The Challenge Fandom Podcast

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh, Tony, Katie and Alexis! That's right we are all on this week and it's a special week... well, not really. But Corrina and Katie turned it into a special week complete with a couple glasses of wine and some fireworks mid-show! Make sure you don't miss it! 

We kick off with a bunch of BS that has nearly no relation to what we're supposed to be talking about. If you don't like it, skip to 30:55. Then we break into the show discussing Cara's skills at planting seeds, Ryan playing both sides, Steve The Hand Job Model's Bulgarian Bag, whether or not 30 seconds was an advantage worth all that running, why Rick does not like the dailies this season, Cara realizing how much of a social threat Jasmine truly is in this game and of course, Kam's approach to trying to get voted in. Next we break down the nomination ceremony and I will give you all a heads up, it gets a bit heated but remember - if we can argue and disagree the way we do but still love each other and be friends afterwards, you guys can too :) To close out the episode we discuss what we think would have improved this elimination ceremony, why Nicole is one of the most unbearable Challenge players ever, who we had thought would win between Kefla and Steve, star swapping and of course TRIVIA next week baby! All this and more now on The Challenge Fandom Podcast!

Hey Fandom! Sorry for this extremely late one and thank you in advance to those who still take the time to listen through. We weren't sure if we were going to release this episode to start with so that delayed us a bit and once we decided to release it, it's just been a string of problems since the start. That being said, on this episode Rick, Corrina, Tony, Katie and Alexis get together to *kind of* talk about The Challenge All Stars 4  episode 5 titled "The Way You Make Me Steal". We had a tough time staying on track during this episode and ended up BSing for half the episode and then casually chatting about the episode for the other half. If you'd like to start and just hear what our thoughts were about what happened on episode 5 skip to around 33:00. 

To kick off we discuss a variety of other topics such as Kendrick Lamar VS Aubrey Graham aka "Drake", Deadpool and Wolverine, how much times have changed since we were kids, millennial throwbacks and so much more I won't bore you with by putting it into writing. Once we start recapping The Challenge All Stars 4 we discuss everything that happened on the episode to some extent but we also discussed some very important things such as Leroy discussing men's post-partum depression, our debates on what's going on with Laurel and Nicole, why All Stars reigns supreme over the flagship and all the other spin offs, why we still don't blame Brandon for his decision on episode 4, why we hated this daily format so much, how we feel about Cara attempting to take a final away from Leroy again, whether or not it's okay to have sex in the same room that other people are sleeping in, why we think Cara made several bad decisions this week and why was Leroy's strategy so much more effective in elimination than Brandon's? All that and so much more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast.

Thank you very much to those of you who have been patient with us over the last season and start of this one while we get all these moving facets of our business locked down. We cannot tell you all what the support means to us and we are definitely getting back on track and we are just grateful for those who have stuck it out with us. 

Don't forget to check out our merch line! We will be dropping new designs for the summer and we've got a sale coming up soon!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of The Challenge All Stars 4 Roundtable Recaps with your Challenge Fandom Podcast Hosts Rick, Corrina, Katie, Josh and a special guest, Talik from Mental Health Check-In with Talik. Join us as we break down The Challenge All Stars 4 episode 4 "Stargets". We kick off the episode with a little BSing session so if you'd like to skip directly to the recap, start the show around 10:00. After that we kick off the show by discussing some foreshadowing mistakes, Nicole stirring the pot between Kam and Cara, how Cara could have avoided all this noise with Kam and do the fans REALLY want OG Challenges to come back?! Next we move into breaking down this incredibly ridiculous daily challenge and by break it down, I mean we made jokes and talked about who won since there wasn't much to say about this daily mission. Next we move into how Nicole was never brought up for nominations, Kam attempts to shoot down Cara, Brandon makes a power move early in the game, how horrendous Tina's social game truly is, Cara flipping out over being treated how she portrays herself, friends vs game vs alliances and can they all co-exist and of course, Queen Rachel gives everyone a lesson on what it means to accept being the strong target you are! We close out the show by discussing Cara's star reassignment and what we think would have been a better choice and we also discuss better strategies for this elimination along with what we are looking forward to most with Cara's game this season.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Katie. This week we got together to talk about The Challenge All Stars 4 EP3 "True Colors" and breakdown all the highs and lows of the episode... if you can call any of episode 3 a "low"! We start off with a little BSing intro so if you'd like to skip that, go to 8:05. We breakdown the previous elimination winner getting to recap the previous episode, Kam and Leroy having a phone of photos in the house, Tony Time expiring, the hot and cold couple Laurel and Nicole, how we felt about Syrus coming into the game and what do you prefer: when they choose their own partners or when their partners are randomly chosen for them? We also discuss the hottest new couple to come out of All Stars 4 (do you know who it is?!), talk about the last time the three girls were all up for elimination at the same time, why Leroy seems to be struggling with his competition side this season and Flora schemes with Brandon to spread around a bit of information they overheard at the end of the daily. We breakdown what Ayanna said, Laurel's approach to investigating the situation, Kam confronting Ayanna and how do you feel when people get overly defensive over things like this? We also discuss why we believe there are more double eliminations on their way, how we felt about Kam's nomination ceremony, the different POV's on alliances and how they should work, Kefla's incredible first elimination win, Rachel proving why endurance is still one of the most important aspects of this game, a fun hypothetical given to us by Rick and did Rachel make a smart move or a scared move? All this plus MVP's lines of the night and so much more now on The Challenge Fandom Podcast!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back, yet again, for another episode of Challenge Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony, Katie and Alexis. On this episode we continue our normal BS while we breakdown the second part of the premiere for The Challenge All Stars 4 episode 2 "You Won't Break My Soul". Fair warning, we were a bit delirious by this point in recording and went on a bit of a BSing spree so if you want to skip all the random chit chat, go to 22:50. If you'd like to hear us talk about random comedians, married life, being a Challenge fan and hear Tony's updates on his 2024 Walk For Alzheimer's, we hope you enjoy the episode from start to finish as we did. Once we do break into the show, we discuss a variety of things such as how we feel about the previous elimination winner recapping the previous episode, how spreading lies in the house can effect someone, nostalgic entrances and what are we really missing on this throwback season? We also breakdown the daily and discuss how important the sticker radio clues really were, Laurel's pettiness toward Nicole, Ayanna's master plan of chaos and the never ending speech that sent Leroy into a spiral! We also discuss how we feel about Tina being able to steal a star without competing in an elimination, lines of the night, MVPs and so much more!

We close out the show by discussing Steve's strategy in the elimination VS Tyri, grade the episode, give out our first MVP's of the season and we also have a discussion about whether or not we will see some of these players who get their star stolen will go after that same star!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Katie and Alexis! This week we sat down to breakdown the full cast of The Challenge All Stars 4 along with some debates such as whether cast members NOT from Real World or Road Rules should be allowed to compete on All Stars, Rachel Robinson's return, why we think Kam and Leroy have the winningest formula this season, why it's so important to stay in touch with fellow cast members over the years, how to take it when people say "I'm retiring from The Challenge", where casting missed golden opportunities to reintroduce players that have been wanting to return, what we think the biggest casting miss is, male and female alliance predictions, format predictions and of course winner picks!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another epic episode of Challengers Unplugged with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina and Josh! On this episode we sat down with OG Challenger Tina Bridges to talk all things in her life and reality TV experience. Fortunately, the interview didn't go that way LOL! This interview is not like any other Unplugged we have ever done in that it is truly an Unplugged conversation. This episode comes with a heavy content warning as there is talk of sex, drugs/alcohol and other content that may not be appropriate for certain age groups. Aside from that we also discuss what it's like getting invited out after the age of 30, the mental effects of playing The Challenge long term over many consecutive seasons, casting stories, differences from casting today VS the older days, what Tina's biggest concern is when going back onto The Challenge for All Stars, how she feels about cast and production leaking spoilers, and how much has the internet and social media truly changed everything about reality TV. We also break down monumental moments of The Challenge that Tina has been around for, her partnership with Kenny on Fresh Meat, why having a good balance between competitiveness and entertainment on the show, how badly filming mistakes can effect you in the actual game, old season introductions VS new age introductions, individual VS team formats and who would Tina's dream team of 4 be?! Lastly we discuss her meeting of Jordan and how she feels about him as a person, whether it's smart or short sighted to work with large alliances, whether she ever expected the show to grow to the magnitude it has today, how she's been feeling about herself since returning to The Challenge and of course, her advice for fellow Challengers and fans going forward. All this and so much more now available on this 160th episode of The Challenge Fandom Podcast Challengers Unplugged: Tina Bridges - Beyond The Edit. 

Don't forget we have a new merch line and we'd LOVE to see you all sporting your favorite custom Challenge Fandom designs! Check out the website now and place your order today!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another epic episode of Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit with Kyland Young. This interview was conducted in two parts over a 5 day period where more of our team was available during the first part but not during the second part. We also upgrade our camera in between part 1 and part 2 so if you notice some differences there, that's why! 

Buckle in as we sit down with Kyland for over 3 hours of everything life, reality TV, Corporate America and so much more. We kick off by talking about where he was born and raised, what he wanted to be when he was younger, his college major and how he met his best friend Brett Savage. We also discuss a few of his previous jobs including working for Blavity, Cutco and Scholy. Then we break into his introduction into The Challenge, how difficult it was to send Sarah Beth home on Big Brother, why the BB house is the hardest for reality competition shows, why Big Brother contestants have seen so much success on The Challenge, and what has he learned about getting voted into elimination. We also discuss his diagnosis on the Spectrum, various game styles that can be successful on The Challenge, how he prepared with research before going onto The Challenge and was he contacted for World Championship? (0:00 - 1:01:00). In the second part we break into Kyland's time playing The Challenge and we start off by seeing which Challenge vet he would have chosen on Worlds, which type of players he wants to face in elimination, Goku mentality and which Marvel character is Kyland most like? We also find out how Kyland and Horacio met, who Kyland's only real friend was going into The Challenge 39, meeting Melissa, whether or not the country alliance was real, and what were the self nomination speeches really like? We also discuss what happened with Colleen, Jay's game play, going into elimination 5 times, how his relationship with Zara began, what truly happened during the "laughing at ASAF" issue, where him and Olivia stand now and what would be his advice to Olivia to deal with the social backlash? Finally, we close out the interview by discussing Michele's authentic reaction to Laurel showing up, whether or not he would change anything about his strategy in the elimination against Nurys, were the eliminations and final truly equalized, which mercenary win meant the most and of course, Kyland addresses the rumors that there was a deal made to throw that elimination to Nurys. All this and so much more in this epic 3 hour breakdown of Kyland Young's life and reality TV experience! We hope you all enjoy and make sure you check out our new merch line now available with multiple designs!

*Recommendation is to watch this video on YT for full comprehension as some of the audio gets a bit wonky and it's easier to understand if you're watching rather than just listening*

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another epic episode of Challengers Unplugged where we take you beyond the edit with your favorite Challengers and various reality stars. This week we are FINALLY bringing you our very special episode from across the pond with none other than Zara Zoffany! We sat down with Zara a couple weeks after she was eliminated from The Challenge 39 "Battle for a New Champion" and discussed all things life, love and competition! This was definitely a "girls-girl" type of episode and we are so honored to bring these stories to you first hand from Zara. 

We kick off by catching up with Zara on her recent activities with Ravyn and Nurys and we also get a fun story about the first time she met Jordan! Then we break into Zara's life growing up including: where she was born, her ethnicity, what she watned to be when she grew up, whether or not she was always athletic and what her biggest lifetime hurdle has been plus how she learned to overcome those types of things. Then we break into how she got so into fitness, what the fitness community is like for women in the UK, how her experience differed from The Challenge UK to Worlds to S39 and even how all of those were completely different than her experience on another show she appeared on called Royal Match. We discuss how big of a part edits can play, get some funny stories about her wild days and then we move into getting cast for The Challenge UK. We discuss how her and James met, whether or not she felt The Challenge UK prepared her for Worlds and S39, what her research/preparation leading up to Worlds looked like and was Wes truly her first choice for her legend partner? She then breaks down what truly sealed the deal for her and Wes on Worlds, how she felt going into the elimination with Kaycee and how S39 cast differed for her. We then break down S39 discussing a multitude of things including: who she thought the strongest players were, Melissa VS Ravyn, alliances VS friendships, whether or not you can have a friendship in real life but not work together in the game, why she self nominated for elimination, unexpected friends she made and when did James truly start slipping up on their friendship? We also discuss whether or not Zara would ever be able to play with Moriah, Michele or James again, how she felt about the conquest elimination wall being changed after she was eliminated, whether or not she prefers to run a final against the strongest or weakest competitors, her dream team of 4, her true feelings on Ed saving Jay after the stalemate and so much more! Plus we get through a few really fun fan questions so shout out to those listeners and IG followers for submitting your questions. We hope you all enjoy this episode.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for the final Roundtable Recap of MTV's The Challenge season 39 "Battle For A New Champion" EP 19 "Only One Gets The Crown". Tonight we've got Rick, Corrina, Tony, Katie and Alexis all on to give our final thoughts on this season, discuss the ending to the final, debate what we liked and didn't like and of course, talk about what we'd like to see next. We had a lot of great discussions and debates on this episode; we hope you all enjoy it! See you for another Roundtable a week before All Stars 4 premieres for our cast and prediction episode where we are planning a really fun game we think you all will enjoy!

To kick off this episode we discuss what's the difference between Emanuel's win and Turbo's win, what does the "old Challenge" mean, why is this season's payout so low and should eliminations be mandatory every single season? We also discuss the different stages of the final including our predictions for if Nurys would have chosen the Chaos mace, whether we'd pick the blanket, pillow or chair, what our game ending foods would be, how we felt about TJ coaching players through the final, debates on finalists working together to help each other on various checkpoints and... does anyone actually care about seeing cameras/crew/shadows in the shots? Finally we wrap things up by debating the final checkpoint and whether or not Nurys had a real advantage, did we think it felt like a real final, what order we'd do the stages of checkpoint 3, whether or not Nurys should have been crowned the female champion and so much more! All this and more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged where we take you beyond the edit with some of your favorite reality stars. For this episode we are joined by Big Brother 23 winner, co-creator of The Cookout, contestant on The Challenge USA 1 and overall awesome human being, Xavier Prather.

Fair warning - We recorded this episode in September of 2023. We had to hold the episode for some time due to things that Xavier would potentially be working on however things just kept getting pushed back so we decided to release it. When recording this episode, we had very bad connection and therefore we are unable to process video with this episode. We hope you all understand.

We kick off the episode by talking to Xavier about getting older while remaining athletic, how his recent injuries were healing up and did he always want to play basketball? He leads us through the story of injuring his ACL and getting surgery to repair it, how he became a lawyer, why he decided to go on reality TV and what was it like getting out of work for 3 months as a lawyer? Then we break into his time on Big Brother including whether or not The Cookout was a preconceived idea before going into the house, how he felt about the team aspect on that season, what it was like voting off Alyssa, why he decided to get Tiffany and Kyland out immediately and which Big Brother players does Xavier think could make the jump to The Challenge? Next we break into his current standings with Kyland, his time featuring on The Bold and The Beautiful, what it was like being part of history on Big Brother, why he chose to go onto The Challenge, how he felt about so many members of BB23 being cast on the same season of The Challenge, Alyssa taking revenge shots at him on The Challenge USA 1 and where does he sit in his relationships with other cast members from BB23?

