What is 'The Challenge: Cutthroat' about?
Season 42 features 24 competitors divided into three teams, combining Challenge legends with first-time players from shows including Big Brother, Survivor, Love Island, The Amazing Race and more. Teams must work together throughout the season, balancing loyalty and strategy while trying to reach the final together and split the $500,000 prize.
