Johnny Bananas on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’?
The Challenge veterans Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio and Chris “C.T.” Tamburello have spent the past few years keeping viewers on the edge of their seats, cementing their legacy in the MTV reality series. Now, the two want to tackle a different reality TV genre by getting into datings shows, like The Bachelor in Paradise’.
‘The Challenge’ star Johnny Bananas Want To Be on ‘Bachelor in Paradise’
Bananas, the reality TV stalwart known for his strategic moves and love-hate relationships, has more plans. On top of ‘The Challenge: USA’, the reality star offered a glimpse at his upcoming projects. He confirmed that negotiations were in progress for him to appear on ABC’s ‘Bachelor in Paradise’.
“The boat may have sailed last summer, but talks are still happening,” The Challenge legend revealed. “Visiting Bachelor in Paradise can bring some serious shakeup. Let’s see if a Banana makes it to the beach.”
Fans may be aware of Bananas’ past romance with Genevieve Parisi, originally from ‘The Bachelor,’ which could add a spicy twist to his possible Paradise journey.
Bananas Also Wants His Own Double Shot at Love with CT Tamburello
Bananas and Tamburello have sparked interest with plans to extend their partnership beyond ‘The Challenge’. Although rumors of this union don’t involve a repeat of their high-octane “Bananas backpack” faceoff, the pair is discussing a completely different venture.
“Double Shot at Love with me and C.T. How about that?” Bananas tantalizingly suggested. A far cry from their competitive face-offs, the duo would be starring in a quest for love that could prove to be as captivating as their Challenge journeys.
Challenge Veterans take on ‘The Challenge: USA’
Meanwhile, ‘The Challenge: USA’ is redefining the norm for MTV’s reality series, featuring Challenge veterans taking on CBS stars. This has rekindled the competitive fire in Bananas who, after a momentous victory in 2020’s ‘Total Madness’, is back in full force, filming three seasons within the year.
Despite challenges, Bananas still relishes his new experience. “It was akin to being a rookie in the new season. Additionally, being outnumbered by CBS talent took me by surprise,” he admitted. Nevertheless, he remains unfazed. “But hey, that’s the joys of a new challenge,” Bananas quipped.