Next we break into his time ending on The Challenge USA so quickly including whether or not he regrets breaking the glass during his elimination that sent him home, what the most frustrating daily challenge was, whether he'd ever even consider coming back on the show or on the flagship, how he felt about the partnered eliminations, and does he watch any reality TV now? We also have some fun debates about hypothetical elimination situations and which elimination he'd choose against which Challenge GOAT, who he would choose in a Prime CT VS Prime Faysal Hall Brawl elimination, what the stipulations are to him ever doing Big Brother again, and how does a competitor like Xavier feel about the entertainment factor in competition reality games like The Challenge and Big Brother? Lastly, we wrap the episode up by discussing whether he was called for USA 2, whether he'd ever consider doing a show like Traitors or Amazing Race, his Male and Female Mt Rushmore updates and what does your drink of choice say about your in the club? All this and so much more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Katie and Josh of The Challenge Fandom Podcast. This week we sat down to recap and debate part 1 of MTV's The Challenge season 39 "Battle for a New Champion" EP 18. We kick off the episode welcoming Josh back and BSing a little (0:00 - 8:57). Then we break into the episode by discussing why we think this season has felt so long, how we felt about TJ announcing to the cast that they had made the final, our thoughts on the letters from home, and will the winner of this season deserve it? We also discuss whether Corey should have let Jay take the orange ropes, how Moriah could have possibly missed the rope on her journey back to the puzzle and what is everyone's thoughts on first place not losing money even when second and third do? After our short break we debate whether or not Corey picking Jay for the elimination was a surprise, how we felt about Jay's speech to Nurys, who we think has been the best partner throughout this final and should the boxes in stage 3 of the Chaos portion been weight proportionate? Lastly we break down the eating portion of the final and discuss how we would personally approach the eye ball, which foods on The Challenge would immediately send us home, who do we think Emanuel will choose for the final elimination before the Conquest section of the final begins and how does everyone think the 2nd elimination contender will be chosen? Plus we have a fun discussion on what we miss most from finals, so make sure you come join us on Instagram to finish the discussion!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your hosts Rick, Corrina and Alexis of The Challenge Fandom Podcast. This week we are here to breakdown everything from MTV's The Challenge season 39 "Battle for a New Champion" episode 17 "Feel The Bern" and we have a very special guest joining us - Pierre from The Zach Nichols Podcast and GOHT Media. Joining us following a very successful dual interview with Nurys Mateo and Horacio Gutierrez, Pierre helps us break down this episode from start to finish and provides a ton of great points and discussion topics along the way. We kick it off by discussing Olivia's apology to Nurys, how Nurys is able to game better than probably anyone else on this season, whether or not private vs public elimination would have changed Nurys' goals going back into the house and how did everyone feel about this daily challenge? We discuss how we feel about Michele being purged and whether or not she deserved to go to this final, is Moriah a good social game player or did she just get lucky, why it's good to have people with bad integrity on the show, how we feel about Berna winning this final daily challenge, why Berna's refusal to be part of an all girls final was a mistake in more ways than one and is social floating an acceptable game style? (0:00 - 1:11:11) In part 2 we break down the house party, Nurys' ability to be cold as ice, whether or not Jay was ever truly going to save Nurys, Colleen's Game-of-Thrones-season-8-Daenerys-Targaryen move and can friendship and game play be kept separate? We break down Nurys confronting Colleen, why villians are so important to this show, TJ calling Jay out and would James have even fit inside that ice bucket in the private conquest elimination? Finally we discuss whether or not we ever thought Nurys had a chance of losing this elimination, discuss whether or not we think there will be champion mercenaries in the chaos portion of the final, predict whether it will be teams, partners or individual for the final, debate MVP's, lines of the night and so much more! All this and more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast and don't forget to go subscribe to The Zach Nichols Podcast patreon and check out the Nurys and Horacio dual 2.5 hour interview now available! When you're done there, make sure you check out Gimme That Mic to hear Olivia's side of the story. Don't forget to be kind to the cast and to one another.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Katie of The Challenge Fandom Podcast. This week we have a very special guest, Melinda, joining us to break everything down from MTV's The Challenge Season 39 "Battle for a New Champion" episode 16 "Family Knows Best. We kick off the episode with a quick introduction to our guest Melinda including how she became a fan of The Challenge and who her MT Rushmore is. Then we begin the recap at 8:25 discussing whether or not Kyland realizes the threat level of his own best friend, why this isn't an all woman's final, Kyland's epic prank on the house, his argument with Berna and our thoughts on what was revealed to us about Berna's relationship with her mother. We also break down the... daily? Or at least what was shown as a daily, debate whether this is a competition or reality show and was Jay really considering choosing Emanuel over Nurys in the school-yard selection process? Plus we discuss some things we learned from watching Nurys live on IG Wednesday shortly following the episode airing (8:25 - 1:03:03). In part 2 we break down Moriah giving Nurys the tea in the club, why Berna probably had the best plan overall for that side of the house, debate how many alliances are truly in the house and how can Jay blame anyone for the stalemate except himself?! We also debate whether or not shortened seasons could make for more interesting gameplay, what the biggest issue with this season is and finally, we break down the entire nomination ceremony including Olivia's double betrayal, James' betrayal and Berna's move that would have been way more epic had Olivia made it for Horacio or Nurys. Finally we give Kyland his flowers for sleeping in his uniform, praise Nurys for the way she handled everything with Olivia, debate whether or not Horacio and Kyland threw the elimination to Nurys, rank Nurys' win on the greatest moments of all time list, MVP's and Lines of the Night plus we take picks on the top 7 finalists we think will make it through next episode and debate whether or not we like TJ making discussion at nominations. All this and more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast! Special thanks to our guest Melinda for joining us to break down this wild episode!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast Hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony, Katie and Alexis. This week we are here to break down The Challenge 39: Battle for a New Champion, episode 15 "Welcome To Conquest". We kick off the episode by discussing which side of the house we are each on and why, how we feel about the Jay VS Kyland scenario and should Challengers be able to celebrate at the elimination? We also break down our complicated thoughts on Jay confronting Nurys and going as far as blowing things up with Michele. Next we break into the daily challenge, purge format, how we feel when Challengers cry after they lose, and who sits on what side of the debate of whether the men VS women eliminations are okay. After the break we discuss why this boat day sucked so much, whether or not we think Ed is playing a good or scared game, our true feelings about Jay's master plan to put Nurys on the spot, James' betrayal of Zara and of course how we feel about the private elimination and setup. To close everything out we discuss which order we think was best for the elimination, give major props to Zara for being fun to watch, MVP's and what is Rick's biggest complaint about The Challenge since Ride or Dies?!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Alexis of The Challenge Fandom Podcast. This week we decided to end the Chaos section of MTV's The Challenge 39 "Battle for a New Champion" by bringing in one of our favorite returning guests, Alex Brizard from Netflix's The Circle and the highly successful podcast, Two Dudes Watch Cartoons. We break right into an overall recap of whether or not we think this is the worst season ever, why no one going home the last few weeks is actually a good thing, some of our least favorite worst season titles, and of course we get Alex's opinion on the Mercenaries and their eliminations this season. We also discuss Asaf's interview, how we feel about the single winner format, whether or not we believe Olivia was being gaslit by more than just Jay, and how does everyone feel about this mini final? (0:00 - 59:01). In part 2 we break down Jay's reaction to the social climate in the house, whether or not CT has ever NOT been a Mercenary when they have them, Horacio shutting down Michele in the club and is Kyland and Horacio an unbeatable combination in the game? Next we break down who we each think is winning at this point, and discuss what we like and don't like about this format before we break into nominations. We discuss how this may be the turning point of the season, whether or not we think the "Really Fits" alliance can compete socially with the US alliance, did Jay know that CT was coming and how did we feel about CT not picking Jay for the elimination? To wrap it all up we discuss Ed's power play, CT's epic entrance, how we feel about him choosing Asaf, elimination feedback, who we'd like to see become a mainstay from this season, S40 format predictions, MVP's and so much more!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony, Katie and Alexis! This week we are here to break down The Challenge 39 Battle for a New Champion EP13 "El Saboteur" and boy did we have fun with this one! We kick off with a 30K foot view of the episode including Corrina's confusion and then moment of clarity on the episode title, Brad's jetlag and what is with the yellow shoes? Are they crocs or what?! We also discuss Olivia talking to everyone about her issue with Horacio except Horacio, Nurys telling Horacio he has to start making friends and is Kyland becoming a bigger target than Horacio? We also debate whether or not this daily win should count for the contestants as the answer was spelt incorrectly, did Horacio know his team was sabotaging him, do the Challengers get to see the entire episode before going off to film the reunion and of course Kyland's petty call out to the winning team for being scared of Horacio (0:00 - 43:25). In the second half of the episode we break down Jay and Colleen's discussion about her position with him, whether or not Nurys would be better suited working with Horacio/Kyland or with Jay/Michele, and did Jay gaslight Olivia into believing Horacio doesn't care about her? Lastly we break down Nurys' conversation in the club, Horacio and Olivia finally talking, Jay's Micheltdown, Corey saving Jay from potential nomination, should Nurys burn and how sad was it to see almost nobody know who Brad was? Lastly Alexis gives us a little break down on her trip to Challenge Mania in Indy plus so much more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of The Challenge Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Katie. This week we have a very special guest joining us to break it all down - Jacob Hollabaugh AKA The Challenge Historian. We kick off the recap by catching up with The Historian on his 30,000 FT view of this season including how he feels about the Fandom's reaction to the season, whether or not he thinks the Champion Mercenary gimmick works, and is it okay to get help from the audience? (0:00 - 12:36) Then we begin breaking down this episode by discussing Olivia's Imposter Syndrome, discussing whether or not daily wins matter where the Historian gives us a very shocking statistic, how we feel about the difference between being friends in the house and being in an alliance and of course Olivia beginning to wonder if Horacio is really with her. We also break down the daily Challenge, how we felt about this particular daily including Michele's pre-interview call-out, whether or not we think Zara should be a mainstay on The Challenge, our input and rumors on if the Mercenaries schedule changed last minute and lastly, we break down the daily winner's nomination of Ravyn (12:36 - 1:14:43). In the second part of the episode, we discuss Colleen's notebook, the Fantastic Four alliance of Nurys, Jay, Michele and Asaf, why we think Michele and Laurel are more alike than they'd like to admit, Olivia saying she'd be willing to overlook Jay sending Horacio into elimination, and should the new Powerhouse Alliance aim for winning dailies or not? To close out this episode we break down the nominations with a heavy lean on Ravyn and Colleen's public call out of their alliance members, why Hurricane Jay is criticizing what he's also serving, why we think the Champion Mercenaries have been spoiling their appearances each week, and last but not least, the epic return of Cara Maria Sorbello! We also debate whether or not these eliminations should truly be aimed toward the strengths of the Champions, our lines of the night, MVPs, end of season winner picks and a fun prediction by The Challenge Historian on what would happen if Brad pulls the Chaos Mace in next weeks episode! All this and more now on The Challenge Fandom Podcast and don't forget, we are BACK with full video so make sure you're following us on YouTube and check out our episodes over there for a more interactive experience.

We have so many exciting things for you all this year but for now lets get started with The Challenge 39 "Battle For A New Champion" EP 11 "My Own Worst Frenemy" Roundtable Recap. This week Rick, Corrina, Tony and Alexis hopped in the studio together to break down the episode and we couldn't get started anywhere else but by discussing how strange the eliminations are that the mercenaries are being given this season. Moving forward we break down the nightly and discuss whether or not onions and garlic are a snack or punishment, how many contestants will know who Brad is when he shows up, which of the available foods would you eat during the nightly, why didn't James back Moriah up in the winners deliberation and what did we think of Ravyn's public call out right after the nomination (0:00 - 39:15). In the second part of this episode we break down the Goku complex running through the house, debate when confessionals are completed, ABC parties and why are the newbies so afraid of creating conflict on purpose? We also discuss Horacio and Nurys, Berna the Booty Police, and what the heck was Zara thinking breaking Challenge rule number one?! Lastly, we break down how we feel about Michele acting so terrified of Laurel, production playing tricks on us, whether or not we think Ravyn had a chance to win without the help of the audience, which alliance is better set, MVPs and whats the one thing we wish TJ WAS doing during these mercenary announcements that he hasn't been doing. All this and more now on The Challenge Fandom Podcast! We really hope you all enjoy this episode and... GO BLUE!!!!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick and Corrina. We sat down with Tiffany Mitchell from Big Brother 23, and The Challenge USA seasons 1 and 2 to talk all things life and reality TV. We kick off the episode by talking with Tiffany about where she grew up, what her job was before reality TV, how she got into phlebotomy, owning her own business and eventually how she came to find Big Brother. She walks us through the full story of how The Cookout was created, what her original plans were walking into the season and how long it was between getting off Big Brother to going onto The Challenge USA season 1. We discuss Xavier's blowback on The Challenge USA 1 with having so many players from Big Brother 23 on the cast, why she stepped back from socializing on her first season of The Challenge, what it was like being done dirty by people she trusted and even a funny story about a cast member who missed their flight to start filming and still somehow ended up on the cast! We also ask her which host she thinks is best, whether or not it was easy coming back for redemption, how she changed her preparation style before season 2 and were the vets on USA 2 truly a surprise to the CBS players? Lastly we discuss her thoughts on MTV Challengers and CBS Challengers mixing on each other's networks, which vets she made friends with that she didn't think she would, what was cut from the Dusty blow up, suffering with Imposter Syndrome, her confrontation with Josh Martinez, MT Rushmore for Big Brother and The Challenge and of course, what advice she has for all those who love her. All this and more now on The Challenge Fandom Podcast! We hope you all enjoy listening to this interview as much as we enjoyed doing it. Merry Christmas Fandom!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Katie, Alexis and Josh! This week we got together to discuss the most recent episode of MTV's The Challenge season 39 "Battle for a New Champion" episode 9 "A Banana Split". We kick off the episode by debating the difference between purposeful drama and fake drama and which are we dealing with on this season of The Challenge? We also dive into Emanuel's new position in the house, why Devin got so upset at Asaf for the personal comparison, should Moriah wait to tell Bananas or should she have already called him and was the Asaf and Melissa discussion a binding pact to protect each other at all costs PLUS... would Melissa have put her neck on the line for Asaf? We also debate whether or not it's possible to play a clean, honest game in The Challenge House and what would have happened if Melissa had thrown her drink on another woman in the house with less self control? Next we discuss TJ's hint toward the mercenary, rate Tori on the GOAT scale and debate whether or not the team format on this daily was mishandled. We also discuss whether or not we were surprised nobody except Emanuel took advantage of the sabotage in event one, how we think the teams should have handled the three person team from the start, did Asaf make the right move by being quiet during winner deliberations, Rayvn's politics this season and of course, Kyland's personal shot at Asaf during nominations (0:00 - 54:17). In the second part of the episode we discuss why Colleen would be the current target, Meltdown Melissa in the club and can anyone truly understand drunk James in the club?! We digress... we debate whether or not Moriah is truly flipping to the other side of the house, why is Colleen so jealous, hidden hookups and how in the world does Michele have so much control over the house that she was able to protect Moriah with so many eyes on her?! We also discuss the difference between being a GOAT and being one of the greatest people to ever play the game, debate where we think Tori falls in all of it and did Tori have a right to call Moriah out for what is going on with James? Lastly we talk about Banana's heartbreak, his petty get-back move, why he would have cancelled his mercenary appearance instead of showing up to try and call James out, Tori's elimination strategy VS Melissa's, where did Tori learn to be good with organizing puzzles all of a sudden and of course we discuss the highly debated topic - is it feasible for any of the women on this cast to beat all of the men on this cast in a final and what would have to happen in order for that to come to fruition.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Katie! This week we sat down together to test out a new recording platform while we discuss The Challenge season 39 Battle For A New Champion episode 8 "Struggling To Hold It Together". We kick off the episode talking about old school episode titles that used to spoil the ending of the episode, Amazon Prime spoiling this episode, divisions on the USA alliance and is Zara truly one of the most threatening women for a final? We also discuss Big T's call with Kyle and whether or not we think Kyle would actually be protecting Big T, why did Corey say what he said to Melissa, why are there so many CT - Knot So Fast references and was Jay being disrespectful towards CT in his confessionals? We also discuss why there was no face PPE, whether or not we think Jay could conceivably win a final, is Horacio foreshadowing Kyland going home, Moriah's code of silence, our thoughts on Emanuel baiting Kyland with an agreement, Rick's sleeper pick of the season and of course Melissa VS Ravyn in the club (0:00 - 43:13). After the break, we break down the nomination ceremony including why Asaf called Melissa out for her blow up, how we are feeling about Kyland after his hypocritical nominations speech, what was the point in renaming Pole Wrestle, 90's fashion coming back with a slap, why we don't agree with the general fandom's feelings about Kaycee and what we feel was Melissa's highest level of disrespect. Finally, we debate whether or not we think Kaycee gave every round her all, who we think would have won if Big T had gone against Melissa, Line of the Night, MVP's, which Mercenary is next, will TJ be throwing any wrenches into the situation and how do we truly feel about Kaycee giving Big T half of the $10,000 prize money she won. All this and more now on The Challenge Fandom Podcast! We hope you all enjoy this episode and are able to push past our audio issues! We promise to be back on our game next week!

This very special episode we also make a very special announcement of 2 brand new hosts we are adding to our team to help balance the dynamic a bit! Help us officially welcome Katie and Alexis to the Challenge Fandom Podcast Team! This week we kick off by welcoming our new additions to the podcast and throw it back a little with an old school style intro where we reminisce on old 90's TV shows that led us to where we are today. Then we break into the episode and discuss everything from Challengers spoiling this episode on twitter weeks ago, why we love Corey's messy game play, what our favorite team set ups in the daily were, how we feel about dirty play and do those who do it in the game ever really pay for it? We also discuss why we think Kyland went after Emanuel, what Horacio could have done to save his position with Emanuel, our thoughts on rival alliance hookups, and did Ed's agreement with Big T and Melissa really count? We also discuss who we think has the best game but can't control it, who has the best position in the game and Did Emanuel and Callum truly ignore Corey? (0:00 - 51:00). Last we discuss the messy nomination ceremony, whether Corey made a smart or dumb move, how we feel about rolling directly into eliminations from the nomination ceremony, what kind of person is Devin Walker in real life and why did he pick Callum? We also discuss who we thought he was going to pick, where Moriah messed up her situation with Bananas, how to improve this elimination to make it even more tense, Lines of the Night, MVPs and what's coming next on episode 8? All that and more now on The Challenge Fandom Podcast! We hope you all enjoy this episode!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable here on The Challenge Fandom Podcast with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and this week we have Katie back with us for another recap! We got together to break down our thoughts on MTV's The Challenge season 39 "Battle for a New Champion" episode 5 "Countdown to Chaos". We kick off the episode with our typical episode grade and rating for the title of the episode. Then we start breaking down Nurys and Jay's plans for what they think is to come, entering the Chaos level, how we feel about pairs being randomized, Corey Lay's strategy VS James' strategy in the daily challenge, TJ Lavin putting Corey and Ravyn on the spot, what we think Corey should have done in the moment and production breaks the illusion of TV for the drama?! Lastly we break into whether we prefer real or fake clubs on the show, why we don't get bus scenes anymore, how we are feeling about the Nurys and Horacio hookup, and what is up with Ciarran not knowing who Jordan is?! (0:00 - 54:12). In Part 2 we start by discussing our thoughts on the deliberation location, did Asaf screw himself similar to Chauncey and Jessica, how we feel about the draw, what we would have liked to see go down in this elimination, Jordan's IG video describing how the elimination actually went VS the edit we were shown, Emanuel turning his back on Jordan and so much more! We had such a great time with this breakdown and we hope you all enjoy it as much as we did!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick and Corrina. This week although we are missing half our team, you'll hardly notice with our fellow enthusiastic Challenge fan Katie who joined us for this special double recap! We kick off the episode by getting to know Katie a little and getting a feel for her position in the Fandom (0:00 - 10:00). Then we break into episode 3 of The Challenge 39 Battle for a New Champion. We discuss everything from whether or not we agree that James has scared people in the house, the US Alliance members making absolutely no sense, how in the world Ravyn could possibly think there would be no backlash for going against the house, Berna VS Melissa/Big T/Nurys and only God knows who else, house parties, bar scenes and did Rayvn help or hurt herself with her deliberation speech? We also discuss whether or not we think Nurys or Michele is the "face" of the show right now, our thoughts on the girl's burn votes, Corey's temptation to flip the house on the girls, TJ calling the cast out for playing scared, and of course, our final thoughts on this new elimination (0:00 - 1:06:18). In Part 2 of this episode we break down episode 4 starting with whether or not we buy that Ravyn was influenced by the ROD girls to choose JuJuy, a surprising pairing in the house, having timers VS actually believing productions on-screen timers, our thoughts on 1st place giving money to 2nd and/or 3rd place finalists, international money conversions, Big T's coming out celebration and how Callum was nearly caught... if Michele was actually paying attention. We also give our take on the Moriah and James situation-ship, what stood out to us at this deliberation, how much we love what Hughie did for Berna, whether or not we think Hughie could have had a better chance against someone else and of course why we love Kyland so much. We also discuss MVP's for both episodes, make predictions for when the Chaos section will actually begin, take guesses at what portion of the game will bring about the individual segment of this game and of course, are we looking at single or double eliminations when the Champion mercenaries do arrive? All this and more on this very special episode of The Challenge Fandom Podcast! Make sure you go follow Katie and show her business some love!

