The Challenge: Rivals III is the 28th season of the MTV reality game show, The Challenge. Being the third in the Rivals series, Rivals III marks the show's third trilogy (following the Inferno and Gauntlet series), continuing on from the original Rivals and Rivals II. It was filmed in Huatulco, Mexico and Buenos Aires, Argentina, with former cast members from MTV's Real World, Spring Break Challenge, Are You the One?, and Battle of the Bloodlines competing. This season marks the first since season 11 to not feature any original cast members from the Fresh Meat or Fresh Meat II challenges.

Unlike the previous two installments of the Rivals series, which featured same-gender pairs, this season will see a change in the format, with male/female pairs that had bitter feuds, fights or strained relationships in previous seasons of Real World, The Challenge and Are You the One? (similar to the Battle of the Exes series). Unlike the other Rivals seasons, only the winning team from each week's challenge will decide who will face the last-place team in the elimination round. The season premiered on May 4, 2016.[1] Lisa Fletcher replaced longtime Challenge producer Justin Booth as executive producer this season. Booth had served as the executive producer since season 15.[2][3]

Format

Each team participates in numerous challenges (sometimes called "missions"), which are followed by an elimination round — "The Jungle." The winning team of each challenge is safe from elimination, while the last-place finisher is automatically sent to the The Jungle.[5] The winning team also earns the right of choosing two teams that will face the last-place finisher in The Jungle. Prior to The Jungle, the two teams nominated by the winning team participate in a elimination draw in which all four participants either draw one of three white skulls or one black skull out of a bag (similar to the Free Agents season). If a participant draws a black skull, his/her team will face the last-place finisher in The Jungle.[6]

Unlike the original Rivals and Rivals II seasons, both of which featured same-gender pairs, no money is awarded to a gender-specific first-place finisher after each mission, as this season features male/female pairs. At the end of the season, three teams will compete in the final challenge for a share of a $350,000 prize — the first-place team wins $275,000, second-place wins $50,000 and third-place wins $25,000.[5]

Pre-season rivalry backgrounds

As with the first two Rivals seasons, Rivals III combines individuals who have had acrimonious or at least strained relations or interactions prior to the season. Unlike the first two Rivals seasons, which featured same-gender pairs, this season features male/female pairs. The following lists all the teams on Rivals III and explains why they've been paired and dubbed as "rivals." Each of the teams' history of animosity and/or open expressions of hostility are detailed as follows:

