Mark Long talks The Challenge: All Stars (premieres today on Paramount+)
-He was the driving force behind getting this show together.
-Originally wanted it to be called The Challenge: OGs but lost the battle to the network wanting to call it All Stars. They use the term All Stars lightly as it isnt about who s won the most, it s about being memorable, personality, etc.
-Wanted to bring the show back to its glory days where it was normal people competing against one another as opposed to athletes that have infiltrated The Challenge nowadays. Also wanted The Challenge: OGs to last 3-4 weeks as opposed to the 10 weeks or so The Challenge last.