Hey Challenge Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit! This week your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony sat down with none other than the Challenge USA season 2 female champion Desi Williams! We were so excited to sit down with Desi once again but this time to talk all about her impeccable season on The Challenge USA2 and her redemption journey to being Champion! We talk about a variety of things such as whether or not Desi was ready to jump back into the Challenge after her tragic end on USA1, learning about veterans joining the game, behind the scenes stories on Chanelle's unaired social genius, Bananas' Saturday concerts, and did any of the cast even consider that they wouldn't be in teams the entirety of the season? We also break down all the poetic justice that happened effortlessly this season, Desi and Wes' falling out, how Desi truly felt about the mud wrestling daily, why the alliances changed so drastically from USA1 to USA2, how she felt being backstabbed by Tiffany and Michele, her alliance with Tori and Bananas and of course her opinion on Chris' messy gameplay all season (0:00 - 46:39), Next we break into why The Challenge is a better overall game than Survivor, how Desi feels about Danny McCray, and how she felt going into the final before they started. She also walks us through both days of the final including whether or not the boxes truly were heavy, whether or not she's ever thrown an axe before, was the shortcut and the regular trail clearly marked/separated, whether or not Michaela would have had a better shot had she just waited for a scale, how far ahead Desi was from Chanelle and why did Bananas love his Final Rock so much?! All this and more on this episode of Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit with Desi Williams.

We truly hope you all enjoy this final breakdown of USA2 with our female Champion.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh and Tony! This week we gathered to breakdown and discuss the most recent episode of MTV's The Challenge season 39 "Battle for a New Champion" episode 2 "Two Lungs, One Heart, Can't Lose". We kick off by grading the episode, discussing whether or not we really need 90 minute episode throughout the season, whether or not we think Jay or the women are running the house right now, what we think the biggest issue with not having Champions on a season is and was this daily too difficult? We also breakdown what this daily reminded Corrina of, is Chauncey not strong or was he too wet, why we think Chauncey and Hughie took the majority of the heat for the failure of the daily, and do we think a group of Champions could have completed this daily? Lastly we *attempt* to breakdown the messiness of house deliberations, why we think Nurys and Olivia are pushing Ravyn out of the Ride or Dies alliance, do we think the cast is considering possible format twists and of course, Kyland and Melissa (0:00 - 43:21). In the second part of the episode we break down Hughie's Winston Churchill speech, why Chauncey went the direction he went with his nomination speech, and the UK Men's plan to burn votes on each other in an attempt to avoid a game twist they weren't sure would pan out. We also break down all the votes, why we think Chauncey picked James, could Chauncey have had a better shot against someone else on the cast, the value of endurance VS the value of strategy, MVP's and what do we think about the plummeting ratings for this season? All this and more now available in this episode and don't forget, we're on YouTube now so if you'd like to watch a full live video come find us there!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony. This week we got together to talk all things Challenge 39: Battle For A New Champion and break down EP 0 and EP1. We kick off per usual by discussing the title and rating the foreshadowing of this particular episode. After that we do a quick rundown of EP00, discuss our thoughts on having an episode zero, how we feel about production keeping the fans in the dark about certain aspects of the game, break down the format, debate whether or not we like the idea of a single winner with "something" for second and third place, the option to earn more money throughout the season, the fact we are seeing the entire cast play as one instead of against each other and where is the "something" for second and third place really coming from?! Next we break down how we feel about having mercenaries on this particular season, Cierran being elected as leader, whether or not Berna was loud enough at the daily, what the cast should have done as far as the puzzle goes and how in the heck did Jay and Cierran actually make it out of the pit?! (0:00 - 42:00) In the second part of this episode, we break down Big T's alliance, who we would have been voting for based upon the edit, how production mislead us with the edit nearly the entire episode and who's speech was worse, Jessica or Jenn Lee? We also break down the voting process, how we feel about the man in the sand getting to call out an opponent of their choosing, whether or not you should EVER vote for yourself especially publicly, MVP's for the episode and how are we feeling about the possibilities for this season? (42:00 - END). All this and more on this episode of Challenge Fandom Podcast Trash Talk Roundtable. We hope you all enjoy this episode and don't forget we're on YouTube with full video now!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh and Tony! This week we have a very special guest joining us to help break down The Challenge USA2 Final, Danny McCray: former NFL player for the Dallas Cowboys, Survivor contestant and Challenge USA Champion! Danny was so kind to join us and discuss the final as well as some highlights from the season with us! We kick off the episode by discussing whether or not this is the best 4 female person final we have ever seen on The Challenge, where Danny says Chris' one big mistake happened, what would Danny's strategy be for the first checkpoint on day 1 of the final, thoughts on the penalty VS advantage breakdowns, what happened with Cory, which food item was best to skip over in the last checkpoint of day 1 and of course, the illustruous overnight challenge that we did not get to see (0:00 - 35:00). In the second part of the episode we discuss whether or not we think Faysal made a mistake or tried to cheat by taking the shortcut, whether or not waiting for a scale would have given Michaela a better shot, what bothered Danny most about the final, how easily this could have been an all Survivor final, and of course, is Chris now a contender for the best rookie season in the history of The Challenge? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below or by joining us on one of our social media platforms! Huge shout out to Danny for taking time away from his family and busy schedule to talk Challenge with us for a bit!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh and Tony. This week we are here to break down the upcoming cast for MTV's The Challenge season 39 titled "Battle For A New Champion". We kick off by breaking down the men's cast starting with Asaf Goren, Callum Izzard, Chauncey Palmer, Ciarran Stott, Corey Lay, Ed Eason, Emanuel Neagu, Horacio Gutierrez JR, Hughie Maughan, James Lock, Jay Starrett and Kyland Young. We also discuss whether or not we consider this Asaf's rookie season, how we think the international Challengers will fair against the most experienced veteran players of this game, do we think Chauncey can break away from S38 and make a name for himself, who we think is going to receive the "rookie treatment" this season, some male Challengers we would have rather seen on this season, casting for entertainment VS casting for competition, and of course who we are most and least excited to see back on our MTV screens. Next we break down the women on the cast beginning with Berna Canbeldek, "Big T" Fazakerley, Colleen Schneider, Jessica Brody, JuJuy Jimenez, Michele Fitzgerald, Melissa Reeves, Moriah Jadea, Nurys Mateo, Olivia Kaiser, Ravyn, Rochelle and Zara Zoffany. We discuss why we are worried about Big T, what makes us excited to see people like Jessica Brody on the cast, why we really didn't want the less experienced international players on a battle for a new champion season, why Michele could be set up well or terrible depending on how she approaches the game, where we think a particular fan favorite actually lacks in the game, and did Zara pick up any tips and tricks from Wes on World Championship besides *always do the pre-puzzle*?! Lastly we discuss why we think the cast is so small, what we think the chances are for a redemption house, make our finalist and winner predictions, discuss the mercenaries that will be joining the game at some point this season and does Kaz deserve to be there as a mercenary? Listen in now and then let us know your thoughts below in the comments, on YouTube or on Instagram/FB! We look forward to hearing your thoughts!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick and Corrina. This week we are joined by a very special guest to break down this last episode of the regular season along with this double elimination - none other than the co-host of The Zach Nichols Podcast, Pierre! You all know him, you all love him and we're here to breakdown and recap CBS's The Challenge USA season 2 episode 13 "The Treason for the Season"! We kick off the episode discussing our overall thoughts of the episode and why we were most disappointed and then debating where Cassidy's rookie season ranks amongst those of the greatest. We also discuss whether avoiding elimination is good or bad gameplay, what we think Josh (and a lot of other Challengers) biggest social game flaw is, our thoughts on Josh needing this money for his family, whether or not Chanelle has earned her spot in TJ's final, what happened with Michaela's time and how to fix this horrendously ran daily challenge, how nominations might have changed had Tori won the daily, and under what circumstances do we think Josh could both finish and WIN a final? (0:00 - 36:15). Last we break into the nomination ceremony and discuss why this was the perfect time for Chris to take his revenge on Faysal, our thoughts on Josh swearing on his deceased family members and what he should have done instead, the Tori/Cory/Faysal deal and is Faysal incapable of separating the game from real life or was he just gaslighting and manipulating Josh? We also discuss why we think Faysal was so scared to go into a physical elimination against Cory but says he could beat CT in a Hall Brawl, whether or not bigger equals winner in Hall Brawl and why in the world does Josh always tell on himself?! Lastly we discuss how we feel about the possibility of The Hopper returning in future seasons, Bananas reaction to Tori announcing she had to vote for Josh, how quickly The Challenge Gods worked their Karma on this night, why we think Cory would have ultimately lost this elimination had he been pulled from The Hopper, how we would have changed the puzzle addition to the elimination plus Rick gives us some insider information coming from a former Challenger who told us why Hall Brawl is being changed so drastically lately. Also, did Faysal hold back because it was Josh or did he underestimate Josh's ability in the hall? Would we like to see Cassidy return on another season? What don't we want to see in the final and, of course, who does Pierre want to see win this season PLUS Pierre makes an announcement about an upcoming interview on his podcast! (36:15 - END). Check it all out and make sure you go follow Pierre, GOHT Media and The Zach Nichols Podcast!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony! We are back this week to break down the most recent episode of The Challenge USA 2 EP 12 "Revenge Amongst The Ruins". We kick off the episode by discussing our new recording equipment and programs, reviewing how Tony's first couple of Survivor 45 recap recordings with The Challenge Historian went, what the real reason is that we stopped doing Survivor recaps, what truly is grinding Rick's gears, and just how messy can Michele get?! (0:00 - 13:08). Then we break into the episode and debate a variety of topics such as: Why didn't Michele lie and could she have gotten away with it, why did Chris go along with Michaela's plan to vote Tori, would Cassidy have a chance against the women left in a physical elimination, was Tori Deal justified in her confrontation of Desi and Michaela, whether or not we think Chanelle and Desi should have come clean the way they did, is Michaela really having a perfect rookie season, will Josh make it to his first final this season, was it betrayal what Michaela did to Bananas in the daily challenge, was Chris smart to stop at five pieces and try to regroup, and lastly, what did we think of this style of puzzle? (13:05 - 50:42). For the last segment of the recap we break down things like Michele confronting Michaela and who truly won this argument, whether or not Michaela was wrong for not being accountable for her part in Tori's name being thrown around, would Michele have been better off just voting for Tori, is Bananas getting too old and why is Desi set on trying to beat Tori in the final? Lastly we break down why we think Chris ultimately chose Josh over Faysal, what we think of Cory's assessment of the nominations, whether or not Cassidy has a real chance to win this final, our thoughts on making it a whole season without going into an elimination, whether or not we think Cassidy is playing with the right mindset in this game, how dangerous Imposter Syndrome truly is, the ridiculous elimination with absolutely no strategy and what we would have done differently, why we think the eliminations this season have mainly been non-TV friendly, who we want to see in the Hall Brawl elimination next episode, our MVPs and a fun show where a well known Challenge and Survivor winner will feature!

If you haven't joined us on YouTube to watch our episodes in full video FOR FREE, what are you waiting for?! We promise our jokes will make more sense this way!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh and Tony. This week we are here to break down The Challenge USA season 2 episode 11 "Slippery Business" and things sure did get slippery! We kick off the episode by celebrating the birth of Wes Bergmann's little girl Lucy Jean, discussing our thoughts on the trailer for MTV's The Challenge season 39 Battle for a New Champion, Tony's new adventure with our friend The Challenge Historian where they will be discussing Survivor (AKA Survivor Historian), and we even have a very special shout out for this week (0:00 - 16:53). Next we dive into the first half of this episode and discuss our overall views of the episode, how much we are enjoying Chris this season, whether or not we think Cory has the right approach to his plans for the final, how can you combat the differing viewpoints of who is best for the final between the male and female daily winners, why Faysal went for Josh in the daily, whether or not the blatant targeting of Chris in the oil pit was really playing dirty, and was Michaela truly justified in her actions while under the influence of adrenaline and oil? (16:53 - 45:04). After the much needed break, we breakdown the second half debating whether or not it would have been the right move for Michaela to make Tori the main vote, whether or not it's too late to get Tori out of this game, the compromise at the nomination table between Cory and Michaela, whether or not Michaela will receive repercussions for throwing out Tori's name at the nomination table and is Michele the best kind of girlfriend you could hope for in a party situation?! We also break down why the guys would want a guys day and the girls would want a girls day, Cassidy's confrontation with Michaela about her moves in the house, whether or not we think Michaela is a good or bad player for The Challenge, which Survivor girl is playing the best overall game and did Michele put herself in a position to which she cannot come back from? We close out by breaking down the varying elimination strategies by Tyler and Chris, whether or not we are ready to give our "Best Rookie Season" to another Challenger, our Line of the Night, MVP's, finalist picks and some information regarding our cast breakdown for MTV's The Challenge season 39 (45:04 - END).

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Cory! This week we are here to break down The Challenge USA EP10 "A Less Perfect Union". We start off by welcoming back Cory after his long break from the podcast, discuss what it would be like doing Big Brother or Survivor, we discuss Jacob (The Challenge Historian) and Tony's new podcast segment where they will be covering Survivor, the cast of Traitors plus our thoughts on the coming season and last but certainly not least, Cory gives us all a BIG SURPRISE!!! (0:00 - 14:00). Then we break into the episode with our 30,000 foot view of the episode, Death Taxes and Bananas releasing their episode early, and the Survivor girls meeting with Chris. We debate on how Chris might survive, the foreshadowing of Josh and Wes both wanting to make it to the final and why is Wes more terrifying to these cast members than Bananas, Cory or Faysal? Next we discuss the daily and break down our favorite dirty moves made by TJ himself, discuss our thoughts on Chanelle's overall performance, Michaela overcoming her fears to win the daily, Tori cheering on Michaela after losing to her, whether or not we believe rumors that Desi gave the win to Michaela, and what's up with Wes's terrible gameplay these last few seasons (14:00 - 59:00). After the break, we reconvening to discuss Michaela considering putting Tori up as a target, what would happen if Tori did get put up as the main nomination, when we think the Survivor girls are going to turn on each other, Michaela getting gameplay advice from Faysal, why Faysal would have been okay with targeting Tori, and what if Chris pulls another Survivor?! We close out the show discussing Josh's blindside of Wes, why Cassidy is refusing to stray from the Survivor girls, how in the world TJ is lucky enough to pull exactly one man and one woman from the Hopper, why we were disappointed with some of the strategy of the elimination, whether or not Josh was right in being honest with Wes on the spot, Cassidy calling out the "strong girls alliance" and of course, do we think Wes is really retiring this time?

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony. This week we are back with another recap of The Challenge USA season 2 where we are going to be breaking down episode 9 "Enemy of the State". If you prefer to watch our ugly faces, make sure you go check out our YouTube for a full video version!

