TT The Challenge: Fresh Meat

## Series Chronology

***Fresh Meat*** is the seventh season of the ***Turney Time The Challenge*** series. Filming took place in British Columbia, Canada with former cast members from *The Real World* series, *Road Rules* series, and the previous *Challenge*. This season is based on the *MTV The Challenge Series* format *Fresh Meat.* The season debuted on October 16th, 2019, but was canceled on November 11, 2019 due to excessive cheating.

## Production

Fresh Meat was revealed as the seventh season of The Challenge during the finale of *TT The Challenge: Vendettas* on September 24th, 2019. Applications opened on September 25, 2019, closing three weeks later on October 15, 2019. The full cast of 28 was announced on that day, one day before the season premiered on October 16, 2019.

## Format

Prior to the season, each of the 14 newcomers (referred to as "Fresh Meat") participates in a series of challenges to test their skills. Each alumnus selects one of the rookies of the opposite sex to be their partner for the entire season, using the stats from the pre-season challenges.

Each episode, teams participate in a challenge. (Challenges are sometimes called "missions.") The winner of the challenge has immunity from going into Exile and selects one team to go into Exile. They also get the chance to pick the order in the next challenge. The remaining teams get together to vote for the other Exile team; the winning team and their pick for the Exile are not present during the process. Each individual gets a vote, and voting is not secret. The team with the most votes is picked to go into Exile.

Exile is a race between two teams. Unlike the elimination games of other seasons of The Challenge, the remaining teams do not watch the battle between the two Exile teams. The Exile teams run a course and whoever crosses the finish line first stays, while the other team goes home. Along the way, there are stations where competitors will have to complete an activity before moving on.

A car picks them up and they are taken, blindfolded, to the racecourse. Once the car stops, they must jump out and go on with the race. Both team members must cross the finish line.

Money for finalists is split as follows:

* Champions: $250,000 (split evenly among team)
* Runner-Up: $60,000 (split evenly among team)
* Third Place: $40,000 (split evenly among team)
* Fourth Place: $0

## Twists/Changes

* **Golden Medallion of Friendship:** Upon elimination, the eliminated team is asked to choose one team still in the game to give the Golden Medallion to, thus keeping the safe from the next round.
* **Five Twists from Hell:** In addition to choosing a team to save from elimination with the Golden Medallion, the eliminated team is also asked to pick an enevelope numbered 1 through 5, in each envelope is a twist that impacts how the following round would play out.
	+ **Enevelope 1:** When activated, teams have to agree with their partner on the vote or they will automatically be sent into the Exile.
	+ **Enevelope 2:** When activated, only the bottom two teams in the daily challenge are eligible to be sent voted into the Exile by the house. In the event that the winning team sends in one of the two in the bottom two, then the next lowest place team becomes eligible.
	+ **Enevelope 3:** When activited, the team that comes in second place during the daily challenge is allowed to choose 3 players to have their votes voided.
	+ **Enevelope 4:** When activiated, teams are paired with another team, thus forming a superteam. The superteam whow does the best in the daily challenge is safe, but one the best performing pair in that superteam is declared the official winner and allowed to pick a team to go to Exile. Once the winning team has sent a team into Exile, the other team in that superteam becomes safe from the vote.
	+ **Enevelope 5:** When activitated, teams are given votes based on how well they placed in the daily challenge, the better the placement, the more votes a team is given.
* **Vote Revealer:** As an extra prize for winning Exile, the winning team could choose two players to have their votes revealed to them.
