The Challenge: War of the Worlds

War of the Worlds is the 33rd season of The Challenge. This season features Challenge veterans competing with and against various reality titans from around the world for a share of $1 million. The season was filmed October to December 2018.

Description[]

The Challenge is back, and this time it's all-out war. On The Challenge: War of the Worlds, America's best will be taking on competitors from around the globe. Legendary Challenge Veterans will team up with Rookies from The Bachelor, Big Brother and other reality shows to compete for $1 million in the most grueling, physical and mental challenges ever devised. Who will survive?

Format[]

Each team will compete in numerous challenges followed by elimination rounds known as "The Killing Floor". The top three finishers of each challenge will form "The Tribunal", where they will nominate three teams to possibly compete in the Killing Floor. They will discuss with each nominee and then vote individually in the Killing Floor. The team that is voted in then must call out any team of their liking that is not safe. The winners of the elimination will stay in the game and hold the Relic, which grants them safety from the next elimination. The losers are eliminated from the game.

After eight eliminations, the game will become completely individual. The overall top three competitors will form the Tribunal and nominate three players of the same gender for the Killing Floor.

Prize money splits as follows:

Champion: $750,000
Runner-up: $200,000
Third Place: $50,000

Twists[]

Impending Dune and Team Draft: The first challenge will eliminate two Prospects from the game. The order in which they finish will be the order of how pairs are selected. The Prospects will then choose their Veteran partner.
Tribunal: The top three finishers of each challenge will hold the power and vote in one team to go into the Killing Floor.
The Relic: The winners of the Killing Floor will hold the Relic in which they will be immune from the next elimination. The twist will end after the first eight eliminations.
Every Man for Himself: After eight challenges competing in pairs, the teams will disperse and the game will become completely individual.
- One Winner: Similar to Vendettas, only one player no matter the gender will win this season.