We kick off the episode by discussing the changes we had to make to continue on with our journey towards being a full video podcast while also discussing our overall thoughts on episode 9 as well as when the last time we saw a Survivor go home on any version of The Challenge (0:00 - 6:40). Then we break into the episode and discuss why this episode title sounds so familiar, the horrendous foreshadowing of this episode, how shocked we were to see Chris is on the cast, the wild fact that Michaela confronts Chris about his shady alliances right in the middle of the house, and what we think Chris should have done when talking to Michaela. We also discuss what it entails to be in an alliance/have an agreement with someone in the house, whether or not Chris is being treated a little unfairly and why is Fessy suddenly so protective over his Big Brother allies? Also, a breakdown of the daily challenge, our thoughts on cheating/sharing in dailies, how CBS is upgrading The Challenge to be more fair between competitors of different sizes and genders, who we would have liked to see make it through to round two of the daily, how production always does themselves dirty and what we want to see from them to save this season. We also discuss why we were shocked at round 2 of the daily challenge, the unavoidable injuries sustained, why Michele continues to disappoint us, who we were most shocked to see struggle on this daily and Fessy's incredible strategy leading him to his first daily win of the season (6:40 - 36:16). After the break, we return to discuss how everyone's inner monologue has become an outer monologue on this episode, Bananas continued overconfidence in fellow veteran Challengers, Fessy's plan and execution, where Fessy slipped up that may come back to bite him in the butt later, whether or not we think Fessy would actually have the guts to throw Bananas into elimination, why we liked the end result of nominations, why we are so over Cassidy's fits, when it's okay to go back on promises you made in the house and do the top Survivor girls trust Michele and Cassidy the way they trust each other? We also discuss why Sebastian going hard in the paint was the worst thing he could do at this point in his game, Chris overplaying his hand and what we think he should have done instead, the truth behind Chris's game on Survivor Edge of Extinction, why confrontations were happening left and right and of course, Michaela's superior confessionals. To close out the show we break down the Dude Perfect themed elimination, who we think voted for Bananas, whether or not we think the varying strategies for the elimination really made a difference, Sebastian's big mistake, how we think Chris will need to move forward in this game to perhaps save himself, a hilarious story we caught on The Official Challenge Fandom Podcast regarding Tori, Sebastian and TJ as well as our overall thoughts on Sebastian and our MVPs (36:16 - END). We had a great time breaking down this episode and we hope you all enjoy it too! Don't forget to follow us on YouTube and IG if you haven't already!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back to another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh and Tony! This week we are back to single episodes and marking the halfway point of the season with our special mid-season guest, Alex Brizard of Netflix's The Circle and Two Dudes Watch Cartoons podcast. We are also celebrating our official 2 year anniversary with a very special upgrade to our podcast... we are officially a FULL VIDEO PODCAST! That's right, if you prefer to stare at our faces while we talk about The Challenge, you can go to YouTube the day after our audio podcast releases to watch the full version FOR FREE anytime you'd like! This will apply to our Unplugged episodes as well so make sure you come follow us on YouTube and check out the new podcast upgrade! Please remember to be patient with us. We've always said we are going to learn as we go with you guys, so we ask for grace while we figure out video editing, proper cameras etc. Anyway... we kick off this recap by discussing our new attempt at video (plus, have a laugh at the green alien versions of Rick and Corrina in the first 10 minutes). Then we break into our overall feelings on the season format, debate The Hopper VS Skulls and discuss the entertainment level of this season (0:00 - 17:10). In the first part of the recap, we discuss whether we like teams or individual more, how Amazing Race is always done dirty, Big Brother numbers dwindling and why we love The Survivor girls. Then we begin breaking down the Bananas and Michaela agreement, the different strategies for the daily challenge, whether or not it would have been better to work as a team or individuals for the daily and even point out that this is the same cave some of these Challengers have already competed in! We also discuss post production issues we are having along with our thoughts on this old version of Tori that seems to be resurfacing on this episode (17:10 - 1:11:55). After the break, we dive into the Survivor and Challenge Veteran alliance, who we'd like to see go over to the flagship, who we are missing from the cast this season, our evidence that taking a break is a positive for these Challengers, and the dangers VS benefits of burning votes, especially in this type of format. Next we break down Tori and Bananas nominations, why we're upset Tori and Sebastian got to stay behind from the club, why club scenes are so important, Alyssa Snider targeting Tori's boo, what we think would have happened had Alyssa succeeded in getting Sebastian voted in, whether or not production actually listens to fan's gripes about the show, how in the world Bananas and Tori had completely matching outfits for the elimination and the different strategies used for this elimination by Tyler and Monte. We close out by discussing TJ's varying goodbyes and what they mean, whether or not we think this season is set up for Faysal to win, TJ's "get ready" comment at the end of the episode, MVP's for the episode and our final picks for this season (1:11:55 - 2:42:00). We had such a great time with this mid season recap with Alex Brizard and we hope you all enjoy this episode! Remember to go check out our YouTube and support our new move to full video!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable with your OG Hosts Rick, Corrina and Josh. This week we take it back in time to when we first started and break down this double episode series of The Challenge USA season 2 in the only way we know how: by making fun of it all! We kick off with a little ted-talk rant by Rick, discuss how we feel about this season's string of odd episode titles and break down the random blow up between Dusty and Tiffany. We also discuss Wes calling home, the trivia daily challenge plus what we didn't really enjoy about it. Next we break into Wes's political campaign, Tori and Bananas conceding to the rookies on their team during nominations, Cassidy telling Wes he needs a taste of his own medicine, Wes breaking down with Bananas and Dusty at his side and why we think Wes is so blind to what's actually happening politically in the house. Finally we dive into the votes and hopper choice, the varying elimination strategies, fishy workings by production and what we think really happened during Wes and Dusty's elimination (0:00 - 41:43). After our AD break (and our fumble into giggles as a team), we break into episode 7 by discussing yet another terribly titled episode, Wes's out of character speech for fairness in the game, Wes and Cassidy calling a ceasefire on each other, what we think of Wes and Michaela's relationship plus why is she so upset with him?! Then we break into yet another horribly executed daily challenge and discuss why we think this daily was oddly placed in mid season and why was Michele in charge of yet another puzzle for team Red Flag?! After that we break down Tiffany's mental crack, our thoughts on Michaela, Josh and Fessy's Big Brother plan, Tyler accepting being a pawn without any fight back and why the heck are men targeting strong females in the game?! We also discuss an overconfident Bananas, Alyssa S being willing to make it a girl's day in order to save Tyler, Michaela confronting Josh, Desi and Chanelle catching onto Michele's fishy political game, the Drunk Uncles Bananas and Wes and how awkward was the middle school scene at the bar? Lastly we break down the elimination votes, the hopper pick and why we love Tiffany so much! Plus, Tiffany's speech to the men on the cast, why we think TJ was attempting to pump up the crowd into cheering during this elimination, and finally, the twist we've all been expecting all season: the cast is moving into individual format so we discuss how we think this could effect things going forward and make predictions for how the daily winners and nominations/voting will carry on moving forward (41:43 - END). We hope you all enjoy this fun throwback to our original host team for our last double recap of this season! Make sure you tune in next week for the first episode of the season's twist where we will have Alex Brizard joining us to breakdown the first half of the season!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony. This week we are back with another double episode recap and we have a VERY special guest joining us! Owner of GOHT Media and co-host of The Zach Nichols Podcast, we welcome Pierre for this massive collab! We kick off the episode by discussing the start of GOHT Media as well as The Zach Nichols Podcast, how we feel about cast members being fans of the show, edits VS real people, the start of Pierre's Challenge Fandom, how he is so close to Zach Nichols, what types of changes we would all like to see on the casting floor and finally, Pierre gives his 4 male MT Rushmore players (0:00 - 33:30). Next we break into recapping episode 4 of The Challenge USA season 2 by discussing our thoughts on Bananas defecting to Blue team, how we felt about him reading Dusty's love letter in his confessional, Josh taking over running the house politically, Desi's big struggle, and our thoughts on this random confessional cam. Then we break into the daily discussing situations such as Michele VS Amanda, Cory VS Chris, Michaela VS Cassidy and ending with our thoughts on Blue Team's deal with Red as well as the encounter between Michaela and Tori on the truck. We also discuss the strategies for voting, Josh completely flipping the Red team's nominations on it's head, how we feel about stalemating for alliance members, thoughts on Michele's gameplay, and then Desi's mastermind plan to get Amanda in the sand with her. Finally, we discuss the truth about how this elimination went down, whether or not we think Amanda did well in this elimination or just did the bare minimum, and the potential blow back from Chris and Desi's defect decisions (33:30 - 1:48:15). After our AD break, we discuss episode 5, breaking in with Chris VS Monte and Tyler in the kitchen, how we feel about people complaining about being voted into elimination, and whether or not Desi made the right choice to blindside Wes. We discuss our thoughts on this daily challenge, the different strategies each team took and Blue team's big mistake. Next we break into the nomination drama where Dusty somehow gets grouped in with the Challenge vets, Wes VS Michaela in the Green team nominations, whether or not we think Michaela made the Survivor target even bigger, Cassidy taking Wes's previous nomination personally, our thoughts on the Bachelor contest at the nightclub and why the hell is Bananas still here?! Lastly we break down the Hat Trick Operation by the vets, what we are all missing from the Hopper pull, Cassidy VS Alyssa Lopez, why overconfidence and false bravado doesn't bother Corrina as much as others, Blue team's moral after Cassidy's defect decision and finally close out with Pierre's 4 women MT Rushmore Challengers (1:48:15 - END). We had such an incredible time with Pierre of GOHT Media and The Zach Nichols Podcast, we hope you all enjoy this collaboration as much as we did!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable where your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony break down the most recent episode(s) of The Challenge. This week we are doing a double recap for episodes 2 and 3 of The Challenge USA season 2 and we have a very special guest! Returning for his second time on our show, Talik Monroe from Mental Health Check-in podcast is with us and we're ready to discuss the good, the bad, the ugly and the funny of this week's double episode run of The Challenge USA 2. We kick off by skipping our normal BS intro and dive right into recapping episode 2 "Blurred Battle Lines. We discuss our feelings on these double episode, the defect twist for the winner of the elim, Amanda's insanely fake drama outbursts, and you even get to hear Corrina be so wrong yet so confident it makes you wonder if maybe she really is right. We also discuss what we imagine training would be like for Michele and Ameerah's elimination round, what we think about Jonna's game style switch up plus what her biggest mistake was, the development of the Secret Garden alliance and how we feel about the rookies running the vets out of this game. Last we breakdown the daily, Tori buttering up Amanda, what Rick is missing most from this season, Desi standing her ground against one of the most decorated and experienced veterans of the game, Tiffany dropping a burn vote to save her relationship with Jonna, full contact Plinko elimination and what we think would have happened if Tori had defected.... to Amanda's spot (0:00 - 1:03:06). For episode 3 we kick off with some better episode titles that we feel would have suited the episode better than "Civil War" plus we give our thoughts on some of the random allegiances that are occurring and we discuss how much our views of Paulie Calafiore have changed with this season. Then we break down the daily (per usual) and discuss where red messed up, why blue's strategy was the most effective, Michele cracking under pressure while Paulie leads the red team, Amanda riding the backs of people far superior to her (per usual) and why in the heck can't team Green figure out how to distribute their weight to properly capsize this boat?! Last we dive into Alyssa Lopez's incredible strategy to take control of Cory's vote, run the nominations for team Blue to ensure vets continue to get put in and completely decimating every fan out there with her comments to Tori Deal. Finally, we break down Johnny Banana's toddler temper tantrum, Amanda's big mistake, Paulie getting called into an elimination against Bananas that is eerily similar to the last elimination they did against each other plus what we thought of Paulie's exit, our predictions for whether or not Bananas will defect on the next episode and of course we give our "Line of the Night", "Best Confessional-ist" and "MVP"s. We hope you all enjoy this double recap as much as we enjoyed recording it. Big shout outs to our guest this week for sticking around to have some fun with us! Make sure yall go check out his podcast and support his mental health movement!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Cory! This week, The Challenge USA season 2 premiered so we are BACK on our normal grind recapping episodes. We kick off the episode catching up a little bit but mainly talking about our overarching thoughts on the premier episode and the format for the game (0:00 - 7:50). Then we break into the recap by discussing our thoughts on the intro including how we feel about having fellow fans compete on the show, Paulie's return (and intriguing outfit choices), foreshadowing of the episode, and what was going on with those voiceovers in the preview for the season?! We also discuss our thoughts on the Hopper, how the team captains were chosen, draft order and what we think the real reason that Josh didn't draft Bananas was. Next we break down the daily including Ameerah not helping her team carry the statue, the cart crash where we almost got a squished Banana and even team Blue almost dropping their statue on TJ's head (7:50 - 47:50). Lastly we deep dive into the nomination process, the Blue and Red team alliance, Jonna changing up her game style from All Stars and who we really blame for the same thing happening over and over again every season. We wrap it up by discussing what we loved most about this episode, where we think they went wrong with the cliffhanger, what our "Line of the Night" was and we even created a new award called "Best Confessional-ist Giver" and of course we award that as well amongst a bunch of other predictions for how they might add a twist later on in the game! Overall we enjoyed this premier episode and we enjoyed being back in action recapping together and we hope you all enjoy it too.

Make sure you go check out the teams we drafted on IG and let us know who's team you like most!

Then we move into breaking down the cast starting with the two Amazing Racers Luis Colon and Dusty Harris. Next we move onto Survivor and discuss Cassidy Clark, Chanelle Howell, Sebastian Noel (AKA Seabass), Chris Underwood and Desi Williams.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony, Josh and Cory! That's right, we have a full house on this one! Fair warning: We recorded this episode approximately 6 weeks ago. Since then one of the girls we talked about on this episode made some choices that have been very controversial amongst the fanbase so to avoid becoming involved in something we have nothing to do with, we have chosen to omit that person's name from this podcast. Other than that, we hope you all really enjoy this one as this will be our last Roundtable discussion episode of this long break before we get back to recapping as USA2 is about to start! But we're not here to talk about USA 2. Today we sat down to discuss which rookies we would want to see back. To give ourselves a Challenge, we decided to only look at players who appeared on 2 seasons or less, did not win a final and appeared somewhere between season 20 and season 35. But before we break into the Rookie talk, we break down some of our predictions for the next year, what we think is going to happen with the worlds/international versions of The Challenge and Cory tells us just how bad his road rage is (0:00 - 17:00). Then we talk about the girls first discussing a variety of people from Georgia Harrison, Da'Vonne Rogers, Devyn Simone, Briana LaCuesta, Heather Cooke, Alicia Wright, Faith Stowers, Bayleigh Dayton and more. We also break down our top 3 for the men and discuss Challengers such as ASAF, Isaac Stout, Ashley Cain, Mike Ross, Victor Arroyo, Marlon Williams, CJ Koegel, Brandon Swift and more (17:00 - 1:15:30). Last, we have a debate to figure out what the official top 3 girls and top 3 guys are going to be for The Challenge Fandom Podcast official Rookies We Want Back list!

We've had such a great time with you all during this break and we hope we've kept you entertained and laughing during this long wait for more Challenge. The next time you hear from us, we will be breaking down the USA 2 cast and giving our predictions! If you haven't yet, make sure you enter our IG 5K Followers Cameo Giveaway on IG and if you know the answer to the question Rick asks around the intro to this podcast, you can message the answer to our IG page for an extra entry!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged where your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Josh take you beyond the edit with some of your favorite Challengers and reality stars. This week we have a very special guest joining us all the way from Australia, Troy Cullen! Troy was such a joy to have on and learn more about his life and his approach to these games. We start out with the basics like where he was born and raised, what he wanted to be when he was younger, his passions as a child, history as a reality TV fan for shows like Ninja Warrior and The Challenge as well as how he got on Ninja Warrior. We dive deep into his two appearances on Ninja Warrior including the alliances he had, the bet he made for his second appearance and what he learned about himself overall. Troy shares his experience of crossing over onto The Challenge Australia including some behind the scenes info on the alliance breakdown, what really went down with him, Kiki and Emily, BBQ fight night, the infamous pole wrestle moving straight into the Australian final and what he did with his Australian winnings! Then we break into World Championship and discuss his time with Amber Borzatra, being the only one to know she was pregnant and having to keep it a secret for months, what he thinks about the Fandom's opinion on Kaycee's personality, what he would have changed about his game, which partners he wanted the most, who he would pick if he could go back and do it again, his Hall Brawl with Yes and then running the final with Kaycee. Troy shares so much behind the scenes moments and information including what was really going on with Kaycee during the World Championship final and a few unaired moments including a steamy hookup in the back of the bus which caused a GoPro to be put on all future bus rides plus so much more! Troy truly shared so much of his life, thoughts and opinions with us and we couldn't be more grateful to have had this chance to get to know Troy better. We hope you all enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed doing it.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challenges Unplugged: Beyond The Edit where your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony take you beyond the edit with some of your favorite (and least favorite) Challengers from MTV's The Challenge to get their side of the story. This week we have a very special guest returning for her second round with us, Jodi Weatherton. We start out by catching up together, venting about the downfall of internet and getting hyped up for Jodi PLUS she joins us a little early and we have a hilarious encounter trying to get everyone set up right (0:00 - 11:15). Then, we start breaking down MTV's The Challenge World Championship with Jodi including whether or not she knew the theme of the season, how her husband reacted to her getting the casting call, which MVP she would have picked had it been her decision, the real reason Tristan came in last on the qualifier and the current status of her and Benja's relationship. She talks to us about her approach for the two to three day period where they got to know each other before choosing partners, her personal reaction to Benja picking her (as well as TJ's reaction), who the most protected teams were on the season, which Challenger was playing the most hypocritical game, different voting strategies at the nomination table and how the her last elimination with Benja went completely wrong. We also talk to Jodi about how the language barrier effected her partnership, play style preferences, the strange reasoning behind Yes voting Jodi/Benja in after the first daily, her alliance with Jonna, Jodi's special barometer she used against Yes (BTS), which new friends were the most unexpected, how she recharges in the Challenge house and how she felt they got so screwed over in the Trivia challenge. Finally, she talks about the one thing she would change about her game, the crazy story of her trying to call her son for his birthday after being eliminated, her relationship with Theo, Kellyanne trying to get Jodi to vote with Bananas, seeing Wes after 17 years, which Challenger she'd love to play with again, ranking the GOATS that appeared on World Championship with her and so much more! Jodi was such an incredible guest with so much to say and she didn't hold back AT ALL! We hope you all enjoy this episode and all the piping hot tea Jodi spills just as much as we loved it!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Josh. This week we have a very special topic so we had to bring a very special guest to help us break it all down and we could think of no one better for this topic than The Challenge Historian, Jacob Hollabaugh. We start off by discussing some important Challenge topics such as the advancement of The Challenge channel on Pluto TV, how the show would be different if they hadn't stopped doing live audiences, our ideas for how production could actually do a live airing season, what we hope to see as far as cast rotation with the recent show expansion and even break down which Challengers started the trend of making this show a career and trust us, it's not who you think (0:00 - 25:25). Next we break into the episode by discussing our format, specifications that helped us make our lists, and begin breaking down the most influential male Challengers who majorly impacted the show, gameplay and/or fans. We discuss a variety of players including people like Chris Tamburello, Alton Williams, Brad Fiorenza, Derrick Kosinski, Darrell Taylor, Syrus Yarborough, Ace Amerson, Dan Setzler, Eric Nies, Mark Long, Timmy Beggy, Miz Mizanin, Theo Von, Dan Renzi and more (25:30 - 2:00:00). Then we finish up the episode by analyzing the most impactful female Challengers from the early seasons where we discuss the likes of Jodi Weatherton, Katie Cooley, Sarah Greyson, Holly Shand, Jullie Stoffer, Susie Meister, Ayanna Mackins, Aneesa Ferriera, Tina Bridges, Rachel Robinson, Veronica Portillo, Coral Smith and many more (2:00:00 - END). We had such an AMAZING time taking a trip down the MTV Real World VS Road Rules: The Challenge memory lane and highlighting some of the most influential and impactful players that made the game we all love today what it is. We hope you all enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit. Your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Josh are joined this week by a very special guest and someone we have been dying to talk to - Nelson Thomas! We start out with a very short intro because Nelly is PROMPT (0:00 - 3:30). When Nelson joins us we start out by covering his early life such as where he was born/raised, what his childhood was like, what kinds of athletics he was involved with as a child, his struggles as a young kid in LA, moving to Texas, graduating high school and what his first reality show truly was! We cover everything from his AYTO audition to his history as a Challenge fan and how he found himself on this wild show we all love so much. We get Nelson's thoughts on things like the audience helping Challengers in an elimination, what it's like to try and start a career after being on TV, his favorite country he's been to, TMZ running the false story about him, the evolution of his and Cory Wharton's friendship and the start of TYB. Nelson walks us through living in the shelter on Invasions, losing the final by 2 minutes and 22 seconds, why his rivalries tend to end so quickly, what really happened with Fessy, how things went down with Cory and Shane on Invasions and how he feels finals have changed over the years. We also cover some beyond The Challenge moments such as him volunteering to go into elimination to save Cory on Total Madness, his moment with TJ Lavin in the Spies Lies and Allies final and how he feels about the major expansion of The Challenge. Nelson talks to us about what a rookie is on The Challenge, how he felt about Amber Borzotra's status in the game, why he chose Nurys as his ROD partner, how him and Ashley Mitchell ended up as a kind-of-sort-of thing on Spies Lies and Allies and even shares what was really going on during World Championship and how he felt about being called to be a Legend. Nelson also discusses random topics with us such as reuniting with Kailah after their previous encounter, "Nelsonisms", how social media ruins lives and of course we discuss his recovery from his recent car accident. Nelson shares so much of his story with us and allowed himself to be open and vulnerable with him. We could never properly thank him for that.

