The Challenge: Who here wathces it??

[Anonymous]

I'm obsessed.

I binged season 35 this weekend, which is the last season available on Paramount. I am going to binge some of the other popular seasons.

The Challenge reminds me of a mix of Big Brother, American Gladiators, Amazing Race, and Fear Factor.

Fantastic show!

No but I did just start watching Amazing Race. Just finished the most recent season (34) where Penn and Kim won. Now I'm obsessed. Am working my way backwards through the seasons - now on season 33.

I do watch Love Island, actually I dip in and out of it. I know some of the contestants on the Challenge are from LI and also Amazing race. Maybe I'll give it try!

What’s funny, PP, is that I was going to add a disclaimer that I’ve never actually watched TAR. 🤣🤣

I do feel like I’ve seen enough promotions for it to know what it’s like, though.

But, yes, you should definitely give The Challenge a try. I started watching it to see only one scene I’d heard about. Then I was like, “Shit, I like this show!” Then I binged the rest of the season. 😁😁

I haven’t watched the last 3 seasons of The Challenge but watched pretty much all the prior seasons. Is Johnny Bananas still on or did he finally quit?

Bananas is still in the game. Dude, watch season 35! For real.

I think I’m going to binge season 34 this upcoming weekend even though I know who wins.

Me!! DH and I watched many of them in real time when we were dating and now my teenage DS watches them with me on Paramount Plus. I have a preference for the early seasons and wish they were all available (….anyone know where to find them?). I stopped watching around the time Johnny Bananas took over the show so it’s rough watching the later seasons. I LOVE the All Star seasons and praying there’s a season 4.

We watch them. I'm trying to get into the new Challenge USA on CBS but I don't know or care about any of the competitors (Big Brother, Survivor, Love Island, and Amazing Race alums). It's making it hard to stay invested, even though some of the game-play developments (dollar amount to run the final, randomizer assigning partners) are actually improvements.

I am watching the Challenge USA. I have never seen any of the other seasons but have watched most of the reality shows that are currently represented. I am rooting for Justine! Was also sad to see DX go.

They’re on Paramount Plus!

Mind you, I’m no expert, and I didn’t realize this was international like Big Brother, etc….but, The Challenge (USA, I suppose) has seasons 1-35.

Guys, I loved season 35 so much. Tell me which earlier seasons will I enjoy most, please? I will watch whichever ones you recommend. 😁😁

Oh! well shoot! I spoiled the most recent season of TAR for you- sorry! I thought that I was the last person on earth to watch it, and so of course assumed naming the winners wasn't a spoiler.

Oh, no worries! I’m not planning on watching TAR. I have 34 seasons of The Challenge to get through. Hahaha

See, I was looking for the season with DX! I didn’t realize that The Challenge I binged is different from The Challenge USA.

Is the USA version good like the season I watched??

Thanks pp, but I meant the really old seasons (I think paramount starts with season 10 or 11). I’ve heard of people finding the old ones on random sites, anyone have a suggestion?

I’m binging The Challenge USA Today.

I didn’t realize it’s a different series, and I’m glad the host is the same. I really like TJ.

The USA version looks almost as good as the original (?) show.

I’m already spoiled on DX, but I’m looking forward to seeing how it plays out.
