Season 10: The Inferno II, and Season 21: Rivals have been made available to stream on Hulu in the US. Not sure if they are available in other countries on the platform.
Season 1 of The Challenge: Sweden will premiere on August 12, in Sweden. It features 17 alumni of the Swedish editions of The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, The Farm, and Robinson. The dailies and eliminations shown in the trailer seem to be all or mostly returning competitions. It will be 19 episodes long and was filmed in Greece last month.
I am not sure how affiliated this is with The Challenge brand or Bunim/Murray Productions, as "MTV" is not present on the logo despite being on the Argentinian, Australian, and English versions of the show.
The trailer can be found here: (3) Weida 🤍 on X: "Here is the trailer #TheChallengeSweden https://t.co/n6AGxlnpCQ" / X (twitter.com)
Former Real World: Miami alum Sarah Becker was found dead early last week by suicide at age 52. She was described by many since her TV appearance as a positive light in people's lives. Please keep her family and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers.

Season 39, Battle for a New Champion, was added to Paramount+ in the US this past Wednesday. Not sure of its availability in other countries.
Ayanna Mackins was diagnosed with breast cancer in October 2023. We all know and love her for her determination, grit, and strong will, but she and her family are going through an incredibly difficult time. Fellow Challenger Rachel Robinson set up a GoFundMe in her name to help alleviate their expenses during this time. Many of us are going through our own financial hardships, but if anybody is unable to donate, but are able to share Ayanna's story with others, then every little bit helps. Please show support to this legendary member of our Challenge family.

Hey everyone, while we've always had player stats on each contestant's page, for the first time I have condensed them all onto one page for easy access. Due to the format of the tabs, it is easier to view on desktop, or at least in desktop mode, but they are split between the major series: The Challenge (flagship), Champs vs. Stars, All Stars, Global (USA, UK, ARG, AU, WC), and Overall stats with every series included.