We hope you all enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed it. If you'd like to show your love and support for Nelson throughout his recovery journey, you can reach out to him on social media platforms or through his po box at: P.O Box 82336 Austin TX, 78708

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony, Josh and Cory! Yup, that's right we've got a full house tonight and it was for a very special reason! We all got together to finalize an official Challenge Fandom Podcast Mount Rushmore list for men and women! We kick off the episode by catching up as Rick tells us his heroic story. Then we break into what our plans are for formatting this episode, how we are missing out on Hogwarts Legacy and whether or not we'd ever pay for our IG to be verified (0:00 - 16:35). Then we break into the women's Mount Rushmore first. We decided to present a list of 12 names and then debate them down until we have a final 4 at which point we will number them and finalize our team's Mount Rushmore. For the women we discuss the following people: Susie Meister, Emily Schromm, Jodi Weatherton, Jonna Mannion, Tori Deal, Paula Meronek, Veronica Portillo, Ashley Mitchell, Sarah Rice, Evelyn Smith, Laurel Stucky and Cara Maria Sorbello (16:35 - 1:46:00). Finally we break into the Men's Mount Rushmore which seemed to be much easier to agree on but still provided a lot of interesting debates and is sure to upset some of the fans (sorry). The men that we discussed are: Tyler Duckworth, Brad Fiorenza, Turbo Camkiran, Mark Long, Derrick Kosinski, Landon Leuck, Darrell Taylor, Wes Bergmann, Jordan Wiseley, Johnny 'Bananas' Devenanzio, and Chris 'CT' Tamburello (1:46:00 - END).

We really hope you all enjoy this debate and remember, if you'd like to discuss your thoughts on our final list our IG inbox is always open! However, if you're upset and want a fight, make sure you message the host that upset you the most directly LOL!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged where your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony take you beyond the edit with a Challenger from MTV's The Challenge. This week we are joined by Ben Driebergen from Survivor 35, Survivor 40, The Challenge USA and Challenge World Championship all airing on CBS and Paramount Plus. We start off by catching up with Ben about "Benzo", Cinco dancing to W.A.P., building choppers in Reno and Marijuana legalization plus it's benefits (0:00 - 14:10). We then jump into Ben's early life with what it was like growing up in Boise, his father coming out as gay man plus the evolution of their relationship to get to where they are now, plus what his dreams were as a kid and what made him want to join the military. Next, Ben breaks down some of his active military training and active duty stories including his very first fire fight and a time where he was put in a position to make a decision on a life he knew nothing about. We also talk about how he met his wife, his history as a reality TV fan, other shows he applied to be on and finally his breakthrough into Survivor. Our co-host Tony takes us on a journey with Ben through both of his Survivor seasons including his surprising win on Heroes VS Healers VS Hustlers and then returning for one of the most anticipated themed seasons of Survivor - Winners At War. Ben gives us details on the alliance workings on his first season and going to fire that ultimately led to his win. He also goes into depth on what happened on Winners At War between him and Sarah and how that effected his game moving forward on The Challenge USA and The Challenge World Championship (14:10 - 1:33:00). Ben talks about why he thinks it's important to make friends in The Challenge house, the difference between a Survivor social game and a Challenge social game plus what his top partner picks were on World Championship, how The Misfits alliance came to be, what happened with "Survivor Strong" on Challenge USA and World Championship, getting another physical DQ on the show, why he felt Sarah was disingenuous on World Championship and finally we finish it off with some MT Rushmore lists as well as some Survivors Ben would like to see do The Challenge and vice versa.

We had such an incredible time with Ben and he was so open, honest, vulnerable and respectful. We honestly couldn't have asked for more from Ben and we hope you all enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Josh come together and sit down with former Dallas Cowboy's player and reigning Challenge USA Champion Danny McCray to break down the entire season of The Challenge World Championship. We kick off the episode by discussion why we are so excited to talk to Danny, some burning questions we have and some things we heard on other interviews/Instagram story AMAs (0:00 - 14:16). Then, we break into the season with Danny by first going over what the MVP's originally thought when the legends entered the game, what the conversations on the first night were like, who Danny's top 3 girls were (and why) and the highly controversial Gates of Hell daily. We also break down Danny's relationship with Jordan and Tori, how the relationships were misrepresented in the edit, and the truth behind Kellyanne's master move. Danny also breaks down how the alliances fell through the season including the White Board Alliance, why/when he decided to stop targeting Jordan, what really went down with Ben Driebergen, a suspected twist that didn't end up happening but caused a lot of issues amongst partners, whether or not Danny would have ever thrown in Sarah/Theo or Emily/Yes and why he wanted Tori to pick a number one SO bad. We also have Danny break down the nomination process and whether or not he was ever truly worried about Sarah putting him in (14:16 - 1:31:00). Lastly, we finish up the Unplugged with Danny's thoughts on the final elimination, which three teams Danny truly wanted in the final, how much weight he lost throughout the season and a beautiful section of praise for Jordan as a person and competitor. Danny then proceeds to break down the entire final from start to finish including points of the final the fans didn't even get to see, Danny/Tori's biggest day one mistake, the truth behind the Insomnia overnight Challenge, Danny's biggest mistake from the overnight portion, and finally, his frustrations with Tori's decisions during the final. We close out the episode by discussion various things such as Danny's thoughts on Troy, the truth behind Banatman's cape in the club outfit, who has the bigger personality out of Wes and Tyson, changes to Danny's MT Rushmore, who from Survivor he would love to see on a Battle of the Shows format, thoughts on Horacio and his Balls In elimination against Jordan on season 38 and finally, Danny gives us a pep talk about our attack on Sarah Lacina this season and puts us in our place (as needed) (1:31:00 - END)! This is by far the most in-depth Unplugged session we have done after a season and we truly hope that between us and Danny, your questions and concerns about the season are put to rest.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Josh! This week we kept it OG to close out this season of The Challenge World Championship. We kick off with Rick giving us some voice acting while we talk about Challengers we love now but it didn't start out that way. Then, Rick and Corrina tell a story about Rick's riskiest moment before breaking into things we've seen online about the Fandom's reaction to the final (0:00 - 14:16). Next, we break into The Fear Express and I guess, sleeping? Also, a missing waterfall climb along with multiple missing puzzles? They really didn't want us to see this whole final did they?! I digress. We break down Loops of Hell challenge including Theo's injury, the highly debated code breaker puzzle, which team had the best approach on the loops, whether or not eating challenges are necessary, overnight IV's and the dirtiest player in the game (14:16 - 1:00:16). Next up we talk about how hard it is riding a bike, what we think the cameramen are missing, and what is with all these keys?! Did the producers of The Challenge rob a janitor in their sleep?! Next up we finish up the end of this *absolutely grueling* final with a discussion on the winners VS our original predictions, whether or not this win for Jordan moves him up our list on MT Rushmore, overarching thoughts on the season as a whole, our plans moving forward with the upcoming break and finally, Tony gives us an AMAZING update on his fundraiser for The Walk For Alzheimer's he has coming up at the end of this month (1:00:16 - END)!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable Recap with your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony! This week we had a VERY special returning guest on with us to recap The Challenge World Championship EP11 "Weight Of The World", the one and only The Challenge Historian AKA Jacob Hollabaugh. Join us as we start off by catching up with Jacob and talk about everything from his massive change to his personal features to his recent trip to Iceland where he got to do one of the Challenges they did on S36 Double Agents (0:00 - 14:00). Then we break into getting Jacob's overarching views of the season so far - so pretty much we give him 20 minutes to sum up the thoughts he has spent all season recapping on his own podcast (make sure you go check it out for a full run down) including his high level thoughts and a pressing question he wants Corrina's specific opinion on (14:00 - 37:53). Then, finally we break into recapping EP11 of The Challenge World Championship where we discuss whether this was Kaycee's episode to shine, our thoughts on whether or not Jordan is showing immense growth in his ability to take criticism or if he's just faking it for the show (shout out the cesspool that is Twitter-land), and our personal thoughts on whether or not Jordan and Kaz ever had any kind of special connection if you know what im saying. Jacob also proposes an interesting proposition about why we may not have been seeing hookups so heavily on The Challenge recently. Next we break into some behind the scenes info we were able to pick up regarding what happened during the daily and why Jordan/Kaz were never brought up by Sarah/Theo as an option for elimination as well as diving into nominations and whether or not Danny/Tori made the right decision by going with Jordan's plan. Yet again, Jacob proposes a wonderful question for us all about how we think the nomination ceremony is controlled and what keeps people from changing their vote after someone else casts theirs. We also breakdown the potential Sarah-Danny backstab and whether or not it was a planned veteran move or a major rookie mistake for Sarah and Emily to leave their microphones on in the bathroom. Lastly, we worship our leader, the Dirtiest Player in the Game for his impeccable move shaking up the house, our thoughts on this Hall Brawl (and what it could have been), Jordan's crazy game intuition, Troy's Final's Curse, our episode MVP's and all of our predictions for the final next week including who The Challenge Historian thinks could take the title if the team he chose on his podcast doesn't win! I know we're late with this one but you SERIOUSLY do NOT want to miss this one!

Check out The Challenge Historian on IG, YouTube and anywhere you get podcasts! Also, if you're a Fast and Furious fan, make sure you celebrate the new movie by picking up a copy of Jacob's fan guide book to The Fast and Furious movies! Linked below!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Cory! This week we have a special guest returning for her 2nd appearance on our podcast - Alexis! This week we all get together to break down The Challenge World Championship EP10 "Cruel World". We kick off by putting all the pressure on Alexis to choose who is more hivemind, Rick and Tony or Corrina and Josh. Then we talk about how much it SUCKS when gaming companies try to remake old computer games into modern phone games plus, a bit more on the sponsorship we will never get. Finally we discuss our overall feelings on the episode, discuss our final 4 predictions from last week, plus why Troy is SO endearing to people like us (0:00 - 15:00). Next we break into the episode and debate whether or not Emily is a hypocrite, how much we adore Kiki and Darrell together, whether or not Darrell and Kiki were wrong for not going out for Jordan and Kaz's puzzle piece, Kiki's cartoon jump into the water and Jordan's absolutely impeccable performance quickly overshadowed by his terrible sportsmanship. Plus we also discuss what makes the alliance of Danny/Sarah/Emily different than the Tori/Jordan/Kaycee alliance, the smooth nomination ceremony followed by the shockingly disappointing reaction by TJ to yet another stalemate, Troy and Kaycee attempting to Kool-Aid man their way through the wall in the elimination, who we'd like to see moving forward on the flagship, predictions for the Hall Brawl we KNOW is coming next week, host MVP's of the episode and even an update on our Challengers Unplugged series! Come have some fun with us and Alexis before the next episode of The Challenge airs tomorrow and we're most likely stuck on yet another episode cliffhanger!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another epic episode of Challengers Unplugged where your hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh and Tony take you beyond the edit with some of your favorite Challengers to give you the opportunity to get to know them better. This week we sat down with none other than S38 Rookie of the Season and quite possibly Male Rookie of 2022/2023, Horacio Gutierrez, Jr. We kick off the episode by diving deep into Horacio's early life including what his dream job was as a kid, how he got into soccer and why it became so important to him. Horacio walks us through his soccer career through College, playing in Tasmania in the NPL, playing for Fayetteville in the USA, being scammed in Spain and even tells us about his traumatic knee surgery in Mexico. We then have Horacio explain to us what Exatlon was, how he got onto the show, how it differed from The Challenge, how he went from alternate to main cast yet again plus he tells us of the time he got into trouble on the show! Lastly we run through his time on MTV's The Challenge including how he and Olivia met, which of them got the call for the show, what his biggest worry with Olivia was VS when he knew she was the right partner for him, whether or not that front flip in his first elimination against Turbo was purposeful, what his most shocking connection in the house was, his true feelings on Jordan Wiseley, what moment he was most disappointed in himself for (trust us it's not what you think), his favorite daily/elimination, what moment he wished was shown in the final edit and even tells us what he thinks about Fessy Shafaat. There's so much we managed to discuss in this deep dive interview including exclusive stories and more we just don't have the space to write about so make sure you check out this episode from start to finish and then let us know what you thought by messaging us on Instagram, Twitter or on our FB Page.

Make sure you're following Horacio on social media and go show him some love on Cameo!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh and Tony where we are going to be deep diving into The Challenge World Championship EP9 "Transform The World! This week, Josh attempts to join us for a full recap but ends up only being able to make the intro but hey, a little is better than nothing! Listen in as we catch up with Josh MF Chambers and debate about why Millennials like Rick and Corrina do NOT listen to voicemails. Then we break into the episode and talk about our overall feelings on the episode, whether or not this is the SICKEST daily Challenge of this season and oh how we hate thee awkward movie promos... let us count the ways! Lastly we have a heated debate about who started the CFP Hivemind trend, Josh and Corrina or Tony and Rick PLUS Josh becoming a chameleon live on air and easily the hardest and most annoying Corrina laugh you've ever heard (0:00 - 20:00). Then, join us as Rick, Corrina and Tony break into the episode and discuss our feelings about opening on a bar scene, the unwritten rules on voting yourself in for your friend, Danny and Tori's heart to heart and find out the truth on what is going on with Danny/Tori, Sarah/Theo and Jordan/Kaz. We also touch on the obvious foreshadowing of a split in Kaz and Tristan's friendship as well as Kaz and Jordan's partnership. Lastly we break down our thoughts on this strange daily challenge, give a little racing advice to Emily from some who have a bit of experience and talk about what we were MOST and LEAST shocked by in this daily challenge (20:00 - 1:02:00). Lastly, we discuss Kellyanne's gameplay and whether or not she is over politicking, debate about the dealings of the poor man's hot sauce alliance, how much Tori sucks at Rock, Paper Scissors and discuss the smoothest nomination ceremony of all season plus, why is Sarah exempt from her own Challenge game speeches? Closing out the episode we break down our overarching feelings on the elimination, Kaz being (all allowing herself to be) bulldozed by Jordan, next time on and our personal MVP's for the episode (1:02:00 - END). We hope we were able to take this slow moving episode and make it a bit more exciting for you all!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of The Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony. This week we have a very special episode for you because we are going to be collaborating on this recap with none other than Sarah and Jay from Final Alliance Podcast! We have been going back and forth with Final Alliance Podcast for awhile now but it was so great to finally get to sit down, meet them and have a real discussion on The Challenge. Start off by learning a little bit about Final Alliance Podcast including who their team is, how they got into The Challenge, what made them want to start a podcast, what their production process looks like, who their personal favorite players are and of course, their male and female MT Rushmores (0:00 - 20:20). Then, break into The Challenge World Championship episode 8 "What In The World" with us as we give overarching views on the season and then dive deeper into things like Sarah Lacina's extremely human moment and whether or not we think the editors are trying to change their incorrect typecasting of her, how Kaycee always seems to slip through game DQ's, our thoughts on Bamber giving her spot to Kaycee and which team we think ultimately makes the better pairing between Kaycee/Troy and Bamber/Troy. Then we dive into this week's daily as we FINALLY get a decent version of trivia but were the questions too easy? We also discuss why we feel bad for Jodi, the insane coincidence of Tristan getting the one difficult question that happens to pertain directly to his career, how we think friendships in the game should be handled, our thoughts on the Tori/Kaycee VS Danny/Sarah debacle, how important it is to take breaks from this game, the differences we see with how Survivor plays this game VS Big Brother players VS Challenge players. Lastly, we breakdown the elimination and why we weren't huge fans of it, dive into the "next time on" make some predictions and give MVP shoutouts to nearly everyone on the cast. Make sure you don't miss this one and when you're done make sure you go show love to our friends Sarah and Jay over at Final Alliance Podcast and then go make a donation to Tony's walk for Alzheimer's where you can help decide Tony's next hair color (20:20 - END)!

Hey Challenge Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony. I'm going to keep this one real simple by saying our intro is us clowning on IG trolls and talking about why this was one of the BEST episodes of The Challenge in recent seasons (0:00 - 13:00). Then we break into recapping the most recent episode of The Challenge World Championship EP 7 "A New World Order" where we discuss everything from the Kellyanne/Tristan and Jodi/Benja alliance, the impeccably boring daily challenge, why we think Sarah/Theo should have been dubbed the winners of said daily and how we feel about the USA pow-wow with everyone being a liar. We also break into why we think Tori leaving Kellyanne and Kaycee to talk solo was a bad idea, Kellyanne's powerful nomination flip, Ben and Kaycee infinitely choosing a side (their side), what we found so incredibly funny about this club scene, the final elimination and lastly, Corrina and Rick get into a heated debate on whether or not its okay that Tori gave Jordan an assist. We also give major props for Jordan and Bananas respect for each other as competitors, and we discuss how we think the final MUST be next week as half the cast is going out in an ambulance it seems (13:00 - END). This was honestly one of our favorite episodes of the season thus far and we had a BLAST talking about it.

