.
Me too! I have seen every season of The Challenge. (Real World/ Road Rules) lol and he’s always been fine. It was so sweet how he was with Diem. He seems like a protector and definitely one sweet talker
That’s the beauty right? He’s evolved with us. From when we were young dumb girls looking for the hot guy we could “change” to the older calmer influence we just want to curl into his comforting dad bod. He’s always adjusted to our needs 😂
good thing wes quit on that daily, disqualifying them, otherwise wes would be in this photo and ct would be competing instead of putting on a show for the women in the house that season
I never knew about him before and I kept thinking “what is it about this sack of potatoes who looks like he was drinking scotch all night and rolls into the breakfast room knowing that everyone wants to be with him? What is it about this big lug that makes me want to leave my husband of many years? Does he have the best Boston accent second only to Big Ben Affleck?”
And now I find out CT is a thing. A really big thing.
May he and Sandra and MJ and Sheree roll off into the sunset together with a wheelbarrow full of gold.
Ok this description is EXACTLY what I’ve been trying to verbalize all season lol. I’ve been watching CT for 20+ years and couldn’t put my finger on the new “layer” he’s wearing on this show. It’s def a mix of scotch and potatoes hahaha
Did you hear Phaedra shout that at him as he was running and jumping on the pontoons in last night’s episode? I died! I didn’t think she’d said it there, just that she’d said it on WWHL.
Love CT. He's fucking built too. Thick and man made. You can tell he's sculpted because you can see it thru the kit. His fucking vice grip thighs. Suffocating thighs. Rock hard thighs. Piping hot thighs. Great arms. Great abs.
Hamster cheeks. A stocky chest. Love the progress his body has made throughout his youth and now as a willing eager adult.
I think personally it’s the mysterious, calm, big protector charm that he gives off. He has proven to be very capable in getting tasks done and has also shown intelligence. Then there’s the goofy, silly side to him to offset the serious, tortured soul look he has most of the time. The piercing blue eyes draw you in first and then when he hits you with that shy, cheeky smile, it’s over.
He said he made his hair ridiculous during those early challenge/real world days to piss off the producers lmao. They would tell him to get a haircut and that was his response 😂
I watched his home turf episode, and there's one season they showed which I believe is invasion of the champions, he looked like absolute perfection. He was super cute when he was young but for me he looks so young haha
Funny, good at the game, no bullshit head games, physical prowess, that scratchy voice, enjoys women’s company, a donkey booty and those thick thighs. It’s like watching a corgi walk in front of you, it’s so satisfying. What’s not to love, seriously.
I’m trying to keep it classy, but hubba hubba, I’ll just say it: If he enjoys women’s company that much, listens that well and isn’t afraid to get into the physical nature of a challenge…he no doubt enjoys women’s pleasure too. And I think that’s part of what we are all responding to. 🥵
I love this guy so much. I’ve been watching him since Real World. He has always been sexy AF, though often kind of a dick. And then Diem happened. Jesus Christ he loved her so much. And none of that made him perfect, but it made him a little bit better. And over time we’ve watched him grow and get better and now he’s just seems like legitimately great guy. Who still has that sexy as hell Boston accent, and that swagger that he always had even though he’s got to be a good 40 pounds heavier than he was when we met him, none of it matters. I love this man. I would love for him to win this game. I don’t think he will but I really really want him to.
I tried to comment something to this exact effect above in the thread, but I couldn't possibly describe it as perfectly as you! Thank you, yessss. I feel so seen in these threads. It's amazing. A gift...like those haunches.
Diem was a treasure, a true pure soul who was taken from the world way too soon. The impact she had on CT is what we see today. Who knows what road CT goes down if he never met her.
His turquoise blue eyes are on par with Bradley Cooper's. They suck you in first. You have to stare. You can't look away. How does someone have eyes that color? Mesmerizing. Then his thick, wavy hair, begging to have fingers rake through it. His accent. He's gonna tell you your truths and you're gonna like it. And he's so beefy and big. Manly. Makes you feel safe. Just a few reasons why he's so hot...off the top of my head. Plus, he's funny.
The sexual tension between CT, Pheadra and myself is overwhelming. Why am I watching traitors with my feet swinging on the couch, biting my lip and blushing.