What else?
Are you part of the AAPI community and would you like to participating in general, then please react on the blog with an answer to one of these two questions:
In the last few years, there has been an exponential rise of hate towards the AAPI community, which gave rise to the #StopAsianHate movement. How has this movement impacted you and what actions can we take as a society to fight anti-Asian discrimination and violence?
What does visibility mean to you?
We would love to quote you, so we may amplify your voice!
As always, it would be fantastic to have you join us! Should you have your own project within this community, let me know so I may promote it a little more, or if you want to create you own quiz about an AAPI person of this show, contact me as well, so we can make it happen!
According to an article by PEOPLE, The Challenge will be launching a workout series on their YouTube. Challenge vets will be teaching 30 minute classes. Rachel Robinson, Mark Long, Tori Deal, Corey Lay, Devyn Simone, Nelson Thomas, and Nicole Zanatta are set to teach courses. It will start in April.
Hey everyone! February certainly was eventful here at Fandom with the celebration of the accomplishments of Black and Afro-American people, the commemoration of which was concluded with an in-depth panel discussion on Black Voices & Content in Genre IP (read more about that here). As your Wiki Representative, I want to make sure you continue to be aware with what lives on Fandom, so buckle up for some more exciting news announcements!
For this year's Woman's History Month, Fandom tends to do its part to "break the bias" and spotlight creators, franchises, and women behind-the-scenes at Fandom and editors who forge a path that support women's equality. Read all about the exiting things we have lined up for it here!
With UCP, Fandom upgraded from MediaWiki 1.19 to 1.33, which was a massive jump. However, to prevent that from ever happening again and keeping the community impact as low as possible, Fandom is committed to staying up-to-date, which is why we're starting the update to MediaWiki 1.37 in the course of March. The first batch of test wikis is scheduled to be migrated by the end of the month, with the top 5,000 big wikis to follow in April, and the rest during Spring. Prior to the migration, a banner will appear across the site informing the community of the upcoming change along with a link to a help page explaining what changes to expect. These will be mostly backend changes, but read all about it here!
In line with the research that concluded that audiences are more likely to engage with dynamic, interactive content like a quiz than static content, Fandom wants to help wikis capitalize on that by offering engaging quizzes to our readers! At this moment, these will only appear on top communities on selected pages for logged-out users. For now, quizzes can only be created by Fandom staff, Wiki Representatives, and Wiki Specialists, as we want to ensure that the product works to engage people without expecting the community to do the necessary work for us. If you are interested to know if your community has any quizzes and on which pages, don't hesitate to aks me. Likewise, if you find there to be something wrong with a quiz in terms of accuracy, let me know which quiz and on which page, so I can make the necessary adjustments. In general, this is still largely a test to see if they'll engage people as much as we hope they will, so we want to hear from you. After you took a quiz, please share your thoughts with me. I'm especially interested in hearing your idea on future updates we can make to the feature! If you wish to read more about the research and idea behind the quizzes, read all about it here!
This was a lot to take in, so if I lost you somewhere along the lines, don't hesitate to reach out, and I'll be happy to explain and get you back on track. As usual, I love to hear back from you as a reaction on this post or any other means you have to contact me!
Hey all, as we reach the last day of Black History Month, Fandom gears up to close out its celebrations with a last event: a panel discussion - Black Voices & Content in Genre IP - to celebrate Black culture and representation in entertainment! This will be an open, in-depth discussion spotlighting the journeys of Black creators and innovators in TV, comic books, stage, and film, and we would like to invite you all to attend and participate!
When? Monday, February 28th at 12PM EST (check your own timezone here)
Where? https://twitch.tv/fandom
Who? Joelle Monique, an iHeartRadio Executive Producer & Entertainment Writer will moderate the panel consisting of:
* Sanford Greene, the Illustrator behind Image Comic’s Bitter Root, which is soon to be a movie helmed by Regina King and Ryan Coogler
* Steve Harper, Co-Executive Producer for Stargirl
* Cameron Johnson, Co-Creator & Executive Producer of Tom Swift.
You can watch the livestream on our Twitch channel, but if you can't make it live, the VOD should be available at 1PM EST after the panel is finished, so you can check that out whenever you get a chance. Hope to see you all there watching and chatting with us!
The Challenge is expanding into international markets and four new series have been announced: The Challenge: CBS, The Challenge U.K., The Challenge: Australia, and The Challenge: Argentina. The Challenge: CBS will exclusively feature contestants from CBS shows. Each show will air on their country's respective channels.
After the four series air, the winners from each series will compete in The Challenge: War of the Worlds in a bracket to determine the first ever Challenge world champion. This series will be exclusive to Paramount+.
I personally hate this direction and feel as though the established vets and U.S. MTV cast are getting shafted from their own show, but I'm curious to hear others thoughts.
Also, The Challenge: All Stars 3 will premiere on May 11.
Hey everyone! As some may know, February is Black History Month in the US, and so Fandom wishes to do its part by encouraging every creator, user, and reader on the platform to think about the powerful legacy Black and African-American creators have had in establishing your favorite fandoms and characters.
In a more elaborate blog about this (which you can read here), Fandom touched upon the history of BHM and is highlighting some recent TV shows, movies, video games, comics, and artists impacted by black creators. We encourage you to explore and delve deeper into the work they have done, and perhaps find a new fandom to enjoy.
To spread their legacy, Fandom will be hosting several roundtable discussions in the Fandom Discord server to discuss series, movies, and games that feature black performers or characters, were created by, or otherwise influenced by Black and African-American people:
Tuesday, Feb 8, 12PM ET / 6PM CET: Roundtable about movies
Tuesday, Feb 15, 12PM ET / 6PM CET: Roundtable about TV shows
Tuesday, Feb 22, 12PM ET / 6PM CET: Roundtable about Video Games
These are open-ended conversations that anyone can participate in, so it would be fantastic if you could join us on the Fandom Discord server and share your enthusiasm and love for these contribution! More Fandom news and plans for BHM will be shared in the Fandom Discord and via our Twitter account, so make sure to join the server and follow @ FandomWikis Twitter account.
This is also be the perfect time to highlight some of the the contributions of Black and African-American creators to this fandom! You could make a blog about them, highlight them on social media, or anything else you can think of.
Feel free to comment on the blog on Central about this, we'd love to hear back from you!
On February 9 The Inferno II and Total Madness will be available to stream on Paramount+!
