The Challenge: World Championship is a spin-off of the reality competition series The Challenge. The series features notable veterans from the MTV flagship series competing alongside the winners and select contestants from four spin-off seasons: The Challenge Argentina: El Desafío, The Challenge: Australia, The Challenge: USA and The Challenge UK.[2]

The series is hosted by the hosts of the four spin-off seasons: Brihony Dawson, Mark Wright, Marley and T.J. Lavin, and premiered on Paramount+ on 8 March 2023.[3][4]

Background

In February 2022, a new series of international seasons of The Challenge was announced to air later in the year. The series comprises four new editions of The Challenge, which includes The Challenge: USA, The Challenge: Australia, The Challenge Argentina: El Desafío and The Challenge UK.[5] These local renditions are followed by The Challenge: World Championship in which winners and select contestants of each series (known as "Global MVPs") compete again alongside cast members from the flagship MTV series (known as "Challenge legends").[4]

In addition to the title of The Challenge: World Championship champions, the winners of the season also receive US$500,000 (also displayed as ARG$89,475,607, A$726,638 and GBP£413,390).[6]

Format

World Championship consists of a daily challenge, nomination process, winner's selection and an elimination round. The first episode had only the "MVPs" (contestants from the spin-off seasons) competing individually. After the first elimination, each MVP picked their "Legend" partner (players from the flagship series) based on the order they completed the "Qualifier" challenge. The individual and paired format of the game is as follows:

  • Daily Challenge: Teams compete in a daily challenge where the last-place team is automatically sent to the elimination round. The winning team is immune and earns the ability to select a second team to compete in the elimination round between the two teams later selected at nominations.
  • Nominations: Teams, besides the winners and losers of the daily challenge, vote for two teams to compete in the elimination round. The two teams that receive the most votes are nominated for elimination.
  • Eliminations ("The Arena"): At the Arena, the winners from the daily challenge vote between the two nominated teams to select the second team to compete in the elimination round against the last-place team. The winners remain in the competition while the losers are eliminated.

Gameplay

Challenge games

  • Qualifier: In a special challenge, each MVP individually undergoes a race around the outside of the Cape Town Stadium, completing five checkpoints along the way. The first male and female MVPs to finish wins while the last-place male and female MVPs are automatically sent to the Arena. Additionally, the order MVPs finish determine the order they can select their partner for the season after the first elimination.
    • Checkpoint 1 (Eat Your Heart Out): Players must consume a foul-tasting meal and two vegan shakes.
    • Checkpoint 2 (Hammer It Home): Players must use a sledgehammer to hit a tyre proportional to their bodyweight to the end of a lane.
    • Checkpoint 3 (On a Roll): Players must use a large cement cylinder to roll across a track without touching the ground.
    • Checkpoint 4 (Weight for It): Players must arrange several weighted cylinders from lightest to heaviest, where the characters printed on the cylinders form an alphanumeric code. They must then recreate the code using tiles at a nearby solving station.
    • Checkpoint 5 (Plant Your Flag): Players must roll a heavy flagpole with their national flag across a field and plant it at the end to complete the race.
    • Winners: Grant & Zara
  • Chain Game: Teams race across several sand dunes to a shipwreck. From the shipwreck, teams must drag a 700-pound (320 kg) chain to one of several puzzles, which they must solve by looping the chain around poles to match the diagram. The further the puzzle is from the shipwreck, the easier it is to solve. After solving a puzzle, teams race back to the shipwreck to ring a bell. The first team to finish wins while the last team to finish is automatically sent to the Arena.
    • Winners: Jonna & Grant
  • Gates of Hell: Each round, teams race to the end of a 50-yard (46 m) corridor before a gate closes to progress to the next round, and are eliminated from the challenge if one or both team members do not reach the end in time. The last team standing wins. In the event of a stalemate after multiple rounds, a tiebreaker round is held where the first team member to reach the opposite gate wins the challenge for their team. To determine the last-place team if multiple teams are eliminated in the same round, the last contestant to reach the opposite gate loses the challenge and their team is automatically sent to the Arena.
    • Winners: Wes & Zara
  • Flying Around: To begin, each team member must drink a foul-tasting smoothie in two minutes; teams receive a five-point penalty for the challenge if they cannot finish the smoothie in time and/or a two-point penalty if they throw up any of the smoothie. Afterwards, one team member is harnessed on the arm of a spinning excavator. They must catch rings their partner throws to them and attempt to land them in a container in the middle of the field. The team with the most rings scored wins while the team with the fewest rings scored is automatically sent to the Arena.
    • Winners: Darrell & Kiki
  • Rocketman: Played one team at a time. One team member begins on one end of a giant inflatable airbag. Their partner must jump from a platform onto the other side of the airbag, attempting to launch them over three crossbars at varying heights. The more crossbars teams clear, the more seconds are deducted from their overall time. After landing in the water, each team member swims to collect one puzzle piece at separate platforms before combining them to solve a puzzle onshore. The team with the fastest overall time wins while the team with the slowest overall time is automatically sent to the Arena.
    • Winners: KellyAnne & Tristan

Arena games

  • Pole Wrestle: Players begin at the center of the Arena with both hands on a metal pole. The first player to wrestle the pole out of their opponent's hands three times wins.
    • Played by: Claudia vs. Kiki
  • Tether Brawl: One team member begins lying on a sling suspended over the Arena. From the ground, their partner must swing them back and forth so they can collect eight hanging blocks and drop them at their end of the Arena. If a block falls in the center of the Arena, both teams may attempt to claim it. After collecting all eight blocks, the team member on the ground must stack the blocks to form a tower. The first team to assemble their tower wins.
    • Played by: Jujuy & Nelson vs. KellyAnne & Tristan
  • Oiled Up: Teams must take buckets of oil up a steep ramp to fill a container at the top so that a ball rises to a marked line. The first team to finish wins.
    • Played by: Benja & Jodi vs. Nia & Rodrigo
  • Herculean Strength: One team member must hold up two weighted bars for as long as possible. Their partner can solve math equations to add weight to their opponent's bars; easier equations add 11 pounds (5.0 kg) while harder equations add 22 pounds (10.0 kg). The last player holding up their bars wins the elimination for their team.
    • Played by: Ben & Kaycee vs. Wes & Zara