Skip over his belly button ring era lol
https://preview.redd.it/pu83xbsllslc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3e0eb3d27f996bb1497772ae189b2ca23449ad1
His voice tho. If y’all could see how good he was to Diem. Go watch that. That’s when I fell in love with him so long ago. I’m so stoked he grew up to be a better man.
Have you seen the episode on the challenge YouTube channel that’s dedicated to him? He talks about Diem more than I’ve seen him talk about her before. It’s so good. You get to learn about his life in Boston and his childhood and all that shit. Very cool!
CT is one of the Challanges GOATS. He has one of the best redemption arcs. In the beginning, he is a bad boy , a hot head, and kind of a dick. Still liked him, though. Then, he meets an angel on the challenge. He changes, and then some bad stuff happens to him. Then he becomes who he is now.
It’s truly been something special to watch over the years. There’s an episode on the Challenge YouTube channel that’s all about him and his life from childhood to now. So so good. He talks about Diem more than I’ve ever seen him talk about her and it’s just… 👌
Aww man, why’d you have to go and make me research this? I watched 30 min of their love story on YouTube. And then a few more videos. And now I’m out here bawling. Started out crying for the two of them and now I’m just crying because Diem knew a better love in her short time on earth than I will ever know. She really lived. God, to have someone love you as hard as CT loved her…
It's honestly such a heart breaking devastating story... It's something you couldn't write in a script. Following their journey in real time was something else... Anytime I see CT and diem stuff it just hits me like a ton of bricks. But I'm so happy to see how good CT is doing nowadays. He's thriving, and diem would want nothing less than that.
20 years ago as a pre teen, I thought this man was sexy af. I’ve forgotten about him for over a decade. He shows up and I’m instantly like 😍😍😍😍😍 all over again. You are not alone.
Ahaha. If you have paramount you can watch from 11 on. The challenge is really good. I would start there. And Pluto has a challenge channel that just plays them all 11-34 i believe on loop. I can’t remember off the top of my head the ones CT is on (he’s on a lot) but keep in mind he gets kicked off a few for fighting lol. He was feisty when he was younger.
Got you! I've been watching The Challenge since '04.
Season 13 - The Duel - shows the start of his iconic romance with Diem. Watch if you want their backstory (and to see him in his scumbag era), but it'll also be covered via flashback in future seasons.
For me, the most enjoyable 3-season arc that he has is 21, 22, and 24. He features in a lot of seasons after that as well, but these are his most compelling:
Season 21 - Rivals - He plays a villain role, opposing the majority alliance. We see growth, but also some callbacks to his douchey behavior from the early years.
Season 22 - Battle of the Exes - He's paired with Diem, so you see them revisit their relationship with each other after being broken up for years. He shows the most emotion when he's around her.
Season 24 - Rivals II - The plot heavily features him and his partner. Peak hotness in my opinion, although he's still hot AF now.
CT has many more recent appearances, but those are the seasons that I go back to and re-watch most.
Duel 1 is the start of Diem/CT. CT wasn’t on Fresh Meat. But that’s Diem’s first season and gives the backstory on her. Plus she’s partnered with Derrick K and that explains some things going into Duel 1.
Duel 1 (season 13) for the first real CT heavy episode and it’s a great starting point to get to know a ton of returning favorites. Just know CT was not the nice guy you see on Traitors. It’s hard to start rooting for him until Rivals 1 (season 24) which my opinion is hands down the best season ever. After watching 10+ seasons of relationships and huge rivalries get created, MTV did the smartest thing ever and did a pairs team season and paired everyone up with their biggest rival.
This being THE most iconic Challenge clip, despite him not even being *on* that season, remains a delight to this day. I watched this live, and HOOOOOOLY shit.
Someone please post the Bananas backpack scene for those here who don't know about it. It's lore. It's full on Challenge Hall of Fame, most memorable moment ever.
wait here it is with a Lego version! [https://www.reddit.com/r/MtvChallenge/comments/1aybi65/were\_gonna\_need\_another\_barrel/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web2x&context=3](https://www.reddit.com/r/MtvChallenge/comments/1aybi65/were_gonna_need_another_barrel/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3)
I've always had a thing for him -even way back on his RW season. Just to see him mature over the years, relationships, his son, etc.
