‘The Challenge: Vets & New Threats’ features ‘nail-biting elimination’ in season 41 premiere

The long-running reality competition series The Challenge returns with season 41, The Challenge: Vets & New Threats, on MTV Wednesday, July 30 at 8/7c.

Cord cutters eager to keep up with this can’t-miss season full of fan-favorites can stream the premiere live through Philo (free trial), Fubo (free trial), DirecTV (free trial) and Sling (50% off first month).

What is The Challenge?

MTV’s The Challenge is a popular, long-running reality series where contestants are offered a life-changing amount of money but must work with their biggest enemy to get it. The enemies they’ll be working alongside have backstabbed, tormented, defeated or humiliated them in the past.

What to know about Vets & New Threats

Much like previous seasons, season 41 will see this season’s contestants participate in some of the toughest mental and physical challenges.

Though the season is set to premiere July 30, fans were given a sneak peek into what’s to come from Vets & New Threats when a “launch episode” released last week. During the special episode, both veterans and newcomers alike competed in a challenge to see the order in which each competitor enters the house and picks their partner.

Those interested in checking out the special launch episode can view it here.

The season premiere episode will follow the newly formed pairs as they must put their newfound partnership to the test immediately. The season 41 opener also follows a rivalry that emerges to cause chaos and uncertainty. The budding rivalry leads to drama-filled nominations, and an elimination that sends shockwaves.
