The Challenge<\/em><\/a>‘s Nany Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong><\/a> is ready to take the money and run, T.J.\u00a0<\/p>\n After fighting her way into host T.J. Lavin<\/strong><\/a>‘s notoriously arduous finale four times in 14 seasons on the long-running MTV series without nabbing a championship, she viewed her time filming The Challenge All Stars: Rivals<\/em><\/a> as “a business trip,” the 36-year-old revealed in an exclusive interview with E! News. “I came in there probably the most focused I have ever been on a season. I was ready to get to that final.”<\/p>\n She credits her intensity to spending a few seasons on the sidelines.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I had taken three years off,” Nany explained of enjoying a hiatus after 2022’s Ride or Dies<\/em><\/a>. “I had three years to myself. It was a nice little refresher.”\u00a0<\/p>\n And she arrived in Vietnam eyeing some big dreams.\u00a0<\/p>\n “I would love to have the title,” she detailed during the show’s Jan. 29 premiere. “But, also, I could always use some money.” She and then-fianc\u00e9e Kaycee Clark<\/strong><\/a> were “in the process of planning our wedding,” she shared. “I want to have a baby. I want my own home, like, there’s so much that I would do with the money.”\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
