Instagram Wes Bergmann and his wife Amanda Hornick.
Wes Bergmann is a veteran competitor on MTV’s The Challenge, and he’ll be returning for his 13th season of the show, Total Madness. He first appeared on the show in 2006 on Fresh Meat after appearing in The Real World: Austin. He is one of the top competitors on the show, making it to five finals and winning twice.
Wes is known as a crafty and clever player who is a polarizing figure in any Challenge house, especially due to his longterm rivalry with fellow veteran Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio. People might not know as much about Wes outside of the game, though, especially that he is married to Amanda Hornick Bergmann.
