This season of "The Challenge" will be dedicated to "The Challenge" contestants Diem Brown who recently lost her battle with cancer and Ryan Knight who sadly passed away last week.

"The Challenge: Battle of the Exes II" takes 26 of the most infamous former flames, recent splits and, for the first time in series history, fresh faces from another MTV reality series, "Are You The One?," to Panama for one of the most unpredictable Challenge formats yet. Once paired up with their exes, these competitors must overcome their past in order to face the present, if they want a shot at claiming their share of the $350,000 grand prize. Will romances be rekindled or will unresolved issues ruin these pairs? Between the bitter rivalries, jealous lovers, and demanding challenges, it'll take the ultimate couple to withstand the pressures of the game.

A brand new, mid-season twist called "Battle of the Ex-iled" will shock the cast like never before, making the stakes even higher. Exclusively on MTV.com, "Battle of the Ex-iled" gives eliminated teams the chance to re-enter the competition for the first time ever! Each week, the newly eliminated pair will face the Ex-iled winners from the previous week to battle it out for a spot back in the game. Eager for redemption, these players are more determined than ever to knock out this second tier of opponents and shock the existing competitors with their return.

On "Battle of the Seasons," Jonna broke up with her boyfriend when she started to fall for Zach, and the two became an instant item. They moved to LA together until Zach broke up with Jonna out of the blue. Zach can't stand Jonna, despite her admitting she still has feelings for him.

"The Most Famous Challenge Couple," CT and Diem first got together on "The Duel" where CT helped Diem gain her confidence back after her struggles with cancer.

Wes & Theresa - Twitter: @westonbergmann & @TheresaTime20

Arriving at "Fresh Meat 2," Theresa was eager to find love. After she was turned down by Wes's sworn enemy she set her sights on Wes, unbeknownst to him. Their relationship did not last past the game. Wes berated Theresa during "Rivals II" after she hooked up with Leroy.

Jay & Jenna - Twitter: @JayGMTV & @JennaCompono

Jay and Jenna had been in a long-term on/off again relationship before reuniting on "Real World: Ex-Plosion." While filming,they attempted to rekindle their relationship but that fell through due to major trust issues on both ends.

Thomas & Hailey - Twitter: @ThomasBuellMTV & @HaileyChivers

Adam & Brittany - Twitter: @IamAdamKuhn & @brittany_baldi

Adam and Brittany met during "Are You The One?" where they had the ultimate love/hate relationship. Between the hook-ups and fights, they ended their relationship after Adam became fed up with Brittany's obsessive behavior.

John "JJ" & Simone - Twitter: @MaybachDiamonds & @SimoneKelly

John and Simone hooked up early on "Are You The One?," but John hit the brakes on the relationship due to lack of compatibility. Simone was not happy with this as she continued to pursue the relationship even after finding out they were not a match.
