The Challenge: Final Reckoning was the 32nd season of the hit MTV reality competition series. It brought with it trials, tribulations, and a ton of drama.

Former Are You the One? contestant Hunter Barfield and Real World: Ex-Plosion's Ashley Mitchell were the winners that season. However, the latter opted to keep the million-dollar cash prize for herself instead of sharing it with her partner.

Several other familiar faces from the Reality TV world took part in The Challenge season 32. The likes of Vanderpump Rules' Faith Stowers and Are You the One?'s Tori Deal also participated.
