The Challenge XXX: Dirty 30 ^[1] (often promoted as The Challenge XXX) is the thirtieth season of the MTV reality competition series, The Challenge . ^[2] It was filmed in Colombia during May and June 2017, with alumni from The Real World , Road Rules , The Challenge, and Are You the One? competing.

The season concluded with a two-part reunion special/finale on November 14 and 21, 2017 and behind-the-scenes special of the reunion and the reunion after-party on November 28, 2017. ^[4] It also marks the first chapter of a Challenge trilogy, followed by Vendettas and Final Reckoning . ^{[5] [6] [7]}

Format

The cast of the thirtieth season of The Challenge, excluding Briana LaCuesta.

The main elements of the game are as follows.

• 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. ^[4] 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.

Final challenge

If they are incorrect they must run back inside before trying again.
• Dirty Deed #2: The winners from Stage 5 will assign one player of the same sex to sleep on the ground all night while the other finalists will enjoy a comfortable bed.
• Stage 6: Players must each put on safety gear and hold onto a sled that is being pulled by a truck for as long as they can and then run to the finish line. If they drop prematurely, they must run the remaining distance. TJ would later reveal that he would not be announcing the winners until the reunion.

3. Briana and CT entered the competition in Episode 2. Briana arrived as a replacement for Ashley, while CT's late arrival was the result of passport issues.