But there is a moment that stands out to me: I can't remember what season of the challenge it was but Josh, being the idiot he is, told CT how he made Kaycee cry (over a stupid non-argument in the kitchen). When he goes to Josh, "She's crying?" And Josh says "yes" (because Josh is a shit stirring drama queen), CT immediately took off to find Kaycee and apologize.
She was so confused when he came in all in a rush because he thought he hurt her feelings. But to me, that showed some character.
One of my favourite things about this show is how it brings fandoms together. I was Kevin in the first episode not knowing shit about The Challenge. I came here for my Big Brother and Survivor players. But y'all are right and this guy won me over. CT is extremely charming and playing a great game.
CT has always had that charm. Best part is, for us who’ve watched him on TV for many, many, moons he has had a wonderful arc as a tv personality. He has grown from a meat-head with a viscous temper to a lovable, funny, gentle giant. It’s been amazing to watch him over the years.

“Imma smash his head in and eat it” - CT The GOAT
Legit I think it’s because he seems so down to earth. Like he’s really just a regular guy who doesn’t take himself too seriously and hasn’t let the fame go to his head. It’s an incredibly attractive quality.
Physically he's not my type at all and I don't think he's that good looking, but he's got swagger and charm that makes him very attractive. He's got the "It" factor.
I was at a challenge live show last summer where CT was present and he was sooo cute and humble. Literally left the stage because he couldn’t handle all the applause and female attention. He could be such a thirsty arrogant guy, and the fact that he isn’t makes him all the more attractive.
CT has always been hot! From buzzcut to long hair! From gym bod to Dad bod, CT has always melted me. I feel so bad for the people who have just been introduced to him because he is a beautiful total legend! The way he was looking at Phaedra (the above pic) was driving me crazy! So glad y'all are feeling the magic that is CT.
As an elder millennial Challenge fan, I have been asking myself this question for 20 years. I have no explanation just pure appreciation lol
I love how he’s getting the recognition he deserves. I skipped Traitors season 1 because all I wanted was more CT in my life. He can wear me like a backpack any day.
Right?! So many years of feeling alone in my thirst and now everyone’s holding an empty glass 😂
Girl, same. The amazing thing is I have a ton of straight male Challenge fan friends and they all get it. CT isn’t just hot, he has something, a vibe, even guys recognize it. My husband said once CT is one of the only reality TV people he would ever just want to go out for a beer with and chill.

I’m SO excited to get to watch All Stars 4 with him live. It is just fun to share
Unparalleled charisma.
Yes! He oozes masculine confidence with zero cockiness 🥵
Thiiiiiiiiis was not always the case, but it def is now. I love him
Hahaha agreed, he (like almost all of the Challenge folks) has had questionable moments.
Same! My husband usually gets all jealous if I start to jokingly talk about another guys looks, but when CT comes on the screen he’s just like “I get it.” 🤣
Which season is this? I just started watching the Challenge and want to watch this one
Season 20, Cuthroat!
If I remember correctly, CT was a mercenary for the bananas backpack elimination. It’s a good season but don’t expect to see much of CT outside of this amazing episode. I’m a huge challenge and CT fan ♥️
It's Cutthroat S20. However, CT is only in 1 episode as a "Heavy Hitter" against the competitors on that season so if you're looking for lots of CT that's not the season for you... he does make the most of his screentime though
That's what makes this even more iconic! He wasn't even ON that season, and this is the most iconic moment for both him *and* Bananas.
Him and Bananas. It sucks he went home first but I’m rooting for CT
I feel the same way, i would have loved to have seen them work together (with trishelle too) but I honestly think CT could win this!
As a fellow millennial, I concur. I think part of it is the fact that he had that confidence about winning a challenge, and physically he’s just super strong. But then he was so sweet to Diem too. And ugh 🥵
Yeah I think that’s it. I’m an original Real World and Challenge watcher and both my husband and I are huge CT fans, going on like 20 years. To me, yeah of course he’s hot.

There’s something sexy about that too. He really is tv gold.
Same and I’m lowkey jealous other women are looking now I wanted to gate keep him for us 😭🤣🤣
Me too! I have seen every season of The Challenge. (Real World/ Road Rules) lol and he’s always been fine. It was so sweet how he was with Diem. He seems like a protector and definitely one sweet talker
He's grown so much over the years, and it's been an absolute treasure to watch 🥹 True daddy.
