Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap and this week we are back in our natural habitats so expect some tomfoolery! This week your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina and Josh get together to recap MTV's The Challenge season 40 "Battle of the Eras" episode 6 "My Real Friends Era" but first, we kick off with a couple of stories about our trip to Detroit, what it was like recording at GOHT Media studios where The Zach Nichols Podcast is recorded, our adventures on a pedi-bike and Josh tells a hilarious story about his new Vespa (0:00 - 18:00). Then we break into the opening part of this episode and discuss the episode titling system for this season, what the point of this photo foreshadow was, are Laurel and Cara truly like big sister/little sister, did Jenny handle the situation with her team correctly, Nehemiah's gift to Jonna and does Jelly Belly have a new Banana flavor?! Next we break down the daily including our thoughts on Laurel and Cara's speeches to their team, whether or not Cara should have thrown the daily challenge and Derrick's resiliency! Next we crack into the nomination ceremony by discussing Josh and Jenny's decision to call a team meeting and then ignoring the points made in the meeting, Bananas exploiting Josh's emotions in nominations, Cory's speech game and what needed to happen in order for Josh to have the guts to do what he needed to do in this moment. We also discuss the highly disappointing club scene including Derrick Kosinski being knowledgeable about buildings around the world, Bananas attempt at dismantling Devin and Michele's relationship and whether or not it's okay to self nominate with conditions. Lastly we discuss the elimination including our overall thoughts on it, what our strategy would be and was this one of the "stupid things" Bananas would have been good at? We close out by discussing the overall gameplay, whether or not the target choosing order gives the newer eras an advantage, new target breakdown, what's missing on Season 40 that we were expecting, overall season ratings, episode grade and of course our MVPs and lines of the night! All this and even more now available on this 180th episode of The Challenge Fandom Podcast! Thank you all for your love and support these last 3 years, we can never tell you what it means to us!
