Several relationships formed during The Challenge 38: Ride or Dies, but Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio’s apparent connection with rookie Moriah Jadea went unnoticed. Fans have caught the two spending a lot of time together and a couple of kisses in scenes. However, it hasn’t become a storyline in the season. Moriah appeared on Bananas’ podcast Death, Taxes, and Bananas, where he admitted the two had a “full-blown Challenge relationship.”
Johnny’ Bananas’ Devenanzio called romance with Moriah Jadea a ‘full-blown Challenge relationship’
During an episode of the Death, Taxes, and Bananas podcast, host and seven-time champ Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio started the episode by introducing his guest. He explained that the person is someone he has a “connection with” that caught him off guard. The host continued and noted that while the new relationship has gotten pushback, it’s rare that competitors find someone they “click with” in the house. Additionally, he called it a “full-blown Challenge relationship,” although he pointed out that the “showmance” hasn’t received any airtime. He then joked about the person being Devin Walker, as the comments also correlate with his new relationship with his former rival before introducing Moriah. Recently, two-time finalist Paulie Calafiore threw shade at the couple as he rudely made fun of the rookie for getting involved with Bananas. While their apparent relationship has shocked many fans and castmates, her partner, veteran Faysal “Fessy” Shafaat, doesn’t seem surprised, noting they both have a similar sense of humor.
