The Challenge: War of the Worlds is the thirty-third season of the MTV reality competition series The Challenge. This season featured alumni from The Real World, The Challenge, Are You the One?, The Bachelor Canada, The Bachelorette, Big Brother, Celebrity Big Brother UK, Love Island UK, Survivor Turkey, American Ninja Warrior, Party Down South, Geordie Shore, Ex on the Beach (Brazil, U.S., and UK), Telemundo, and Floribama Shore competing for a share of a $1 million prize.[1] The season had a "Basic Training" launch special on January 30, 2019, and premiered on February 6, 2019 on MTV.[2][3]
This is the first edition of the War of the Worlds series, with War of the Worlds 2 following in the fall of 2019.[4]
Format
[edit]This season featured 16 Challenge veterans and 18 prospects - debuting Challenge competitors from around the world. For the first ten episodes, the players competed in male/female pairs. Each veteran player paired with a prospect of the opposite sex. The Prospect picked their alumni partner based on the finish order of the opening "Impending Dune" challenge. Once in their pairs, the main phase of the game began. The main elements of the game are as follows:
- Daily Missions: Each round the pairs compete in the daily challenge. The top 3 pairs are immune from elimination and form the Tribunal for that round of play.
- Tribunal: The Tribunal collectively nominate three pairs to nominate for the elimination round. The nominated pairs then face the Tribunal's interrogation with each nominee having the chance to plea their case as to why they should not be voted-in to the elimination.
- Eliminations (The Killing Floor): At "The Killing Floor", the members of the tribunal each individually and publicly vote for a nominated pair to enter the elimination round. The nominated team must then call-out any non-immune pair, challenging them to the elimination. The losing pair is eliminated from the game, while the winner stays in the game and is given "The Relic" - which awards them immunity in the next round of play.
During the 10th episode of the season, the 7 remaining pairs were disbanded, with the 14 remaining players playing the rest of the competition as individuals - with players competing in challenges as individuals and eliminated as individuals. The game format remains mostly the same, but with each round of play being designated as a male or female round and only players of the designated gender are at risk of being eliminated, but any player can be part of that round's Tribunal. Additionally, the relic is no longer awarded to an individual elimination winner.
When eight players remain, they compete individually in the Final Challenge for their share of the $1,000,000 prize. First place received $750,000; second place received $200,000; third place received the remaining $50,000.
- Twists
- Purge: Some challenges are designated as a Purge challenge - sudden death challenges the losers are immediately eliminated. Two Purge challenge were held during the game:
- In the "Impending Dune" challenge, the worst finishing male and female prospect were eliminated before pairs were drafted.
- In the "Judgement Day" challenge, the worst finishing male and female were eliminated in the Penultimate Challenge of the game.
- Double Elimination: The "Ring Tossed" challenge was a Double Elimination in which three teams competed and four players were eliminated (opposed to the normal two players). The pair called-out by the nominated pair must also call-out a third pair - meaning 3 teams would compete to stay in the game. Then the three players of each gender compete against each other in the elimination and only the winner of each gendered heat remaining in the game. Should members of two different pairs win their gendered-heat, they form a new pair and continue in the game, while their original partner is eliminated.

Gameplay
[edit]Challenge games
[edit]- Impending Dune: Played in separate male/female heat time trial tests, players must race down a sand dune and retrieve a ball that has rolled down from the top of the dune. Players must then race back to the top of the dune with a ball to retrieve puzzle pieces, then race back down with their puzzle pieces to the bottom of the dune to a puzzle station. There are two more Prospects than Veterans — one male and one female, so the last-place finishers of each heat time trial test are eliminated from the competition.
- Winners: Paulie & Da'Vonne
- Eliminated: Josh & Liz
- Arms-a-geddon Tired: Played in two heat time trial tests of 5 minutes each, each team competes against another team in a tug-of-war.

