The Challenge!!!!

Okay, so in a previous post I said I was on the line about blogging about shows and I still am BUT I can not NOT blog about The Challenge. The show makes me too excited.

If you don't know what The Challenge is your life is lie and you should start watching. This series is a reality series where teams compete for a money prize. Each season there is a different theme and contestants are usually people from previous MTV shows like Cutthroat, Fresh Meat, The Real World etc.

Season 23 comprises of contestants from previous Real World seasons. The Battle of the Seasons takes place in Turkey (The place for the final challenge is Namibia) and the cash prize is $250,000 for 1st place, $50,000 for 2nd place and $40,00 for third place. Usually teams have consisted of two members in the past but this season teams have four members. There have also been a couple changes like how contestants are eliminated and what kind of power the team of the week has.

Let me just say again....this is me telling you to check out the challenge. 23 seasons and I've only started watching from Season 21 and I'm hooked. I might actually check out earlier seasons when I have the time. So read this and watch!

Battle Of The Seasons

Channel: MTV 

Time: Wednesdays 10:00 pm

Episode 1: Don't Cross Me

I don't want to give any spoilers for the first episode because I know a lot of people probably haven't seen it as yet but I'll just say, as usual it was a great season premiere; there were hook ups, nakedness and a whole bunch of hot ass drama.

Also, at first I thought Battle of the Seasons meant previous contestants from The Challenge which would have been people from Rivals versus people from The Gauntlet II or something  similar but this season is battle of the Real World seasons which is just as exciting.

Below I'll list the teams (which will include one spoiler, sorry ☹) but that's about it. I'll provide a link as well if people are interested, that will show the eliminated team and what's not from this episode.
