"The Challenge" veteran Darrell Taylor got his reality TV start as part of the cast of "Road Rules: Campus Crawl" in 2002 and he currently holds the record for most consecutive wins with four. He made his "Challenge" debut in the show's seventh season, "The Gauntlet," appearing as part of Team "Road Rules" alongside a future member of the cast of "Grimm," David Giuntoli. Team "Road Rules" took the win over the "Real World" team that featured Mike "The Miz" Mizanin. Taylor appeared in the very next season of "The Challenge," entitled "The Inferno," which took place in Acapulco, Mexico, and was the first season hosted by former X Games BMX star Dave Mirra. Once again a part of Team "Road Rules," Taylor was on the winning side, again defeating Mizanin and a Team "Real World" squad that saw the "Challenge" debut of "Real World Paris" contestant Chris "CT" Tamburello.
Taylor did not appear in the ninth season of "The Challenge," subtitled "Battle of the Sexes 2," but returned for the 10th installment, "The Inferno 2." Unlike the seasons in which he previously appeared, Season 10 did not divide the competitors into teams based on which series they'd been on. Instead, they were split into Good Guys and Bad Asses, based on whether they'd played a "hero" or "villain" role in previous appearances. Taylor and the remaining Good Guys, including Jamie Chung and Mizanin, came out on top, dealing Tamburello and Team Bad Ass the L.
Skipping "The Gauntlet 2," Taylor next appeared on Season 12 of "The Challenge," a.k.a. "Fresh Meat." Like the name implies, this was the first season in which the show expanded its format to feature competitors who'd not previously appeared on either "Road Rules" of "The Real World." Twelve veterans were each paired with a newcomer of the opposite sex, with Taylor and partner Aviv Melmed coming out on top.
