Game Changer: Champs vs. Stars Is Back With A Brand-New Twist

Legendary Challenge competitors have faced off against both pros and stars -- with the champs possessing 2-0 record (Cara Maria and Darrell and also Johnny Bananas, CT and Emily took the gold medals, respectively). Nevertheless once The Challenge: Champs vs. Stars returns on April 17 with host (and new dad!) Mike "The Miz" Mizanin, the opposing sides will need to work together in sort to secure a W.


For the opening time ever, teams will be mixed with both celebrities and MTV players. Weekly eliminations will take place up until one team will prove they are the ultimate “Challenge MVP,” although because the initial look below shows, the gang is kinda (un)happy with each other. You know, Vendettas finalist Tony angrily declaring, "Losing sucks!" And also Hennessy screaming, "Don't f**king get crazy with me" at Devin (with a cutaway to Brooke Hogan's mouth wide open).


The game format: every week, the two teams will compete in a challenge that will test their physical and mental strength. The winning team from each challenge will nominate their most valuable player (MVP), who will receive cash for their charity, be safe from elimination and pick their team’s least valuable player (LVP) to go into elimination. The losing team will also nominate their own LVP to go into elimination, and the two LVPs will compete to keep their spot in the MTV clash. What's at stake? A share of the $150,000 money prize to donate to their beloved charities.
