The Challenge: Apocalypse

Apocalypse is the first season of The Challenge. This season follows various reality alumni competing in a apocalyptic individual and pairs game for a share of a million dollars. The season was filmed in Reykjavik, Iceland from August to November 2020.

Description
Thirty players including stars from Survivor will join fan favorites as The Challenge introduces the series to a mixed themed game, but with a share of $1,000,000 on the line, the contestants still can't trust anyone on this apocalyptic inspired showdown.

Format
Each challenge will be played in either teams, pairs, or individuals, followed by elimination rounds known as "Death Row". Elimination days will alternate between male and female rounds. The winners of the challenge will form a Council, who will be safe from elimination. The worst-performing player(s) of the challenge will be sent straight to Death Row. The Council is responsible for nominating three players to face the last place player in Death Row, named "The Inquisition". The Inquisition is responsible for pleading their case to stay in the competition, and the Council will vote for the player to compete against the last place player at Death Row. The players will then compete in the elimination round. The winners stay in the game, while the losers are eliminated.
