“There were almost punch-ons!” Challenge star Johnny Eastoe says the show was edited to be PG and everything good was left out

Challenge star Johnny Eastoe made the shocking claim on Wednesday that a lot of explosive content has been removed from the series in order to achieve a PG rating.

The former Survivor contestant, 32, said what Channel Ten showed was significantly tamer than what happened on set.

“There were almost punch-ons, fights, people literally wouldn’t talk to each other. None of that has been shown,” he said Yahoo.

He added: “What is depicted on television is a watered-down version of what could have been shown.”

He said what actually happened behind the scenes would have made it more appealing to watch.

“What you see on television is very PG. I think a rougher version would have been better.’

His claims come after The Challenge premiered earlier this month to record-low numbers.

The series only scored 257,000 subway viewers in the overnight ratings.

It comes after the network was brutal mocked over the casting selection for the grueling game show.

Based on an American format, The Challenge sees celebrities compete against athletes in a series of elimination games.

But viewers took to social media ahead of the premiere to infuriate the cast, after Channel 10 berated them as ‘Australia’s Most High-profile Celebrities’.

Australia’s hottest celebs? Who are 95% of these people?’ one tweeted.

The cast for the series includes Bachelor rejects like Konrad Bień-Stephen, Megan Marx, and Kiki Morris.