  • Bananas & Sarah: The two entered Battle of the Exes II with a long-running friendship, and an alliance that had lasted through many of their past seasons. During that season, however, Sarah played the game to win, and along with her partner Jordan Wiseley, fought to remove her toughest competition from the game whenever the opportunity presented itself. After Bananas re-entered the game as a result of the "Battle of the Ex-iled" twist, they continued to work together until Sarah decided to send Bananas into the final Dome elimination against Leroy Garrett and Nia Moore (who was replaced by Theresa González), which stunned Bananas and eventually sent him and his partner Nany home.
  • Brandon & Briana: Briana disagreed with the way Brandon was playing the game during their appearance on Are You The One? Season 2, especially with Brandon's unwillingness to separate from Christina.[5][7]
  • Cory & Ashley: The pair met as roommates during their original season of Real World: Ex-Plosion. They got along until Ashley got drunk and disrespected Cory by telling him she could buy his family. After that night, they continued to be on bad terms. After Ashley faced disagreements with many housemates, said she would only stay if the other roommates wanted her there. Cory was one of the four housemates to vote Ashley out, leading to her voluntary departure.[8][9]
  • Dario & Nicole: The two got into a huge argument with a bunch of people on Battle of the Bloodlines where Dario tried voting in Nicole's cousin Nany into The Pit.[10][11]
  • Devin & Cheyenne: The two got into multiple fights on Are You The One? Season 3, as the result of Cheyenne taking exception to the way Devin treated women in the house (especially Kiki Cooper).[5][12]
  • Jamie & KellyAnne: The two engaged in a verbal scuffle during Battle of the Bloodlines, after Anthony Cuomo, KellyAnne's cousin, purposely threw a challenge ("Too Clingy") in an unsuccessful attempt to save KellyAnne from The Pit. The two are also rumored to have gotten into many other arguments.[13][14]
  • Johnny & Jessica: Jessica never got along with Johnny and Averey Tressler during their original season on The Real World: Portland, as Jessica was called out for constantly needing attention by multiple housemates. Jessica also sided with Nia Moore during a tense night out between Nia and Averey. They got into multiple verbal fights where Johnny made denigrating remarks regarding Jessica's weight, calling her a "defect," and Jessica making fun of Johnny's small penis. This fight eventually made her cry and made her cry multiple times because of this, and on an aftershow, Johnny disapproved of Jessica's refusal to condemn Nia's behavior in the house. Their rivalry continued on Free Agents, where Jessica voted for Johnny to go into the elimination round (which was cancelled due to Frank Sweeney's unexpected departure).[15][16][17]
  • Leroy & Averey: Leroy & Nia Moore eliminated Averey & Johnny Reilly on Battle of the Exes II. On an episode of the aftershow, Leroy stated that he believed Johnny's side of the story regarding Johnny and Averey's breakup, mouthing off on-stage that she was a liar.[5][18]
  • Nate & Christina: The two began to grow close on their season of Are You The One? Season 2, with both feeling that they could be a perfect match. However, when it was discovered that they were not, the ease with which Christina decided to go back to Brandon Tindel infuriated Nate, causing him to belittle her and claim her feelings for him were never real. Christina, in turn, started an actual relationship with Brandon.[5][19]
  • Nelson & Amanda: During Are You The One? Season 3, Nelson was repulsed by Amanda's loud and obnoxious behavior. He also had took the side of another housemate who had hit Amanda due to her behavior.[20]
  • Thomas & Simone: The pair engaged in a verbal altercation during Battle of the Exes II, which featured Simone splashing drinks in Thomas' face. This fight had gone un-aired on the actual season, but was shown in the Battle of the Exes II trailer. The fight was revealed to be over Thomas not minding his business and Simone getting angry.[5][21]
  • Tony & Camila: The two got into a verbal argument on Battle of the Bloodlines after Camila was informed by her sister, Larissa Nakagawa, that Tony called Larissa "short, weak, and that she would be the first person eliminated from the game." Tony defended himself by calling it lies, but later he confessed that he was being sarcastic. The fight escalated when Nicole Ramos stepped in the defense of the Nakagawa sisters, and Nany González came in the defense of her bloodline Nicole. The fight was stopped with Tony walking away and Camila crying because she didn't want her sister to be bullied by anyone.[22][23]
  • Vince & Jenna: Jenna was annoyed by Vince during Battle of the Bloodlines. Vince (and his bloodline Bananas) also threw Jenna (and her bloodline Brianna Julig) into every elimination possible, and eventually, Jenna always came back and made it further in the game than Vince.[5][24]
  • Wes & Nany: The two were on rival teams on Battle of the Exes II. Wes and Nany's partner, Johnny Bananas, battled for supremacy within the game. As a result, Wes and Theresa González sent Nany and Johnny "Bananas" Devenanzio into the Dome versus their friends and allies, Leroy Garrett and Nia Moore. Nany and Bananas were eliminated, but later re-entered the game via the "Battle of the Ex-iled" twist. Later in the game, Wes and Theresa were sent into an elimination against Leroy and Nia. During the "Hall Brawl" elimination, Wes was injured after being run into by Leroy, to which Nany laughed and taunted Wes as payback for their earlier animosity in the game.[25][26][27]

