I stan The Challenge more than Big Brother and/or Survivor. This show has the drama/extraness of Jersey Shore style reality TV, the house feel of Big Brother, and the challenges of Survivor. And with people like my queen Da'vonne, Big T (even though she didn't make it that far), Faith, Hunter, Turbo, and so many other people...When will your shows ever? The contestants may come from other shows most of the time, but that only makes it even more entertaining.
Yes the challenge is amazing! Most of the challenge fanbase started watching it recently when they first added the big brother players, etc! but I've been watching this show ever since the very beginning, 2000ish, and it's ALWAYS been my favorite reality show! They have had some bad seasons mixed in, but overall, I love it!
The Challenge is how I eventually discovered Big Brother and Survivor. I was hooked on The Real World after season Hawaii and then started watching Road Rules. My first Challenge was Challenge 2000 and haven't missed an episode of one since then.

Yeah I have to admit I'm a rookie XD I only started watching on Da'vonne's first season. But I've been loving it. I wish I could watch past seasons, but I can't find them anywhere.
Jaybirdnifty - They're hard to find...MTV's website has 15 old seasons (http://www.mtv.com/the-challenge-archive ). There are some old one's on Youtube, but they're hard to find. I believe Amazon Prime Video or one of those services has them for purchase
like when does it air