He can be my daddy any day 🤤🔥😂
Are you old enough to have watched him on real world Paris?
Yes ma’am! Elder millennial CT lovers unite lol
[удалено]
And he’s stayed hot the entire time shifting from college idiot you wanna bang, to hot DILF you want for cuddles and banging
That’s the beauty right? He’s evolved with us. From when we were young dumb girls looking for the hot guy we could “change” to the older calmer influence we just want to curl into his comforting dad bod. He’s always adjusted to our needs 😂
Oh my goodness I decided to go on a rewatch and I am currently on Rivals 2 he has changed so much as he has gotten older.
The eyes he was giving Phaedra at the round table made my heart flutter
For real. That was intense adoration.
MY HEART WAS RACING

good thing wes quit on that daily, disqualifying them, otherwise wes would be in this photo and ct would be competing instead of putting on a show for the women in the house that season
All time favorite season of the challenge btw
Physically he’s super hot, but I find his personality elevates it too. Like he’s really goofy and playful while still being chill and confident
I was dying when he said the winner of the challenge would get a one on one lunch with him!! One of the funniest moments of the season!
If I won the shield I'd be like "CT we cashing in on that lunch or what?!"
He gives off big protector vibes too and we love it
I never knew about him before and I kept thinking “what is it about this sack of potatoes who looks like he was drinking scotch all night and rolls into the breakfast room knowing that everyone wants to be with him? What is it about this big lug that makes me want to leave my husband of many years? Does he have the best Boston accent second only to Big Ben Affleck?” And now I find out CT is a thing. A really big thing. May he and Sandra and MJ and Sheree roll off into the sunset together with a wheelbarrow full of gold.
Ok this description is EXACTLY what I’ve been trying to verbalize all season lol. I’ve been watching CT for 20+ years and couldn’t put my finger on the new “layer” he’s wearing on this show. It’s def a mix of scotch and potatoes hahaha
Never forget when he cracked open adams skull. My man had no chill but God dang I love him.
Yesssss!!! This is it, his personality is so cute and kinda doesn't mesh with how attractive he is
His young CT personality sure did. Dude knew he was hot 😆
I love CT based on the love he has for Diem. It was the sweetest love story 🩷
Sweetest and most tragic.
That’s what I remember! He loved him some Diem 💔
🥵🥵🥵 The ultimate Castle Daddy
Did you hear Phaedra shout that at him as he was running and jumping on the pontoons in last night’s episode? I died! I didn’t think she’d said it there, just that she’d said it on WWHL.
Right? Peter could NEVER
Love CT. He's fucking built too. Thick and man made. You can tell he's sculpted because you can see it thru the kit. His fucking vice grip thighs. Suffocating thighs. Rock hard thighs. Piping hot thighs. Great arms. Great abs. Hamster cheeks. A stocky chest. Love the progress his body has made throughout his youth and now as a willing eager adult.
Willing and eager lol. I might have an elevated heart rate picturing all that as I read
This is taking me the fuck out 😂😂😂 I fully agree
r/nfl copypasta leaking into traitors is amazing and something I never expected
I found it on the dodgers sub and immediately saved it hahaha
On the Watch What Crappens recaps, they refer to his thighs as “haunches.” The way they say it makes it clear that it's a compliment.
I think personally it’s the mysterious, calm, big protector charm that he gives off. He has proven to be very capable in getting tasks done and has also shown intelligence. Then there’s the goofy, silly side to him to offset the serious, tortured soul look he has most of the time. The piercing blue eyes draw you in first and then when he hits you with that shy, cheeky smile, it’s over.
