Originally a spin-off from historic, game-changing reality shows The Real World and Road Rules, The Challenge has grown into one of the most popular and long-running competition shows of all time. Thanks to its ever-changing format and variety of players with influential followings, the show has earned a rabid fan base that follows the game’s inevitable twists and turns.
And now, in 2022, we have The Challenge Australia, hosted by the charismatic sports commentator Brihony Dawson.
The Challenge Australia will see 22 of Australia’s biggest names across the entertainment, sports and reality worlds descend on Buenos Aires, Argentina, and into the most unpredictable and demanding game of their lives.
Challengers will be randomly paired to clash head-to-head in extreme physical contests, test strategies, and survive eliminations and cut-throat alliances to win challenges and eliminate their opponents. And if that wasn’t enough, they’ll also have steamy hook-ups, messy exes and fractured friendships to navigate. We’re living for the inevitable drama!
With a whopping $200,000 cash prize and a ticket entry into the first ever The Challenge: Global Championship, only one female and one male competitor will have the perfect combination of physical, mental, and social skills to reign supreme.
One of the challengers on The Challenge Australia 2022, is the winner of the first season of Love Island Australia, Grant Crapp.
Electrician, business owner — and yes, the winner of Love Island Australia’s first season — Grant Crapp, returns to the small screen for The Challenge Australia. His main motivations? To prove to himself that he can do it, and to set up his family financially.
“I’d like to build my forever home for my family and I,” he says in a press statement. “We’re currently a family of three, soon to be four!”
He’s a little worried that he won’t be able to adapt to the unpredictable nature of The Challenge set-up, but hopes that he’ll be able to learn fast and get past his flustered nature.
“My biggest weakness is probably my problem-solving skills on the run,” he says. “I get very flustered easily.”
Will Grant be able to push through his weakness and build his dream home?
The Challenge Australia airs at 7.30pm on Network Ten on Mondays and Tuesdays. Catch up on 10 Play.
