  • #171 The Challenge All Stars 4 EP10 Roundtable Recap: It Was A Good Jay... RIP Gus Gus
    Jun 11 2024

    Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Katie and Alexis. This week we got together to chat about The Challenge All Stars 4 EP10 "It Was A Good Jay" but we kept getting sidetracked and ended up spending half the episode talking about a bunch of other things too and had way too many laughs LOL

    ***WARNING: AS4 EP10 Recap does not START until 41:20***

    If you are looking for strictly Challenge content, we discuss Kam and Cara's individual interviews at 11:30 - 20:05.

    If you're open for it all, we have a great time on this episode and you even get to meet Katie's alter ego LOL!

    Once we break into The All Stars 4 EP10 recap we start by discussing why this title disappointed us, how Cara can sometimes come off very tone deaf, and we make a couple of early episode PINS that a lot of fans seem to be overlooking for some reason.

    Next we break down the daily, how we felt about the winner celebration and we add another important PIN right here with how the final middle group was made on the field. Once we move into deliberations we discuss Ryan changing his mind about going into elimination to get his star, Steve attempting to conspire behind Adam and Leroy's back to save his own star, why we feel a lot of fans couldn't handle the old challenge no matter how much they scream that they want it and is All Stars 4 starting to become overproduced like the flagship? Next we break into nominations and Corrina explains why she doesn't think Adam did anything wrong in this vote and everyone discusses our feelings on Ace. Finally we close out the episode with a discussion about our feelings on the elimination, whether or not Jay should have gone down or stayed out, the different strategic approaches to this elimination, Adam's confessional, next episode predictions, MVP's, Lines of the Night and so much more.

    We truly hope you enjoy this episode! We had a great time making it and as much as we needed this light recap episode full of laughs, we hope it makes some of you laugh as well.

  • #170 The Challenge All Stars 4 EP9 Roundtable Recap: Waiting For A Star To Fall.. An Indomitable Force
    Jun 3 2024

    Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast host team Rick, Corrina, Tony and Katie. Plus this week we are joined by our good friend over at Challenge Historian podcast - Jacob Hollabaugh! This week we are here to breakdown The Challenge All Stars 4 EP9 "Waiting For A Star To Fall". We kick off with a little BSing intro per usual so if you'd like to skip right to The Challenge, go to around 13:30 minutes. When we break into the episode we discuss everything from Cara giving us a new Nelsonism, good episode title themed seasons, Kam's forced speech at the pool party, Cara vs Nicole at the Gym, whether or not Nicole has always played this paranoid and Cara promises Kam she's done coming after her for this season. Then we break down the daily including which Challenger surprised us most, what we would have liked to see changed to make this daily perfect, our thoughts on Kam quitting and Corrina gives another emotional statement regarding post partum anxiety and how debilitating it can be on a mother, no matter how far along in their motherhood they are. Next we discuss whether Nicole just sucks or if she actually threw this daily, who we'd like to see in and out of this final, Laurel and Kam's deal and did Laurel really ever intend to go in or was this some master plan from the jump? We also break down the nomination ceremony including Jay finally choosing a side, whether or not production plays with edit cut times when someone is making a decision, our thoughts on this whole elimination setup, how we felt about Kam telling the whole house what Laurel is up to, Corrina's prediction for the final daily challenge of the season, whether we prefer one or two part finales, how we felt about Laurel declining the elimination, MVP's, AS5 Cast warning and so much more! We had such a good time sitting down with The Challenge Historian and breaking down this episode of The Challenge All Stars 4.

  • #169 The Challenge All Stars 4 EP8 Roundtable Recap: The Queens Gambit... You Need Subtitles!
    May 28 2024

    Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Katie, Tony and Alexis! This week we got together to break down the most recent episode of The Challenge All Stars 4 EP 8: The Queen Gambit.

    If you're looking to skip our BSing, go to 13:42.

