Turney vs Suitman: The Gauntlet

## Series Chronology

***The Gauntlet*** is the third season of the ***Turney Time The Challenge*** series. Filming took place in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico with former cast members from *The Real World* series, *Road Rules* series, and the previous *Challenges*. This season is based on the *MTV The Challenge Series* format The Gauntlet. The season debuted on March 14. 2019 and ended on April 1, 2019.

This is also a crossover season with Suitman's group game: Suitman's Flop Nation Series.

## Production

*The Gauntlet* was first announced as the third season of Turney Time The Challenge during the airing of *Battle of the Exes* on February 23, 2019. It was revealed that it would be the second crossover season with host Suitman13 after 2016's *Turney vs. Suitman: Worlds Collide*, and the thirteenth season of *Flop Nation* after *Secret Temple*. Applications opened on March 4, 2019, closing one week later on March 11, 2019. The full cast of 28 was announced on the same day, two days before the season premiered on March 14, 2019.

This season will be produced and hosted by SuitMan13 and turney1805, with production assistance from aiwfwyattroh.

## Format

There will be two teams this season, each team being drafted by one of the two hosts.

Each team participates in numerous challenges (called "missions"), which are followed by an elimination round — "The Gauntlet." The winning team of each challenge earns immunity from entering The Gauntlet.

The winning team also earns the right of choosing one member of the losing team to face The Gauntlet. The losing team will also vote one member of their team to face their opponent. The player who wins the elimination round returns to the game, while the losing team is eliminated from the game for good.

At the end of the season, the remaining members of each team will compete in the final challenge. The first-place team wins $300,000 to be split among all remaining team members.

Money for finalists is split as follows:

* Champions: $300,000 (split evenly among team)
* Runner-Ups: $100,000 (split evenly among team)

## Twists/Changes

* **Turney vs. Suitman:** Rather than teams being decided Road Rules vs Real World or Rookies vs. Veterans, both hosts, Turney and Suitman participated in a snake draft to seperate the players into two teams: Turney's Titans and Suitman's Saviors.
* **Double Elimination:** During Episodes 5 and 10, double eliminations take place instead of the usual single elimination format. The losing and winning teams would each have to vote in two players instead of the usual one player. In the Gauntlet, the two players voted in by the losing team would be partnered against the two players voted in by the winning team.
* **Double Mission Round:** During Episode 15, there were two missions held back to back. After both missions, teams were asked to vote based on the outcome of those missions, making winning and/or losing team selections. The four players voted in then compete in the Gauntlet, but only the top scoring player stays in the game.
* **Two Part Final Mission:** The Final Mission was broken up into two parts. For the first part, players played in a betting game with head to head matches up to win an advantage for Part 2. In Part 2, teams competed in a race where the team to cross the finish line first wins.
