Ranking the Final Partnerships on The Challenge: Vets and New Threats
We finally know who will be working together until the end.
We are finally at our forever partners on The Challenge: Vets and New Threats. I haven't hated this season but it also hasn't been one of my favorites. I'm excited for these people to have to work with their partner for the rest of the season. Here are my power rankings for the remaining partnerships.
12. Aneesa & Jake
Aneesa Ferreira:
- Original Show - The Real World: Chicago
Rookie
Jake Cornish:
- Original Show - Love Island UK 7
Aneesa has been on this show for almost 20 years and never won.
10. Nany & Justin
Nany Gonzalez:
- Original Show - The Real World: Back to Las Vegas
Championships: 0
Justin Hinsley
- Original Show - Cheer
Rookie
I like Nany and Justin but there are just so many teams better than them. Nany has been on this show since 2012 and has only made a handful of finals and never won. I'd love to see these 2 win but I just don't see it happening.
9. America & Leroy
America Lopez:
- Original Show - Big Brother 25
Rookie
Leroy Garrett
- Original Show - The Real World: Back to Las Vegas
Championships: 0
I just don't see this team winning. I love Leroy but he's been on the show since 2011 and hasn't won any championships. He's only been to 4 finals in that time. America also hasn't done anything to impress me.
8. Adrienne & Theo
Adrienne Naylor:
- Original Show - Married at First Sight UK 8
Rookie
Theo Campbell
- Original Show - Love Island UK 3
Championships: 0
Theo has not been the same person this season. He hasn't been as impressive. Some of that might be the injury on his knee but I need to see more from him. I honestly see these 2 making the final but I don't see them winning at all.
7. Ashley & Leonardo
Ashley Mitchell:
- Original Show - The Real World: Ex-Plosion / Back to San Francisco
Championships: 2 (Invasion of the Champions - Final Reckoning)
Leonardo Dionicio
- Original Show - Love Island USA 5
ROOKIE
Ashley and Leo are a sneaky team. I have them this low because I can see them being the easy target. Leo is against the vets and Ashley is against Olivia's alliance and now Aneesa. I don't know I just see them getting thrown in. If they get to the final I could see them winning but I don't know if they'll get there.
6. Jonna & Gabe
Jonna Mannion:
- Original Show - The Real World: Cancun
Championships: 2 (All-Stars 2 --- All-Stars 3)
Gabe Wai
- Original Show - WWE
ROOKIE
I know a lot of the competitors aren't impressed with Jonna but she is a 2-time Challenge All-Stars Champion. If she gets to the end she might win. Something she struggles with is physicallity and Gabe is the perfect partner for her.
5. Michaela & Cedric
Michaela Bradshaw:
- Original Show - Survivor: Millennials vs Gen X
Championships: 0
Cedric Hodges:
- Original Show - Big Brother 26
Rookie
In my opinion, Michaela has been the most dominant female competitor this season. If Cedric can just stay with her they have a chance to win. I think they're going to be targeted though so I don't know how Cedric will do in eliminations. He didn't do that well on Big Brother.
4. Olivia & Will
Olivia Kaiser:
- Original Show - Love Island USA 3
Championships: 0
Will Gagnon:
- Original Show - Are You The One? 9
Rookie
Olivia and Will have to be close to the top. Olivia has been the face of this season. She already has a daily win and an elimination win. I was a little surprised she chose Will just because he tends to pop off at the mouth a lot. I think there's a chance where they can get to the end and win.
3. Aviv & Yeremi
Aviv Melmed:
- Original Show - The Challenge: Fresh Meat
Championships: 1 (Fresh Meat)
Yeremi Hykel
- Original Show - The Amazing Race 35
Rookie
Yeremi has been the most impressive male rookie so far. Aviv is playing a pretty good strategic game. I think female vets like Aneesa, Ashley, and Olivia will get targeted before Aviv does. These two are set up to skate to the end. Aviv has won a final before but that was 20 years ago. I don't know how she would do in a final in the current day and age.
2. Tay & CT
Tay Wilcoxson:
- Original Show - Big Brother Australia 15
Rookie
Chris "CT" Tamburello
- Original Show - The Real World: Paris
Championships: 5 (Rivals II - Invasion of the Champions - War of the Worlds II - Double Agents - Spies, Lies, & Allies)
CT and Tay have to be #2. CT got 2nd place in that mini final and already has an elimination win. Let's not forget that CT is a 5-time Challenge Champion and one of the best to ever do it. Tay has 2 elimination wins already and won Big Brother Australia so she is defintely a threat to win as well.
