Format

The main elements of the game are as follows.

The cast is composed of those who have been dirty in their gameplay or living on prior seasons or shows.

• Daily Missions: Each round, the players compete in a challenge. The challenges will vary between individual and team challenges. The winners are immune from elimination and nominate one player of each gender for the Elimination Round. The losers players are eligible for the Double Cross. In some challenges, not everyone is eligible for the Double Cross but is still vulnerable to be nominated by the winning team.
• Nominations: The winners from the Main Match openly vote to nominate one other player of each gender for the Elimination Round.
• Elimination Rounds (Presidio): At the "Presidio", the "Double Cross" Draw is held. All losing players from the Daily Mission participate in a Random-Draw. The player who draws the Double Cross is safe from elimination and must nominate a fellow losing player of their Gender into the Presidio.The winners remain in the game, while the losers are eliminated.

In the end, only six players - 3 male and 3 female - compete in the final challenge. Unbeknownst to each contestant, they will compete for a share of $1,000,000 — the largest monetary prize in Challenge history. The winner of each gender winning $450,000, the runners-up winning $35,000 and third place taking home $15,000.

Twists

• Purge Challenges: Some challenges are designated as Purges - sudden death challenges where the losers are immediately eliminated.
  • In the opening challenge "The Purge", the players competed in several rounds to guarantee their safety, with 3 players of each gender being eliminated.
  • The "X Marks the Spot" and "Snaking Your Way Back In" challenges composed the second purge of the game. This purge would narrow down the 10 players, to the final 6 that would face the Final Challenge.
• Vote-Offs: At some points in the game, the winners of the Daily Mission also win the power to vote-off one of the losers.
  • In "The Purge", the winners of the final part of the challenge has to vote-off 3 out of the 4 remaining losing players of their gender.
  • In "Blackout", the winning team has to vote one male and one female out of the game.
  • In "Backstabber", the individual winners vote one male and one female out of the game.
• Redemption House: Similar to Ex-ile from Battle of the Exes II, the "Redemption House" gives eliminated players a chance to re-enter the game. Periodically, the players in Redemption House participate in a Redemption Game, with the winners returning to the game, while the losers are officially eliminated.

Episodes

Reunion special

The two-part reunion special/finale aired on November 14 and 21, 2017, and was hosted by WWE pro wrestler, alum, and former Challenge champion Mike "The Miz" Mizanin. Host T. J. Lavin and each cast member, for the exceptions of Camila and LaToya, attended at the Capitale in New York. A The Final Dirt special showing behind-the-scenes at the reunion and the reunion's after-party aired on November 28, 2017.

Controversy

After winning the daily challenge on episode 8, cast member Camila Nakagawa overheard Leroy Garrett mentioning a woman to other contestants. Nakagawa angrily assumed he was referring to her; she confronted Garrett and started verbally attacking him, using racial slurs. After the episode aired, Nakagawa posted an apology on her social media.^{[9] [10]} The incident was later discussed on an MTV special that followed called Race in America: An MTV Discussion hosted by Nessa.^[11]

In November 2021, after he stopped appearing in the competition series, Garrett spoke about the incident on his social media. Garrett criticised MTV for their handling of the situation, expressing to the network that "[...] someone should have stepped in [...] And the fact that no one did, I felt like MTV, you dropped the ball".^[12] The network and the show's production company released a statement in which they apologized to Garrett for not taking action and allowing Nakagawa to remain in the competition after her racist outburst.^[13]
