Synopsis of The Challenge: U.K.
The Challenge UK takes place in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The season is hosted by Mark Wright. The show offers the contestants a chance to compete with each other in different types of challenges and eliminations. All the contestants have only one goal: to win the cash prize.
In the game show, for each challenge, players will face off against a partner of the opposite sex, followed by “The Arena,” which will determine the elimination among the contestants. The couples are chosen by The Algorithm, where each competitor will have a new partner for each challenge. The winners of The Arena will be safe while the others, who finish last will have to go to elimination.
The winners will pick a different team to battle against the losers in the Arena. The two teams will compete in an elimination round, with the winners getting promoted to the next round while the losers are eliminated.
In the end, eight contestants – four men and four women – will be determined as finalists to compete in the Final Challenge.
