Inspired by the ongoing "Deepwater Horizon" oil spill disaster, the award was announced on July 29, 2010, and the official one-year competition began on August 1, 2010. The first three teams were to be awarded US$1 million, US$300,000 and US$100,000 respectively.
The Challenge (TV series) The Challenge (originally known as Road Rules: All Stars, followed by Real World/Road Rules Challenge) is a reality game show on MTV that is spun off from the network's two reality shows, "Real World" and "Road Rules". It features alumni from these two shows, in addition to first-time cast members called 'Fresh Meat', alumni from "Are You the One?", and relatives of these cast members called 'Bloodlines', competing against one another for a cash prize. "The Challenge" is currently hosted by T. J. Lavin.
