These all-star competitors shared their perspective about how the long-running TV series is "one of the toughest sports mentally and physically," according to Mizanin.

Ferreira added, "The Challenge is a really competitive sleepover camp."

Devenanzio also noted, "It's got strategy, it's got manipulation."
