What is the format this season?

The format of The Challenge 40: Battle of the Eras is unlike any other. The season begins with each “era” competing separately. After this, the competition moves into a team phase, followed by an individual phase. Finally, competitors are influenced by “karma points” for the final.

The initial format begins with the bottom two competitors from each era competing against others within their own era, as described above.

For the team phase, the competitors to win the eliminations choose two players to target from each era. After the eras compete in a daily challenge, the targeted players from the winning era become “captains.” The losing era’s targeted players head to elimination. The captains from the winning team choose a pair from one of the two other eras to also compete in the elimination.

Finally, the competition moves into an individual phase. The competitor who comes in last during the daily challenge goes straight into elimination. The winner of the daily challenge chooses between the two competitors who the last elimination winner targeted.

The game utilizes “karma points” this season. The eliminated competitors give karma points to every remaining player in the game. These points vary from one to five. At the end of the game, the final competitors earn advantages based on how many karma points they have.
