Turabi Camkiran aka Turbo
MTV’s The Challenge, the long-running reality series has come back stronger than ever in Season 33 with the War of Worlds. While this cycle includes O. G. competitors like Johnny Bananas, C. T. Tamburello, and Cara Maria Sorbello, this international season invited 18 rookie contestants from all over the world. And while it’s hard to stand out in a group of fiercely competitive reality TV stars, Turabi Camkiran, aka “Turbo,” does it naturally.
Partnered up with seasoned MTV personality Nany Carmen Gonzalez, Turbo quickly became a fan favorite. Not only does he look like he could kill a man with his bare hands, he has a heart of gold, and actually respects women. Oh, and he’s single. So, move over Jenna and Zach, he will likely be one half of the next Challenge power couple.
If the 30-year-old warrior seems like a natural on camera, that’s because he cut his teeth winning not one, but two seasons of Survivor Turkey. With a background in Taekwondo and Brazilian jiu-jitsu, it’s a safe bet that this beast of a competitor will make it quite far on War of the Worlds. The only question is… will he win the whole thing?

Turbo even trains underwater, and lifts the kind of weights his fellow Challenge contestants could only dream about. He is also superhero fast as a runner.

Therefore, it’s unsurprising to learn Turbo won Survivor Turkey, and was again crowned champion when he returned to Survivor All Stars Turkey. Turbo almost won a third consecutive season, but had to exit the series early due to an injury.
