Channel 10 has secured non-binary entertainer Brihony Dawson to host the upcoming reality series, The Challenge Australia.
Across their career sports commentator, songwriter and entertainer, Dawson has commanded the attention of crowds on some of the biggest stages, including NYC Pride, Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, the Australian Formula One Grand Prix, AFLW Grand Final, W-Awards and Women’s Footy Show.
But, how will they navigate the terrain, the elements, brutal challenges and the personalities of some of Australia’s biggest reality stars? Challenge accepted.
Brihony said: “The Challenge Australia is going to be like nothing we’ve seen before on Australian TV. It’s high impact, high intensity and will push the contestants to their absolute best.
“Mental toughness is going to be the main attribute to get contestants through this game. There is a lot of physicality needed, but it’s the mentally strong who will ultimately be successful. All this while living in an uber luxe villa together in Argentina.”
The Challenge Australia will be filmed in and around Buenos Aires, Argentina, and see Australia’s most-talked about reality stars compete with and against each other in extreme challenges that push both their mind and bodies past breaking point.
The series will see four countries produce their own local version of The Challenge (named as Part 1), with the winners from each local version then competing against each other in the final (Part 2).
The four countries competing are Australia, the US, the UK, and Argentina.
With an ever-changing game, players will be in a constant state of paranoia, unable to trust anyone but themselves as they’ll all be living under the same roof.
On the line is $200,000 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?
The Challenge Australia is coming soon to 10.
