The Challenge Argentina: El Desafío is an Argentine spin-off of the American reality competition series The Challenge, featuring Argentinian reality television contestants and celebrities competing against one another in various challenges to avoid elimination.[2]

The series, hosted by TV presenter Marley, premiered on Telefe on February 13, 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, and an upcoming version for the United Kingdom.[5] These local renditions are expected to be followed by a fifth series in which winners and select contestants of each series will compete again on another season titled The Challenge: World Championship, which is expected to air on Paramount+.[6]

In addition to the opportunity to represent the Argentine series in The Challenge: World Championship, cast members also competed to win an ARG$15,000,000 prize pool.[7]

Format

Argentina: El Desafío consists of a daily challenge, winner's selection and an elimination round. Players compete in male-female pairs which change for each cycle of the game.

  • Daily Challenge: Players compete in the main challenge in male/female teams of two. The last-place team is automatically sent to the elimination round. The winners earn 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 winners remain in the game while the losers are eliminated.
Twists
  • The Algorithm: An algorithm assigns players a new partner of the opposite gender for each cycle of the game. Players must be assigned a new partner they haven't previously been paired with, and cannot have the same partner twice in a row if they have already partnered with each eligible remaining player.

Gameplay

Challenge games

  • El Patrón Letal: Teams race 800 metres down a path to a pattern covered by blinds. There, one team member must balance one-footed on a narrow pole to open the blinds and reveal the pattern for their partner to memorise. After the team member balancing falls off, teams must return to their board at the start and attempt to replicate their pattern, repeating this process until they correctly recreate the entire pattern. The first team to finish wins while the last team to finish is automatically sent to the Arena.
    • Winners: Juli & Oky
  • Remo y Corona: Played in two heats. Team members alternate turns paddling a surfboard to collect four crown pieces floating in a lake, then use them to assemble a crown. The team with the fastest time wins while the team with the slowest time is automatically sent to the Arena.
    • Winners: Juli & Rodri

Arena games

  • Enredo Piramidal: Teams have 15 minutes to create as many knots as they can using a 35-metre rope within a pyramid structure. After those 15 minutes are up, teams switch positions and must untie their opponent's knots. The first team to untie their opponent's knots and drag the rope across a marked line wins.
    • Played by: Adro & Eva vs. Burlando & Carolina
  • Hacete la Rata: Teams begin inside a giant steel wheel connected to a 120-metre rope with a ball at the end. They must spin the wheel to unravel the rope and pull the ball towards them. The first team to pull the ball towards their wheel twice wins.
    • Played by: Adro & Fernanda vs. Floppy & Lizardo
