Diem Brown’s battle with ovarian cancer had been well-documented over the course of six seasons of MTV’s The Challenge, beginning with her debut on 2006’s Real World/Road Rules Challenge: Fresh Meat and culminating, sadly, with 2015’s The Challenge: Battle of the Exes II.

Brown, who competed on the upcoming 26th season alongside on-again/off-again boyfriend C.T. Tamburello, discovered the disease had returned while filming and had to leave the game early. She died on Nov. 14 at the age of 32.

Throughout her eight years on The Challenge, Brown used the show as a platform to educate and inspire — and Brown’s decision to remove her wig mid-competition remains one of the most powerful and enduring images in MTV history. In 2010, Brown extended her reach, founding MedGift, a charity through which medical patients can create a gift registry.

MTV has announced that The Challenge: Battle of the Exes II will be dedicated to the memory of Diem Brown and Ryan Knight, a former Real World: New Orleans houseguest who died from unknown causes on Nov. 28.

Additionally, The Challenge: Battle of the Exes II — which premieres Jan. 6 at 11 p.m. — will for the first time include players from another MTV franchise, dating competition series Are You The One?.

Yes I believe this was MTV/production's last resort as they felt like the actual couples considered were boring. I believe Trey and Laura (St. Thomas) and another New Orleans couple were considered but were replaced/listed as alternates.

Apparently, Darrell/Rachel did not make the final cast, and Melinda/Danny dropped out.

I don't watch that new dating show or the new real worlds but the women from the dating show look really good from the commercials.

I guess the recent seasons cast have been that bad. I haven't watched a RW season since Portland and before that it was Las Vegas 2.

They had those fresh meat seasons where they added random people not from any rr or rw season.

Freshmeat was the 12th season of RW/RR challenge not a separate reality show.

I didn't say it was a separate show. I said they were seasons where they had people who weren't cast members of road rules or real world. They were fans who auditioned and wanted to be on the challenge.
 
Looking forward to this.

Doesn't the new Real World season start this month?
 
Even though it wouldn't work this day and age I would love road rules to come back

Road Rules was great. I've watched every season and enjoyed all of them.

Still remember when it was Derrick's season and in one of their first challenges he had to have a boxing match with crazy Abe. I'm an Abe fan and Derrick gave him that work to my shock. Of course I can't forget Abe's cornbread comment to that fat fool, darnell. Plus Cara's cute self before she showed her goods in Playboy.
 
Can we make this a real world/challenge hybrid thread? First episode of the new rw season is on now
