War of the Worlds 2 is the 34th season of The Challenge. This season features various reality stars from the United States and the United Kingdom competing against each other for a share of $1 million. It is the sequel to last season's War of the Worlds. The season was filmed in Chiang Mai, Thailand from May to July 2019.

Description[]

The Challenge: War of the Worlds 2 features 32 competitors venturing deep into the jungle to compete in some of the most extreme challenges ever devised in pursuit of the $1 million prize. A strict battle line will be drawn, as a team of 14 Brits is pitted against a team of 14 Americans, with CT, Dee, Ninja Natalie and last season's champion Turbo stuck in the middle.

Format[]

Each team will compete in numerous challenges followed by elimination rounds known as "The Proving Ground", which will alternate between gender. The winning team will nominate a speaker, and the speaker will choose one guy and one girl to form the Tribunal (no player can participate in two consecutive Tribunals). The losing team will deliberate in front of the Tribunal and vote in one player of the designated gender. The Tribunal will then discuss with the selected player on possible opponents from either team. In the Proving Ground, the Tribunal will vote in one player of the designated gender to compete against the selected player. The winner stays in the game, while the loser is eliminated. The winner will be granted the choice to switch teams.

Final Prize:

  • Winners: $1,000,000

Twists[]

  • The Reinforcements: Four Reinforcements (CT, Dee, Ninja, and Turbo) arrived as extra ammo to the teams. The winning team of the Opening Challenge will have first picks on one male and one female to join their team.
  • Tribunal: Returning from War of the Worlds, the Tribunal will be three players selected from the Winning Team. They are the only players who have safety and power. No player can participate in two consecutive Tribunals.
  • Turncoat: The winners of the elimination have the choice to switch teams.
  • Purge Challenge: A Purge took place during the "Puzzling Swim" challenge where the slowest pair was eliminated from the game.
