The Challenge is a reality game show on MTV that is spun off from the network's two reality shows, Real World and the now cancelled Road Rules. It features alumni from these two shows, in addition to first-time cast members called 'Fresh Meat' and alumni from Are You the One?, competing against one another for a cash prize. The Challenge is currently hosted by T. J. Lavin.
Formats Rivals: Two-player teams of the same gender consist of players who are paired against their "worst enemies," whom they have engaged in bitter feuds, fights and rivalries with in previous Real World and/or Challenge seasons.
Battle of the Exes: Teams of ex-couples compete.
Cutthroat: Teams are not initially set. There is a race in the beginning, and while the top three players are announced, the bottom three are named as captains of the three teams; the three teams are then drafted by the captains (while maintaining equal numbers of players of each gender).
Battle of the Seasons: Each team consists of two men and two women from select seasons.
Free Agents: Players compete as individuals but may be placed in teams throughout the competition.
Fresh Meat: These seasons introduce new people to Challenges without appearing on The Real World, Road Rules or Are You The One?.
The Duel: Promoted as "every man for himself" as there are no permanent teams (though some individual challenges require teams to be formed). All players compete individually, leading to just one champion of each gender.

Rivals, Episode 5
Female elimination episode

The team with the lowest time differential of paddling upstream and subsequent paddling in the reverse direction to the finish line wins.

The teams then have to swim toward a red buoy, which indicates the finish line.
