Official Rankings of Best Male Challenge Players of All Time 1. Johnny Bananas - Self-explanatory. The Bananas Man has the most championship belts (5 of them) out of anyone to have ever compete in the show. He has a win in each of the basic format - teams, partner, individual - and that's something that no one else has under their track record. Johnny's spot as #1 perhaps will remain forever cemented in history, unless some of the next few placements below come back from the dead and rack up some more accomplishments. 2. Kenny Santucci - Arguably the most well-polished social and political player of all time. Regardless of the fact that he was just an average competitor when it came to missions and eliminations, Mr. Beautiful was always making the right moves and managing the game, and that's evident through his 6 out of 7 challenge final appearances and 3 challenge championships. 3. Landon Lueck - At number three is the complete opposite of number two. Unlike Kenny, whose game relied solely on social and political prowess, Landon relied mostly on competitions. The Golden Child is one of the best competitors to ever suit up in a challenge jersey. Because of his competitive abilities, Landon has gotten 3 out of 4 season wins and could've gone a perfect 4 for 4 if it wasn't for the flaky elimination game that eliminated him right before the final in the Duel II. 4. Darrell Taylor - Originally held the record for the most championship titles (4), until Johnny surpassed him just a few years ago with his Free Agents win. Darrell started 4 for 4, and could've gone 5 for 5 if he didn't punch a drunk Brad in the Ruins. His team, that was full of challenge greats, went on to win the final without him. What a shame. Darrell never really mastered any following aspects of the game, but was above average or good enough at each and every one of them: political, social, or competitions. 5. Mark Long - Rounding out the top five is the Godfather, who sets the record for having never gone into an elimination the longest out of anyone in challenge history. Mark has avoided 40 straight male eliminations without getting called in or eliminated, until he was finally sent into the last elimination on Battle of the Exes, where he lost against Johnny Bananas. 6. Evan Starkman 7. Derrick Kosinski 8. Mike Mizanin 9. Dan Setzler 10. Theo Von Honorable Mentions (in order): Abram, Brad, Wes, Alton, CT Edit: actually I'd put Evan at #5 and Mark at #6

I don't see how he's not top 10, lol. In 5 challenges he's done, he's made 4 finals and won 2 times. He's a top 10 competitor all time, and his social and political game was above average.

He has a lot of weak spots for me. He was a natural team leader but sometimes his team couldn't count on him. He fell short on several missions on the Gauntlet when his team looked to him for inspiration. He also tended to let his emotions get the best of him ("The Miz" on Seasons, voting based on whoever his girlfriend/hookup was at the time) plus his whole BOTS2 performance was a disaster. Not sold on him being a top 10 player.

No matter how you slice it and dice it, I think the cemented top 4 all time is: Johnny, CT, Landon, and Jordan. You can make a great argument for any order.
Johnny and CT have the most accomplished longest careers, whereas Jordan and Landon had the most dominant shortest careers.
After 1-4, I think I would rank 5-10 something like this.
5. Evan
6. Kenny
7. Darrell — Bill Russell effect, has the most wins (other than Johnny) in Challenge history, but I wouldn’t necessarily call him the best player. His first three wins weren’t all that impressive. Even his Fresh Meat win, I wouldn’t put above CT’s Rivals II and War of the Worlds II; Johnny’s Battle of the Exes, Free Agents, and Rivals III; Jordan’s Battle of the Exes II and War of the Worlds II; Landon’s Inferno II and Fresh Meat II; Evan’s Duel 2 and Ruins; and Kenny’s Ruins.
8. Mark
9. Derrick
10. Mike Mizanin
Honorable Mentions: Theo, Dan, Abram, Alton, Wes, Brad, Jamie Murray
