## Description

The sun sets on All Stars 2 and rises on a new era of The Fandom Challenge! TFC: The Quest brings together old, new, and newer faces come together to fight for a spot on All Stars 3. Ben O'Brien, Shayne Perry, Spencer Michael, and Parzi Valentine join SQ Lavin in hosting the ultimate battle of teamwork, dominance, and surprises. No one is safe.

### Format

Each pair starts with 1 pyramid piece and will compete in the daily challenge. The winners of the daily will have a choice: take safety from elimination, or earn another pyramid piece, which will be very important in the final. Whichever choice the first place team picks, the 2nd place team will get the opposite. Whichever pair has safety from elimination will then pick TWO pairs to go into the elimination. In the Jungle, the two pairs will battle for their spot in the game. The winning team will stay, while the losing team will be eliminated and must give their pyramid piece(s) to any pair still in the game.

### Features and Twists

* **Purge:** The Purge returned in round 1 of this season, allowing players to pick their own partners. Partners could be stolen and pairs would continue to be formed and broken until 2 players were left with no partners. Those players would then be purged from the game.
* **Limbo:** The doors to the Redemption House known as Limbo reopened this season. This season, 2 eliminated pairs at a time would battle it out in Limbo. The winners would stay in the game; the losers would be eliminated for good. This continued until the penultimate round, where the last 2 Limbo pairs fought for a spot in the Final.
* **Pyramid Pieces:** Competitors would have the chance to win safety from elimination or Pyramid Pieces after every daily. The Pyramid Pieces were gambled in the Final, and the pair with the most Pyramid Pieces at the end of the Final would reign supreme.

## Cast
