Diem Brown’s costars will always keep her memory close.
As seen in E! News’ exclusive sneak peek at The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras‘ launch special, airing Aug. 7, the MTV alum—who died in 2014 following a battle with ovarian cancer—is honored with a memorable picture from her time on the competitive series.
It’s an image that CT Tamburello, who dated Diem for nearly two years until 2009, couldn’t help but to stop in front of after taking all the memories in.
“You can’t help but feel nostalgic walking in,” CT shared in a confessional, “and seeing all these banners, you know? Just every time you look at a banner or flag, you get [the] rush, the memories.”
But CT wasn’t the only one that became emotional over seeing the image of Diem, who was open about her health journey during her times on the series, wearing a blue bandanna.
