The Challenge: Double Agents

Double Agents is the first season of The Challenge. This season follows various reality alumni competing in a espionage-themed pairs game for a share of a million dollars. The season was filmed in Reykjavík, Iceland from March to April 2021.

Description
The Challenge: Double Agents starts the series to a partners game, but the contestants can't trust anyone on this spy thriller-inspired showdown.

Format
Each team will compete in various challenges followed by elimination rounds known as "The Crater" which are played by gender. The winners, known as the "Double Agents", will be safe from elimination. The rest of the house will secretly vote in one team into the Crater in the voting Chamber. The Double Agents will be able to see who gets voted in, and who voted for them. In the Crater, the winners will then choose their opponents or volunteer for the elimination themselves. The elimination will be played as individuals, and the gender that will be playing will be announced after both teams are selected. The winner will earn a Gold Skull which qualifies them for the Final. They will also have the choice to either remain with their partner, choose a Rogue Agent (those left without a partner), or choose another's player's teammate.

In the Final Mission, four teams will compete. The prize money splits as follows:


 * Winners: $900,000 ($450,000 each)
 * Runners-up: $100,000 ($50,000 each)
 * Third and fourth: $0

Twists

 * Team Selection: The Opening Challenge will have players compete as individuals. The overall winner had first pick on their partner. The other players were left to freely choose a partner of the opposite sex.
 * Skulls: Players who win an elimination will earn a Skull which is the sole qualifier for the Final Challenge. This season, there are only 10 skulls available. After all of the skulls for each gender are acquired, players without a skull are forced to steal Skulls from the current holders.
 * Rogue Agents: Players who are left without a partner are known as Rogue Agents. Rogue Agents will not be able to compete in the challenge, but they will be able to vote.
 * Infiltration: The winner of the elimination will have the choice to remain with their partner, pair up with the Rogue Agent, or steal another partner.
 * Security Breach: Throughout the season, various "security breaches" will be implemented into the game.
 * Skull Safety: Due to there being a low amount of players with skulls, anyone who didn't have a skull was forced to go into elimination to try and get their skull.
