Chris Underwood made his debut on The Challenge flagship show for Season 42, and it’s been quite a run. Thanks to various alliances, Chris has been in a good position throughout the game, but as the only male player remaining on the combined blue and gray teams, his luck seemed to run out during the September 23 episode. (Warning: Spoilers for The Challenge: Cutthroat ahead.)
Unfortunately, since it was a male elimination week, Chris automatically went in for his team, and he lost to Justin Hinsley. Following his Survivor Season 38 win and victory on The Challenge: USA Season 2, this loss was a rare occurrence for the dominating competitor.
Chris spoke on the show about how he was competing for his wife and kids, and we rounded up everything to know about the family.
