During part 1 of The Challenge 40 reunion, which hit the small screen on Jan 15, tension rose as the cast discussed the season's highs, lows, and controversies. Hosted by Maria Menounos, the reunion brought various unsolved issues to the forefront, generating intense disagreements among the cast members. However, one moment that had fans buzzing was Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio's surprising mention of Moriah Jadea, a major player from The Challenge Season 39.

During the reunion, Bananas discussed his role in Devin Walker and Michele Fitzgerald's relationship, a recurring topic throughout the season. As Bananas explained why he attempted to interfere in their relationship, Michele confronted Bananas for using Devin's feelings for her to harm his game.

Bananas also accused Devin of hypocrisy, referencing similar actions during Ride or Die with Moriah. Despite the heated disagreement, Bananas stated that he was surprised to see Devin and Michele still together at the reunion. In a moment of harmony, the trio hugged it out, but not before Bananas added his typical comedic flair by pretending to make a move on Michelle.
