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.
