FYI: stopbeingpolite.com/2022/03/10/the-challenge-war-of-the-worlds-usa-tournament-official-cast/Not impressed with the Love Island and Big Brother players. Expecting a lot of show muscles and drama for air time. The Survivor players should do well judging by their performances on last two MTV Challenge seasons. Survivor players are very strategic and can do the physical challenges. Not a fan of Tyson but he is a favorite Survivor winner, some reviewers think at 40 he is too old. Dudes, look at Mark Long, he is older and did remarkable well on All Stars 2. I am hoping the Amazing Racers do well and fall into the same category at the Survivor players. You have to be fit and have endurance for the Amazing Race. Hope their social game and strategy is up to par.

FYI: ew.com/tv/the-challenge-usa-cast-survivor-big-brother-amazing-race-love-island/?did=791780-20220608&utm_campaign=ewk-tv_newsletter&utm_source=ew.com&utm_medium=email&utm_content=060822&cid=791780&mid=89277573926Luv the format especially the random partnerships. I am sure there will be alliances but I hate the Big Brother Alliance on the regular Challenge and so I am glad the random partnerships will help break up that type of strategy. I expect the Survivor and Amazing Race competitors to be physically capable and to be strategic. Survivor because they have to be strategic, social, and physical. They are used to a 3 day filming pace and a lot of time off, will the Challenge pace be more intense. The Amazing Race cast will be used to being on all the time racing even while traveling from point to point. Hopefully all have learned from the show to read the clue. Big Brother players can be strategic and social as they have to be for the show but can they have that high level of physical ability required to do well? I am not expecting much from the Love Island cast except lots and lots of drama/chaos. Will any of their show muscles be functional?

Rumours:
Tyson Apostol had been on podcasts (I think it was RHAP) slamming the Challenge USA production claiming it was very unprofessional, that the challenges were not good, and that production was upset when cast members didn't behave a certain way. It's a reality TV show folks it is supposed to be unscripted.

Thoughts:
28 players:
14 men 14 women
8 Survivor players - 4 men and 4 women 3 Amazing Race players - 2 men and 1 woman 8 Love Island players - 3 men and 5 women 9 Big Brother players - 5 men and 4 women

The podcasts are already airing cast lists and speculating how well they will do. Many fans are already predicting Big Brother will dominate because of previous season alliances. However it depends on the format of the show and currently we know that there will be different people paired each daily challenge. At this point we don't know how elimination will be handled.

Three minute teaser to the show: www.youtube.com/watch?v=G934MjScS2g[/urlTop prize: $500,000 Everyone starts with a Challenge purse containing $1000. You need to have $5000 to qualify for a spot in the final. How do you earn $5000? 1. Win a (Daily) Challenge. 2. Win an Elimination. Well that makes people focused on winning a daily Challenge or an Elimination. However once you have $5000 in your purse that makes you a target. You can also earn a spot on the first global Challenge tournament which will be streamed from Paramount +, this implies even if you don't win the Challenge USA if your performance is good enough you will also go to the global tournament with folks from Argentina, Australia, and UK will compete with folks from the MTV Challenge cast.

I've never watched The Challenge on MTV, but am interested in this version. The videos/teasers were fun to watch! I like a lot of the contestants, but wonder how well people like Derek will do.... It doesn't seem like a fit for him, but I like him so will enjoy whatever time he spends on the show. Same with Tiffany; I like her, but can't see her dominating the competition!! Cely has about NO shot, though, does she? She's tiny! She doesn't seem athletic! But she's a riot, so I hope we see her having fun (and not getting hurt!). Cash is such a drama queen, and with Cinco there, ugh -- am NOT looking forward to seeing that b.s., I can't stand her. Shannon is a mess too. Why are they there? I could see Justine doing okay, since she seems pretty athletic. Not sure about the other boys (Cashel? Javonny?). We never saw much of their athleticism on Love Island. I like the Survivor players for making it to the end. There are some good competitors! Tyson doesn't bother me much any more, he can be funny and ironic. Enzo's funny too. I've never cared much for Ben, but maybe he'll be okay. Dom? Eh. There are some big muscles coming in - women and men, so I could see all those players doing well. I don't remember Desi, but boy is she fit! Sarah is always strong, Tasha, Cinco, Danny, Xavier, Ky and more of them have been hitting the gym obviously. But I hope they kick Shan out first thing. The one Afghanimal will be interesting to watch, along with the girl who came in 2nd this past season on TAR! I love that show, and am surprised they didn't get more contestants from it.

