After 39 successful seasons of The Challenge, anticipation for season 40 was it to be a milestone for the series, promising fresh twists, new surprises, and high-stake drama. However, as each episode unfolded, the fans were left divided. While many have been loving the challenges thrown at the contestants and the dynamics they share, many are left underwhelmed.
The season began this year in August with 40 reality TC personalities, formerly featured in the series itself. As the show progressed, contenders faced daily challenges, and difficult elimination rounds, and only eight survived for the grand finale. The winner of this season will be declared on MTV in the first week of January.
While many reality TV enthusiasts are talking about the upcoming finale, a few have expressed their disappointment with this season on Reddit.
The Challenge 40 fans expressed their disappointment with how the season unfolded
With the finale ready to air as the new year kicks in, fans couldn't hold themselves and expressed how they found this season of The Challenge.
"This season has turned into a snooze fest. I'm ready for it to end," wrote a fan on Reddit.
"This has been a horrible season the build up was crazy but didn’t live up to the hype"
"Most boring season and cast ever 😂💯🤘," read another comment on Reddit.
A netizen even admitted that he stopped watching the season in between,
"I stopped watching this season a few episodes in because it was just soo boring. I'm not sure where they went wrong cause this season should have been explosive and gritty and exciting...but you're exactly right - every episode feels the exact same. So dull."
A few fans think the season was stretched for too long.
A reality TV enthusiast wrote,
"I fell behind on episodes about 5 weeks ago and decided this past weekend I was going to catch up and watch the final. I was surprised to see that the final hasn’t even happened yet, and the last like 4 episodes are boring af. This season seems ridiculously long."
A Reddit user highlighted how he thinks this season lacks the drama the series promises,
"It’s way too “friendly” of a season. Too much volunteering and looking out for friends rather than backstabbing and shadiness."
"The challenge themes have been very boring for quite some time. Bring back themes like rivals," another fan wrote.
His Christmas wish might have been heard too early as the producers have announced the release of The Challenge All Stars: Rivals.
