This is the true story...of how cast members from The Real World and Road Rules came together to compete for cash and prizes on The Challenge and ended up taking a small 90s cable show to heights no one could have conceived.

Twenty seasons in, the evolution of The Challenge had only just begun as it transformed into a reality competition soap-opera that thrives on cinematic themes, intense games, and a wealth of cast history.

Underdogs are the true heroes of The Challenge, achieving against all odds and climbing personal mountains, all while overcoming an extremely competitive environment.

What makes a legend? Wins? Physical dominance? Mental toughness? Cool under pressure? In a game as intense and complex as The Challenge, the only answer is all of the above.

Seeing if love can survive in a cutthroat game; couples found love over the seasons, and though some were short-lived, went wrong or never aired, a few have stood the test of time and flourish.

Jaw-dropping moments are what makes "The Challenge" so unpredictable; as the series has evolved, its greatest surprises have only become more life-changing.
