Host T. J. Lavin & Sonia Kruger initially did not reveal any twists to the gameplay, however, beginning in Episode 4, a twist to the game occurred when players were forced to compete against their generations partner. A Red and Blue Team were formed, chosen by Gabi and Zack respectively, and were picked by alternating between the Old School and New School players so that the initial pairings were divided. From then on, the two teams would compete against each other so that the winning team of a challenge was safe from elimination and could nominate one player from the losing team for "The Pit." The losing team is also required to nominate one of their players for "The Pit." Whichever player wins the elimination round returns to the game while the other is sent home along with their partner from the opposing team.

In Episode 12, the pairs were brought back together and competed as duos for the remainder of the season.

Simon's often seen either hanging out with Theodore and sometimes Alvin or working on a new science experiment. His eyesight may not be as bad as Jeanette's because he still looks directly at the person he is speaking to and rarely bumps into things without his glasses, both of which Jeanette does. However he is sometimes a little clumsy, glasses on or not. He also has an affinity for Thomas Edison.

Simon, unlike his brother Alvin, loves school! He is an A+ students who gets good grades in every subject. He even tutors his friends and especially Alvin. If it weren't for Simon, Alvin would be failing all his courses. Simon also loves to read. When he isn't tutoring someone, Simon is reading a book or at the library looking for a new book to read.

As has become the norm for every A-Tv Challenge, expect to see the Challengers plot, scheme and stab one another in the back as they put everything on the line to win!

The rules of "The Duel" are simple: win at all costs and send your opponent packing. The winner stays and continues to fight for the money. The loser goes home empty handed ... end of story.

Staying out of The Duel depends on how well players do in the weekly challenges. After each grueling challenge the male winner and the female winner will be safe. These two must then agree on one person to save from The Duel. That person, in turn, will chose someone of the opposite sex to save, and so on down the line. The last man and woman standing are automatically sentenced to The Duel. But they're not out of the game yet, because each will get to choose a same-sex Duel opponent and battle it out until only one is left standing.

In order to ensure survival, players will form alliances and pair up, keeping their friends close and their enemies closer.

These seasoned vets have a lot of experiences and have seen how the show has evolved since their start on the show. However, not every name in this group have been on many challenges since the early days, will these vets be able to adapt to the new game?

The 'New School': The fresh faces of both Gen 2 & Gen 3 are here to carve their name in the Challenge's legacy. These challengers have the most current knowledge on how the game is being played currently and this is the only type of game they've played. With political power changing every era, stronger competition & social connections are more important than ever, these players have already experienced the most intense & difficult version of the challenge. Will the class of Gen 2 & Gen 3 be able to prove they're superior in this new era?

## Cast

### Draft

New School partners were chosen by the group for each Old School member.

## Format

In classic *Generations* form, Old School & New School will have both compete together and against each other to advance in the game. This time however, we're combining elements from both the **1st** & **2nd** Generations seasons. Players will form M/F pairs and compete in the first half of the season together. While competing together, these pairs can only count on their partner from a different gen to help them to the second stage.

In first stage of the game, the winning duo for each challenge will be able to send any team against the last place team. These two pairs will face off in the *Dunes*. However, the eliminations will be played individually. Meaning two players from the same Gen can walk away with a win. Winning an elimination not old keeps you in the game, it will also keep you safe until the second stage. *Dune* winners will be given their original team jersey back, where they will then wait for the rest of their teams to be formed.

In Episode 9 with the team rosters completed, the second stage starts. The player of each team that does the best will win the challenge and become the 'MVP'. They will have the sole choice to select for their team a M/F to compete in the *Dunes* against the other team's selection.

The Ruins III

**The Ruins III** is the 69th season of Atv's ***The Challenge***. and the 3rd installment of the Ruins series, following The Ruins & The Ruins II

## Description

Twenty-eight competitors have been tapped to compete in an exciting new Real World/Road Rules Challenge. We're pitting grizzled and greedy former winners, henceforth known as "Champions," to do battle against a team of equally greedy newcomers and past Challenge losers we've dubbed "Challengers." They will meet in exotic Thailand to see who can face the rigors of The Ruins.

