The contestants will be allowed to choose their partners in the order of their wins in the previous daily challenge. Meanwhile, a participant who loses their partner to elimination will be deemed a "hangnail."If a hangnail is not assigned a partner in the next daily challenge due to the uneven number of players, they will not participate in said challenge. Further, the person to win in the elimination arena will gain three points and survive.Unlike some previous seasons of The Challenge, the team to win the daily challenge will not get the chance to save another team from elimination. Instead, they will get to nominate a team to go up against the hangnail in a jury vote. Then, the person who gets the most votes will go to the elimination arena to compete against the team that placed last in the daily challenge.For more updates on The Challenge season 41, fans can follow the show's official Instagram page, @thechallenge.
