Is CT Tamburello walking away from MTV's 'The Challenge'?

Chris "CT" Tamburello earned his fifth "The Challenge" crown, as the finale of Season 37 "Spies, Lies, and Allies" aired Wednesday on MTV — the 41-year-old contestant's first time winning the show in back-to-back seasons.

Tamburello and fellow "Spies, Lies, and Allies" champion Kaycee Clark took home $400,000 each, bringing Tamburello's overall "Challenge" earnings to $1.36 million.

Is he satisfied enough to walk away from the popular reality competition series for good?

"If I were to ride off into the sunset now, I can ride off with my head high, and there's no woulda, coulda, shoulda," Tamburello told Entertainment Weekly. "I don't feel like there's any competition for me—I compete with myself, I don't compete with anybody else. I know people like to compare me to other people, but I don't. To me, I was always my worst enemy. And I feel like I won, I beat myself at my own game. So now, the sky's the limit."

When asked more specifically if he's ready to formally announced his "
"Challenge" retirement, however, Tamburello wouldn't go that far:

"I'll never make that mistake again—I did that before. I'll never say never. The Challenge is my home. I mean, I grew up with it. But I've done eight in a row. Back in the day, you did one show a year, maybe two, now it's just cranking these things out and the shoot is longer and longer and longer. My son's five years old. I film two shows a year, three months a piece, that's half the year I'm gone. I can't do that because he's older now. "I had a good run. I'll be honest with you, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little tired. [Laughs] I'd like to go spend some time with my family; this was the first year I actually spent Halloween with my son. That's my favorite holiday. I'd like to spend time with the family, enjoy the fruits, recenter myself, and maybe just take a break, take a little breather. I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Retire? I don't have it in me to ever say I'm going to retire. What else would I do? [Laughs] Besides the movie thing, I mean, that's been a lot of fun. It's nice to branch out. I just finished filming the remake to The Most Dangerous Game with Bruce Dern, Judd Nelson, Tom Berenger, Casper Van Dien. Talk about being thrown into the fire. Sheesh! And that'll be out soon—it's in post[-production] now."