Although players will compete at teams, they will also bank winnings into individual bank accounts as they compete in nine intense challenges and a thrilling finale. There is $300,000 up for grabs and, as always, the players will do whatever it takes to get their cut of the Challenge prize.

Not everyone will last until the end to earn a share of the wealth. After each weekly challenge, one man and one woman from each team will compete in "The Ruins" -- a head-to-head battle between two competitors, where one man and one woman will be eliminated. The winner of "The Ruins" not only stays in the game, but pockets the loser's bank account, making them richer -- as well as a bigger target in the eyes of the other players. The loser? Well, the loser goes home flat broke.

Avoiding "The Ruins" depends on how well teams do in the challenges. Before each challenge, each team will nominate six people -- three men and three women from their ranks -- to be eligible for "The Ruins." After every challenge, the winning team will split $20,000 evenly. Then, the winning team's lucky six nominees will be "the match-makers" who will select which man and woman from each team will be sentenced to "The Ruins." The selected men will have their "Ruins" competition and so will the women. The losers will be sent packing.

As with any Challenge, the competitor who plays their cards right and forms the best alliances will find they have the power. Those who do not may just find themselves in "The Ruins." However, in Thailand, going into the elimination round is a risk that could pay off, as the winner ends up acquiring their opponent's bank account.

Only the players that make it to the end will walk away with the cash they've banked and compete in the finale. Plus, the winners of the finale will earn an additional grand prize!

Ultimately, friendships will be put to the test, hearts will be broken and battles will rage -- both on and off the playing field -- as players do whatever it takes to be crowned the winners of The Ruins!

The "Power Couple" also earns the right of choosing the team that will face the last-place finisher in The Dome. The team who wins the elimination round returns to the game and has a shot at a $350,000 prize, while the losing team is eliminated from the game.

Money for finalists is split as follows:

The Island

**The Island** is the 8th season of A-Tv's ***The Challenge***. and the 1st installment of the The Island series. Spawning 2 sequels *The Island II*, *The Island III*.

## Description

Somewhere off the coast of Panama, 20 former Real Worlders and Road Rulers are dropped into shark-infested waters. After swimming for safety, they come upon The Island. Here, veterans and rookies alike will compete for a share of a $300,000 buried treasure during the latest season of The Real World/Road Rules Challenge.

But this time around, say goodbye to weekly challenges because survival is the only challenge. Gone are the days when a comfy bed and a fully stocked bar greeted the contestants after a difficult day. On The Island, competitors will have to find their own food and shelter. Staying in the game won't be half as hard as staying alive in the harsh jungle wilderness.

And, for the first time ever, there are no predetermined teams going into this Real World/Road Rules Challenge. That means it's up to the contestants to forge their own alliances -- or not. Who will be left out? Who will opt to be a loner? Which alliances will be torn apart by treachery? Only time will tell...

Of course, the social aspect is only one facet of this complex competition. During their time on The Island, contestants must construct two boats that they will eventually use to reach a nearby island. On the other island, $300,000 in gold awaits the first four people to lay claim to it. How will they build these boats? Materials will be air-dropped in every few days, but it's up to the contestants to assemble the pieces and make sure their vessels are seaworthy.

Once the boats are complete, only eight key-holders will be allowed to board. In order to get a key, contestants must risk it all in a three-way face-off. Yup, each week three contestants do battle, and one leaves -- leaves for the other island, that is. After each face-off, the winner receives a key, and one of the losers is voted off The Island. Naturally, the rules can change at any time and no key-holder is ever completely safe.

While friendships and alliances are extremely important in such a cutthroat game, romance just might trump them both. When old flames are reunited and new relationships emerge, anything can happen. Some contestants might let their hearts lead them right out of the game while others might try to charm their way to victory. But no matter what happens, drama is inevitable.

Anything goes in this 20-person melee, but only four will emerge victorious. It's a race for buried treasure unlike any other, where staying alive is just as important as staying ahead of the game. Drama, heartbreak and treachery are all guaranteed, so just one question remains: who will conquer The Island?
