==Trivia==
* This is the first season of The Challenge to feature a team split - this time in the form of Vets vs Rookies.
* Out of all 26 contestants, 13 of them were on Big Brother.
===Controversies===
* In episode 4, the "Royal Dessert" challenge was met with controversy when Billie Eilish, who is vegan, was forced to eat animal products. Production responded to this by informing the public that Billie was given a vegan substitute, which lead some fans to accuse them of giving her an unfair advantage.
* There were worries about contestant Tiffany, due to her pregnancy, however it was revealed that the season was filmed before she became pregnant.
