The Challenge Creator Opens Up About Losing Diem Brown

"MTV just aired a wonderful special, We Love Diem, and it was just beautiful," Murray says. "It's available to watch online. And we also pay tribute to them in The Challenge casting special that will air prior to The Challenge airing. In the show itself, we dedicate it to them and we really looked at the scenes they were in and how we show them, and made sure that we send them out in a really positive way."

For fans worried that watching Brown and Knight on the upcoming season might be too hard for them, knowing they are no longer alive, Murray says watching them will actually be a cathartic experience.

"When I watch them, it actually warms my heart," Murray says. "Seeing them so happy, so enjoying life, so enjoying the people around them, it actually feels really positive in a strange way. There was so much love for them among the cast and that really comes through in these episodes. I think if you're feeling their loss, in a way, it's like gathering with these cast members that you've grown to love and appreciate and going through it with them."
