As MTV's The Challenge has successfully provided us with the only source of competitive sporting action for much of the last ten months, there's been one notable absence from not just this current season of Double Agents, but also the preceding one of Total Madness. It's something that been welcome to those many detractors and perhaps robbing us of quality competition on the female side of things... but it's a hiatus that has been very much needed after going through so much drama while winning two Challenge titles, the first leg of the Champs vs. Stars trilogy and everything else that's gone along with it.

Of course, we are talking about Cara Maria Sorbello... who received the rookie treatment of going home first on Fresh Meat II over a decade ago, but who went on to becoming the prominent female face of the fifth major pro sport. She and her recently married cousin Jamie Banks stood atop the victory stand in venerable Berlin Olympic Stadium when won Battle of the Bloodlines in 2016, then two years later won all the $500,000 to herself on Vendettas... and she has been a consistent visitor to the final during her career -- ten of them in all. And of course, she has had to go through a lot of drama along the way -- from relationships with two bad boys that split up Challenge Nation, to dealings with so many competitors that are too many to count during her 10-year career.

Since leaving the War of the Worlds 2 final having to watch Team UK race off with the $1 million in Thailand, Cara has quietly gotten back to the serenity of the Frontier North of this vast nation of ours. And it's being far away from the hustle and bustle of the big city that Montana has been an ideal place for her to enjoy quality time with the most important figure in her life.
