Chris "CT" Tamburello is an American reality television personality best known for his long-running presence on MTV’s "The Challenge." He first gained fame in 2003 as a cast member on "The Real World: Paris," where his fiery personality and physical prowess quickly stood out. CT transitioned into "The Challenge" franchise, becoming one of its most iconic and dominant competitors across over two decades.

Known for his intense competitive drive, dramatic rivalries, and emotional personal journey — including the death of his former partner Diem Brown — CT evolved from a hot-headed rookie into a respected veteran and multi-time champion. Outside of reality TV, he has made occasional appearances in films, including the 2022 movie "The Most Dangerous Game," and has explored work in real estate and acting.
