We have to keep trying to outdo ourselves and re-engage the audience. We have something really exciting up our sleeves that we’ve been working on with MTV. I feel like there’s something to look forward to.”

“The Challenge” was developed for MTV by Bunim/Murray Productions, a part of Banijay Americas.
