Johnny “Bananas” Devenzanio may have been his biggest doubter going into season 35 of The Challenge, but that just made winning that much better.

When the reality star, 35, crossed the finish line during the Wednesday, July 15, finale, he solidified his seventh win — his first since 2016 — and took home the $500,000 prize.Directly after winning, there was a part of Bananas, 38, that considered hanging up his Challenge helmet for good, he revealed exclusively during the “Watch With Us” podcast.“There was, I tell you what, after this final was over.

But that’s how I feel after every season. That’s why I always like to have some time after to just let it all like sink in and come back to reality,” the 20-time competitor said.