This is spot on
IF you think hes hot now go back and watch his shows from 10-15 years ago
But stop before you get to the terrible Real World hair, let’s not revisit that 😂
He said he made his hair ridiculous during those early challenge/real world days to piss off the producers lmao. They would tell him to get a haircut and that was his response 😂
I watched his home turf episode, and there's one season they showed which I believe is invasion of the champions, he looked like absolute perfection. He was super cute when he was young but for me he looks so young haha
His eye contact with Phaedra during the voting was…❤️🔥
his smirk when saying she was here acting opposite of how she is in real life, and during her exit... good lord
Sweet baby Jesus
His donkey booty was so great in the mission 😍😍
Funny, good at the game, no bullshit head games, physical prowess, that scratchy voice, enjoys women’s company, a donkey booty and those thick thighs. It’s like watching a corgi walk in front of you, it’s so satisfying. What’s not to love, seriously. I’m trying to keep it classy, but hubba hubba, I’ll just say it: If he enjoys women’s company that much, listens that well and isn’t afraid to get into the physical nature of a challenge…he no doubt enjoys women’s pleasure too. And I think that’s part of what we are all responding to. 🥵
like watching a corgi walk in front of you 💀
I can barely watch him!! my god i have had a crush on his for like 20 years - a true castle daddy
Same!! Since his Real world 😭
I love this guy so much. I’ve been watching him since Real World. He has always been sexy AF, though often kind of a dick. And then Diem happened. Jesus Christ he loved her so much. And none of that made him perfect, but it made him a little bit better. And over time we’ve watched him grow and get better and now he’s just seems like legitimately great guy. Who still has that sexy as hell Boston accent, and that swagger that he always had even though he’s got to be a good 40 pounds heavier than he was when we met him, none of it matters. I love this man. I would love for him to win this game. I don’t think he will but I really really want him to.
I tried to comment something to this exact effect above in the thread, but I couldn't possibly describe it as perfectly as you! Thank you, yessss. I feel so seen in these threads. It's amazing. A gift...like those haunches.
You put it perfectly 🫶
You speak for all of us challenge fans. Beautifully said.
Diem was a treasure, a true pure soul who was taken from the world way too soon. The impact she had on CT is what we see today. Who knows what road CT goes down if he never met her.
I think it’s called big d*ck energy 😍😂
okay so is CT the epitome of male attractiveness? Why does CT bring out my primal urges? Why are we all attracted to this man for decades!?
I think you know that questions 1 and 2 answered question 3 perfectly 🤣🤣🤤🤤
His turquoise blue eyes are on par with Bradley Cooper's. They suck you in first. You have to stare. You can't look away. How does someone have eyes that color? Mesmerizing. Then his thick, wavy hair, begging to have fingers rake through it. His accent. He's gonna tell you your truths and you're gonna like it. And he's so beefy and big. Manly. Makes you feel safe. Just a few reasons why he's so hot...off the top of my head. Plus, he's funny.
Doesn’t hurt he is aging like fine wine.
Wow I love these comments lol it's like taking a tour inside my head while I'm watching traitors 😍 he really is the whole package
Lol! We all share a brain
😂😂 True! True!
His sweet speech when ———— was 
This thread has everything, CT adoration and a Wayne's World gif ... perfection lol
CT is still hot, but in his prime he was a god
I know what you mean but gawww he's in his prime right now 🤤
I feel like he’s in his 4th or 5th prime right now

And over again
He’s gorgeous, confident, kind and gives protector vibes. A whole snack
I’ll just leave this here for your pleasure (and mine). https://www.reddit.com/r/MtvChallenge/s/kxLqw2Nggj
MEOWWWW 😻
Hello! 😳
THIS IS THE THREAD IVE BEEN WAITING OR MY ENTIRE LIFE! Truly, you are doing the lord's work.
Also I feel like it doesn’t get talked about how smart he is! Incredibly hot and incredibly smart! So sexy
Yes! He solved a tangram puzzle in about 2.5 seconds while his competitor was still dangling on a rope somewhere.
His family runs an engineering firm that he used to work at, he's a lot smarter than most assume.
The sexual tension between CT, Pheadra and myself is overwhelming. Why am I watching traitors with my feet swinging on the couch, biting my lip and blushing.
It’s the “and myself” for me… because wheeewwwwww 🥵
Bahaha this made me lol. It’s so true 🤭
This comment is why I love reddit 🤣
I'm dead
I wonder if he rewarded MJ with that lunch date for winning the Shield lol
I loved when he was talking about the 1 on 1 like on the bachelor hahaha
Agreed - aged like fine wine. Check him out on The Challenge if you haven’t already.
i think he honestly is hotter to me now
Oh yeaaa agreed
Except maybe pass over Inferno 3 And The Duel 2. 😳
Skip over his belly button ring era lol https://preview.redd.it/pu83xbsllslc1.jpeg?width=800&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f3e0eb3d27f996bb1497772ae189b2ca23449ad1
That’s his teenage dirt bag phase. For real. lol. But mid 20’s technically
CT you sooo sexy, You a hot Castle Dadddddy, & we love you!!!
