CBS just announced the 28 reality show alumni who will be competing on The Challenge: USA. Big Brother‘s well represented with nine former contestants while Survivor and Love Island each have eight alums competing. Three former The Amazing Race participants are also set to take on new, grueling challenges.
The reality competition series will kick off on July 6, 2022 with an extended 90-minute premiere airing at 9:30pm ET/PT. New episodes hosted by T.J. Lavin will air on Wednesdays at 9pm.
CBS released the following description of the new addition to MTV The Challenge franchise:
“Upon arrival, the CBS reality titans are given $1,000 to start their individual challenge accounts, and they quickly discover they must battle to keep and increase their handsome reward. In each episode, an algorithm pairs contestants who will face off to earn money for their accounts by winning challenges or eliminating their opponents. This will not be an easy task, as they will be paired with a randomly selected competitor every episode, making alliances and strategies more difficult than ever.
Players must adapt to survive the game and protect their challenge accounts. With the $500,000 grand prize and title of Challenge Champion on the line, players will be in a constant state of paranoia, unable to trust anyone but themselves.”
