Summary
Will has been making waves in The Challenge world since the first episode of Season 41. Between his show-mances with Dee and Nany, altercations with both Gabe and a kitchen wall, rocky roads with his very own partner Olivia and several online "crash-outs" recently, Will has become one of the most discussed rookies on this season. Now...most people have him partially confused with the similarly dapper Jake, but that's besides the point. Will makes his Challenge Mania debut to tell his story and as you might expect...he does NOT hold back!