    We kick off by discussing the most important piece of this episode that not a lot of people have caught on to: The horrendous chop job they did to the edit of this episode in which they showed us scenes out of order and out of context. So we try to break it all down for you on how it logically could have gone. Then we break into the boat day, whether or not they have phones or go-pros, swimming in the cape, production's trickiness, Laurel and Cara's vulnerable talk, the daily, Kam's master plan, and could Ace and Jay have helped Cara? We then break into whether or not this game strategy was bullying, who would win in a fight Cara or Nicole, Leroy's strategy for Kam's elimination opponent, and why did Laurel take such offense to Veronica trying to make a game move? Next we break down Cara's attempts at negotiation with Nicole during nominations, the big fight, why you should never attempt to "help" your friend in a toxic situation in this manner, why we think Cara should have known better and this wasn't just her being a good friend, Averey refusing this elimination and losing the chance to make a historic move in this season, why we love seeing Cara as the underdog the most, lines of the night, MVPs and much more. We truly had a great time breaking down this episode and we hope you all enjoy it too!

  • #168 The Challenge All Stars 4 EP7 Roundtable Recap: Catch A Falling Star Or Else You'll Get Jerked Off...
    May 21 2024

    Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Katie. This week we are doing our obligatory mid-season breakdown with one of your guys' favorite guest hosts, Alex Brizard from Netflix's The Circle and co-host of his own podcast Two Dudes Watch Cartoons. This was such a perfect episode to do a mid season breakdown on and we truly hope you all enjoy this episode! We skipped our normal 20 minutes of BSing intro, so feel free to push play and enjoy the show from start to finish! Remember, we are better on YouTube :)

    On this episode we kick off by talking about our overall feelings on the format of the game, discuss the possibility of Challengers throwing dailies to get a shot at a star, what we think the biggest problem is with this show (hint: it's the same issue they have every season on every version of this show...), whether or not it makes a difference for trivia to be dangerous, Ryan's sobriety and Veronica's top tier social game play. Then we break down this trivia challenge including what we did and didn't like about it, discuss previous trivia challenges with dangerous jerk-offs, whether or not we prefer 3 strikes and you're out or one and done for trivia and what the heck were these questions?! Then we break down how casting has changed over the years and what we'd like to see moving forward, Adam taking control over his own game, and what is this unwritten nominations rule? We also debate whether Laurel will ever be given a chance to get a star without coming in 1st place and putting herself into the sand, shocking votes at the nomination ceremony, our thoughts on this elimination plus how they could have made it better, Ace's whole missed opportunity to protect his star, mid season winner picks, MVP's, Lines of the Nights and so much more! All this and more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast on this collaboration recap with Alex from Netflix's The Circle and Two Dudes Watch Cartoons.

    Make sure you check us out on YouTube, subscribe and all that fun stuff and then go do the same for Alex.

  • #167 The Challenge All Stars 4 EP6 Roundtable Recap: Karma Maria... BBL DRRRIIIZZZAAAYYY!
    May 14 2024

    Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh, Tony, Katie and Alexis! That's right we are all on this week and it's a special week... well, not really. But Corrina and Katie turned it into a special week complete with a couple glasses of wine and some fireworks mid-show! Make sure you don't miss it!

    We kick off with a bunch of BS that has nearly no relation to what we're supposed to be talking about. If you don't like it, skip to 30:55. Then we break into the show discussing Cara's skills at planting seeds, Ryan playing both sides, Steve The Hand Job Model's Bulgarian Bag, whether or not 30 seconds was an advantage worth all that running, why Rick does not like the dailies this season, Cara realizing how much of a social threat Jasmine truly is in this game and of course, Kam's approach to trying to get voted in. Next we break down the nomination ceremony and I will give you all a heads up, it gets a bit heated but remember - if we can argue and disagree the way we do but still love each other and be friends afterwards, you guys can too :) To close out the episode we discuss what we think would have improved this elimination ceremony, why Nicole is one of the most unbearable Challenge players ever, who we had thought would win between Kefla and Steve, star swapping and of course TRIVIA next week baby!

  • #166 The Challenge All Stars 4 EP5 Roundtable Recap: The Way You Make Me Steal... Easter Eggs!
    May 8 2024

    Hey Fandom! Sorry for this extremely late one and thank you in advance to those who still take the time to listen through. We weren't sure if we were going to release this episode to start with so that delayed us a bit and once we decided to release it, it's just been a string of problems since the start. That being said, on this episode Rick, Corrina, Tony, Katie and Alexis get together to *kind of* talk about The Challenge All Stars 4 episode 5 titled "The Way You Make Me Steal". We had a tough time staying on track during this episode and ended up BSing for half the episode and then casually chatting about the episode for the other half. If you'd like to start and just hear what our thoughts were about what happened on episode 5 skip to around 33:00.

