After months of leaks and speculation, Channel 10 has today confirmed the celebrity lineup for its next big reality franchise hope, The Challenge.
They may have survived the Australian outback and jungle; attempted to find love in a mansion, at first sight, on an island, and in paradise; dealt with the heat in the kitchen; ninja’d their way through obstacle courses; triumphed in the ring, the pool, a camera-filled house, and on social media; but who has what it takes to win 10’s highly anticipated reality juggernaut The Challenge Australia?
With 38 seasons under its belt, The Challenge is one of the world’s most successful television franchises. Now it’s time for Australia’s “most famous” celebrities to compete on The Challenge Australia.
Twenty-two of Australia’s most famous athletes will compete in the most unpredictable and demanding game of their lives.
Hosted by Brihony Dawson and filmed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, The Challenge Australia will see an algorithm randomly pair challengers to compete in gruelling physical contests, test strategies, survive eliminations, cutthroat alliances and steamy hook-ups to win daily challenges and eliminate their opponents.
Among those who have the fortitude to face the fierce competition are:
- Brittany Hockley – Podcaster, Radio Host and Actor
- Jack Vidgen – Australia’s Got Talent Season 5 / I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! Season 7 / Ninja Warrior Season 6 / The Masked Singer Australia Season 3

- Conor Curran – MasterChef Australia Season 13
- Johnny Eastoe – Australian Survivor Season 4
- Audrey Kanongara – Love Island Australia Season 3
- Grant Crapp – Love Island Australia Season 1
The final male and female challengers will be declared Challenge champions by the end of the season, winning $100,000 each in prize money and their entry into the first ever The Challenge: Global Championship, where they will represent Australia in hopes to be the first ever Challenge World Champion.
With old rivalries, new alliances, messy exes, and fractured friendships to navigate, who has what it takes to go down in reality television history, as Australia’s first Challenge Champion?
I’ll be honest, the complete lack of Chinese people is disappointingly consistent between these types of shows.
How so,..are there any Australian people on Chinese reality TV?? The fact is that SE Asia is actually represented. Cyrell Paule is Filipino and there is a spread of other nationalities as well. So that would be a thumbs up!