Also, if you're a Marvel fan then you'll understand this but... wait for the "post credit" scene for a funny moment that didn't occur to us before but now has us wondering what all we've said on this podcast!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony! This week we are here to break down The Challenge World Championship episode 6 "Brave New World" and since this is the midseason marker, we are here with our good friend and special guest Alex Brizard. You may recognize Alex from Netflix's The Circle where he catfished as Nathan (rather successfully if I might add), or from his podcast called "Two Dudes Watch Cartoons". If neither of those are it, you may recognize him from this podcast because this will now be the 4th season that we do a midseason recap with Alex.

Kick off the episode with us as we talk about our recent Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit with Cory Wharton episode we just released along with catching up with Alex, making predictions for the future of The Challenge, discussing whether or not MTV Challengers and CBS Challengers should be mixed and we do a little bit of light Challenge USA Cast rumor discussion (0:00 - 20:30). As we dive in to our midseason breakdown, we cover everything starting with how we all felt having the elimination at the start of this episode, Wes's moving speech, whether or not we think Darrell is still made for The Challenge and our hot takes on if Wes is coming to the end of his reality TV road. We also discuss how many seasons is too many, the incredibly fun yet dangerous daily challenge, Danny/Sarah VS Tori, predictions for if Danny/Tori were to run a final against Sarah/Theo, how we are feeling about Ben's drastic game moves and who we think the partners SHOULD have been for optimal game performance. Finally, we break down the wild nomination ceremony, Grant and Jonna being DQ'd at the elimination due to Grant's injury, overarching thoughts on this expansion and our very opposing views on how things should be handled with this crossover plus, we make our final winner predictions and name our episode MVPs. Honestly, we talk about even more and you all should know it by now. Whenever we sit down with Alex, it's always a very deep look into what has happened up to that point in the season and this episode is no different. We thoroughly hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed recording it.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another epic episode of Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony go beyond the edit with none other than MTV's The Real World, The Challenge and Teen Mom OG Legend, Cory Wharton. We start off the episode by talking to Cory about how Maya is doing post open heart surgery as well as check in on Nelson's status and talk about how Cory's visit to see Nelson went. Then we break into his early life such as growing up in Grand Rapids, being a Michigan Wolverine fan, going to games with his grandmother, being a multi-sport athlete, going to a D2 University for football and eventually choosing the next path of his life. Cory tells us why he chose to move to LA, what piqued his interest in being a reality star, what his casting process was like, how he feels looking back on his Real World season and how different it was dealing with a pregnancy announcement in that environment VS now that he's older. He also takes us on a ride through his first Challenge season offer, why he chose Mitch as his partner for Bloodlines, where he feels he failed as a Challenger in that final, his game evolution between seasons, TYB vs The GOATS on Dirty 30, Pasta Gate and so much more! Plus, Cory breaks down his MT Rushmore, his chosen team of 4, the truth to why he's been gone so long, what it was like beating Darrell on Double Agents and his thoughts on the fan theories that the Final Reckoning mercenary invasion elimination was rigged for him and Devin! Lastly, Cory tells us why he does it for his kids, talks about his upcoming movie that he starred in, talks about what his favorite reality show to watch these days is and sends a very sweet message to all his fans. All of this plus more is ready for you.... just hit play.

Make sure you check out the links below and follow along for more information on the new Teen Mom OG season coming soon, Cory's movie release and anything else Cory gets into.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and kind of Josh! This week, we're all back (at least for the intro) to catch up with one another on various things like our upcoming episodes, why we love Kind Cotton SO MUCH, our favorite recent reddit comment about us (just for funsies), MJ Garrett's WILD fan video request and what the heck are we going to do with all these Challenge Fandom Podcast koozies?! (0:00 - 23:00). Then, as Josh says goodbye for the night, the rest of us break into the most recent episode of The Challenge World Championship titled 'Everybody Wants To Rule The World'. We talk about these episode format choices, why Corrina has found a new respect for Zara, where we think the big mistake was in this season, how we are feeling about the daily, who our new favorite partnership is, and who we think are the most stacked teams that you would NOT want to see in TJ's final! We also give our thoughts on Danny's alliances, Wes and Jordan scheming together, whether or not Tori and Jordan "should be here", Wes's abysmal strategic choice, Ben stirring the pot, Danny and Tori's partnership fiasco and why Corrina would just rather not see Sarah on TV anymore. Plus.. a bunch of other shit we don't talk! If you know, you know!

Make sure you check out the links below and go rate us 5 stars with a review on either Apple or Facebook and then send us a screenshot and we will send you a koozie for the upcoming summer!

Hey Fandom and welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony sit down with MTV's The Challenge season 38 Ride or Dies rookie Jakk Maddox and talk all things life, love and The Challenge. Fair Warning: there are some very deep and possibly triggering topics in this episode. We start out talking to Jakk about his life growing up in New Jersey, the dark side of modeling, how he got interested in fitness, the scary truths about sex work, witnessing domestic violence as a child and even a wild story about a time Jakk almost got himself in a really bad situation (0:00 - 53:50). Then, we break into reality TV topics like getting onto Ex on the Peak, how Laurel's friendship has changed his life, his thoughts on Turbo and Emmy, the truth behind the Jakk and Jay friendship, other alliances he was working within, the low down on Bamber, his elimination with Jordan, whether he'd ever consider doing The Challenge again and so much more! This was such an incredible discussion with Jakk and is truly the epitome of why we do what we do and what we wanted our Challenger Unplugged segments to be. We truly hope you all enjoy this episode and that you're able to take away some new information or inspiration from this incredible human being.

Make sure you're following Jakk on all his preferred social media platforms and also.. fuck Cameo!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable and if we never meant it before, we do this week! Your hosts Rick and Corrina are back with TWO special guests: Cinco Holland from Love Island season 3 and CBS's The Challenge: USA as well as Malik from Love War and Challenges Podcast. We've had them both on here before so when I say we had way too many laughs, talked way too much shit and stayed on way too long you should know what we mean by now. Kick off the episode by catching up with the hosts and having a few personal laughs (0:00 - 15:05). Then we start to dive deep into our version of the recap and what I mean by that is that while we DO talk about the episode, we took a slighly different approach and this came out a bit more like a discussion episode rather than a straight recap. We do discuss things like the Jonna/Kellyanne drama, the strange daily and inconsistent rules, Danny trying to target Jordan this early, Nia's health scare, Darrell refusing to be apart of the shenanigans, Bananas's awkward conversation with Danny and the elimination (in which we are still on the hunt for someone who liked it so if you did, hit us up). However, we also discuss things like Cinco's elimination on Challenge USA, whether or not TJ said "you'll be playing for your spot on The Challenge World Championship" or it was voiced over, the dynamic of Wes/Darrell/Kellyanne now VS The Ruins, Malik's thoughts on Jordan (in case you forgot), female GOATS, why there was ZERO hookups on Challenge USA and how this season is already attempting to fix things fans have been upset about recently. Plus, honestly so much more I can't even list it all. Just enjoy the episode at your leisure and don't forget to leave us 5 stars and a review on Apple! If you do, make sure you send us a message on IG or FB with a screenshot of the review and we will send you out a thank you!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh and Tony are joined by a very special guest. Returning for her 2nd interview with us, we sit down with MTV’s The Challenge reigning female champ from season 38 Ride or Dies, Tori Deal! This was a really special one for us… we kick off the episode in a BIG way by diving into Tori’s recent Ayahuasca experience and even hear detailed stories about some of her time in the Amazon. From there we attempt to pick up where our last interview left off at the end of season 37 where Tori shares some personal struggles that she hadn’t spoken about publicly, discusses how her game changed between season 37 and 38, why her game in 38 was so unexpected (even to her) and how she truly felt about having Jordan there for her win. We also dive into Paramount Plus’s The Challenge World Championship including which MVP’s she had her eyes on, how she feels about being titled a legend as well as being on the cover for the season and gives us her overall thoughts on the coming season. Plus, we go over some frequently asked fan questions including information about: The Search for Syrup, going vegan, what it’s like being vegan in real life VS being vegan while filming The Challenge, the meanings behind her solar system tattoo and frequently worn jewelry, if we should expect new books or music from her in the coming future, what her plans for her winning money is and so much more! We even get a chance to dive into her mental health journey and share a bit of good news with her about members of our own team. There’s honestly so much more so just relax and enjoy the ride! Make sure you download and rate us 5 stars if you haven’t!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another round of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony! We are kicking off our next set of 100 episodes with none other than a FULL cast breakdown on the newest spin off version The Challenge - Paramount Plus's The Challenge World Championship. On this spin off, competitors that won and competed on various international versions of  The Challenge (USA, UK, Australia and Argentina) will compete side by side with some of MTV The Challenge's most fearsome legends and champions for their right to call themselves the Champion of all Challenge Champions. 

Wow, that was pretty good haha! Anyway, we talk about it all - so FAIR WARNING! I don't want to get messages complaining that we spoiled the winners of Australia, UK, US or Argentina. You'll be seeing all their faces on World Championship in less than 48 hours anyway! But fair warning, when we started this recording we thought we'd be able to time stamp everything for you but unfortunately with the way the episode falls together and AD placements, I can only give you approximate times SO... if you're really trying to avoid finding out who won the international spin off versions for whatever reason, maybe skip this episode. If not, then get ready for some breakdown info on the international players and full in depth assessments on The Challenge Legends that were chosen to play this season. Additionally, we also talk about the format of the coming season, our predictions and who we would like to see partnered together plus Tony gives us a 30,000 FT overview highlight of the premier episode of Survivor 44. 

We hope you all enjoy this episode and we can't WAIT to be back next week to breakdown the first episode!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged with your hosts of The Challenge Fandom Podcast Rick, Corrina, Josh, Tony and Cory. This week we are joined by a very special guest - the one and only reigning male Champion of MTV's The Challenge season 38 Ride or Dies - Devin Walker. Plus.. it's our 100th episode! If you've been with us since the start, then you know Devin was our very first episode and since everything just seemed to fall into place nearly perfectly, we decided to make him our 100th episode to celebrate his championship! Huge shout out to Devin for joining us once again and taking the time to sit and tell us stories, laugh with us and celebrate with us. 

Start off by filling in some gaps we didn't fill on our first go around with Devin including where he was born and raised, what his childhood was like, what sports he played as a kid and even which Challengers didn't believe that he played ANY sports! We also go into depth on Devin's thoughts on Fessy, luck VS strategy for dagger and skull picks, memory tactics and some of the craziest heights over water falls resulting in injury. Devin speaks on why he values puzzles and attention to detail so much, shares his favorite monologue and breaks down why he was so disappointed in Bananas and Nany deciding to not attempt to finish the final puzzle. We talk to Devin about CT's dream coaching season and get his take on who the best teams this season truly were. Devin lets us know where he thinks Horacio and Olivia would have placed had Olivia not been tragically injured with the golf ball, what his original plan was following the first elimination where they were sent in against fellow veterans Kailah and Sam by rookies Johnny and Ravyn. Devin also spills a little tea on an unaired altercation between himself, Turbo and Colleen, his phenomenal idea for a true five day final, thoughts on rigged season conspiracies, which Challengers have the best "Lay Low" game plan, and even tells a story about how The Amazon almost kept us from having Devin AND Tori! Finally, we break down all our theories on why Devin wasn't on the final cast for The Challenge World Championship, his MT Rushmore, debate whether or not Devin is truly top 25 Challengers of all time, Devin shares his true feelings about his new found friendship with Bananas, and even answer some fan questions about advantages in the final, unaired checkpoints and find out once and for all if the money share was part of the format and TJ just wasn't shown talking about it or if it was truly done from the bottom of Dave and Dave's hearts. Plus, more and I know what you're thinking - everyone says that when there isn't more but ironically, Devin has a very strong message for all of his fans and supporters and even some advice for people who aren't necessarily fans of his. 

The point is that you do NOT want to miss this episode! Whether a fan of Devin or just a fan of MTV's The Challenge, this is one Champion interview you will want to hear.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh, Tony and Cory! We did it! We are officially here at the end of MTV's The Challenge season 38 Ride or Dies. This season began in October 2022 but honestly, it feels like it's gone on for nearly a year now! So, come break down the finale with us! Start off by finding out why Tony says that horses get farted on the most, the red VS pink shirt debate, Fergie's National Anthem disaster, class clown stories, strange school mural paintings and which host says they'd die for Circle K (0:00 - 17:25). Next, we discuss Sam Bird and Emily Schromm's recent twitter beef and have a few debates about things like: why the advantage from the Noodle Dinner wasn't announced, if The Challenge is ready to be considered the fifth sport, how we are feeling about the time inconsistencies, who we are dubbing the true MVP of Challenge finals, our thoughts on the Corn Maze, whether we prefer finals to end on a mountain peak, what we are so upset is missing from this final and does TJ really hate girl farts? (17:25 - 58:15). Last, we discuss the quote of the night, how we are feeling about this modified version of 'Balls In', whether we think Nany was intentionally targeting Aneesa's injuries, overarching thoughts on the Post Apocalyptic Finale Zone, Olivia being dubbed the new age Barbie Beast, the biggest mistake of the entire season, how we feel about Bananas and Nany not finishing until the horn, season MVP's, rookies we want to see back and, if you can believe it, even more than that (58:15 - END). It has honestly been an incredibly fun season. We've laughed, cried, argued, agreed, had amazing guest hosts and were even able to all come together a few times. Thank you all for your love and support this season, we truly appreciate you all more than you know. Make sure you keep an eye out for our "off season discussion" episode next week and we will be back with Roundtable Recaps in a few weeks for The Challenge World Championship!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh, Tony and our special guest host for this week, Aaron Miller. Aaron is a great friend of ours and helps admin our Trash Talk group on Facebook. We start off by catching up with each other, poking some fun at Josh, giving out thoughts on the season so far and we debate on who would be the better choice for a final team: Jordan or Horacio. Then we discuss how we think Horacio would have done had they let him continue, what our favorite Fast Food joint is, Superbowl predictions and fun facts about some of the players and we even break into what the worst names are where Rick tells the hilarious story about what his name would have been had he been born a girl (00:00 - 34:15). Next we chat with Aaron a little and get to know how he became a fan of The Challenge, what team of 4 would he want to create if he were running TJ's final and of course his MT Rushmore of The Challenge (34:15 - 48:00). Finally we break into Part 2 of MTV's The Challenge season 38 Ride or Dies episode 18 titled "The Hours" and boy they weren't kidding. We debate on how we feel about TJ being a bigger part of The Challenge and discuss whether we think Nany overheard Tori at the pea soup swamp puzzle including whether we think overhearing is "cheating" on The Challenge. As we move through the episode we talk about things like whether or not Aneesa's injury is Jordan's fault in any way, whether or not we think Jordan and Bananas helping each other was smart, and our overarching thoughts on Jordan and Aneesa's partnership as a whole. Also, we talk about our favorite strategic moment in this episode, how we'd prefer our giant plate of noodles and even rank Noodle Nany in the pantheon of The Challenge food challenges before we make our final predictions, MVPs and discuss our upcoming episodes (48:00 - END). 

When they put out a 41 minute run time episode and our recap is still over 2 hours long, you know we all just like hanging out so come kick back and enjoy this episode with us, you won't regret it!

Hey Challenge Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged where this week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony take you beyond the edit with none other than Jay Starrett. This episode is special to all of us for a variety of reasons but mainly because at the end of the day, we have Jay to thank for us all being here and being together on this podcast. We kick off the episode with a short intro talking about our Fandom history for Jay, where we first fell in love with him and what has held us on so long (0:00 - 6:10). Then we start breaking down Jay's childhood including why he's so drawn to the beach, some of his wild childhood stories from Florida, where his fandom for reality TV started, how he got into the process of applying for Survivor, the casting process, his time on the island, making the switch from CBS to MTV and everything in between (6:15 - 1:09:00). Next we talk to Jay about his views on Survivor and The Challenge including his MT Rushmore, his chosen team of 4 to run one of TJ's final with, his thoughts on the CBS expansion, who he'd like to see from Survivor try the Challenge and vice versa, the history of Stay Loco, future goals and even a couple special messages for his fans and followers (1:09:00 - 2:11:00). Last, as we say goodbye to Jay, your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony reminisce on the past 2.5 hours, our overall experience with Jay in person VS how his character is portrayed on TV,  what we are looking forward to with Jay, upcoming interviews, our personal goals for 2023 and a subtle hint towards our next guest (2:11:00 - END)! Do NOT miss this episode! We had a blast with Jay, laughed way too much, had moments where he brought tears to our eyes and thoroughly learned more about the man that we ever intended. Our word for Jay Starrett? Tenacious.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh and Tony break down part 1 of MTV's The Challenge season 38 "Ride or Dies" episode 17 "Riders On The Storm" with our very special guest and avid listener, CJ Harris.

Finally, we break into episode 17 "Riders On The Storm" for MTV's The Challenge season 38 "Ride or Dies" where we start off by making our predictions for if we think there will be a *take the money and run* option at the end of this final and move into breaking down each stage of this final. We chat about the funniest moments of the episode, the most Alaskan thing we've ever heard, The Challenge's kryptonite, The Golf Ball heard round the Fandom, other injuries in Challenge history that left us feeling shook, predictions based on the preview for next week, MVP's upcoming episodes and so much more (50:00 - END).

Make sure you go show CJ some love and keep an eye out for season 2 of his podcast "The BS Podcast".

Lastly we chat with Cinco about what he's been working on lately and get the answer to our favorite fandom question: choose one person of the same sex and 2 of the opposite sex to form a team of 4 (44:00 - END). We had such a great time with Cinco and we really hope you all enjoy this episode.

Next, we are joined by Marlon Williams and talk about a variety of things including his feelings on the re-release of The Real World Portland on Netflix January 21st, 2023, why he feels that if he had waited a few more years to come out things would have been different for him, why he's happy to be part of the movement when he was anyway, his thoughts on Jordan's physical domination these past couple of eliminations, what his thoughts are on what's missing from the newer formats and so much more (21:30 - 1:06:10). Finally, break down MTV's The Challenge season 38 Ride or Dies episode 15 titled "Knot A Problem" including our thoughts on the awkward Faysal and Moriah reconciliation, Aneesa and Jordan's developing friendship, Devin's strategic prowess this season, our thoughts on this insane daily, why we were so overly impressed with this week's elimination, our MVPs, upcoming guest announcements and more (1:06:10 - END).

