The Challenge: Battle For a New Champion entered its final phase as Chaos ended, and Conquest began eliminating more competitors before the final.
The Chaos phase featured the arrival of the ten former Challenge champions to The Arena, including Cara Maria Sorbello, Laurel Stucky, Jordan Wiseley, and Chris “Ct” Tamburello.
Several champs ousted Season 39 cast members from the game, while others were defeated.
When host Tj Lavin revealed Conquest, he indicated it would be an individual game now and that whoever came in last place in the daily challenge would be sent home via a purge.
The winner also received safety from elimination, starting a chain reaction of votes that ultimately determined who would fight to stay in the game.
When all was said and done, two competitors got sent home from Season 39 with no more chance at winning that hefty grand prize.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Challenge: USA series premiere.] Reality titans from four of CBS’ hits — The Amazing Race, Big Brother, Love Island, and Survivor — are facing off on The Challenge: USA this summer, and one of those shows is down two after the premiere. Survivor‘s Tyson and Big Brother‘s Angela won the daily challenge and so were able to choose the competition for the losing team, Big Brother‘s Azah and Kyland, in the elimination. While it seemed like The Amazing Race‘s James and Love Island‘s Shannon would be going in, he worked the system and was able to save them. Instead, Love Island‘s Cely Vazquez and Javonny Vega were sent in, and they lost. Vazquez and Vega open up about their time on The Challenge: USA, what they would’ve done differently, and more. Coming into this, what did you each expect? How did you prepare? Vazquez:...

CBS reality shows have been known to starve contestants, deprive them of their privacy and drop them into a heart-pounding race around the world. But now, it’s time for a new challenge.

From the moment the 28 players arrive, we hear about the drama from their past shows, player advantages, cast disadvantages (only three from The Amazing Race), wins already under their belts (Tyson on Survivor), and who’s a fan of The Challenge.

When The Challenge: USA was first ordered, there was an element of ambiguity about it.
Would it follow in the footsteps of the MTV series, or would it forge its own path?
After watching The Challenge: USA Season 1 Episode 1, the format is very much the same, but it's clear some contestants have no idea what they signed up for.
The good news off the bat is that the casting is perfect. Every single person on the show was a great personality on their respective original series, and there are some powerhouses thrown in for good measure.
Finding the right cast for a series like this is crucial because viewers need personalities they can connect with, and there are many great people on this show from The Amazing Race, Big Brother, Love Island, and Survivor.