    To kick off we discuss a variety of other topics such as Kendrick Lamar VS Aubrey Graham aka "Drake", Deadpool and Wolverine, how much times have changed since we were kids, millennial throwbacks and so much more I won't bore you with by putting it into writing. Once we start recapping The Challenge All Stars 4 we discuss everything that happened on the episode to some extent but we also discussed some very important things such as Leroy discussing men's post-partum depression, our debates on what's going on with Laurel and Nicole, why All Stars reigns supreme over the flagship and all the other spin offs, why we still don't blame Brandon for his decision on episode 4, why we hated this daily format so much, how we feel about Cara attempting to take a final away from Leroy again, whether or not it's okay to have sex in the same room that other people are sleeping in, why we think Cara made several bad decisions this week and why was Leroy's strategy so much more effective in elimination than Brandon's? All that and so much more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast.

    Thank you very much to those of you who have been patient with us over the last season and start of this one while we get all these moving facets of our business locked down. We cannot tell you all what the support means to us and we are definitely getting back on track and we are just grateful for those who have stuck it out with us.

    Don't forget to check out our merch line! We will be dropping new designs for the summer and we've got a sale coming up soon!

  • #165 The Challenge All Stars 4 EP4 Roundtable Recap: Stargets...This Might Be The Worst Title Ever
    Apr 30 2024

    Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of The Challenge All Stars 4 Roundtable Recaps with your Challenge Fandom Podcast Hosts Rick, Corrina, Katie, Josh and a special guest, Talik from Mental Health Check-In with Talik. Join us as we break down The Challenge All Stars 4 episode 4 "Stargets". We kick off the episode with a little BSing session so if you'd like to skip directly to the recap, start the show around 10:00. After that we kick off the show by discussing some foreshadowing mistakes, Nicole stirring the pot between Kam and Cara, how Cara could have avoided all this noise with Kam and do the fans REALLY want OG Challenges to come back?! Next we move into breaking down this incredibly ridiculous daily challenge and by break it down, I mean we made jokes and talked about who won since there wasn't much to say about this daily mission. Next we move into how Nicole was never brought up for nominations, Kam attempts to shoot down Cara, Brandon makes a power move early in the game, how horrendous Tina's social game truly is, Cara flipping out over being treated how she portrays herself, friends vs game vs alliances and can they all co-exist and of course, Queen Rachel gives everyone a lesson on what it means to accept being the strong target you are! We close out the show by discussing Cara's star reassignment and what we think would have been a better choice and we also discuss better strategies for this elimination along with what we are looking forward to most with Cara's game this season. All this and more now on The Challenge Fandom Podcast!

  • #164 The Challenge All Stars 4 EP3 Roundtable Recap: True Colors... DOMINOES MOTHERFUCKER!
    Apr 22 2024

    Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Katie. This week we got together to talk about The Challenge All Stars 4 EP3 "True Colors" and breakdown all the highs and lows of the episode... if you can call any of episode 3 a "low"! We start off with a little BSing intro so if you'd like to skip that, go to 8:05. We breakdown the previous elimination winner getting to recap the previous episode, Kam and Leroy having a phone of photos in the house, Tony Time expiring, the hot and cold couple Laurel and Nicole, how we felt about Syrus coming into the game and what do you prefer: when they choose their own partners or when their partners are randomly chosen for them? We also discuss the hottest new couple to come out of All Stars 4 (do you know who it is?!), talk about the last time the three girls were all up for elimination at the same time, why Leroy seems to be struggling with his competition side this season and Flora schemes with Brandon to spread around a bit of information they overheard at the end of the daily. We breakdown what Ayanna said, Laurel's approach to investigating the situation, Kam confronting Ayanna and how do you feel when people get overly defensive over things like this? We also discuss why we believe there are more double eliminations on their way, how we felt about Kam's nomination ceremony, the different POV's on alliances and how they should work, Kefla's incredible first elimination win, Rachel proving why endurance is still one of the most important aspects of this game, a fun hypothetical given to us by Rick and did Rachel make a smart move or a scared move? All this plus MVP's lines of the night and so much more now on The Challenge Fandom Podcast!
