Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Alexis of The Challenge Fandom Podcast. This week we decided to end the Chaos section of MTV's The Challenge 39 "Battle for a New Champion" by bringing in one of our favorite returning guests, Alex Brizard from Netflix's The Circle and the highly successful podcast, Two Dudes Watch Cartoons. We break right into an overall recap of whether or not we think this is the worst season ever, why no one going home the last few weeks is actually a good thing, some of our least favorite worst season titles, and of course we get Alex's opinion on the Mercenaries and their eliminations this season. We also discuss Asaf's interview, how we feel about the single winner format, whether or not we believe Olivia was being gaslit by more than just Jay, and how does everyone feel about this mini final? (0:00 - 59:01). In part 2 we break down Jay's reaction to the social climate in the house, whether or not CT has ever NOT been a Mercenary when they have them, Horacio shutting down Michele in the club and is Kyland and Horacio an unbeatable combination in the game? Next we break down who we each think is winning at this point, and discuss what we like and don't like about this format before we break into nominations. We discuss how this may be the turning point of the season, whether or not we think the "Really Fits" alliance can compete socially with the US alliance, did Jay know that CT was coming and how did we feel about CT not picking Jay for the elimination? To wrap it all up we discuss Ed's power play, CT's epic entrance, how we feel about him choosing Asaf, elimination feedback, who we'd like to see become a mainstay from this season, S40 format predictions, MVP's and so much more! All this and more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast!
