The Challenge: Total Madness

The Challenge: Total Madness

The Challenge: Total Madness is the thirty-fifth season of the popular reality competition show, The Challenge. The show premiered on April 1, 2020 on MTV and follows a group of contestants as they compete in various physical and mental challenges for a chance to win a grand prize of $1 million.

This season, the format has completely changed, and the stakes have been raised higher than ever before. The contestants are no longer competing in teams or pairs, but rather as individuals, making it a true battle of every man and women for themselves. This brings a whole new level of intensity and cut-throat gameplay.

The Challenge: Total Madness also features a brand new twist called the “Red Skull” twist. In every challenge, the winner is given the choice to either keep their earned prize money or trade it for a red skull. This red skull is crucial as it guarantees a spot in the final challenge. The catch, however, is that the contestant must make it to the final challenge in order to actually keep their red skull. This adds an extra layer of strategy and risk for the players, as they must choose between short-term gain or long-term security.

The show’s host, TJ Lavin, has stated that this season’s challenges will be the toughest yet, both physically and mentally. The contestants will have to face their fears and push themselves to their limits in order to survive and advance in the game.

Among the cast are some familiar faces, including Johnny “Bananas” Devenanzio, Wes Bergmann, Jordan Wiseley, and CT Tamburello, who are all competing for their chance to add another win to their impressive Challenge resume. There are also some new faces joining the competition, including Dee Nguyen, Jenny West, and Jay Starrett, who are all looking to make a name for themselves on the show.

The theme of “Total Madness” reflects not only the new format and twist of the season, but also the chaotic and unpredictable nature of the game. As the competition progresses, alliances will be formed, and friendships will be shattered as the contestants battle it out for the grand prize.

In the first episode, we saw an intense elimination round between veteran competitors Jay Starrett and Asaf Goren, where Jay shocked everyone by pulling off an upset win and sending Asaf home. This just proves that in this game, anything can happen.

As always, The Challenge: Total Madness is not just about the physical challenges, but also the drama and relationships between the contestants. With the individual format, we can expect to see even more backstabbing, betrayal, and alliances forming and falling apart.

The author of the original concept of The Challenge, Jonathan Murray, has promised that this season will be one of the most intense and thrilling yet. With a new format, twist, and cast, The Challenge: Total Madness is definitely not one to miss for any fan of the show. Tune in every Wednesday on MTV to see who will rise to the challenge and ultimately be crowned the winner of Total Madness.
