Season chronology |
The Challenge: Battle of the Bloodlines (occasionally promoted as The Challenge: Bloodlines) is the 27th season of MTV's reality game show, The Challenge . Filming occurred in Bodrum, Turkey and Berlin, Germany during June and July 2015, with former cast members from MTV's The Real World , Road Rules , The Challenge, and Are You the One? competing both with and against their relatives (in a concept similar to Survivor: Blood vs. Water ). [1] This season marks the first appearance of a Road Rules alum since season 22.
A launch special episode, "Meet the New Blood," premiered on November 9, 2015 on the MTV app and website. [2] It later aired on the flagship network on November 18, 2015 to 538,000 first-run viewers. [3] The season premiered with a special 90 minutes episode on December 2, 2015 on the network and app, [4] and concluded its run on February 17, 2016, with the Reunion and "The S... They Should've Shown" specials. [5]
Each team participates in numerous challenges (sometimes called "missions"), which are followed by an elimination round — "The Pit", which is alternated between male and female eliminations. The winning team of each challenge earns immunity from entering The Pit, while the last-place finisher is automatically sent to The Pit based on the designated gender. The winning team also earns the right of choosing the team has at least one player of the matching gender to compete in The Pit against the challenge losers. One player of the designated gender will represent their team in the Pit. The player who wins the elimination round returns, along with their partner to the game and has the opportunity to compete for a share of a $350,000 prize, while the losing player is eliminated from the game, along with their Bloodline. [6] [7]
Beginning in Episode 3, a twist to the game occurred when players were forced to compete against their bloodlines. The winning team would be safe from going into the Pit. The losing team has to send one player from the losing team into The Pit, while the winning team sends another player from the losing team into The Pit. If a player loses in The Pit, that player is not only eliminated, but so is their bloodline. [8] Teams reverted to pairs in episode 10, and followed the original format.
In the final challenge, the final three teams competed for their share of $350,000. The winning team each earned $125,000, second place earned $75,000, and third place earned $25,000.

The final challenge is separated into two different stages.
The first stage, which contains four checkpoints, takes place on four stories of an old CIA facility in Berlin, Germany. Prior to each checkpoint, each competitor has to run one lap around the facility, with a heavy bag strapped to their backs — 120 lbs. for the guys, 60 lbs. for the girls. The first checkpoint is "Barrel Roll," in which each player must roll six barrels up a hill, prior to collecting their team tokens. The second checkpoint is "Flip Flop," in which each player must catapult beer steins into a barrel, from a distance. If a player misses the barrel with their beer steins, they must drink a glass of non-alcoholic beer. For the third checkpoint — "Block Head," players must complete a puzzle using oversize 3D blocks, with each block placed flush against the puzzle board. The final checkpoint of Stage 1 is "Don't Get Tired," in which players must use two tires to form bridge from one end of a course to another. If one player makes any contact with the ground, both teammates must restart the checkpoint. [18]
The second stage begins with "Job Detail" — each player is required to wear business suits, and must carry briefcases required to complete the final challenge. Each team is required to eat a variety of bizarre German foods, and will be assessed a five-minute penalty for each plate that they do not finish within a one-hour time limit. In the next stage, "Train Delay," each player must hold a briefcase and stay in a designated circle within Berlin Innsbrucker Platz station. A time penalty is assessed if a briefcase touches the ground, and if the player holding the briefcase needs sleep on a bench, they must trade places with their teammate. Host T. J. Lavin then revealed to each team that there was no train, with no time penalties assessed. Later, in "Row Hard," each player has to paddle 10 miles down the Spree River, until they reach the Olympiastadion, where puzzle stations await each player at a "Coded Entrance." Each player must use puzzle pieces from their briefcases to solve their puzzles prior to entering the Olympiastadion, then run eight laps inside. The first-place team wins $250,000, second-place wins $75,000 and third-place wins $25,000. [19]
