And starting from the fifth season, everyone can see a major change of hosts, and the reason is also obvious. In the fifth season of "Extreme Challenge", the behavior of old members such as Huang Lei was often stopped by the director. This was not the case in previous seasons because the director of the fifth season also changed. The director requires the guests to operate the game according to the script. The plot is too rigid, and many times the audience can guess what the guest's next move will be. As a result, the ratings began to decline from the beginning of the fifth season, and even suffered a suspension.
At the beginning of the sixth season, a major change of hosts indicated that Extreme Challenge would be replaced by a brand new program. Due to Luo Zhixiang's sudden scandal, all of his programs in the mainland have been banned, and his desire to return to "Extreme Challenge" is no longer possible. Zhang Yixing, who has been filming for 5 seasons, is currently preparing to produce an album and various concerts, so it makes sense for him to quit.
The most important thing is that the brand value of this variety show is not what it used to be. Ratings and critical acclaim dropped each season. Although Huang Bo, Sun Honglei, Luo Zhixiang, Huang Lei, Zhang Yixing and other stars are big stars in the entertainment industry, now that this variety show is no longer profitable, who is willing to continue to participate in it?