Next we break down episode 14 of MTV's The Challenge season 38 Ride or Dies including a heated debate about the rules of the daily, what we think is to come now that the Challengers are back in pairs, who we are consistently impressed with this season, which team we'd like to see come back from the elimination next week, our MVP's and more!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Cory. This week we also have a very special guest with us, she is a fellow Challenge fan and huge supporter of us here at The Challenge Fandom Podcast, Alexis! We are SO excited to have Alexis here with us to break down this episode! We kick it off by catching up with each other, talking about some of our "WTF" moments from the past couple of episodes and get a feel for where Alexis is sitting with the season (0:00 - 18:40). Then we break into MTV's The Challenge season 38 episode 13 titled "Blind Faith". We discuss the opening kitchen fights, why we loved this daily so much and why Devin isn't the right one to blame in this scenario plus, we discuss who we were most impressed by in the interrogation scenes. Lastly, we break down the elimination including the surprise guest being TJ's ride or die Roxanne Lavin, the controversial finish, whether or not TJ was playing favorites and how much we hope that Moriah gets to come back to the show just so we can see the look on her best friend Faysal's face. Finally, we name off our MVP's for this week and update you all on how our fantasy season is going after these last few weeks off (18:40 - END).

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged where your hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh and Tony take you beyond the edit with your favorite Challengers, Survivors, Amazing Racers and Big Brother players. This week we have none other than The Pitbull himself, Derrick Kosinski. Jump into this wild ride with us as we talk to Derrick about what he wanted to be when he was growing up, how he became interested in reality TV, what his casting process was like, "D's Nuts", Challenge Mania and so much more! We even get a chance to break down the most common Mt Rushmore occupants with Derrick and get his thoughts on who he thinks have been some of the most influential players to the game. Derrick was such a joy to have on the podcast and brought just as much energy and excitement as he does to every aspect of his life. As long time fans of Derrick, it truly was an honor to get some of his time to talk all things life, love and The Challenge. 

Make sure you're following Derrick and Challenge Mania everywhere and look out for the next event near you!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh and Tony. Start off by catching up with your hosts while we talk about some of our ticks while recording, our overall thoughts on the midseason episode and what we got right or wrong in our predictions last week (0:00 - 12:55). Next, we dive into MTV's The Challenge season 38 Ride or Dies episode 9 "Split Decision" and break down this episode from Olivia's seemingly awkward forgiveness of Nelson immediately following the elimination to the mini final we've all been dying for, Faysal's Messy Vessel of destruction, the final teams, and our message to the fandom on how we plan to handle the Tori & Jordan situation. Plus we talk about MVP's and why we only have one this week, plus the effects of having a friend who truly loves you through your mental health struggles (shout out to Dave), and update you all on our Ride or Dies fantasy season (12:55 - 1:28:00). Finally, Tony walks us through Survivor 43 episode 12 "Telenovela" which is the exact episode Rick and Corrina have been waiting for. We walk through the reward challenge, immunity challenge (and that incredibly difficult puzzle), all the different moving pieces, the no holds barred tribal council and finally the biggest blindside this season of Survivor has seen thus far. We also discuss our episode MVP, season MVP, winner predictions, paths we see for each player, who we think will have the most difficult path and update you all on our Survivor 43 fantasy season (1:28:00 - END). We had a lot of fun this episode and we hope you all enjoy it! Make sure you check out the links below and come back again next week to see what happens with these Challenge 38 teams as well as the Survivor 43 finale!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony sit down with Amazing Race 32 winner and Challenge USA contestant, James Wallington. We had such a great time getting to know James! He takes us on a journey through his younger life and being a Reality TV fan, how he got started watching reality TV and what his first favorite show was. We dive deep into his time leading up to his casting on Amazing Race including going over the many credits he has for America's Next Top Model, Friends With Benefits, the now gone TV show called Capture and more. Finally we breakdown his time on The Amazing Race, winning and getting engaged at the same time, travel advice, LGBTQIA+ acceptance in other countries, having an alliance on Amazing Race, getting the call for The Challenge USA, competing through with such a small team of Amazing Racers and then watching his friends endure that horrific final. James was so open and easy to talk to, it felt like catching up with an old friend and we honestly cannot wait to have James back on the podcast! Wishing James and Will a Happy Anniversary and all the happiness the world can offer. 

If you're not already, make sure you follow James on your favorite social media platform, check out his season of Amazing Race if you haven't yet and consider him for your next Cameo!

Welcome back Fandom! This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony are back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable. We've also got one of our very special guests and dear friends back with us, Alex Brizard of Netflix's The Circle and co-host of Two Dudes Watch Cartoons. This week we went a little bit different of a route and we really hope you all enjoy it. Start off with catching up with your hosts, saying hello to Josh in Vegas for Challenge Mania and hear our 30,000 foot views on the show overall (0:00-35:30). Then break into the entire season with us as we do a mid season recap with Alex going over some of the best and worst moves made this season, the Vet VS Rookie game play style, hypothetical season formats we'd love to see, top things we'd like to see fixed in the show, personal opinions on help and cheering in the eliminations, thoughts on remaining teams, finals predictions and more (35:30 - 2:33:30). Finally, we dive into Survivor 43 and since we've missed a few episodes with our Survivor expert, we do a larger overview of the last 3 episodes and break down some of the smoothest tribal moves to date, our overall thoughts on the season thus far, what our initial predictions were VS what they are now and what kinds of things we'd like to see moving forward in Survivor (2:33:30 - END).  

We hope you all enjoy this mid season breakdown with Alex Brizard. Make sure you go follow Alex and go check out his podcast Two Dudes Watch Cartoons for full breakdowns on some of your favorite cartoon movies both old school and modern day.

Welcome back Fandom! This week is a very special episode of Trash Talk Roundtable because our original hosts who started it all are back together again! That's right! Rick, Corrina and Josh come together for a throwback episode of Trash Talk Roundtable to recap MTV's The Challenge season 38 Ride or Dies episode 7 titled 'Deep Web. And that's it! HAHA! We are sticking to Challenge tonight. Catch up with your hosts while we announce a very special IG LIVE that will be going down this coming week, give you information on our 2022 TJ Lavin Fans Giveback charity project in which we team up with  TJ to create a custom, limited edition design to sell on a variety of products and donate all proceeds to TJ's charity of choice. We also give our feedback on the season up to this point, talk about some of our gripes with the editing choices and discuss how horrendous the foreshadowing is this season (0:00 - 18:36). Finally, break into the episode with us as we deep dive into all the craziness that went down in episode 7. We discuss what we expect from the people who agree to go on the show VS what we are shown at times, touch on the terrible editing yet again, discuss why we liked this daily challenge so much, how proud we were of the nominations Nelson and Nurys made and then subsequently how disappointed we were in the final decision. We also go over our MVP's, talk about some heart touching moments that you may have missed and give you all an update on our Challenge Fantasy season (18:36 - END). We really hope you all enjoy this nice little throwback to our original hosts and our original format; shoot, Rick and Corrina even get into a little bit of a heated argument so it truly is like the old school Challenge Fandom Podcast days!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Josh sit down with Corey Lay from MTV's The Challenge season 37 Spies Lies and Allies. He also featured on 12 Dates of Christmas, 90210, NCIS and more. We talk to Corey about our typical topics like growing up and what he wanted to be, how he got into being on television and some really delicious behind the scenes information Corey was willing to share with us. However, we also dive deep into his views on The Challenge from a fan's point of view, how he felt about certain people, which OG Challengers he looked up to as a kid watching the show, who he'd like to meet and we even have a very special moment with Josh's child Dae who has an incredible message to share with Corey Lay. Corey also opens up to us about his feelings on current culture and the trajectory of society,  the effects of cyber bullying by fans, and much more. This is absolutely an episode that as a Challenge fan, you won't want to miss. We hope you all enjoy this as much as we did and if Dae and Corey's message touched your heart, reach out on IG and let us know.

Welcome back Fandom! This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Cory sit down for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable on MTV's The Challenge season 38 Ride or Dies episode 6 'Come Michele or High Water' as well as CBS's Survivor season 43 episode 9 'What About The Big Girls'. Kick off the episode by catching up with our hosts and getting in the groove for recapping the wild events of episode 6 of The Challenge 38 plus hear about what show Corrina has been hooked on for the past couple of weeks (0:00 - 11:45). Then we deep dive into The Challenge 38 episode 6 where we review all the ins and outs of the pre conversations, why we feel the club scene fell flat, why we loved this daily challenge so much, Jay and Michele winning back to back dailies and the wild moves made after that. Plus, we talk about Laurel and Jakk's influence on the game thus far, how we feel about stirring the pot with someone like Jordan, why Bananas and Nany haven't been working well together, the strange elimination and TJ's heartfelt goodbye to Laurel (11:55 - 2:19:00). Last, we break down Survivor season 43 episode 9 and talk about the after effects of last week's blindside, how much we love these straightforward immunity/reward challenges, the excitement of a double tribal, papayas and arguments and finally the explosive move Noelle made in the first tribal of the night (2:19:00 - END). We thoroughly enjoyed both episodes of both shows this week and had a lot to say, so forgive us for that! 

Check out the links below to see what Corrina was talking about with Lost Ancient Civilizations and to learn more about Rick's obsession with The Younger Dryas "theory".

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another epic round of Challengers Unplugged where your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony are going Beyond the Edit with none other than the Amazing Racer/Challenger/all around badass, Cayla Platt! Cayla walks us through her early years in life including what she wanted to be when she grew up, what her zest for life was and why she played so many sports! She even tells us about college and then getting up and taking off to another country on a whim where she found a huge passion in life. We also walk through getting casted for Amazing Race (this story is crazy), going on Amazing Race and then having to take a 19 month hiatus before filming the remainder of the show. We talk about the difference between the traditional aspects of Amazing Race VS the different conditions her season had to endure due to the pandemic and how it effected not only Amazing Race but her life and job as well. Finally, we break into getting casted on CBS's The Challenge USA, what it was like playing with so many CBS legends, who her true alliances were in the house despite the edit, what it felt like making it to TJ's final, her thoughts on various events that occurred, and finally she walks us through what happened at the top of that mountain in the final leg of TJ's final on The Challenge USA. Cayla truly is an amazing person who has lived an amazing life! She is the epitome of living fearlessly with zest and we are so thrilled we got to bring you such a complete and well rounded story of her life.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Unplugged.. but this time your hosts Rick and Corrina are doing something a bit different. We sat down with award winning director, actor and producer Johnny Hickey to talk about his life, the challenge and everything in between. Johnny tells us a heart wrenching story about being a kid growing up on the wrong side of the tracks and making the wrong kind of decisions to then turn his life around after a nearly fatal accident in which he was not supposed to walk away from. Hickey turned his mistakes and experiences into his lifelong dream of being an actor, director and producer and decided to share his story with the world. Johnny also talks to us about his longtime friendship with Chris 'CT' Tamburello and David Burns of The Real World and MTV's The Challenge as well as how he became such close friends with the likes of Jordan Wiseley, Josh Martinez and many other Challenge stars. He goes into detail with us about a wild Bachelor Party night during CT's Wedding special, a crazy encounter with Cara Maria that had to be squashed during CT's wedding, his thoughts on CT's newest role as Rainsford in The Most Dangerous Game (and the movie as a whole), who The Challenge GOAT is, if he'd ever consider doing a season with CT, his many upcoming projects with various Challenge favorites and so much more. Johnny Hickey is the epitome of being down the wrong path, experiencing a life altering situation that turned him around and then grabbing ahold of life and taking it for all it has. Being able to have this conversation with Johnny was truly a blessing and we couldn't be more grateful for the time and lessons Johnny gifted to us. Don't miss this episode and make sure you check out Johnny's movies 'Oxy-Morons', 'Habitual' and keep an eye out for more information on his upcoming projects.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another Trash Talk Roundtable. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony, Cory (and Josh for a little bit) catch up with each other and pre-game with Josh a bit before he headed out for his nightly festivities (0:00 - 12:20). Then we break into MTV's The Challenge season 38 ride or Dies episode 3 titled 'A Bumpy Ride'. We deep dive into everything from the opening discussions between Bananas and Jordan, the horrible-to-watch daily challenge that had us wishing this was a 60 minute episode, to the messy club scene and the absolute BADASS take on Hall Brawl... none of this Double Decker nonsense.. this is Tall Brawl! Then we finish out with our MVP's for the episode and give our thoughts on this rookie pairing of Horacio and Olivia (sincerest apologies to Horacio as we were informed after the recording that we are in fact saying his name incorrectly) and what we think about the next incoming team (12:30 - 1:43:20). Finally we finish off with a recap of CBS's Survivor season 43 episode 6 titled 'Mergatory' where we break down the mid-merge move, the immunity challenge and the absolute tornado that followed thereafter. Closing out we give our MVPs for Survivor, who our season winner picks are, update you all on our fantasy and spill the beans on all our pending Beyond the Edit Unplugged interviews that we will be releasing over the next two months (1:44:00 - END).

Plus we walk you through the daily, deliberation and elimination with details we noticed and possible easter eggs that you didn't notice (17:20 - 2:04:45). Next we break into Survivor season 43 EP 4 titled 'Show No Mercy' and whoooooaaa this was a fun one! We walk you all through the Survivor island and catch up with all the tribes, talk about the interesting reward challenge and the shocking win at the immunity challenge. Plus, we go into depth about what may have happened at the Coco tribe and how not going to tribal up to this point may have hurt them as a tribe moving forward. Lastly we go over our season winner picks to this point, our MVPs and update everyone on our Survivor fantasy draft (2:05:30 - END). Such a fun episode to go through, we hope you all enjoy it.

Plus we also have a discussion with Malik about racism in reality TV and the difference between ignorance and personal choices (41:30 - 2:35:15). After that, Malik hops off the podcast but Rick, Corrina, Tony and Cory break down Survivor 43 EP3 'I'll Sign The Divorce Papers' and talk about which Survivors really impressed us this episode and which Survivor has fallen down our list (2:35:15 - 3:29:30). We then go over our Survivor Fantasy Draft points, shout out our Challenge 38 Ride or Die Fantasy Draft teams, do our live recorded giveaway, and talk about our next upcoming project that we are working on with none other than TJ Lavin himself (3:20:30 - END).

Hey Fandom - Survivor Fandom that is! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts of The Challenge Fandom Podcast Tony, Corrina and Rick. Today we are doing something a little different - we are recapping Survivor and Survivor only! Normally we would hold these recaps for when The Challenge started back up and just tack a Survivor recap onto the end of The Challenge but you know what? YOLO! So lets recap Survivor season 43 episodes 1 and 2. 

Kicking off the episode, catch up with your hosts and get some of our thoughts on everything being thrown our way, some of our plans going forward, upcoming features and how we're feeling about our first all Survivor recap (00:00 - 16:55). Then break into Survivor 43 episode 1 with us while we talk about our Fantasy Survivor Team Draft, some of our first impressions and favorite back stories, what we think about the tribes, who reminds us of who and an overall recap of the opening Reward Challenge, camp life, Immunity Challenge and first Tribal Council (16:55 - 1:37:00). Next we dive into episode 2 and talk about how our feelings may have changed for some of the Survivors, what we are looking forward to, our thoughts on taking away a tribe's flint for losing a challenge and of course, we recap the Immunity/Reward Challenge, camp life, alliance flips and flops and of course, the Tribal Council (1:37:00 - 2:46:00). Then, wrap up the podcast episode with us as we go over our current fantasy team points, who we have coming up on the podcast, plans we have for future guests, and information on the Challenge Trivia Night that Corrina participated in (2:46:00 - END).

Welcome back Fandom! Your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony are back with another episode of Unplugged, taking you beyond the edit with none other than Sarah Rice herself. Sarah joins us to talk all things life, love and The Challenge. We start off by diving in to her current career, why she chose it and how she thinks she can help others who have similar experiences to her. We also talk about what she wanted to be when she was a little girl, her casting process, how she feels about Johnny Bananas, what really happened up on that mountain in Rivals 3, her most beloved moments, lessons she has carried with her through life, which season she felt she was not quite herself and so much more. Sarah is such an incredible person and to have gotten the chance to spend nearly 3 hours with her getting to know her and the way she views things is nothing short of a blessing. We thank Sarah for being so honest, open and forthcoming with her views, opinions, stories and plans for the future.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Cory. This week we sit down to break down everything surrounding the final 2 hour special episode of  The Challenge USA premiering on CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus. This week we had a final episode with a night-ly challenge to determine the last place female for elimination as well as the 2 day finale and we break into it all. We took this weekend to review our discussions with protected sources, read articles, listen to other podcasts/exit interviews and complete our own tour of exit interviews with the finalists. This episode wraps up everything we saw and everything we know and everything we learned into one not so pretty bow. Let's face it, production shit the bed on this one and we are going to show you where we think they could have made changes to better suit the final they had drawn out as well as what we think all of the conflicting stories truly boils down to. Check it out and then let us know what you think in the polls below or on our IG page. 

Also just a friendly reminder we will be taking the first week of Survivor off and coming back on the second week to recap episodes 1 and 2 as well as the Challenge documentary, Amazing Race and we will also be talking about MTV's The Challenge season 38 Ride or Dies. We will cover the cast, partnerships, predictions for format, what we'd like to see, draft our teams and make our final predictions for who we see raising their arms as Challenge Champions at the end of the season. Make sure you download the episode and rate us 5 stars if you haven't already!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another wild round of exit interviews for The Challenge USA premiering on CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus. This week we got the chance to sit down with majority of the finalists from Challenge USA and go over their run on the season, their experience in TJ's final and any burning questions we may have for them. Unfortunately a few were unable to attend the exit interview rounds due to traveling and/or personal reasons so shout out to Tyson, Angela, Dom, Cayla and Justine for their hard work and dedication through this season. 

