The Challenge Argentina, The Challenge (Telefe, Mon-Thurs at 9:15pm), hosted by Marley, has 18 celebrity entrants looking to win and the top prize: 15 million pesos.
It is a successful format all over the world. For example, it’s in its 38th season on MTV in the US, where it’s all the rage.
The challenge is only 15 chapters, registered last year, and therefore the four finalists will compete for the The World Challenge, where they will face participants from editions from other countries.
“You can clearly see the social effect caused by the confinement, away from family, social networks and without a phone,” Marley told Clarín, who watched from the outside as he came and went from the recordings. “As happens in Big Brother but with the obligation of physical proof,” he explained.
The dynamics of the new program proposes the game in pairs (which are defined by the lottery) and then, competitions that determine winners and losers.
“Everything is very intense and with a lot of pace. They are leaving the game two to one, at an unusual speed for Argentina, where the cycles are usually stretched depending on how they work” Marley explained.
All participants were required to undergo physical exams before entering the competition. “I didn’t know the format and it was a lot of fun, especially the speed,” he said. And she acknowledged: “Sometimes I thought that a couple like that would win and then it didn’t. I was surprised all the time.”
The 18 famous participants of this edition are a very eclectic group but united by a passion for extreme sports and range from the lawyer Fernando Burlando, to the nutritionist Adrián Cormillot, from the boxer Carolina Duer to the former Uruguayan footballer Rodrigo Mora.
Also participating are chef Rodrigo Cascón; models María Fernanda Callejón, Claudia Albertario, Virginia Elizalde, Florencia Tesouro, Sol Pérez, Eva Bargiela and Sofía “Jujuy” Jiménez; influencers Lizardo Ponce, Lionel Ferro, Oky and Julieta Puente, and actors “Yeyo” De Gregorio and Benjamín Alfonso.
