Challenged: A Podcast About Mtv's The Challenge

Challenge Throwdown Events ended with a whimper. In this "very special" episode of Challenged we talk about Grunt Guy, the organizer of the Challenge Throwdown events and cover recent drama related to the events, tossing out personal stories about the events from our perspective. Don't lose any sleep over the terrible events, they're over now.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

Drama drama everywhere. This episode draws some lines in the sand between Challengers we like and Challengers we can barely tolerate. The eating challenge ends in a predictable way, and a pair end up in Redemption to make amends. That goes about as well as you'd expect it to go in a reality show fueled by booze and anger. Back in the main house, we see other fights, more drama and more people who we've decided to hate. No nominations, no voting and of course no eliminations this episode. C'mon MTV.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

*ch ch* REDEMPTION HOUSE. This week is all about the Redemption House and the Apocalypse that actually sends people home for once! CT tries his best to stay in the game, but maybe not as hard as Derrick tries. At this stage in the game, I guess you have to give it your best shot to stay in. They're battling for a million bucks after all. *ch ch* MAIN HOUSE. No real elimination from the main house so it's a bit laid back, but we end the episode with an eating challenge which is our favorite. Lots of puking and lots of fun! We go way off topic this week, which once guy on iTunes hates. So it goes.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

We interrupt this regular podcast feed for an episode of Couch Pilots! Wolfie and Tim join the flight as the regular pilots review Boise Brothers, a failed pilot put together by Challenge contestants Abram and Mike to hopefully sell MTV on a reality show. The pilot failed, obviously, but that doesn't stop us from talking about it.

It's guy's night, so grab your whiskey and cowboy hat and leave the women at home. We're super efficient as we recap this episode but still cover a lot of ground. A nomination, a desperate Banana, a crazy elimination and a dramatic re-enactment of Paulie's tweets that will hopefully make you hate him more than you already do. Also, how about a little back story on that Semester at Sea sweatshirt this episode? C'mon MTV, you can do better.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

Eight episodes in and I have a very important question: Will anyone ever be sent home? The mercenaries play for a spot in the house, but let's be honest… they're getting into the game either way because if they lose, it's Redemption House time. We see Kyle slutting it up, drama at a winery, drama in a bus, drama at home, and a salad bowl with lasers shooting out of it. Shane has a strategy in the rugby game, but will it work and is it worth it?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

Killer Queen Kam is the lady with the plan in this episode, but c'mon MTV, are you ever gonna send anyone home? We see the Challengers dig out of a mine, a relationship between Tori and Derrick comes to a head, and Brad finally blinks.

We're not thrilled about the pace of this season, but we'll keep bringing you the latest 'cause we love you. Too much drama up in here, too many relationships to follow, and too many people throwing hissy fits. But it's ok. We see a challenge on a train, we see Brad throw fits, Cara throw fits, Kyle throw fits, Shane throw fits… Are we seeing a pattern. Also, some roosters invade the hen house.

Poor Brad deals with the bad news from the Redemption House, while the rest of the Challengers prepare for a Purge Challenge. We get relationship drama we don't care about, team drama we're too old for, and reminisce of the days when we used to get a challenge and an elimination in one week.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

It's a shorter episode tonight due to an oncoming illness, but at least we have NyQuil is if beer isn't on the menu. Of course we cover Paulie and the silly fight, Brad's reaction to potential infidelity, and the process to get back into the house after you're in Redemption. Four episodes in and we're still learning how the game works and very few have been sent home. Brace yourselves for a long season everyone. We're just getting warmed up.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.
