'The Challenge': What is a 'security breach'? Fans theories speculate Ashley Mitchell's return to the show

Ashley's return is just an idea. A lot more can happen in Episode 12

As contestants gathered at the crater, host TJ Lavin announced a "security breach" with this: "In this season, nothing is as it seems." What followed was sheer panic and confusion among agents who were prepared to experience another elimination challenge. 

Cory Wharton predicted that it could either be all the girls in danger or the men, while Chris 'CT' Tamburello yelled: "Get the f*** out of here." Even as they were shocked that the showrunners would introduce a twist at such a time, they couldn't hold themselves back from speculating what would happen next.

At this point, we are all clueless and can only guess what a 'Security Breach' means. The last time we heard that terms were when a few agents left and one returned. Olivia Jawando and Nicole Zannatta had to bow out of the competition really early following injuries they suffered during the first wrestling task. 

A few weeks later, Natalie Anderson walked out and to fill in her position, the crew called Ashley Brooke Mitchell. Natalie was pregnant and happy to leave. Sadly, she suffered a miscarriage soon after she reached home. Ashley didn't last long in the game. She was around for two weeks only. Her stint on the show was ended by the super efficient Tori Deal. 

This brings us back to the question, what does a security breach really mean? Fans have some ideas and Ashley returning for the second time is one of them. 

"Lolo left and now they have 2 guys that need a partner. So either they bring a girl back or have like a 3 or 4 way guys elimination. Only options I can see," a fan predicted, while another shared: "Very interesting. So Lolo takes off, Devin & Gabby are compromised, and there’s another security breach. Hmmm someone’s gotta be coming back. Can it be next Wednesday already?"

"Because lolo quit they have to change things up. back in the day, nam would just be out and that would be that. bye bye nam. your partner quits, your gone too," one user posted. "Alright, please tell me the security breach is a 3 way guys elimination and 2 of them go home, giving both the rogue agents partners and squaring everything up," a fan tweeted. "I hope it’s Ashley that they bringing back," another wrote.
