I feel like this one needs its own thread.
Anyone watch the premiere yet?

Planning to! Will miss our MTVers though.
I wish that MTV (or CBS) would resurrect Road Rules so we can get those extremist risk-taker athletes back, as most have aged out by now. Love Island? Nah, at least AYTO had some puzzle solving/strategy mixed with the love matching.

Immediately, I’m thrown off by the Survivor players looking so cute.

I’m only 5 minutes in, but this is feeling like very early seasons of the challenge when no one really knew what they were doing and it was exciting in a way that anything could happen because no one was a legend yet.

I watched for the first time tonight, mostly because it was on CBS and I knew everyone. And I was already watching BB so just kept going, haha.

I chuckled when Enzo shaded Leo for bringing up his cats so much—did he forget he is the Meow Meow??

I watched because a lot of Survivor players are on.
I feel like the love Island folks don’t have the strategic mind set for this. The other 3 shows use a lot of strategy.

Only halfway through so far, but am rooting for team Derek X and Cashay. Both seemed better than how they left their shows.

I’m watching for the first time since the early RW/RR challenge days. While I did not miss the thousands of commercials, I’m happy to be watching it again. I forgot how many people are on the show in the beginning. Love Island is the one show I have never watched (always a BB fan and just recently got back into Survivor and Amazing Race) so I was happy to see that team go today, although Kyland and Azah are definitely my least favorite BB players there.

I watched and I'm looking forward to the season. Sarah (from Survivor) as usual, chomping at the bit! Big fan of the randomizer that's coming for the competitors!! That threw a wrench into Angela and Tyson's plans for domination! It would be awesome on the MTV Challenge version, too. lostinfaith225, I disagree about the Love Island cast, they can be fierce competitors, as seen on the MTV Challenge version. I think they're just - along with everyone else - trying to find their place this early in the house and among the others. I am annoyed that they're competing for a show that's going to be Challenge International ersumshit airing exclusively on Paramount+ - cut that out!

I haven’t watched the mtv version in years. I watched in the early years, but gave up awhile ago. Lol

I’m glad for the randomizer twist too, I was afraid a power duo like Tyson & Angela could really dominate. This’ll be more interesting. I hope Derek X can make it a while

Just started the episode.
Are all these people from CBS shows? I don't know any of these people...

Just started the episode. Are all these people from CBS shows? I don't know any of these people... no, no. They're all previous competitors from Amazing Race, Big Brother, Love Island, Survivor, not just CBS shows, but maybe all under CBS affiliates? Not sure what channel Love Island airs on, so maybe I should hush.

Yeah, Love island has always been on cbs until this year when it’s on PeacockTV I think.

I liked the randomizer twist at the end. It will definitely switch things up and prevent one team from dominating. It could also affect who you vote in each week. I liked the episode. My H and I usually watch the Challenge and he said he may not watch because he doesn't recognize anyone. We haven't watched since they moved exclusively to paramount+ which is annoying.
I'm assuming only 1 episode a week?
I'm also interested to see the most recent BB players and how they interact. There are a few that are butthurt and will take it out in this game.

mrsbliz, it’s just all stars on Paramount+, the regular mtv version of the challenge is still on MTV. The most recent season aired last fall.

watched last night's ep this morning! Tyson is really impressive, they're gonna have to work hard to take him down. I was happy to see him mentor Justine through their partnership, and was oh so happy to see the team that was eliminated be gone. Bye!

I had a feeling Tyson would do well on this show, I wonder if he’ll become a target or if no one will want to go against him. I don’t feel like any of the other Survivors really got any screen time 😆
Cash with her “she’s threatened by us cuz we’re beautiful” thing was an eye roll

I thought something about the way they showed the elimination round was weird and anticlimactic at the end because you couldn’t see how close the teams were. I even went back and watched the whole segment again but still at the end it was just…weird. I don’t know maybe it was just me. 😆 I like the idea of having to make a certain amount of energy on the bike combined with the memorizing but something was off.

I had no idea David from BB was on the show. Is tonight the first we’ve seen him or have I not been paying attention?

I feel like anytime they go through the BB crew in conversations it’s S23 people, Angela, and sometimes Enzo. I don’t even think they had a talking head tonight from him did they? I feel like I kept seeing Justine. But good for David for winning a comp! 😬