Surprisingly many smaller women do get to the final. It is not about totally dominating the game physically from the first challenge. This is a long slog. This is a social, political, mental, and physical game. There is a reason folks on Survivor get upset when a small wiry man or nerdy female wins especially if one of the last 3 is a physical beast (the viewers fall in love with the muscles and if the guy is halfway good looking they instantly think he should be given the win). It also depends if you work well with others, have good partner skills, can do puzzles, can do math, as well as being physical. It is fun to watch the big alpha males try to dominate from day one. The best plan is to make those guys your meat shield. Amber Borzotra from MTV Challenge Double Agents season is a prime example of a small fragile looking female with great cardio skills making it to the end and winning when no one thought she had a chance. People's social and political games will get them far also. Leo, one of the Afghanimals could also get very far he has the functional speed and can stay calm under pressure, he just can't swim.

One thing that is truly awesome to watch is how folks treat their partners on this show. I have seen the men be very nasty to their female partners. Many of the men are physical beasts and are brutal or severely lacking in partnering skills. The thing is your partner maybe the math wiz, the puzzle master, and you need that to win the daily challenge. Messy Fessy is famous for being nasty to his partners on the MTV Challenge. One of the girls he was nasty to ending up winning the finale. Many folks are afraid of heights and the Challenge loves to have you face your fears. Also take into account how many do not swim well and your partner can.

The commercials are airing promoting the Challenge USA. There has been a Big Brother centric ad with the folks from the Cook Out Alliance just airing this evening. Yes, so f**king arrogant, may they crash and burn.
Those who are new to the Challenge, there have already been Big Brother cast mates on the MTV Challenge flagship show. Kaycee Clark (yes she is as exciting as wallpaper), Faysal Shafaat better known as Messy Fessy, and Joshua "Josh" Martinez is the winner of Big Brother 19 who still yells a lot and gets into fights with any and everybody.
Kaycee, Josh, and Fessy were the Big Brother Alliance on MTV Challenge, and they are boring, and power hungry, and vicious to other Big Brother cast such as Amber Borzotra won went on to win Double Agents. So no they are not a favorite.

I can't stand Josh or Fessy. Kaycee at least wasn't horrible and was good at challenges on BB so I can see her doing well at this! I've seen Tiffany's commercial so far, and it was kinda cute. Something like "wait til you see what I do on this show!" I like her and a few other Alliance members, so it's okay. The Alliance as a whole, didn't bother me as much as some of their personalities (Derek F! Azah! ).

The Alliance as a whole, didn't bother me as much as some of their personalities (Derek F! Azah! ). I never got Fessy going after Amber. It is not a good look for this huge guy who played football in college was trying to get into the NFL constantly going after a female who is a third of his size. For what reason? He is vindictive and a bully. I notice the opponents he has in physical challenges are smaller than he is and he hurts them. Fessy hurt Jordan in pole wrestle and he hurt Nelson in Hall Brawl. Hurting Nelson was way over board. Then he goes after Amber. Fessy is totally responsible for Kaycee getting hurt in the Double Agents final. I so want to see Fessy run a finale with Aneesa. They deserve each other the two biggest I deserve to win a final people in the franchise. OTOH if Fessy never is on my screen again that would make me very happy. Josh all I can say about Josh is that production should simply mute him 90% of the time. I do like the comedic relief he does provide in some daily challenges and in eliminations. Too stupid to live should be tattooed on his forehead. Watching Joss try to throw medicine balls through a board in elimination is side splitting hilarious. I will be curious to see which of the cast has ever watched The Challenge and how did they prepare for the show.

I have been on YouTube a bit looking at podcasts, MTV The Challenge, Us Weekly, and other sites for info about the Challenge. I read the posts. Boy, people are dumb and or lazy. I saw this a lot "What the Challenge is on CBS?", "Where are the OGs, this is all new people?", "when did this happen", "When will this air".
Seriously, folks this is what search engines are for you ask and they answer.
I did like the ones that stated, "CBS has ruined the Challenge", or "MTV has ruined the Challenge", "Why isn't The Challenge on anymore?".
Then the there are the ones that say: "This looks boring, I am not going to watch anymore.".

So excited for this!!! I'm also excited to see the Love Island people and how they do, they have stellar bodies but who knows how they are on puzzles and comps. (Unless it's a sexy-car-wash-kiss-the-person-you-want-to comp)

FYI: There is a new reality TV show on USA called Snake in the Grass starting August 1, 2022
It will be featuring players from Big Brother, Survivor, and Naked and Afraid.
Each week a new group of four players will feature doing an adventure in the jungle and will be competing for $100,000.
I have a thread for the show in the "Other Reality Shows" thread.
