Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Katie and Josh of The Challenge Fandom Podcast. This week we sat down to recap and debate part 1 of MTV's The Challenge season 39 "Battle for a New Champion" EP 18. We kick off the episode welcoming Josh back and BSing a little (0:00 - 8:57). Then we break into the episode by discussing why we think this season has felt so long, how we felt about TJ announcing to the cast that they had made the final, our thoughts on the letters from home, and will the winner of this season deserve it? We also discuss whether Corey should have let Jay take the orange ropes, how Moriah could have possibly missed the rope on her journey back to the puzzle and what is everyone's thoughts on first place not losing money even when second and third do? After our short break we debate whether or not Corey picking Jay for the elimination was a surprise, how we felt about Jay's speech to Nurys, who we think has been the best partner throughout this final and should the boxes in stage 3 of the Chaos portion been weight proportionate? Lastly we break down the eating portion of the final and discuss how we would personally approach the eye ball, which foods on The Challenge would immediately send us home, who do we think Emanuel will choose for the final elimination before the Conquest section of the final begins and how does everyone think the 2nd elimination contender will be chosen? Plus we have a fun discussion on what we miss most from finals, so make sure you come join us on Instagram to finish the discussion! All this and more now available here on The Challenge Fandom Podcast.
