  • 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.

  • What happened to this pod?

    I admittedly took some time off from podcasts all together, and came back around all stars season 4. This pod used to be a go to. Recently, this pod has changed a lot. Its become very bias towards certain cast mates, and really off-task when it comes to the challenge. I loved the format of friends coming together to talk a show they like. And I can imagine its hard to stay focused on challenge pods when theres just soo many episodes anymore and no real breaks between shows. But I really think th... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#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.
#200 Challengers Unplugged: Devin Walker Beyond The Edit
Q: Did that start on 40 or were you guys talking things through before you got onto the show?
Yeah, we had banged before 40.
#200 Challengers Unplugged: Devin Walker Beyond The Edit
Q: How's the brewery going?
We sold it. We sold it. We sold. So I still have a small percentage of ownership, but we sold the majority of it to a new hungry business owner that is that is making some really positive changes.
