"No option to watch"- The Challenge All Stars fans react to the addition of "rivals" in the name

The Challenge All Stars Season 5 made a huge twist in its new season, which is serving as a highlight. The new season premiered on 29 January 2025, on MTV. The veteran host, TJ Lavine invited 26 contentans on the show but had a tweak this time, both for the contestants and the audiences.

The season will be played by the contestants in pairs, and they are paired with none other than their enemies from the previous seasons of The Challenge. Considering the twist in Season 5, the name of the show was changed to The Challenge All Stars: Rivals. However, the name changes have caused the viewers a lot of inconvenience.

The fans of the show gathered on Twitter, now known as X, and expressed their disappointment in being able to download the episodes because their DVR did not recognize the show. The fans encountered this problem and tweeted about how this name change has resulted in chaos.

The fans were angry while some also tried to hothersther to figure out how to download the episodes. A fan on X commented:

"Second week of the DVR not recording the Challenge because it’s “The Challenge All Stars RIVALS” now and not “The Challenge” or “The Challenge All Stars.” LOVE paying for cable and paramount+ and having no option to watch the only show I have them for."

"They changed the title from The Challenge All-Stars to The Challenge All Stars Rivals in between episodes 1 and 2. So DVR's initially set to record the series didn't recognize the new title and didn't record, " commented a person.

Now it’s “Challenge All Stars Rivals.” I had “Challenge All Stars” set and it didn’t record last night," wrote another fan.

"Look for challenge all stars rivals.. they changed the name again," wrote another fan helping others to find the show.

"Can you PLEASE do this next week as well? For some reason @comcast @Xfinity unnecessarily changed the title from The Challenge: All Stars to The Challenge All Stars Rivals, so everyone who set a series recording last week didn’t get it recorded this week because the of name change," commented another fan.

"Why is the challenge all stars rivals not available? why are you not labeling the show?" commented another fan.
