Dirty 30

## Series Chronology

***Dirty 30*** is the fifth season of *Ian's The Challenge Official Series*. The season started filming on August 22nd, 2021 and ended on September 14th, 2021.

## Description

*The Challenge: Dirty 30*, This season we're bringing back the dirtiest and most unpredictable players. This devious bunch will stop at nothing to win the game and compete against each other. Players will have to fight their way through some of the craziest, most daring challenges yet. With this devious assortment of players, the backstabbing and masterminding will be just as intense off the field as on the field. Trust. No. One.

## Format

Each player will participate in multiple challenges followed by an elimination round known as "The Presidio". Each challenge will be played in teams, pairs, or as individuals. The winners of the challenge will deliberate among themselves and nominate someone for elimination. The losers of the challenge will remain eligible for elimination and participate in "The Double Cross". The player to pull the Double Cross will be responsible for nominating another one of the losing players for the Presidio. The players will then compete in the elimination round. The winner(s) stay in the game while the loser(s) are eliminated.

### Twists

* **Groups**: For the first four rounds of the game, players were divided into groups by the two opening challenge winners; one player from both groups would be eliminated each round. They were featured in later rounds where the previous presidio winner would decide the groups for the round. In Part 2 of the Final Challenge, there was a final Double Cross to determine the groups for the rest of the finale.

* **The Double Cross**: The losing player to pull the Double Cross is responsible for selecting another player for the Presidio.
