Happy to see the focus on the challenges. Some of the showmances were annoying and distracting from the show and other relationships that were centered around the competition, The screaming at each other and petty jealousy seemed so planned. Bringing people back for multiple seasons is fine, but it seems to add to the make believe arguments. The competition component brings out rivalries, but they seem more genuine than past seasons. Having competitors from other shows definitely adds to the fun and watching them interact with each other is fun for those of us who watch the other programs. (Survivor, Big Brother, etc). Keep it up, CBS!

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'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.

Take a shot everytime Danny says Kiki. You'll be drunk in no time. As a long time fan of the challenge I overall enjoyed it but prefer the regular cast. I don't watch any of the shows these people are from so was my least favorite challenge. With that being said I did find myself rooting for certain characters and definitely seeing certain ones as Villians. I don't know why I have to say more than that but I'm typing because I'm required to type so much to submit my review. Overall a good show but definitely my least favorite challenge. Haven't watched the other countries yet. I did enjoy all stars.

I tuned in because I love Survivor. I will not be tuning in again. Tyson - and maybe Danny - are the only contestants saving this show from becoming unwatchable. Big Brother and Love Island are notorious for casting people that are vapid and fickle. The lowbrow drama they bring to the episodes seems forced, and the quality of the shows is rather cheap and amateurish overall.

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.

Season one was sort of clear cut and enjoyable to watch, but the finale and it's rules were horrendous. How can one person get to "time out" of a challenge puzzle and then get to move on after 30 minutes, but another person on a different puzzle must solve their puzzle? And to throw a random puzzle that most people don't know how to play into an ATHLETIC challenge was just rigged.

Season 2 is very confusing. I watched about 30 minutes of drama and chat and about 7 minutes of actual "Challenge" type action. The rest was commercials. For some reason just because you were on Big Brother, now makes you a Challenge type athlete. It's hard to watch.

I am so sick of watching these so called legends screw up every Challenge show. Geeeeeeze Louise, let someone else have a shot at it. I mean really - get over yourselves. It's ridiculous to watch season after season with the same tiring group of whiners trying to control the newbies. The fact that some of these "legends" have won multiple times and we have to listen to them rattle on and on and on about how they need the money ..... wahhh, wahhhhh, wahhhhhh. Give someone else an opportunity to win. Someone who might be better at managing their winnings. I hope if there is a next season, these whining legends won't be on it.

Can a show be more boring. The first episode I did not care who won or how. Seemed all they cared about was socializing. Unbelievably stupid show. And the host is supposed to be a genius? He is a genius at somehow keeping this awful show on TV. Watched because I love Survivor. Take some lessons from that show, please. Will not be watching another episode.

To start with. This show could easily be half the time every episode actually is. So much waffle and pointless amped up drama, that actually isn't dramatic just a bunch of attention seeking insecure immature awful people.

Yes the shows trying to be a cross between big brother, survivor etc. However it's basically all the things that make those shows awful put in to one truly awful show.

Embarrassing crying one minute, screaming how strong they are the next, then whining about how unfair things are after that.

Could have been a show about how awesome humans can be. Showing what they can achieve. Instead it's a show about the worst humans.
