If you’re reading this, and you haven’t read any of my prior award series pieces, then I don’t know what you’re doing as a Challenge fan. Rivals 3 should never be something that catches your eye as something you NEED to read without prior knowledge. I’m not going to write long explanation for this one, these seasons are very recent, and Rivals 3 itself is a boring season. I wrote a fun Invasion awards piece after it happened

So let’s get this done:

MVPs

Rivals 3 Male: Johnny Bananas Female: Sarah Rice

They dominated the game, won almost all the Challenges in the second half of the season, and won the final.

Invasion Male: Shane Landrum Female: Ashley Mitchell

Ashley did the unexpected, in a crop of strong females, she won on her second Challenge. Shane’s coming out of retirement after a decade to be the best underdog of the season was a major surprise.

Rookie of the Year

Rivals 3 Male: Devin Walker Female: Ashley Mitchell

Great show personalities. Ashley was the hookup MVP, while Devin was the white skull king.

Invasion Male: Hunter Barfield Female: Nicole Zanatta

Two physical forces.
