MTV’s ‘The Challenge: Champs vs. Stars’ Returns — Meet the Cast and Watch the First Promo

The Challenge universe is expanding once again! The Challenge: Champs vs. Stars is returning for another season and Us Weekly can exclusively announce the cast. This season, 10 fan-favorite champions from past seasons of The Challenge will compete against the “stars” team, which for the first time, consists of both celebs and athletes. The winner will take home a share of $150,000 to donate to their charities.

Here’s how the format works this season: The winning team of each challenge will nominate an MVP, who will receive money for their charity and be safe for the week. The MVP will then choose the LVP (least valuable player) to go straight into elimination. The losing team will also nominate an LVP to go into elimination.

Amazon’s move into unscripted continues and it has bought socially conscious model competition format “The Fashion Hero.”

Amazon’s move into unscripted continues with the addition of socially conscious model competition format “The Fashion Hero” for Prime Video in the U.S., U.K., and Germany.

The one-hour format, which sets out to find models of different shapes and sizes, is fronted by Hulk Hogan’s daughter Brooke, who has struggled with body image issues. She oversees the competition as the would-be models are judged by a panel of designers and compete to be the face of a marketing campaign for their fashion brands.

The best thing to be said about new Netflix show GLOW’s mainstream credentials is that you don’t have to be even remotely interested in wrestling to enjoy it. You don’t have to know the terminology, or be invested in kayfabe or even to particularly care about the business. It’s about pure entertainment – a sitcom with a definitely flavour mixing Orange Is The New Black with Dodgeball.

The wrestling is almost incidental to the character stories and the comedy. But, that isn’t to say it doesn’t bother with that side of the show at all. In fact, it’s a carefully crafted love letter to the industry – or at least to the imagination and personalities behind some of the industry’s most notorious… silliness.

3 zucchinis

2 avocados

2 cloves of garlic

1/4 cup olive oil

juice of 1 lemon

10 medium sized fresh basil leaves

Shaved parmesan cheese

salt and pepper to taste

In a food processor, blend the meat of the avocados, two garlic cloves and basil, slowly adding olive oil and lemon to the mixture. Depending on your size of processor, you may have to do one avocado at a time, put all processed ingredients into a bowl and whip together. Add sea salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

In a large pan, sauté zucchini noodles in a dash of olive oil for about five minutes on medium heat, or until chewy-not mushy!

Stir the hot zucchini noodles into your avocado sauce.

Pair with my Lemon Parmesan Chicken recipe, add shaved parmesan cheese, and serve!

If you want to go totally fresh and peel, boil and slice your beets yourself, go right ahead. If you’re looking for a heathy- yet  quick way to make this, then buy canned, sliced beets.

This  doesn’t really require measuring, you simply make what you want to eat. But I’ll list what I get from the store. I normally do an even beet to orange ratio.

3 oranges

2 cans of sliced beets

1/4 red onion

Crumbled goat cheese

walnuts

agave nectar or honey

sea salt

olive oil

Here we go:

Slice your beets, red onion, and oranges in very thin slices.  Mix together in a bowl, and spoon mixture on to plate. Sprinkle with olive oil, honey or agave, walnuts, and sea salt. (goat cheese optional) Use left over beet juice to drizzle on plate for decoration.

It’s really THAT simple. I just had to post this because sometimes we don’t think things like this will go together until someone like me tries some crazy you-know-what! And you’ll be glad I did- this is DELICIOUS!

ENJOY!

In a blender (I use the “Ninja”)…

Blend:

1/2 a bushel of fresh cilantro, with stems (about 30-40 sprigs)

2 heaping tablespoons of Veganaise (or any mayo you prefer)

the juice of one small lime

2 tablespoons of olive oil

3 fresh garlic cloves (peeled)

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

cracked black pepper to taste

For a super healthy salad, I love this dressing over fresh-chopped, ice cold romaine lettuce with red onion and cherry tomatoes cut in half. It really doesn’t need anything else! BUT since this falls into the southwestern food vibe, you CAN go crazy with shredded cheese, tortilla strips, shredded chicken seasoned with taco seasoning, avocado, etc.! Go crazy and let me know what you used it on in the comment area below!

ENJOY!
