We've got it recording and will probably wait for it to build up before we watch. And we still have a couple episodes of All Stars 3 to finish.

Did you was AS3?

I'm actually on the 2nd to last episode of AS2! I will definitely watch AS3 and probably let Challenge USA stack up a few available episodes before I start binging.

Was surprised not to see a thread on this last week. The wife and I watched it. Enjoyed the challenges but probably too much drama for us.

There's always a ton of drama at the very beginning because there's so many people and new names, faces, attempting to make alliances right away, etc. Usually to me the first couple of episodes are almost background TV and I don't pay much attention. It gets better after a few people get cut.

Haven't started Challenge USA yet, but have it recording and will start in the next week or two. My wife and I just finished All Stars 3 and enjoyed it. It did seem like there was a ton of new history from All Stars 1 & 2 that we missed. Did they film the All Star seasons back to back to back? It kind of seemed that way. We are now going back to watch All Stars 1 & 2. It's funny to see how old the AS 1 cast is compared to AS 3. It really was OGs for AS 1, now its just the regular cast for the most part of AS 3.

I'm watching All Stars S1 and I have to say that I did *not* see the romance coming. Figured AS would be a hookup/romance free show.

Anyone still watching this? It's an okay substitute for the regular Challenge, but more boring. I'm starting to dislike Sarah, who I really liked from Survivor, though.

Any idea on when the MTV Challenge or Challenge OGs comes back?

I'm watching but this is my first foray into the Challenge in like 20 years or so - when it was the Real World/Road Rules people.

It's pretty cool. Feels like its more of a legit competition than reality show, although the last episode had some great backstabbing and strategy. The comps they do are nuts and you have to be a legit athlete to do them.

The only show I watch with participants is Big Brother, and damn if Angela isn't still a stone cold savage. She gives me such a fear boner.

The Challenge on MTV has turned into competition show over the last 10-15 years. The daily challenges and eliminations are pretty much exactly what they're doing on the MTV Challenge. The MTV version has more partying and interpersonal drama for sure, but they've gone to 90 min episodes so you get the same challenge content as CBS is showing.

That final sucked. Probably the worst put together final challenge that I can remember. Unfair rules, unclear rules, production unprepared for the weather. Totally a mess all around. I personally hate doing the final in stages and wish they would go back to it being each competitor on their own rather than being paired up with a different teammate each stage.

Yeah the final was a **** show. They let Sarah timeout on the honey comb puzzle but wouldn't let anyone time out on the soduko. Apparently they also wouldn't tell them the rules of Soduko even though multiple players had never done one before. Riggamordus!

I thought final was ok. I was tired of Tyson.

Pretty crazy you only had two people finish. And one was so far behind she thought everyone was gone by the time she reached the finish.

Curious to see what The Challenge global competition or whatever they've been touting looks like. Danny the ex pro football player and only male to finish could be some competition. Imagine him in a hall brawl.

The final was insane. I hate that Desi had to go home because of Enzo. Props to Danny and Sarah.

Anybody watching The Challenge World Championship? I won't post any spoilers, but after an initial challenge there's a draft: Each Champion (winners or finalists from the past season of Challenge Argentina, Australia, UK, and USA) selects a Legend (Challenge veteran) to pair with. There's definitely some fun new characters and great pairings to follow along with.

Bump! Anyone else watching? I watched Australia and UK, forgot about Argentina...then started watching World. Thoughts? I like it so far.

The finale aired this week. There were a few episodes in a row towards the end that were boring, but overall it was a good season
