The Global Challenge: Sunset Showdown

**The Global Challenge: Sunset Showdown** is the twentieth season played of The Global Challenge Series. The season premiered November 10th, 2023 and concluded December 22nd, 2023!

### Format

In the wild, wild west, you can only bank on yourself. Every challenge will be played as individual outlaws this season, and only one will come out on top. In each episode, outlaws will compete in challenges as individuals known as "Shootouts." The outlaw(s) who do the best in the shootout will become the "Most Wanted." The "Most Wanted" will be safe from elimination and earn power. They will also split 25k to be added to their bounty. Once the "Most Wanted" are decided, they will vote for one individual to be sent directly into elimination, also known as the "Showdown." In addition, they will also vote for one individual to be the "Selector." The "Selector" will be safe from the "Showdown" and will begin the "Selection". The "Selection" is a chain of safety where the "Selector" will first pick one person to be safe; they will then pick another person safe who will pick another player until only one player remains. The player not selected to be safe will also head to the showdown. Both individuals nominated for the "Showdown" will compete against each other in a challenge to stay in the game. The winner will win the "Showdown" and remain in the game, while the loser will be gunned down and eliminated. Eventually, when a certain number of outlaws remain, they will compete against each other in one final ride. The outlaw who does the best will become the champion of The Global Challenge: Sunset Showdown!
