Evelyn Smith has definitely kept busy over the years, and her experience being part of a team and solving puzzles may have helped her significantly with her career path, according to her LinkedIn. After graduating from Harvard, she held many positions before ultimately being an organizer for Kirsten Gillibrand's presidential campaign until she dropped out. But Smith jumped ship and started working on Pete Buttigieg's campaign, which also ended prematurely. But she's continued keeping one foot in politics, and she presently works as the organizing director of Lori Lightfoot for Chicago.
With that kind of resume, it's understandable why Smith hasn't shown up in any of the more recent "The Challenge" seasons. The reality series recently launched the spin-off "All-Stars" on Paramount+, where previous players get another shot at glory. While it wouldn't be out of the question for Smith to appear there, fans probably shouldn't hold their breath. Smith is clearly on another path, and when she spoke with the University of San Diego all those years ago, she made it clear she didn't want to make a habit of being a reality TV star, "I would hardly call it a career. It's fun while it lasts, but you see a lot of washed up reality stars."
No one would expect Evelyn Smith to give up her career entirely to appear on "The Challenge" full-time. But it would be a real treat for fans to see her compete once again in at least one more season.
