Warzone

**Warzone** is the sixth season of *The Challenge*.

## Description

*The Challenge: Warzone* brings 27 contestants, veterans and rookies, to compete in a roller coaster of twists and turns to determine the next generation of Challenge Champions. For the first time in Challenge History, this seasons format will revolve around the ability to compete. While the format may be initially perceived as an disadvantage for great social players, how will they ensure they compete the best in order to run the final? With the money on the line and honor to defend, anything is possible.

## Format

For *Warzone* the players are individual. The main elements of the game are as follows.

* **Daily Missions:** Each round the players compete in the daily challenge. The two winning players gains the power to decide who will be going into the Warzone, as well as safety.
* **Bottom Four:** Following the daily challenge, the 4 players with the least progress in the daily challenge will be named as the "Bottom 4"
* **Eliminations (The Warzone):** At "The Warzone", the two winners each vote for one player to save from the Warzone. The two nominees not selected to be saved then must face each other in the Warzone. The loser is eliminated from the game while the winner stays in the game.

At the end of the game, those who remained competed individually in the Final Challenge. A Purge was held during the Final Challenge, leaving only 4 players from each team to compete for the Grand Prize. The two winners equally split the $1,000,000 grand prize ($500,000 for each).

### Twists

* **Double Elimination:** Episode 8 featured a Double Elimination Round in which two players were eliminated. There would be a bottom four as supposed to two, and each winner would save two players, then pick the match-ups for the remaining players.
* **Call Outs:** Episodes 9 & 11/12 featured the "call outs" where instead of the two players who were not saved going against each other, they would call out anyone of their choice - this excludes the winners of the daily challenge.

## Gameplay

### Challenge games

* **Bootcamp:** Players must complete 4 separate stations of this challenge the fastest. Each stage also has a 20-minute time limit, therefore if a player were to time out, they'd be eliminated. The two players with the least amount of time win.
