In this cast special, host TJ Lavin and Challenger Camila Nakagawa give us a sneak peek of the brand new season and introduce the thirteen turbulent ex-flames competing on The Challenge: Battle of the Exes II.

26 competitors arrive in Panama and are anxious to learn they'll be competing with their EXES. And with almost half of the house being rookies for the first time ever, new flirtations spark jealousy between former flames, and the veterans fear they may be outnumbered.

All eyes fall on a budding romance in the house, and tension rises between two hot-headed veteran teams. At the "Rounding the Bases" challenge, one pair struggles to work together when they can't get over past infidelities.

The house gets disheartening news when Diem's worsening medical condition forces her and CT to leave the game. Past rivalries resurface as the power couple puts veteran teams in the hot seat.

A scandalous night out leads to surprising hook-ups and evokes one player's unrequited feelings of love for her partner.

The house is turned upside down when the ongoing feud between two power couples comes to a head at eliminations.

The toughest challenge yet shakes up the exes like never before. One couple reaches their boiling point when one player's reputation questions their fate in the game.

The teams' confidence continues to unravel as they endure a nerve-racking trivia test. The new power couple makes a risky move during nominations, gaining new enemies.

As an adrenaline-pumping challenge has teams jumping from fast-moving semi-trucks, a veteran couple manipulates the other teams in order to keep themselves safe.

Drama erupts when the season's twist, Battle of the Ex-iled, reigning champions are revealed, causing friends to backstab one another as the dynamics of the game change instantly.

The first nighttime challenge EVER takes the teams to new, death-defying heights. A shocking move from the power couple tears their strongest alliance apart and leaves their other friendships in ruins.
