Their goal was to win the grand prize of $1 million, but unfortunately, they didn’t receive much screen time in the first episode.
They were eliminated from the game even before the first challenge took place. Kaycee has explained their disqualification. As we look forward to Season 39 of The Challenge, let’s take a moment to revisit the elimination of these siblings.
Right before the first challenge began, the host TJ Lavin made an announcement that forced Kaycee and Kenny to leave the game. In their absence, two new teams, Olivia Kaiser and Horacio Gutierrez, and Nam Vo and Emmy Rus, were brought in as replacements.
Understandably, many fans were curious about the sudden disappearance of Kaycee and Kenny. Before filming, Kaycee had also been removed from Big Brother 22 due to an unfortunate diagnosis.
Did Kaycee & Kenny Have the Virus?
Kaycee and Kenny were hit by COVID-19 again, disrupting their filming for The Challenge. Kaycee shared, “My brother and I contracted it while we were on our way to Argentina for the season. We got sick and tested positive.”
Fortunately, Kaycee didn’t experience any symptoms, but the news came as a shock. Despite this setback, it seemed that viewers would still see more of Kaycee and her brother in the season, as they returned to the competition after the first week.
Surprisingly, there were no other cases of medical disqualification due to COVID-19 throughout Season 38 of The Challenge.
How Did Kaycee & Kenny Do on the Challenge?
After the first episode aired, fans were thrilled to see Kaycee in the season trailer. It was a confirmation that she and her brother would be making a comeback on The Challenge, determined to win the prize money.
As expected, the siblings reentered the competition and gave it their all. Unfortunately, Kenny’s journey was cut short as he was eliminated early on. But a surprising twist gave them another shot at staying in the game together.
In a nail-biting race against Jordan Wiseley and Aneesa Ferreira, Kaycee and Kenny narrowly lost and had to leave the game side by side.
Now that The Challenge 38 has come to an end, there’s a glimmer of hope that Kaycee and Kenny will make a comeback in future seasons.
This season brought a fresh twist as competitors had the opportunity to choose their partners in The Challenge: Ride or Dies, a first for the MTV series. As always, the show delivered its fair share of exhilarating moments and unexpected setbacks.
With a whopping $1 million prize at stake, the competitors went to great lengths to secure a spot in the final. We can only hope to see Kaycee and Kenny back in action someday.
Final Thought
As we bid farewell to this season, we hold onto the anticipation of what lies ahead, knowing that Kaycee and Kenny’s journey is far from over.
The Challenge continues to captivate audiences with its blend of competition, drama, and unexpected twists, ensuring that each new season holds the promise of thrilling adventures and unforgettable moments.