On this episode, your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony start out with our initial thoughts and reactions to the finalists and what we are looking forward to learning from them (00:00 - 09:50). Then we immediately hop into Ben and Enzo's meeting room where the energy levels were so high and we were greeted with tons of laughs, memories and accountability (09:50 - 24:30). Next we move right into Desi and Alyssa's meeting room and get Alyssa's thoughts on how she thought she would have done in the final had she not been eliminated and get a chance to talk to Desi about her heartbreaking disqualification due to Enzo quitting in the first leg of TJ's final (24:30 - 46:15). After that we go to the meeting room with the Challenge USA Champions Danny and Sarah and talk to them about their experiences on the show, how they felt about their performances and get their closing thoughts of the show (46:15 - 57:20). Last, your hosts gather back in our own meeting room to discuss our closing thoughts, if anything changed for us during the exit interviews, upcoming plans/projects and so much more (57:20 - END).

Welcome back Fandom! Your hosts Rick and Corrina are back with another incredible story of growth, recovery and strength by none other than Nia Moore. On this episode of Challengers Unplugged, we sit down to talk to Nia about her childhood, going on The Real World Portland followed by her appearance on MTV's The Challenge, her disappearance into thin air and eventually, her return to The Challenge on All Stars 3. Nia is open and honest about past mistakes she made, the type of life she lived and how she went about correcting her past mistakes and making up to those she had hurt throughout her life. Nia goes into depth about her healing journey with Jordan, Averey, Sarah Rice and so many others along with her personal growth story. She also lets us know how she got into her amazing career, what she does and of course we talk all about food! Nia also lets us in on specific details of her health scare a few months back, why she had to turn down an opportunity to be on The Challenge season 38 and what she hopes to make of this new life she has created as she continues to move forward. Nia was truly a joy to have on our podcast and has become a very special and dear person to our hearts. I'd say we hope you all enjoy this but I know you will. Be prepared to laugh, be prepared to cry and be prepared to want to fix every nasty thing in your life by the time this Unplugged episode is over. 

If you're not following Nia on social media, change that! Her page is legitimately one of our favorites.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another round of exit interviews! This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony sit down with the most recently eliminated player from The Challenge USA EP10 "Pledges of Allegiance" premiering only on CBS and streaming on Paramount Plus. This week sadly, we lost a Challenger of which all of us have come to love and respect - David. On this special edition of exit interviews, we were granted some additional time with David so we got the chance to really dive deep into his feelings on the show, any prior fandom he had, how he felt about going against one of his best friends in the house, the most interesting thing that WASN'T shown, his alternate ego, his personal highlight of the season, who all had his loyalty, why he was so stuck on the idea of working with Angela and so much more! At the end, our hosts discuss their closing thoughts and say goodbye to David for the season, make plans to have him back on for an Unplugged session to go beyond the edit with David and we even have a debate regarding puzzle eliminations VS physical eliminations and the consistency of both on The Challenge. What do you think? Let us know on IG or twitter and keep an eye out for our recap this weekend where we will go more in depth on our thoughts, feelings and hopes for potential future seasons. One more week until the final and we CANNOT wait to see what TJ has up his sleeve! 

If you're not already following David, go give him a follow and watch his journey through getting himself into peak physical shape and see what he's working on next! Also, check David out for your next cameo purchase. Also, go follow Challenge Stats on IG or Twitter to keep up with all the quirky stats most people don't think to track such as name mentions, confessional counts and even top performance stat sheets! They take good care of the little stat nerds in all of us!

Hey Fandom and welcome back for another ABSOLUTELY EPIC session of Challengers Unplugged. We cannot believe we are saying this but... on this episode of Unplugged we are going to be taking you all beyond the edit with none other than Chris Tamburello. You may also know him as, CT.  Chris sits down with us to discuss everything from going from his younger years to having a family, his wedding special, what it's like being Dad to a mini-him, ins and outs of his Challenge experiences, what got him interested in reality TV and acting, his new movie The Most Dangerous Game, his feature in Habitual, coming back to The Challenge, going through the "Dad Bod" era and how he got back into shape, why he doesn't do Cameo, if we can expect an Only Fans from him soon, why he doesn't have a MT Rushmore and so much more. Plus... SOOOO many laughs. By the end of this interview, our faces all hurt so bad from laughing! MTV definitely does not do CT's humor justice on the show! Grab a snack, grab a drink, grab whatever you need to be comfortable because this is a wild ride and so worth every second! 

It's pretty unlikely that you don't already follow CT, but just in case, we have linked everything below! However, if you have not watched The Most Dangerous Game, go do it now! Show CT the love and support and keep an eye out for any future projects he may or may not be working on! Also, make sure you join our CT Fan Group where we create and share TONS of custom content. Plus, CT approves of the group, can't get much better than that!

Welcome back Fandom! This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony sit down with the most recently eliminated player from The Challenge USA premiering on CBS and streaming exclusively on Paramount Plus. We have a big change in only having one person in elimination, one person eliminated and therefore only one person on the exit interviews. By now, if you've watched the show you know Leo was eliminated via Hall Brawl by Enzo in episode 8 of The Challenge USA. Listen in as we break down the season with Leo and go over the biggest difference between Amazing Race and The Challenge, what his favorite dailies were, what was something that wasn't shown that he feels should have been shown, what he thinks went wrong and he even spills a little tea about a certain someone in the compound apparently causing more havoc than what is being shown! Do not miss this exit interview with Leo and make sure you listen in at the end for instructions on how to learn about our upcoming surprise! We're getting close and trust us, you do NOT want to miss out on this surprise! 

If you're not already, go follow Leo on social media and keep up with all his shenanigans! Links below!

Hey Fandom! Thanks for joining us again! This week your hosts Rick and Corrina are back but this time, we've brought someone very special to us to help us host! Cory has been an avid member of our Facebook fan group for quite some time now and recently decided to join our admin team. Everyone loves his vibe and he has such a great grasp on The Challenge, we decided to invite him on to learn a little more about him and recap episode 7 of The Challenge USA titled State of Unions, premiering exclusively on CBS. We talk about a variety of things as we get settled in and then break into episode 7 bit by bit! We also cover some topics that were discussed in our recent exit interview with the eliminated Challengers as well as our MVPs and why we haven't shared our Fantasy Draft update! 

If you're not following us on social media, make sure you do! IG is where we hold majority of our polls and play our hypothetical games/seasons as well as share tons of custom content! Lastly, if you're on Facebook, make sure you go join our Challenge fan groups and say hi to Cory!

Welcome back Fandom! Your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony are back for another round of exit interviews! This week, just like most other weeks, is a sad one for us. We sit down with the eliminated players from The Challenge USA EP7 Kyland Young and Kyra Green to discuss their time on The Challenge, their favorite daily, something that wasn't shown that they wish was and all the wild drama surrounding their elimination. Kyland and Kyra were such a fun pair to talk to and we are hoping to get a chance to do a more involved interview with them soon. For now, we hope you all enjoy this exit interview with Kyland and Kyra as well as our opening and closing thoughts on their partnership and elimination. 

Make sure you're following Kyland and Kyra on social media and check them out for cameos! Lastly, make sure you're following us on social media and if you still Facebook, come join our groups where we have more long form open discussions. We even have groups specified to some of the most popular Challengers of all time!

Welcome back Fandom! This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony are back with another amazing episode of Challengers Unplugged.

Desi was such an incredible person to talk to and learn from. She is so motivated, passionate and driven to achieve her goals in life and to help others find ways to achieve theirs as well which is such a rare form these days. We loved talking with Desi and getting a chance to soak up even a little bit of her grace and we hope you all enjoy this little part of her too.

Welcome back Fandom! Your hosts Rick and Corrina are back on their own this week *insert Just The Two of Us song*. We are going to be recapping and breaking down The Challenge USA EP6 titled 'A Civil War' and giving our mostly unsolicited opinion on it all. The Challenge USA EP6 starts off with the house back from an insane blindside and unplanned win where you can tell everyone is on edge just waiting for that one little thing to set the house off. We also talk about the time lengths, why some fans seem to think that MTV does 90 minute episodes "all the time" and why we think this was the best overall move for the winning team this episode. We also cover our MVP's, our Fantasy draft, money count and the Kiki Counter! 

Make sure you download and rate us 5 stars if you haven't already! Also, check out our links below! Tons of fun on IG, Facebook and Twitter along with some recent episodes we have released that you JUST have to catch!

Welcome back Fandom! Your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony are back to give you another round of exit interview from The Challenge USA EP6 "A Civil War" airing exclusively on CBS and streaming on Paramount plus. This week, sadly, we sit down to say goodbye to Derek Xiao from Big Brother 23 and Shannon St Clair from Love Island season 3. These two were such a joy to watch on the show and it truly hurt our hearts to have to say goodbye to two cast members we really enjoyed and also felt like they didn't get the air time they deserved. Derek is so hilarious and strategic at the same time while Shannon is just a breath of fresh air. We talk about their time as partners, what they think went wrong in the elimination, how they'd change it if they could do it all over again, whether or not they'd be willing to come back for a potential season two and/or appear on the flagship show and we even get an update on Derek X's new cat! 

Don't forget to download the episode and rate us 5 stars if you haven't already. Also, check out the links below and make sure you're following Shannon and Derek X for tons of great content and who knows, we might just see them on TV again soon! Fingers crossed!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another ABSOLUTELY EPIC segment of Challengers Unplugged with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh and Tony! This time around, we are joined by an incredibly special guest, and I mean that in the best sense of the way! Jordan Wiseley stops by our zoom room to chat with us about.... well, everything! This interview is probably the closest we've ever gotten to getting a Challenger to truly unplug, unwind, relax and just be themselves. Jordan is funny, charismatic, humble, giving and everything you think he's not, based on his TV edits. We break into Jordan's early life living in Oklahoma, his dreams and passions and how he got into wakeboarding and driving/riding, everything. Jordan then walks us through his casting story, going on The Real World Portland, some of his more memorable moments from that experience and what it was like going back into the actual real world after filming. He also takes us on a journey through moving to LA, getting his first win (and then 2 more), creating his Challenge house alternate identity, "Booshka", proposing to Tori Deal on television along with their master plan to stay safe through War of the Worlds 2 and so much more. Jordan is so giving in this interview, we honestly couldn't have asked for more. We truly hope you all enjoy getting to know the REAL Jordan as we take him Beyond The Edit and Unplug Jordan Wiseley from all the reality TV edits and personas that you think you know. We hope you are as thoroughly surprised as we were. 

Make sure you're following Jordan on everything you can and support this man in anyway you can. He is out here doing amazing things for other human beings and most of the time, doesn't even ask for recognition or assistance. Jordan deserves all the fan love and support he can get! Give it up for the 3 Time Champ!!! 

Lastly, make sure you check out our IG, Twitter and FB Fan Groups! Tons of fun content, past guests, hypothetical games and custom highlight reels!

Welcome back Fandom! Your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony/Jenga are back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable where we are recapping episode 5 of The Challenge USA premiering on CBS. This week was a special one as, by the title im sure you can guess, it's NOT Corrina's birthday! But, it almost is! So, she decided to have an adult beverage with the podcast and she has not done that since this time last year so get ready for some laughs! We deep dive into episode 5 discussing everything from small conversations that ended up having zero effect on the episode and were completely unnecessary to the most impactful discussions and confessionals! We also break down the daily and all the things we noticed about the short deliberation afterward. Of course we also go into the elimination and discuss what we thought about the overall outcome, Sarah and Leo's reaction and how we think this will effect the house dynamic going forward. Lastly, we talk about our MVP's of the episode and update you all on how our Fantast Draft teams for The Challenge USA are doing (shouts to Challenge Stats on IG for their diligent work that is helping us)! We hope you all enjoy this recap and hey.... don't forget it's Corrina's birthday!

That way you get notifications when we drop a new episode because trust us, you're going to want to be informed with all that we have in the pipeline right now!

Welcome Back Fandom! We're here with another episode of Challenge USA Exit Interviews! This week we sit down and talk with the eliminated Challengers from episode 5 that premiered on August 3rd, 2022. We sit down with Cinco and Azah to discuss as much as we can from their own personal Fandom's for The Challenge to losing the daily, choosing to remain silent when prompted for a suggested team to go against, going against the Sarah/Leo partnership, where they think they could have improved and everything else that we could in between! We were even granted a few extra minutes so we were able to ask them about their favorite flagship Challengers! Make sure you are following Cinco and Azah for tons of great content, hilarious laughs, amazing photos and lots of fun!

Welcome back Fandom for another round of exit interview for CBS's new reality competition series, The Challenge USA. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony sit down with the most recently eliminated pair, Shan and Xavier, and discuss the ins and outs of their algorithm set partnership, what it was like doing an infamous Challenge fan favorite daily 'Trivia', the politics surrounding their nomination for elimination and our thoughts about the whole thing (per usual). While we weren't necessarily happy to be talking to Shan and Xavier (because we wanted them in the game longer), we had such a great time with them and hope to expand on the vibe and stories as we get deeper into the season. Thank you all for your continued support, downloads, plays, reviews, messages and love. 

If you're not following Shan and Xavier on social media, check the links below for easy access and give them some love! They're truly great people and we hope to see them on reality competition TV again soon!

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged with your hosts Rick and Corrina Hayes. This week we bring you an interview not often done… Josh Martinez. From childhood life, getting on (and winning) Big Brother, then moving onto MTVs The Challenge, Josh takes us on an adventure through his life and how he got to where he is today. Fans and cast alike have gone back and forth with how they feel about Josh on the shows but one thing has remained true, everyone agrees he is an incredibly loyal friend and genuine guy in real life. We can now attest to that. Josh was open, honest and real with us, which we appreciated beyond measure. We truly hope you all take the time to listen to Josh and what he has to say about the fans, cancel culture, online bullying and everything reality TV as we unplug him from those pesky TV edits we are all so used to.  

Make sure you download the episode and follow Josh on social media for tons of adventures, delicious food and some of the coolest friendships you’ll ever find! Also, make sure you check out our IG, Twitter and FB groups for lots of interviews, recaps, games, fantasy drafts, hypothetical seasons/eliminations and tons more!

Welcome back Fandom for another episode of Exit Interviews with your hosts Rick, Tony and Corrina! This week, sadly and happily, we got to chat it up with James and Tasha who were the most recently eliminated competitors from CBS's new reality competition show The Challenge USA. James (originally from Amazing Race) and Tasha (originally from Survivor) were such a joy to watch on TV this season. It was a shame to see them go so soon but definitely a blessing getting to meet and talk with them about their experience on a format like The Challenge vs their original shows. We also talk about what they think was their ultimate demise in the game, what they would change (if anything) and plans for the future! Tasha and Tony even have a special moment right at the end! We loved meeting and connecting with these two and we hope to bring you all more of them soon! 

If you're not following James and Tasha on IG you're definitely missing out! Click their links below and keep up with all things James and Tasha and make sure you tune back in next week to hear from next week's eliminated Challengers from CBS's The Challenge USA.

Welcome Fandom, to a new segment of our podcast. Recently we were granted the ability to do exit interviews for the new Challenge USA premiering on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. While we were unable to meet the deadlines for the first week, we were so excited to be part of this! These interviews will be short and definitely bitter sweet as we talk to the eliminated competitors about their time on the show, what they think happened and anything else the fandom may want to know! This week, we were joined by none other than Tiffany Mitchell from Big Brother and Cashel Barnett from Love Island after their heartbreaking loss in elimination again James Wallington and Cayla Platt from Amazing Race in episode two. Listen in as we talk to Tiff and Cashel about their time on the show, how they felt about the circumstances that were surrounding their elimination. We also chime in some of our own thoughts before and after... you know, the usual. 

We really hope you all come to love these segments! If you have any feedback, we would love to hear it! Thank you for your continued support in all we do!

Welcome back Fandom! This week we have a VERY special episode for you! With the premier of the new CBS show The Challenge USA, we have decided to start branching into other shows that filter into MTV's The Challenge as well as The Challenge USA (airing on CBS) and help you all get to know these competitors on a more personal and unedited level. This week your hosts Rick and Corrina are joined by the son of legendary boxer Smokin' Joe Frazier, huge Challenge fanatic, Big Brother 23 Cookout alliance member and runner up of Big Brother 23, Derek Frazier! Derek sits down with us to break down his childhood, what it was like training with his father, how he got on reality TV, and where he wants to go from here. We dive deep into his old episode of MTV Made and why it is one of his personal least favorite TV appearances, what his reasonings were for certain game moves and we break into his fandom for The Challenge! Derek was such a joy to have on our podcast and spend some time with. He gave us raw, he gave us real, he gave us unedited and there was nothing more we could have asked from Derek. We hope you all enjoy this first episode of Big Brother Unplugged as much as we enjoyed it! 

If you're not following Derek on social media, do it now! Also, make sure you go check out his podcast called 'The Regular Degular Show' in which him and his best friend are an absolute riot and always give such a great show! Links below!

Welcome back Fandom, your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony are back with another episode of Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable where we are recapping All Stars season 3 episode 8 titled 'Going Bananas'. Per usual we break everything down, throw in a few laughs and this time we even tried something new! Rick stepped back as host (or tried to), so come listen to Tony and Corrina try to carry this show on our backs! We also talk way too much trash and give way too many unsolicited opinions on situations we aren't apart of... you know, the norm! 

Make sure you download and rate us 5 stars.. if it's anything less than that, do it to someone else haha!

Welcome back Fandom, for another episode of Challengers Unplugged! Your hosts Rick and Corrina are joined this time by none other than Yes Duffy himself! We break down Yes's life before Reality TV even became a reality for him, travel through his casting story, time on Road Rules Semester at Sea, his friendships built and lessons learned and so much more! Yes tells us about getting invited back for All Stars 1, why he wasn't on All Stars 2 and going up against some of the best in All Stars 3 (Wes, we're looking at you!). We also dive into what he was doing in between his Challenge appearances and talk all things marriage, family, love and architecture activism. I know we say this a lot but Yes was truly a joy to have on our podcast. This was one of those that we left feeling like we'd taken something priceless from the discussion and we hope you feel the same. 

If you're not following Yes on social media, make sure you do it now to keep up with all his projects. Also check out his website and Architect IG below to see some of his and his student's designs!
