Cory Wharton Reveals $2 Million Idea For The Challenge Season 40
Cory Wharton has been a mainstay on MTV’s The Challenge for many years and he offered an idea that will have him running back for season 40. Fans first saw Cory on Real World: Ex-Plosion, where he was surprised by his ex-girlfriend Lauren Ondersma joining the cast. This complicated matters for him as he had his eye on fellow cast member Jenny Delich. Following his stint on The Real World, Cory went on to compete on The Challenge with other reality television stars.
During The Challenge: Rivals III, Cory met Teen Mom star Cheyenne Floyd. They kept their relationship casual, and when Cheyenne became pregnant, they both weren’t sure if Cory was the father.
