Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick and Corrina. This week we are joined by a very special guest to break down this last episode of the regular season along with this double elimination - none other than the co-host of The Zach Nichols Podcast, Pierre! You all know him, you all love him and we're here to breakdown and recap CBS's The Challenge USA season 2 episode 13 "The Treason for the Season"! We kick off the episode discussing our overall thoughts of the episode and why we were most disappointed and then debating where Cassidy's rookie season ranks amongst those of the greatest. We also discuss whether avoiding elimination is good or bad gameplay, what we think Josh (and a lot of other Challengers) biggest social game flaw is, our thoughts on Josh needing this money for his family, whether or not Chanelle has earned her spot in TJ's final, what happened with Michaela's time and how to fix this horrendously ran daily challenge, how nominations might have changed had Tori won the daily, and under what circumstances do we think Josh could both finish and WIN a final? (0:00 - 36:15). Last we break into the nomination ceremony and discuss why this was the perfect time for Chris to take his revenge on Faysal, our thoughts on Josh swearing on his deceased family members and what he should have done instead, the Tori/Cory/Faysal deal and is Faysal incapable of separating the game from real life or was he just gaslighting and manipulating Josh? We also discuss why we think Faysal was so scared to go into a physical elimination against Cory but says he could beat CT in a Hall Brawl, whether or not bigger equals winner in Hall Brawl and why in the world does Josh always tell on himself?! Lastly we discuss how we feel about the possibility of The Hopper returning in future seasons, Bananas reaction to Tori announcing she had to vote for Josh, how quickly The Challenge Gods worked their Karma on this night, why we think Cory would have ultimately lost this elimination had he been pulled from The Hopper, how we would have changed the puzzle addition to the elimination plus Rick gives us some insider information coming from a former Challenger who told us why Hall Brawl is being changed so drastically lately. Also, did Faysal hold back because it was Josh or did he underestimate Josh's ability in the hall? Would we like to see Cassidy return on another season? What don't we want to see in the final and, of course, who does Pierre want to see win this season PLUS Pierre makes an announcement about an upcoming interview on his podcast! (36:15 - END). Check it all out and make sure you go follow Pierre, GOHT Media and The Zach Nichols Podcast!
