The Challenge: EUA

I have never seen the original "Challenge" but I was drawn to the "Challenge: USA" spin-off mainly because of the participation of several "Survivor" players. The show seems to be a chaotic blend of social, strategic, and physical elements from other game / reality shows such as "Survivor" (duh), "Big Brother", and "Fear Factor". To be honest, strategically it doesn't measure up to "Survivor" and the challenges, although enjoyable, are not as outrageous as those of "Fear Factor", but the show is fun anyway, and because soooooo many factors go into lasting long and ultimately winning, from skills to social play to pre-game bonds to just pure luck, it is very unpredictable. There are also some clever editing tricks. Beware that it does spoil many previous "Challenge" seasons, though, so if you want to get into that show from the beginning, this is not a good starting point by any means; if you are more of a "Survivor" fan looking to expand your horizons, it is. 7/10.

I love the challenge in all its shapes and forms and I think this series is a fun way to bring together people from different reality shows! The challenges are fun to watch and fun to imagine yourself doing, and the cast members are entertaining and likeable! (For the most part) I don't know who a lot of the bb and survivor people are but I think that makes it fun to watch and see all these people interact. TJ is the best host and always keeps it real with us and the contestants, he is a great example of a good guy with good values. I also love all the puzzles on the show, really makes me want to be on it one day!

I have so many subscriptions and they keep switching first DIrectTv then on Paramount then on Netflix make up ur mind and tell me where to watch em all. So tired of chasing rabbits.

I've watched BB, TAR and Survivor since their inception and I have watched them crash the last couple of seasons due to Wokeness. I have also watched The Challenge for the last 30 seasons and have loved how nobody cares about anything but playing the game. Thank you TJ for saving the CBS reality shows. Would have loved to have seen Bananas and Aneesa and the rest of the Challenge family but that would not have been fair to these newbies. Can you just imagine what Wes would do to these people! Best CBS reality show since Big Brother season 2.

And I am here for it! As a long time survivor, and challenge fan I'm excited for what devilish ideas TJ has up his sleeve. Going to be some great, low stress, and fun content to watch this summer.