1. Sydney & Turbo
Sydney Segal:
- Original Show - Survivor 41
ROOKIE
Turbo Camkiran:
- Original Show - Survivor Turkey 8
Championships: 1 (War of the Worlds)
Sydney and Turbo have to be the favorite. They both just killed the mini final and are looking like the strongest male and female on the show and now that they are partnered together it's looking even better for them. I don't see anyone throwing them into an elimination either.

No Other Choice (2025)
It is only February, so other films may well surpass “No Other Choice”, but I think this is the best film I’ve seen so far this year. And that surprises me, because, it is a subtitled film and while I am pretentious enough to choose to watch foreign-language films, I was also very tired and that was an extra commitment from me. But more importantly, let me warn you, this film is gruesome and violent. There were times I had to turn away from the screen to avoid the worst of it (including some self-inflicted dentistry).

Wootton High School
Wootton High School stands as one of the most well-known public high schools in Montgomery County, Maryland, recognized for its strong academic culture, diverse student body, and commitment to preparing students for college and civic life. Over the years, Wootton High School has built a reputation that goes beyond test scores, reflecting the broader challenges, conversations, and responsibilities that modern schools face in the United States. Located in Rockville, Thomas S. Wootton High School serves students from a wide range of backgrounds. The school is consistently noted for offering rigorous coursework, including Advanced Placement classes, STEM-focused programs, and a wide selection of arts and humanities subjects. This balance allows students to explore personal interests while meeting high academic expectations. Faculty members are often praised for maintaining high standards while supporting students through mentorship, counseling, and extracurricular engagement. Like many large public schools, Wootton High School is not only a place for learning but also a reflection of wider social realities. Conversations around student well-being, mental health, and campus safety have become increasingly important in recent years. Across the country, schools have been prompted to reevaluate emergency preparedness and communication systems, and Wootton is no exception. Administrators and educators have worked to ensure that students and parents are informed, supported, and reassured during moments of uncertainty. Online searches sometimes surface the phrase Wootton High School shooting, which can understandably raise concern among parents, students, and community members. It is important to approach such terms carefully and responsibly. In many cases, heightened attention around school safety comes from drills, false reports, or broader national discussions about violence in schools rather than a confirmed, large-scale tragedy specific to the campus. As with any sensitive topic, relying on official statements and verified local reporting is essential to avoid spreading misinformation or unnecessary fear. The presence of such search terms also highlights a larger issue affecting schools nationwide: the emotional impact of constant exposure to news about violence. Even when incidents occur elsewhere, students can feel anxious or distracted, prompting schools to take proactive steps. Wootton High School has emphasized communication with families, counseling resources, and structured safety procedures designed to protect students while maintaining a healthy learning environment. Beyond safety discussions, Wootton High School continues to be recognized for student achievement. Graduates frequently go on to attend competitive universities, pursue careers in technology, medicine, public service, and the arts, or contribute directly to their local communities. Student clubs and organizations play a major role in shaping school culture, from debate teams and science clubs to volunteer groups and cultural associations. These activities encourage leadership, collaboration, and social awareness. Athletics are another cornerstone of life at Wootton. School teams compete at a high level within Maryland’s public school system, fostering school spirit and teamwork. Participation in sports also supports student wellness, teaching discipline and resilience that extend beyond the classroom. Coaches and administrators stress balance, reminding students that academic success and personal growth remain the top priorities. Community involvement is deeply tied to the identity of Wootton High School. Parent-teacher organizations, alumni networks, and local partnerships contribute time and resources to support programs and campus improvements. This strong connection between the school and the surrounding community helps create a shared sense of responsibility for student success and safety. When concerns arise—whether academic, social, or security-related—the community response often centers on dialogue and cooperation. In the digital age, the way information spreads can shape public perception quickly. Misspellings such as wooton high school appear frequently online, demonstrating how easily confusion can arise when searching for information. For readers seeking clarity, it is always best to refer to the school’s official communications, district announcements, or trusted local news outlets. Doing so ensures that discussions remain grounded in fact rather than speculation. Ultimately, Wootton High School represents both the strengths and challenges of contemporary public education. It is a place where academic excellence, student diversity, and community values intersect. While discussions around safety and alarming keywords can capture attention, they should not overshadow the daily reality of teaching, learning, and growth that defines the school experience. As conversations about education continue to evolve, Wootton High School remains a case study in balance—between rigor and support, awareness and reassurance, vigilance and optimism. By focusing on accurate information, open communication, and student well-being, the school and its community continue working toward an environment where students can learn confidently and thrive
