The Global Challenge: Risky Business

**The Global Challenge: Risky Business** is the fifteenth season played of The Global Challenge Series. The season premiered November 18th 2022 and concluded December 17, 2022!

32 players were left down on Scranton, Pennsylvania. They will be competing for their share of the prize money pool of $1,000,000 and the title of Challenge Champion.

### Format

The cast will initially be divided into departments (teams). Each department will then do their daily tasks for the day (daily challenge), and the department that did the best work will become the Departments Heads. From there, they will vote one other worker who they think is slacking off to enter the performance evaluation (elimination). At the same time, the lowest placing team becomes the Slackers, where they enter a Department Deliberation to draw pens. The holder of the Golden Pen will write up one of their own team members sending them into the performance evaluation as well. The winner of the evaluation may choose to stay with their department or choose a new path in life and swap places with any player on any team!

Prize money splits as follows

* **First Place:** $800,000 to split
* **Second Place:** $200,000 to split

### Twists

* **Companies:** Similar to the houses twist from Raising The Bar, the challengers were divided into 2 groups of 16 each having one person from their company being eliminated per episode.

* **Career Change:** The winners of elimination in each episode can either choose to stay on their team or switch places with someone on another team, from either company, taking their place on that team.

* **Budget Cuts:** In episode 3 & 6, each company faced a double elimination. This meant that 2 people who draw the golden pen & each send in 1 person to face off against the CEO's vote in a 1v1v1 elimination.

* **Company Merger:** From episode 7 onwards the 2 companies were dissolved and 4 new departments were formed with the 16 remaining players

* **Downsizing:** In episode 9 the challengers were told that there was no elimination and that the 2 worst performers in the challenge would be instantly eliminated. In addition the top two performers in the challenge could switch career's if they wished so. The twist returned in episode 12 however the top 2 in the challenge got to do a snake draft for the teams in the final.
