    This is so serious, I find the woman has to qualify her remarks for 5 minutes. Get to the point. Unlistenable.

  • Best Challenge Podcast!

    I don’t have many people to discuss The Challenge with so I look forward to the Fandom Podcast! I love the interviews so I can get to know my favorite challengers past what we see on the edit. Best Challenge community by far!

  • Spoiler in Title!

    I ask one thing. No spoilers! This isn’t hard! I hadn’t watched the current episode of the challenge quite yet, then the episode of this podcast popped up in my feed that Bananas was eliminated! Don’t subscribe unless you want spoilers.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#225 The Challenge Unplugged with Jordan Wiseley: The Final Word | MTV's The Challenge
Q: If you were going to talk to, let's say, one of the new rookies that just came in, what would those three pieces of advice be?
Sell out for it, stay true to yourself, and learn to fucking swim.
#221 The Challenge Unplugged with Devin Walker
Q: If you get the call for season 42, are you saying yes?
Yes, 100 percent, and if people want to see me on there, they need to get motivated on socials and tag the Challenge.
#202 The Challenge All Stars 5 Rivals: EP 10 & 11 Roundtable Recap
Q: Did Nany and Turbo make the right move volunteering for elimination? Or did they risk everything for a star that they might have gotten another way?
Most agree that volunteering was not a smart move when they could have waited and potentially received a star later. However, it’s suggested that they might have been sent regardless due to house votes.
#202 The Challenge All Stars 5 Rivals: EP 10 & 11 Roundtable Recap
Q: Did Shane's decision to threaten the final of another competitor, especially Devon, fuck you, I'm not going to let you win any money? Do you think that's something he would really do?
While some believe Shane could act out of anger, there's a general consensus that after realizing how close he is to the final, he would decide to compete wholeheartedly rather than jeopardize his place.
#202 The Challenge All Stars 5 Rivals: EP 10 & 11 Roundtable Recap
Q: Do you think Shane was out of line in the way he treated Devon during this daily?
There are mixed opinions on whether Shane was mean or just intense. Multiple speakers recognize that his natural state can be aggressive but don't find his behavior too problematic overall, suggesting that editing may exaggerate certain moments.
