Heads up that the new season of The Challenge has started - "Vets and New Threats." I did wonder if I should post in the Challenge thread instead of here, but there's a cross-pollination with the Survivor thread as well. Both Dee (Survivor 45 winner) and Sydney (Survivor 41 also-ran) are on there as "new threats" (rookies) and are being set up as villains on the show. The first episode was a challenge to determine pairings - there was a hike up a mountain and down, and the finish determined order of people choosing their partners, as this season will involve two-person teams of one rookie and one veteran, opposite genders.
Dee looks to be part of a power couple as 7-time champion Johnny Bananas chose her. He's also very much a target so it could be a disadvantage for her. Sydney chose Leroy as her partner - well-liked and strong but has never won in a squillion tries.
Survivor-wise, Season 33's Michaela is also on here, but she's a Challenge veteran now is it's her third appearance. She's great in challenges but doesn't seem ever to have formed any good alliances, so I don't see her doing well. Would love to be wrong.
I don't think Survivor fans like
@Pip's Invitation or
@Corporation watch this, but I tag them anyway. I think
@Runkle could be in, though!