Gameplay

Challenge games

  • Give Me Some Slack: A platform is suspended 400 feet above the ocean. A series of five skulls is dangling from the platform. The girls are positioned outward at one plank, facing the dangling skulls, while their male partners are positioned on the other side of the platform, holding a rope that is attached to the backs of their female partners. The goal is for each girl to lean forward and retrieve as many skulls as possible, or in the fastest time, and deposit the skulls into their team bucket. Each successive skull becomes more difficult for each girl to reach, and a team is disqualified if the female partner falls off the plank. The team to retrieve the most skulls wins, while the last-place finisher is automatically sent to The Jungle.[5]
    • Winners: Vince & Jenna
  • Dirty Laundry: Teams are positioned on a pole within a giant tub. The pole is coated with a bar of soap. Each team must use friction with their bodies (in a suggestive manner) in order to erode the soap and reveal four numbers on the wheel. Each team then runs toward a "clothesline" and a bucket full of t-shirts with numbers on them, and must dig through the bucket, then find the four t-shirts with the correct numbers, then hang the t-shirts on a clothesline.[20]
    • Winners: N/A[g]
  • Out On A Limb: A structure, with four platforms, is suspended 30 feet above the water. Each team must advance in unison from platform to platform by using a swinging bar, and there will be a bell at the end of the last platform in which each team must ring. Each successive platform becomes farther and more difficult for each team to reach. The team to advance the farthest or ring the bell in the fastest time wins, while the last-place team is automatically sent to The Jungle.[28][29]
    • Winners: Cory & Ashley
  • Laps of Judgement: Just like a game of "Would You Rather...," teams have two options at five checkpoints. After each checkpoint is completed, each team grabs a token and runs up a hill and has to scale up a wall. After they put their token on their designated team rack, they have to race down the hill and repeat the process. The first team to obtain all five tokens wins the challenge.
    • Round 1: Would You Rather... Eat Brains? or Eat Balls? Teams have to pick between eating cow brains or bull testicles.
    • Round 2: Would You Rather... Reel It In? or Rock It Out? Teams must chose between lassoing and pulling in a 150 lb. drum, or tossing and landing five rocks on top of a drum.
    • Round 3: Would You Rather... Be Sleepy? or Be Tired? Teams must choose between carrying a queen size mattress up the hill, or carrying five tires up the hill. (Note: After Vince & Jenna finished Round 3, T. J. Lavin explained that they accidentally took Dario & Nicole's mattress. Due to that mistake, they had to take their mattress up the hill.)
    • Round 4: Would You Rather... Build a Bridge? or Build a House? Teams must choose between completing a bridge or a house out of tangram puzzle pieces.
    • Round 5: Would You Rather... Eat a Birthday Cake? or Be in your Birthday Suit? Teams must choose between eating an entire birthday cake, or racing up the paved path naked.[30]
    • Winners: Bananas & Sarah
    • Disqualified: Tony & Camila[h]
  • Road To Nowhere: A platform, with a runway, is suspended 400 feet above the ocean. Each team will ride a cart toward the end of the runway, where a series of green, yellow and red flags will be standing. Each teammate will try to collect as many flags as possible, before riding off the platform. Each flag is worth a series of points — 5 points for green, 10 points for yellow and 15 points for red; the latter two colored flags will be more difficult for each team to retrieve. The team to collect the most points in the fastest time wins, while the last-place finisher is automatically sent to The Jungle.[31]
    • Winners: Nate & Christina
    • Disqualified: Jamie & KellyAnne
  • Up All Night: Partners have to stand next to each other at the Jungle site on boxes overnight, and memorize certain details of the events that occur, which includes a mariachi band's performance, a taco truck and a man catching fire. Once an air horn sounds, each team will be required to step down to a smaller box, where a lack of sleep will make it challenging for each player. No sitting or leaning is allowed, and the first team to have one player fall off or step off the boxes is automatically sent to the Jungle. When morning arrives, each team will attempt to solve a puzzle based on the previous evening's events. The first team to correctly solve their puzzle is safe from elimination and wins $1,000 each. The winning team also gets to pick 2 teams to go on a day trip with them and will also be safe from the Jungle.[32][33]
    • Winners: Bananas & Sarah
    • Safe: Vince & Jenna and Cory & Ashley

Jungle games

  • Back It Up: Teams have to shimmy their way up a wall while facing each other, transfer ceramic pottery on their laps, and deposit the pottery into a cargo net through a hole at the top of the wall. If a team drops a piece of pottery, they have to start over at ground level. The first team to deposit three pieces of pottery through their designated hole in the wall wins.[6]
    • Played by: Johnny & Jessica vs. Devin & Cheyenne
  • Weight For Me: The guys will be using a pulley system connected to their female partner on the other side of a wall. The object is for the women to memorize a tile puzzle at the top of the wall and piece it together at the bottom of the wall. The first team to complete their puzzle wins.[29]
    • Played by: Nelson & Amanda vs. Johnny & Jessica
  • Chill Out: Teams have to build a puzzle, featuring a series of wooden planks and discs, while moving back and forth from an ice tub. To start, each team will sit in the tub for one minute, then will try to stack their puzzle pieces until it reaches the height at their designated station. If the puzzle is not solved within two minutes, a team must return to their ice tub for another minute, and the process continues until the first team to correctly solve their puzzle wins.[31]
    • Played by: Jamie & KellyAnne vs. Nelson & Amanda
  • Hear Me Out: Teams engage in a soccer match within a large square, while blindfolded. Played in same-gender rounds and a best-of-three, each player is guided by their partners, who are standing outside of the arena. The first team to win two rounds wins, and if a tie occurs after the first two rounds, a coin flip will occur to determine which gender competes in the tiebreaker round.[33]
    • Played by: Wes & Nany vs. Jamie & KellyAnne

Though Tony & Camila did it by accident, they were automatically sent into the Jungle instead of Nate & Christina.[30]
