Originally from London, Tula Fazakerley from The Challenge is more commonly known as Big T, and we've gathered information about her television history before MTV. She joined MTV's The Challenge: War of The Worlds in 2019. Right from the start, she was a stunning addition to the franchise. She is now famous to American audiences, but she actually started her television career on the British reality show, Shipwrecked: Battle of The Islands. This series aired on Channel 4. Shipwrecked was canceled after one season, but Big T's endearing authenticity and wit did not go unnoticed. She was invited to participate in The Challenge, which is known for its hard-to-watch eliminations, the same year.
On Shipwrecked, she showed the spark that would make her stand out on MTV. Shipwrecked features contestants that are sent to two islands (and two rival tribes) with the ultimate goal of luring castmates to their island, versus the alternative. Whichever island houses more partygoers by the end of the season gets 50,000 Euros that are divided among teammates. Early on, Big T briefly quarreled with Liv Jawando (another fiery personality), but the two quickly resolved the issue. Big T said, "I actually thought we were going to get on," and Liv conceded that the two had similar temperaments. However, she also said, "I think you're a little more "princessy" than me." This makes sense since Big T is a self-described "princess" on her Instagram. Big T was fun to watch, and MTV head honchos were watching. They were ready to cast her.
On Shipwrecked, she proved herself by being a positive problem solver. At one point, Big T suggested a game to distract from the toxic gossip that was circulating, mostly due to boredom. Unfortunately, Big T's team (the Sharks) ended up losing to the Tigers after the arrival of Jaden, Beth, Stacey, and Brad. They tipped the scales in the other islands' favor. While not as tactical as former iterations of the show (or The Challenge, which had a season 37 final that blew fans away), the beach lifestyle environment was more than sufficient in terms of cementing Tula "Big T" Fazakerly's value as an entertainer in the reality space. Along with three seasons of The Challenge, Big T has also been featured in the online series Bouji Babe Life Lessons on Pulped.com. On the series, she gives her two cents on topics like keeping your guard up around your mother-in-law.
Big T's expanding her reality presence slowly but surely, with Life Lessons. She's also impressed a ton of people due to her absolutely astounding performance on the most recent The Challenge season, Double Agents. It is considered the most entertaining season by many viewers. She had notorious veteran Christopher Tamburello at her side. Tamburello, better known as CT (that makes him Big T's phonetic twin) seemed to have found a perfect match. Despite some notable turbulence, CT coached Big T to her first elimination win, though she ultimately lost.
Double Agents hosted one of the most diverse casts and finals ever on the series. There was a distinct pride that resonated throughout the season as two black men and three POC women ascended to the final, with Amber Bozotra (a far more subtle rookie player) ultimately winning alongside CT. While she didn't bag the win herself, The Challenge and reality TV lovers everywhere have surely not seen the last of Big T.
