CBS’s & Paramount+ “The Challenge USA” just announced the official date for Season 2!!
Thursday, Aug. 10 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) – MTV’s hit reality global franchise THE CHALLENGE: USA returns to CBS for its second season with two episodes a week for its first three weeks – Thursdays (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) and Sundays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT). Beginning Thursday, Aug. 31, the show will air only on Thursdays (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) through its season finale. Fan favorites from CBS’ reality shows, including SURVIVOR, BIG BROTHER and THE AMAZING RACE, will compete in one of the most unpredictable and demanding games of their lives alongside some of THE CHALLENGE’s biggest reality titans. In its summer 2022 debut on CBS, THE CHALLENGE: USA grew its time period by +27% from the previous year and was the Network’s #2 summer series behind BIG BROTHER. T.J. Lavin serves as host.
Format via PinkRose:
The new format features three teams of eight competitors. The winning team of each daily challenge votes on one male and one female player to send into elimination. But what’s different is the losing team members vote for either one male or one female player from their team to send into elimination. From there, the votes are added to a lottery, and at elimination, one name is selected by long-time host TJ Lavin. The selected player will face off against either the male or female player nominated by the winning team, depending on their gender.

Season 1 Plot:
The all-star group of players who will take on the new challenge includes SURVIVOR winners Tyson Apostol, Ben Driebergen and Sarah Lacina, BIG BROTHER winner Xavier Prather, THE AMAZING RACE winner James Wallington and LOVE ISLAND winner Justine Ndiba. Players have proven they can “outwit, outlast and outplay” their competition and “expect the unexpected,” but now, for the first time in THE CHALLENGE history, they will compete in the most grueling mental and physical competitions they have ever faced.
Upon arrival, the CBS reality titans are given $1,000 to start their individual challenge accounts, and they quickly discover they must battle to keep and increase their handsome reward. In each episode, an algorithm pairs contestants who will face off to earn money for their accounts by winning challenges or eliminating their opponents. This will not be an easy task, as they will be paired with a randomly selected competitor every episode, making alliances and strategies more difficult than ever. Players must adapt to survive the game and protect their challenge accounts. With the $500,000 grand prize and title of Challenge Champion on the line, players will be in a constant state of paranoia, unable to trust anyone but themselves.
Plus, in addition to the prize money, the cast of THE CHALLENGE: USA will be competing for a spot on THE CHALLENGE: GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP (working title) that will stream exclusively on Paramount+, further highlighting Paramount’s strategy of leveraging its popular franchises across the company’s global platforms.
