The Challenge: New Blood

New Blood is the second season of The Challenge.

Description
New Blood pairs 14 brand new challengers with 14 veterans in one of the most dramatic Challenges to date. Strategy is key in Fresh Meat II, and alliances hold more value than friendships. Old and new rivalries will drive the competition...on and off the playing field...and only the most cunning will survive.

Format
Each team will participate in numerous challenges followed by an elimination round known as "Purgatory". The winners of the challenge will be safe from elimination. One team will be voted into elimination via secret ballot. The challenge winners will receive the Power Vote which will give them two votes. The selected team will be revealed in Armageddon. The votes for that team will also be revealed. The selected team will then choose out of those teams who they would want to go against. The two teams will then compete in the elimination round. The winners stay in the game, while the losers are eliminated.

Prize money is split as follows:
 * Winners: $1,000,000 ($500,000 each)

Twists

 * Winners Take All: For the first time in a pairs season, only the winners of the Final Challenge will be awarded money.
 * Share or Steal: The best player out of the winning pair will choose whether or not they will share the prize with their partner.
 * Redemption House: Eliminated teams are able to compete for a chance to re-enter the game.
 * The Double Cross: The Double Cross comes into the Redemption House this season. The team that pulls the Double Cross will choose one team to compete against in the Apocalypse. The other teams will be eliminated.
 * Purge Challenges: In some challenges, the last-place teams will be automatically eliminated from the game.
