Why Does Tommy Sheehan End up Leaving MTV’s ‘The Challenge’? (SPOILERS)

Tommy announced that The Challenge would be the last unscripted series that he will appear on. In Entertainment Weekly’s quarantine questionnaire, he was asked if he would return to either show given the chance. He answered, “The Challenge and Survivor were two of the coolest experiences I’ve ever done, especially Survivor since I’ve been a fan of the show forever.”

He went on to say, “However, right now, I’m taking my talents to the classroom. I love my life and career too much to leave again. This is where I officially announce my retirement from your television screens.”

Before competing on the shows, he was a fourth-grade teacher in the Floral Park-Bellerose school district, and it appears that he’s ready to get back to teaching.

The Challenge: Spies, Lies, and Allies airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. EST on MTV.

For as long as Tom can remember, he has understood the reality around him through the tinted glasses of works of fiction, be it books, films, TV shows, or anime. An English graduate, he wrote articles on a wide array of topics for several years, from entertainment and pop culture to history and literature. Before that, he was an educator and a roleplay game writer and developer. It is his deeply-rooted love for performing arts and visual media that led him to become a part of the DC team in 2020.
