Wes Bergmann
One of the most notable figures from the OG franchise—with two wins in 14 seasons—The Real World: Austin vet is making his All Stars debut. When he's not masterminding blindsides and politicking in the Challenge house, the 38-year-old entrepreneur is the creator of the digital reality series The Blox and recaps Challenge episodes on his Patreon. Wes has been married to Amanda Hornick since 2018.
Tina Bridges
The Road Rules: South Pacific vet went on to become one of the franchise's most iconic female competitors, making it to two finals but never bringing home a win, and the 40-year-old is back on All Stars seeking redemption after refusing to compete in an elimination round last season. Host TJ Lavin was less than impressed.
In the 16 years since her memorable last appearance on the main show—The Duel, from which she was disqualified for punching Beth Stolarczyk—Tina's life is, in her words on the season two premiere, "fabulous. I have a husband, no kids. I don't work. I have a pool in the backyard. Life is really good."
Jemmye Carroll
One of the more recent alumni, Jemmye originated on 2010's The Real World: New Orleans, going on to compete on seven Challenges before making it to the final in the augural season of All Stars.

But, even during his time away from the show, the 37-year-old still had ties to the franchise, remaining close friends with Wes Bergmann. The two created their own digital series, Friends With Benefits, during quarantine, which featured appearances from other alumni.

"The immediate plan is I am going to take care of the people who helped get me here, from the child care to the family and friends who need support," Yes told E! News of his plans for the prize money after his big win. "And then the second part is a bit more intentional. As an architect and as an activist, throughout my career I've worked for a number of non-profits, I've started non-profits that fight for social justice and design affordable housing. And I'm really thinking of this $500,000 as a grant to elevate the social impact of our work and address this housing affordability crisis because that's really where my blood has been for so long and that's where this money will go."
Sylvia Elsrode
After making her debut on The Real World: Skeletons, All Stars newcomer Sylvia competed on three seasons of The Challenge, making it to the finals of 2018's Final Reckoning.

Though he retired in 2012, the TV host is the person responsible for All Stars after starting the "We Want OGs" campaign in the summer of 2020. Respect your elders!
While the 50-year-old has a producer credit, he gave up all executive privileges when he signed on to compete in the inaugural season, though he still has big plans for the spinoff's future.

I'm remorseful, but I'm grateful for the path that its led me on and the lessons I've learned. I'm committed to showing that."
