Who's The Most Underrated Player On The Challenge?

It’s been more than 16 years since Aneesa competed on her very first Challenge, Battle of the Sexes, however she’s since failed to notch an individual win. Still, she’s put up a strong showing, clawed her way to a handful of finales and sent house some of the strongest players in the game in gruesome elimination rounds.


So, is it safe to mention she’s the most underrated player in the game?


On tonight’s Champs vs. Stars reunion, the cast believed the question in light of Aneesa’s efficiency on the latest season. The Real World: Chicago export was forced to withdraw from the game in the fourth episode soon after CT accidentally leveled her in “Face Off,” which amounted to a damaged ankle. Aneesa, for one, felt that she may have gone the distance if she hadn’t been knocked out.


“I feel that I’m underestimated — no, I don’t get respect,” Aneesa mentioned. “When [CT] called me one of the worst competitors although I won the initial three f**king challenges on Dirty Thirty, like, that shows something.”


And CT noted that Aneesa had every right to feel slighted.


“It’s a shame what happened, because she is underappreciated and she is underrated on these challenges,” he mentioned.


“But you’re one of the people who underrates me,” Aneesa fired back.


Finally, CT — who mentioned on Champs vs. Stars Season 2 that he hoped Aneesa would one day get a win — apologized, and conceded that Aneesa is a much better player than she gets credit for.


“I’m sorry I didn’t respect you,” he mentioned before walking over to her, giving her a hug and planting a kiss on her cheek.


Sadly, we won’t get to be able to see Aneesa compete on Final Reckoning, although there’s little doubt that she’ll be back again — and right now, she has more to prove than ever.


So, any time whenever you think about the Challenge across more than 30 seasons, who sticks out to you because the most underrated player? Is it indeed Aneesa, and does she deserve more acclaim from her peers? Is it someone like Veronica who was a threat in her prime, however whose comeback hasn't however generated a W? Is it newbie Kyle, who’s seen as a layup although he nearly won the most recent final on Vendettas?
