Originally a spin-off from historic, game-changing reality shows The Real World and Road Rules, The Challenge has evolved into one of the most popular and long-running competition shows of all time. Its rabid fan base follows the game's twists and turns every season thanks to its ever-changing format and a variety of players with reputations garnered from their experience in the spotlight from around the globe. Hosted by Brihony Dawson, The Challenge: Australia brings together an Australian-based cast for the first time to compete in high-stakes challenges and eliminations, and survive the game's tricky politics, in hopes of making it to the game's Final Challenge and competing for a large cash prize and the title of Challenge Champion.
