A sneak peek of the final shows the brutal road ahead
The Challenge: USA Season 2 winners and losers endure difficult mental and physical challenges throughout the finale. A sneak peek of the finale posted to Reddit shows host T.J. Lavin explaining what the finale holds for the remaining competitors.
“To become a Challenge champion, you need to show that you excel in multiple disciplines,” Lavin says. He then explains that the competitors will battle in categories of strength, smarts, skill, and a “steel stomach.” Day one of the final involves four trials that “test” the contestants’ skill levels in each of the four categories. The competitors who win in each trial receive a one-minute time advantage on the next part of the final. Contestants who are in last place for each trial receive a one-minute penalty.
So, what’s in store for day two of the final? Lavin explains that the competitors have to race for 10 miles.
“Now, just like this whole season, we love risks,” Lavin says to the concerned finalists. “So, if you’re feeling confident in any of the trials, you can take a risk and double down, which means, if you say, ‘I’m gonna win this one,’ and you do, you get a two-minute time advantage.” However, if a confident contestant loses, they receive a two-minute time penalty.
