Challenged: A Podcast About Mtv's The Challenge

Pizzagate isn't just a weird alt-right conspiracy theory. It's also an episode of The Challenge, where Brad comes back as his intense, passionate self and starts a half-million dollar fight over pizza. Was it worth it? We get trivia and a food challenge combined, and a Challenger tries his best to redeem himself and win for his team.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 our goal this time around to make sure our recaps take less time than watching the actual episode. Do we succeed? Hell yes. We always do. We see a pathetic showing of an elimination and get some real-time behind the scenes about the elimination. We also see some of the very worst politicking in the history of The Challenge. We leave on yet another cliffhanger of an Inquisition. Who will the Troika end up sending in?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

Well, we finally made it to the end of Champs vs. Stars. This poor show got lost in the other Challenge mayhem, overlapping the end of Dirty Thirty and the beginning of Vendettas. So far, the Champs have swept the series. Will that continue, or will the Stars actually win something? This also ends our double-coverage of episodes, thankfully.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

What in the world is a troika? And how do you pronouce it? We finally get some details on how this game works, including the troika, the inquisition, and the Ring. But what is the grenade and how is it used? I guess we figure it out eventually.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

Our coverage of Champs vs. Stars has been demoted to a short aftershow in the wake of Vendettas. This week we cover the purge in the swimming challenge and at least some of the Challengers who are on their way to the final next 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 super-ultra long episode of Challenged to accompany the premiere of Vendettas. We love seeing midlife crisis Brad, as well as the new Challengers from other random shows in the US and UK. We haveto intro a bunch of newbies to this insane game and see how the vets fit into the equation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

The Champs are heading for a shutout clean sweep, but can the Stars stop them? Are alliances strong enough to withstand a vote that may not go as intended? This episode is all about strength. Who is the strongest player, but more importantly, the strongest team?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

Challenged was fortunate enough to meet all the Challengers in Yorkville at the first event for Throwdown for the Cause. In this episode we talk about the event and our experiences in meeting Bananas, Cara Maria, Brad, Kelly Anne, Britni, Derrick, Zach, Jenna and Kyle. The Throwdown tour is coming to a town near you, so we definitely recommend going.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

ZACH ATTACK IS BACK. We have a special guest host standing up for Bananas during the conflict with Bananas vs. Wes. The group plays human foosball and of course can't do anything without major conflicts.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 attended the Throwdown for the Cause in Yorkville, Illinois and had the fortune of meeting many Challengers. Unfortunately we had little luck in getting interviews, but Kelly Anne and Britni were nice enough to spend a little time chatting with us. Thank you to Kelly Anne and Britni! We did meet some other Challengers and put a bug in their ears for interviews, so we'll follow up and try to get more interviews later.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

Hashtag BringHillaryBack2017 worked, and Hillary joins us. We get a new Challenger entering the game to replace the many who had to leave. An alliance breaks out on the Stars team, but do they have the numbers to change the game? Will the Stars finally break their losing streak? And will Riff Raff regain his memory?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

In this special bonus episode of Challenged Bryan plays a game show with his other co-hosts called DID CT SAY IT?  He reads off 15 quotes in his best CT voice and the others have to say if it's a quote from CT or did another Challenge member say it.  Lots of fun was had.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

The contestants are dropping like flies and it seems like everyone wants to go into elimination. Drama drama everywhere on the stars team, including a bodyguard who can't tell if an injury is an accident or not.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 got a whole episode, but the only thing that matters is the CT vs TO fight. Also Jenna fought the floor and lost. The crew plays some parkour and some dodgeball at the same time.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

Will we ever get a break from The Challenge? Maybe not. But this season is shaping up to be one of the best, despite only being a "mini season". We get drama, a challenge, nomination and an elimination… all in one episode. Also, someone goes nuts. Good times.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

Ugh, we made it. Finally. We recap the finale. It was fine. It was boring. It's the end.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 been a long season, but we made it. Finally. Well, sorta. We're not going to know who wins until next week, but that doesn't stop us from speculating this time around. Also, meet us (and some Challenge people) in Yorkville, IL next month.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 finally get all the challengers eliminated down to the final 6.  Does #TeamHunny have a representative in the final?  Also we switch locations, an injury could take a finalist out of the race, and we place some sticks and stones.  Mainly just stones.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/challenged-a-podcast-about-the-challenge-on-cbs-mtv-and-paramount--3392015/support.

The big twist is finally revealed. We see a Redemption Challenge which is supposed to be the last, but c'mon, you can't fool us. We get to see our first couple finalists, and we fall out of love with one of our favorite challengers while falling in love with some of the rookies.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 crybaby episode part two, but things are heating up and people are quickly heading to the Redemption House. The Challenge may have been lackluster, but the elimination was intense and crazy. We're winding down this season and are excited to see how these alliances have shaken 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.