After each heat time trial test, 3 teams will be eliminated from the mission, as the number of balls hidden, decreases. The last three teams who make it through all 4 heat time trial tests will form the Tribunal.
- Winners: Paulie & Natalie D., Wes & Dee, and Kam & Ashley C.

The first three teams to solve their puzzle tower correctly will form the Tribunal.
- Winners: Wes & Dee, Nany & Turbo, and Cara Maria & Theo
- Road Warrior: Played one team at a time, competitors must swing back and forth on top of two semi-trucks moving at 50 mph transferring rings over to their partner. There are sixteen rings total and the three teams who transfer the most rings the fastest will form the Tribunal.

- Played by: Dee vs. Da'Vonne
Final Challenge
[edit]The final challenge, The Death Path, was competed by the remaining eight players individually. The path was over 50 miles long. Each player's individual times were recorded and added up to determine the winner of the season at the end of the final. During the final, competitors were eliminated until four remaining competitors crossed the finish line where the results were announced.
Day one
[edit]First Leg: Players begin the final by running and cycling through a six-mile loop four times (24 miles overall). In the middle of the figure-eight loop there are five checkpoints each player must complete. Players can complete checkpoints at any stage during the 24 miles. If the checkpoint they wish to complete is currently occupied, they may wait, or continue with their 24 miles. Each checkpoint has a 20-minute time limit before players time out. Unbeknownst to the players, the Top 3 players of this stage would form the Tribunal for an Instant Elimination.
- Checkpoints
- On Point: Players stand behind a line and throw one ring onto each hook pointing out from a board.
- Pyramid Scheme: Players must complete a 5x5 grid puzzle so that each row and column has one of each color.
- Rampage: Players push a ball to the top of a ramp and into a basket using a provided pole.
- Skulled Out: Players must complete a vertical puzzle to form a picture of a skull.
- So Rolled: Players must roll a tire through a hole from behind a line.
- Tribunal: Theo, Turbo & Wes
- Eliminated: Georgia (8th place — DQ), Mattie (7th place — Quit)
Instant Elimination - Walk Tiny: Players hold on to a 50-foot rope that is connected to a monster truck. The truck slowly drives thus taking the players on a walk. The first person to fall or drop the rope would be eliminated.
- Played by: Hunter vs. Natalie D.
- Winner: Natalie D.
- Eliminated: Hunter (6th place)
Day two
[edit]Geography Trivia: Players are asked a series of multiple-choice geography trivia questions. If they answer a question incorrectly, they would be eliminated from the checkpoint. The last player standing would be driven for the first mile of the Second Leg in a dune buggy while the remaining four players must traverse the sand dunes on camelback.
- Winner: Cara Maria
Second leg: Players had to travel on camelback over a series of sand dunes, completing the checkpoints that the players encounter.
- Battle Ball: Players must wait for the next player to arrive. The two players place colored balls one at a time into a slot attempting to line four balls in a row (similar to Connect Four). The first player to line up four of their colored balls in a row is allowed to continue while the loser must wait for the next player to arrive to play again. The player who loses the final battle will receive a five minute time penalty, which must be served before continuing.
- Eating: The first player to arrive at the checkpoint may eat as much or as little of the provided food items as they like. Once finished, they must divide up the remaining plates of food among the remaining four players. Once the remaining players reach the checkpoint, they must eat everything they have been assigned before continuing.
Final leg: Players run five miles down a beach to reach four kayaks. Along the way, there is a math problem they must solve to unlock a kayak and paddle towards a boat wreck. As there are only four kayaks, the remaining player without a kayak will be eliminated. From the boat wreck, the remaining four players run down the beach to a lighthouse where the finish line is set up. Once the final four players have reached the finish line, their total times will be added together to determine the winner of War of the Worlds.
- Eliminated: Cara Maria (5th place)
Final results
[edit]- Winner: Turbo ($750,000)
- Runner-up: Theo ($200,000)
- Third place: Wes ($50,000)
- Fourth place: Natalie D. ($0)