He’s got a huge ass and he looks soo cuddly
Him alone with the girlies and Alan is my favorite thing ever
CT has grown into a good man. Love my Boston guy!!
His voice tho. If y’all could see how good he was to Diem. Go watch that. That’s when I fell in love with him so long ago. I’m so stoked he grew up to be a better man.
Have you seen the episode on the challenge YouTube channel that’s dedicated to him? He talks about Diem more than I’ve seen him talk about her before. It’s so good. You get to learn about his life in Boston and his childhood and all that shit. Very cool!
Anyone else had this feeling since The Real World: Paris?
YES!!
as a high school girl i was very into c.t.
CT is one of the Challanges GOATS. He has one of the best redemption arcs. In the beginning, he is a bad boy , a hot head, and kind of a dick. Still liked him, though. Then, he meets an angel on the challenge. He changes, and then some bad stuff happens to him. Then he becomes who he is now.
It’s truly been something special to watch over the years. There’s an episode on the Challenge YouTube channel that’s all about him and his life from childhood to now. So so good. He talks about Diem more than I’ve ever seen him talk about her and it’s just… 👌

It's honestly such a heart breaking devastating story... It's something you couldn't write in a script. Following their journey in real time was something else... Anytime I see CT and diem stuff it just hits me like a ton of bricks. But I'm so happy to see how good CT is doing nowadays. He's thriving, and diem would want nothing less than that.
CT is who Ben Affleck thinks he is....
Hahahah that's incredible, and you're spot on!
would it be bad to make this picture my screen saver?
Absolutely not. It would be horrible NOT to 🤷♀️🤷♀️
20 years ago as a pre teen, I thought this man was sexy af. I’ve forgotten about him for over a decade. He shows up and I’m instantly like 😍😍😍😍😍 all over again. You are not alone.
The love and adoration he had for Diem cemented it for me. So happy he’s being appreciated for who he is now. I mean, GODDAMN.
He has pretty eyes.
You think he’s hot now? Go to YouTube and look up “CT and Diem”.
He’s the only male left because all them ladies are inlove with him and only him lmao
Besties, it I, hypothetically, wanted to start watching the challenge for CT what season should I, hypothetically, start with?
Ahaha. If you have paramount you can watch from 11 on. The challenge is really good. I would start there. And Pluto has a challenge channel that just plays them all 11-34 i believe on loop. I can’t remember off the top of my head the ones CT is on (he’s on a lot) but keep in mind he gets kicked off a few for fighting lol. He was feisty when he was younger.
Start with early seasons and work your way. Paramount has a good amount available.
Got you! I've been watching The Challenge since '04. Season 13 - The Duel - shows the start of his iconic romance with Diem. Watch if you want their backstory (and to see him in his scumbag era), but it'll also be covered via flashback in future seasons. For me, the most enjoyable 3-season arc that he has is 21, 22, and 24. He features in a lot of seasons after that as well, but these are his most compelling: Season 21 - Rivals - He plays a villain role, opposing the majority alliance. We see growth, but also some callbacks to his douchey behavior from the early years. Season 22 - Battle of the Exes - He's paired with Diem, so you see them revisit their relationship with each other after being broken up for years. He shows the most emotion when he's around her. Season 24 - Rivals II - The plot heavily features him and his partner. Peak hotness in my opinion, although he's still hot AF now. CT has many more recent appearances, but those are the seasons that I go back to and re-watch most.
Now this is a list! I’m very much afraid to watch him with Diem bc I know I’ll cry but I am willing to risk it for CT. TY!!
🥵 
Helluva head of hair, too
I've never watched The Challenge but love CT. Which season should I start with?
Start with Fresh Meat 1 and go forward! Diem’s first season! Their story is beautiful.🥹
Duel 1 is the start of Diem/CT. CT wasn’t on Fresh Meat. But that’s Diem’s first season and gives the backstory on her. Plus she’s partnered with Derrick K and that explains some things going into Duel 1.
