The Challenge: USA is a spin-off of the long running reality television series The Challenge. It premiered on CBS on July 6, 2022.[2][3]

Background

The Challenge: USA features cast members from CBS' reality shows: Big Brother, Love Island, Survivor and The Amazing Race.[3]

In February 2022, a new series of international seasons was announced to air later in the year. The series is expected to comprise four new editions of The Challenge which includes The Challenge: USA, along with three international versions for Australia, Argentina, and the UK. These local renditions are expected to be followed by a fifth series in which winners compete again on another season titled The Challenge: Global Championship, which is also expected to air on Paramount+.[3]

Format

USA consists of a daily challenge, winner's selection and an elimination round. Players compete as male/female pairs which change for each cycle of the game.

  • Daily Challenge: Players compete in a main challenge in male/female teams of two. The last-place team is automatically sent to the elimination round. The winners earn $5,000 each for their bank account and the power to select a second team to compete in the elimination against the last-place team.
  • Eliminations ("The Arena"): The last-place team from the daily challenge compete in an elimination round against the team selected by the winners of the daily challenge. The losers are eliminated while the winners remain in the game and are awarded all the money in their opponent's bank accounts.
Twists
  • Bank Accounts: Each player starts the game with $1,000 in their account. To be eligible to compete in the Final Challenge, players must accumulate at least $5,000. They can earn money for their account by winning daily challenges or eliminations.
  • The Algorithm: From episode two, an algorithm assigns players a new partner of the opposite gender for the next cycle of the game. Players must be assigned a partner they haven't previously been paired with, and cannot have the same partner twice in a row if they have already paired with each eligible remaining player.

Gameplay

Challenge games

  • Down to Do the Math: Played two teams at a time, teams must rappel down the side of a 22-story building, solve a series of math operations assigned to them along the way and answer once they reach the ground. If teams answer incorrectly three times, they must climb the stairs to the top of the building and rappel again. The team with the fastest time wins while the team with the slowest time is automatically sent to the Arena.
    • Winners: Angela & Tyson
  • Yeah Buoy:
    • Winners: Justine & Tyson

Arena games

  • Knot So Fast: Teams have 20 minutes to create as many knots as they can using a 250-foot rope within a pyramid structure. After those 20 minutes are up, teams switch positions and must untie their opponent's knots. The first team to untie their opponent's knots and place the rope inside their circle wins.
    • Played by: Azah & Kyland vs. Cely & Javonny
  • Knowledge Is Powered:
    • Played by: Cayla & James vs. Cashel & Tiffany
