1. SACHI — 174 POINTS 🏆
Roster: Bananas (53), Adrienne (51), Michele (45), Izzy (25)
Sachi’s championship was built on the league’s deepest roster and an extraordinary ability to keep contestants in the game. While other owners watched their teams slowly disappear, Sachi carried three players all the way to the Final. Bananas provided an immediate spark with an elimination victory in the premiere, while Michele quietly accumulated points through challenge wins, crying, and sheer longevity. Even Izzy, eliminated in Week 8, contributed a respectable 25 points before departing.
But Adrienne was the championship’s defining player. She consistently accumulated points through challenge victories, elimination appearances, emotional moments, and an early Finals qualification in Week 10. By the time the finale arrived, Sachi had three finalists positioned to collect bonuses. Bananas and Michele both earned WINR +10 in the final episode, sealing a comfortable victory. Sachi didn’t need the season’s highest-scoring individual contestant—she won by having three reliable contributors who peaked when it mattered most.
Also, for fun, here are all the players Sachi has used to win her five titles:
2. YASMINE — 137 POINTS
Roster: Will (44), Cassidy (41), Justin (35), Keanu (18)
Yasmine’s season was a masterclass in surviving setbacks. Keanu was eliminated in Week 5, but Justin emerged as a surprisingly valuable contributor, accumulating points through challenge victories, elimination appearances, and emotional moments. His Week 9 elimination victory over Chris was particularly important, helping Yasmine maintain her position near the top of the standings. Cassidy also proved remarkably resilient, surviving her Week 8 elimination and ultimately reaching the Final.
Justin’s Week 12 departure threatened to derail Yasmine’s championship hopes, leaving just Cassidy and Will. But both finalists delivered when it mattered, particularly Will, who earned a WINR bonus in the finale. Although Yasmine couldn’t match Sachi’s depth, her two finalists were just enough to hold off Kim by two points, securing the runner-up finish.
3. KIM — 135 POINTS
Roster: CT (50), Lete (35), Cory (26), Nelson (25)
Kim endured one of the season’s most dramatic roller-coaster rides. Cory’s departure in Week 7 and Nelson’s boot in Week 8 left Kim with only CT and Lete for the second half of the competition. Both departed contestants had contributed substantial points, but losing half the roster before the Final made a championship run increasingly difficult.
Then came the late-season surge. Lete’s Week 12 elimination victory delivered nine points, and CT exploded for 14 points in Week 13, collecting Finals, medical, and vomiting bonuses in a single episode. CT added another 11 points in the finale with his WINR bonus. Kim nearly pulled off an extraordinary comeback, climbing into third place and finishing just two points behind Yasmine. With two finalists and a furious closing stretch, Kim was arguably the season’s most dangerous late bloomer.
4. ROGER — 111 POINTS
Roster: Cara Maria (45), Anna Leigh (29), Josh (23), Nurys (13)
Roger’s season began with genuine championship potential. Cara Maria quickly established herself as one of the competition’s most productive fantasy players, collecting points from challenge victories, crying, medical incidents, and an elimination win in Week 6. Anna Leigh also provided steady production, including an elimination victory over Nurys in Week 4. Together, they kept Roger among the league leaders through much of the season.
Unfortunately, Roger couldn’t escape the elimination spiral. Nurys departed in Week 4, Josh was booted in Week 8, and Anna Leigh fell in Week 11. That left Cara Maria carrying the entire team into the Final. She finished with an excellent 45 points, but without a WINR bonus or additional finalists, Roger couldn’t keep pace with the teams above. Roger’s fourth-place finish was ultimately a story of strong individual performances undermined by roster attrition.
5. GEORGE — 109 POINTS
Roster: Tori (59), Deb (25), Leo (21), Cedric (4)
Nobody had a more top-heavy fantasy team than George. Cedric was eliminated in the premiere, Deb followed in Week 6, and Leo was booted in Week 8. By the midpoint of the season, George’s championship hopes rested almost entirely on Tori. Fortunately, she turned out to be the highest-scoring fantasy contestant of the entire season.
Tori’s late-season performance was spectacular. She survived eliminations in consecutive Weeks 10 and 11, earning a combined 21 points across those two episodes. She qualified early for the Final, survived all the way to the finish, and collected another 13 points in the finale through her WINR bonus and crying points. Her final total of 59 was eight points higher than Adrienne’s. Unfortunately, one superstar couldn’t overcome the lack of supporting players. George finished fifth, just two points behind Roger, despite rostering the season’s fantasy MVP.
6. JON — 63 POINTS
Roster: Chris (30), Sydney (22), Brad (6), Reilly (5)
Jon’s season was a slow-motion disaster. Reilly disappeared in Week 2, Brad followed in Week 3, and Sydney was booted in Week 5 after producing 22 points. That left Chris as Jon’s final hope. To his credit, Chris was a productive fantasy player, collecting points through challenge victories, elimination appearances, crying, and even vomiting. But the roster simply couldn’t withstand losing three contestants so early.
Chris survived until Week 9, when Justin defeated him in elimination, officially ending Jon’s season five episodes before the finale. With no contestants remaining, Jon watched the rest of the league accumulate Finals and WINR bonuses while his total remained frozen at 63. Jon’s season illustrated the cruelest reality of Challenge fantasy: it doesn’t matter how talented your players are if they aren’t around to score.
🏆 The Championship Difference
Sachi won through depth, durability, and timing.
Consider the difference between Sachi and George. George drafted the season’s highest-scoring contestant in Tori, but Sachi had three players who finished among the top six. Adrienne was the steady accumulator, Bananas delivered elimination and championship points, and Michele survived long enough to become a valuable Finals contributor.
Sachi also benefited from extraordinary roster preservation. Izzy was the team’s only elimination, and she lasted eight weeks. Meanwhile, Jon lost his entire roster by Week 9, and Roger and George entered the Final with only one player apiece.
The defining statistic: Sachi entered the Final with three contestants and left with two WINR bonuses. That combination made the difference between a competitive season and a convincing championship.
Final verdict: George had the MVP. Kim had the comeback. Yasmine had the consistency. But Sachi had the team.
