How The Challenge USA Is Different Than The MTV Version
The Challenge has been an MTV staple for many decades, and a new version will be hitting CBS in just two weeks. The Challenge USA will pit contestants from CBS shows Survivor, Big Brother, The Amazing Race, and Love Island as they compete for their share of $500,000.

The new teams are created based on something called «The Algorithm,» where the players are randomly paired up. They will never have the same partner, until no more new pairs can be made.
