#188 The Challenge 40 EP14 Roundtable Recap: The Swinging Era... w/ Special Guest Chris From The Caged In Podcast

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Katie and Josh. This week we have a very special guest join us to help break down The Challenge 40 episode 14 "The Swinging Era" and we have Chris DiCarlo from Caged In Podcast to help us dive into everything. We kick off the episode by getting to know Chris a bit such as information about what he does on his podcast, his MMA MT Rushmore, history as a Challenge fan, Challenge MT Rushmores, favorite Challenger, episode grades and we even discuss various hypotheticals that would have been good to see for this elimination (0:00 - 44:15). We break into the actual recap around 45 minutes by discussing Josh giving Michele permission to make him a target, debating when the best time to go into an elimination is, whether or not a win on an iconic casted season such as The Challenge 40 has more weight to it than others, the breakdown of the daily challenge along with initial reactions, expectations and what do we think fans actually miss from old Challenges? We also discuss a highly controversial issue that has come to light this past week followed by everyone trying to be honest as to how many targets we think we'd have been able to hit. After the break we discuss the difference between being in shape and being athletic, why we don't blame Derek for folding to Rachel's hand, how much weight we put into Challengers following each other on social media, whether or not we agree with Cory's immediate forgiveness of Josh, how we feel about Rachel's sudden change of heart towards Bananas this season, and of course we break down the Cory and Nelson friendship and what we love about Cory so much. We close out the show with a discussion on whether or not Cory is the best to never win The Challenge, the elimination breakdown, new targets, Josh's strategy with his Karma Points, MVPs and the next time on. All this and so much more now available on this episode of The Challenge Fandom Podcast featuring Caged In Podcast with Chris DiCarlo.
