The Daily Telegraph reports the series, sees competitors come together to face gruelling physical and mental challenges for their share of $200,000 in prize money has already begun filming in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Likened to a cross between Big Brother and Survivor, it sees reality stars living under the one roof.
Dawson becomes the first non-binary host of a reality show on 10.
“Visibility is so important because it’s hard to be what you can’t see,” they said.
“I really struggled not having anyone like me on TV or in movies or anywhere in the public eye when I was growing up.
“So, if I can be that for someone else and help them feel not so alone or like there’s something wrong with them, then I’ll be really happy.
“Although, being a role model scares me a little as I am far from being perfect, it’s my goal to just be my authentic self and be a voice for those who have not fully found theirs yet.”
The winner is also set to feature in international season with the working title The Challenge: Global Championship for Paramount+.

In watching the American version of The Challenge, I need them to perfect their evil laugh for the Trivia challenges
To anyone unfamiliar why … you will hopefully find out why when the Aus Challenge airs
A cross between Big Brother and Survivor? I assume they mean original Big Brother, because from all reports it sounds like the re-formatted Big Brother Channel 7 do is Big Brother meets survivor.
I agree, shows need new hosting faces also or it feels like same same same
Really looking forward to this show! It’s going to be quite unique! I think it’s more of a cross between Survivor, Big Brother and Ninja Warrior! I’ve also read some of the rumored cast and can I just say that we will be in for some drama!!!
Finally some new talent on screen.
This is the issue with FTA, it’s the same people on screen in presenting roles, dramas etc. they need fresh talent and I’m so glad 10 have chosen them.
