Reality stars party, fight and hook up in exotic locales while competing in insane physical challenges and scheming to win cash prizes on the competition show that started it all.
The Challengers arrive to the Arena to see classic, brutal eliminations from each era awaiting them. 16 people will fight in the sand, only 8 will return. The losers learn they will be sent off with a parting gift of karma for the remaining players.
The eras must now work together to keep their team safe. A gross feast is prepared, and TJ's new twist puts two members of each era at risk of elimination. The winners make things difficult for themselves as they struggle to agree on a decision.
Targets change the game as competitors must learn how to play without knowing if they'll be safe come the next elim. TJ's favorite challenge returns in the form of a Challenge history lesson! A questionable sudden death round seeds internal doubt.
An exhausting challenge leaves an era questioning one of their own, while another era can't get on the same page. A long-standing rivalry between two teammates comes to a head and erupts. Champions collide in an epic, nail-biting elimination.
A challenger must decide between righting their past wrongs or creating a new divide. Another player tries to protect a "friend" in their relationship, but only creates a problem for themself. An entire era grasps at anything to turn the game around.
