    Been listening for years . My third review update. It is your podcast and you can say whatever you feel. Now if you want to back up your ideas please don’t eliminate mentally challenged individuals because you want to make a political statement. The fun is slowly slipping away with this podcast. I enjoy Zachs knowledge, and Wolfie and Carlyn have great feedback on social media. I just quit listening after the review of the show is done. The toxicity is too much.

  • Zach knock it off

    I’m usually on here defending Zach, but cmon man stop piling on CT. Especially when the most known moment on the show is him backpacking your hero. He’s allowed to have a human moment. Yeah but still. Now you can’t say anything back your rules.

  • Mean and Rude

    I wanted to like this because I LOVE the Challenge, but this group of podcasters are one of the worst. Constant fat shaming and hating on Aneesa is disgusting- it makes you ALL look REAL bad and like you ALL are horrible human beings. JUST STOP. Carlyn’s sighing and “uuummm” makes me what to rip my hair out. Constant complaining about the show and the cast- why are you even doing this podcast?

  • Politics divides people, and the challenge brings us together.

    No need to comment or give opinions/make assumptions regarding either side of politics. Please keep them to yourselves. It has nothing to do with the Challenge. Politics divides people, and the challenge brings us together. Let’s stick to talking about that. I know as Podcasters this is your platform, and you could speak as freely as you like, but I just ask you to take in to consideration that you may be offending a portion of your listeners.

    And can Wolfy sound any less enthused about the sh... more

  • Updated review

    Been listening for years . I really like all four hosts, now here comes the but, the last year, due to current events politics is mentioned a lot. We are all entitled to our view, but I can’t stand politics, and thought I was listening to a challenge podcast? It’s the bashing of the contestants I don’t care for. You’re welcome to assume what I am, which is a true challenge fan, love TJ, CT, Cara , no matter what their opinions are. Just an opinion here. I still love to laugh along with you all.
