  • Favorite Challenge Podcast!

    This is my favorite challenge podcast. Jacob gives the best challenge insight and gives a lot of backstory of what the challenge was in the past seasons if you have not been watching since the beginning. I know only exclusively listen to this podcast for The challenge recaps and reviews.

    Thanks Jacob for doing this podcast.

  • Season 40

    Love the pod but saying Horacio is a big loss if he doesn’t come back is ridiculous! The dude adds nothing to the show! Hasn’t even spoken out but has his girlfriend going crazy on Twitter like she had a front row seat to the elimination. I’ll be happy to never see either of them again
