What to Expect (Spoiler: It's Not Like Today's Challenge!)

Now that you've (hopefully) found the season, prepare yourself. The early seasons are… different.

Think less sophisticated challenges, more questionable fashion choices (hello, 90s!), and a generally lower budget feel. It's like comparing a home-cooked meal to a fancy restaurant.

But that's part of the charm! You'll see the seeds of what The Challenge would become. You'll see the rivalries start, the friendships form, and the drama unfold in its purest, most unadulterated form.
