***The Island***, is the sixth season of *The Challenge*. This season was filmed in Cagayan, Phillipines from January to February 2014. It premiered on April 2nd, 2014 - July 18th, 2014, and concluded with the "The Reunion Show" on June 25th, 2014.

## Description

This season, Competitors are headed to the beautiful Phillipines to compete in a bold new The Island, where players will discover an exciting new game, filled with twists and surprises. For the first time ever, there will be three teams, chosen by the players themselves. These three teams will battle each other in nine extreme challenges, leading up to a massive and grueling finale. With over $500,000 in cash and prizes up for grabs, the Challengers will need to stay true to the name of the game and get cutthroat to secure their share of the prize!

With twenty-four players competing, not everyone will make it to the end to vie for the riches. After each challenge, one man and one woman from each losing team will be sent into the "Jungle," a one-on-one battle arena that will test players' mental and physical capacities. Only the strong will survive and proudly return to the game to compete. The weak will leave with nothing. Staying out of the hellish "Jungle" means achieving victory in the challenges. After each challenge, the winning team will be safe from "The Jungle" and bank $20,000 to be shared amongst their final players. These lucky winners will have the pleasure of dining on an elegant feast, while the two losing teams will each be forced to send two players from their own ranks into "The Jungle." And in one of the biggest shockers of the game, players will enter a shadowy tribal council to cast a secret vote. Lies will be told and hearts will be broken, as these Challengers realize the powerful impact of a secret vote. Once the dust clears and the votes have been cast, the man and woman on each team with the most votes against them will be sentenced to "The Jungle." But these embattled players aren't out of the game just yet. Everyone in their "Jungle" competition. The winners will come right back to the very team that just voted against them and the losers will be sent straight home.