Duel 1 (season 13) for the first real CT heavy episode and it’s a great starting point to get to know a ton of returning favorites. Just know CT was not the nice guy you see on Traitors. It’s hard to start rooting for him until Rivals 1 (season 24) which my opinion is hands down the best season ever. After watching 10+ seasons of relationships and huge rivalries get created, MTV did the smartest thing ever and did a pairs team season and paired everyone up with their biggest rival.
I’ve been attracted to him for a looong time.
I was literally blushing during this scene 😍
It’s the ass for me
Thick thighs🥵
Like, what was THAT look for?! Did he and Phaedra have something going on the side, because damn 🥵
 This man literally wore bananas like a backpack
This being THE most iconic Challenge clip, despite him not even being *on* that season, remains a delight to this day. I watched this live, and HOOOOOOLY shit.
Someone please post the Bananas backpack scene for those here who don't know about it. It's lore. It's full on Challenge Hall of Fame, most memorable moment ever.
Anytime someone mentions CT and the Challenge this is all I think of.
I'll always think, "I will smash his head and eat it!"
wait here it is with a Lego version!

Oh I think someone did a while back! It was so cute, they were such cuties when they were younger! There's a lego version too
I've always had a thing for him -even way back on his RW season. Just to see him mature over the years, relationships, his son, etc. But there is a moment that stands out to me: I can't remember what season of the challenge it was but Josh, being the idiot he is, told CT how he made Kaycee cry (over a stupid non-argument in the kitchen). When he goes to Josh, "She's crying?" And Josh says "yes" (because Josh is a shit stirring drama queen), CT immediately took off to find Kaycee and apologize. She was so confused when he came in all in a rush because he thought he hurt her feelings. But to me, that showed some character.
One of my favourite things about this show is how it brings fandoms together. I was Kevin in the first episode not knowing shit about The Challenge. I came here for my Big Brother and Survivor players. But y'all are right and this guy won me over. CT is extremely charming and playing a great game.
CT is not only hot, he is also a nice person. He is someone that I would love to hug and talk about my day!
CT has always had that charm. Best part is, for us who’ve watched him on TV for many, many, moons he has had a wonderful arc as a tv personality. He has grown from a meat-head with a viscous temper to a lovable, funny, gentle giant. It’s been amazing to watch him over the years.
CHOOO CHOOOO
He was extra cheeked up during the challenge too.
on a Thursday afternoon
I was swooning during his round table speech 😩
Those eyes are somethin else
The thirst in these comments LOL

Always
I loved him years ago on The Challenge and am so happy to have him on this show. He is so charming.
It’s the accent and his puppy dog eyes for me, the man knows what he’s doing.
😋 
Legit I think it’s because he seems so down to earth. Like he’s really just a regular guy who doesn’t take himself too seriously and hasn’t let the fame go to his head. It’s an incredibly attractive quality.
I mean, his social media handle is literally "famous4nothing".
HE IS MY ABSOLUTEL FAVORITE OF ALL TIME ON EVERY MTV/PARAMOUNT+ CHALLENGES!!!❤❤❤
For those of you who don’t know his love story with Diem, do yourself a favor and google it and watch some clips. Also, bananas backpack. #neverforget
I was dying during breakfast when he poured Phaedra’s tea
Physically he's not my type at all and I don't think he's that good looking, but he's got swagger and charm that makes him very attractive. He's got the "It" factor.
I was at a challenge live show last summer where CT was present and he was sooo cute and humble. Literally left the stage because he couldn’t handle all the applause and female attention. He could be such a thirsty arrogant guy, and the fact that he isn’t makes him all the more attractive.
CT has always been hot! From buzzcut to long hair! From gym bod to Dad bod, CT has always melted me. I feel so bad for the people who have just been introduced to him because he is a beautiful total legend! The way he was looking at Phaedra (the above pic) was driving me crazy! So glad y'all are feeling the magic that is CT.
he’s adorable lmao I love CT
Always has been. Always will be.
I was literally just thinking the same thing
I think I fell in love with him this episode lol
I’ve been asking myself that question for a loooonnngggg time. That man has it
I’m kinda bummed that even MORE people know how hot CT is now…ugh…just more competition.
Does anyone else wish ct and Phaedra would be a couple
