As a longtime, die hard fan of “The Challenge” I could not be happier to see that the show is fully committing to their transition away from “reality house party with ways to get eliminated” and embracing their new identity as an actual athletic competition.
The ‘Champs vs. Pros’ mini-series is by far the biggest step that the show has taken in terms of legitimizing it as a place where actual physical feats of excellence occur. Sure, some of us have been referring to Laurel and CT as two of America’s greatest athletes for years – but others need more convincing.
