Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Katie! Plus, since we're halfway through the season, we have our midseason special guest Alex Brizard here to break down everything from this episode and the highlight moments this season leading up to it. We kick off with a quick intro period where we celebrate Halloween and Katie's 9 year wedding anniversary plus we give our overview of the episode (0:00 - 9:45). Once we break into the actual recap, we cover everything from how Johnny Bananas and Tori Deal feel like they're flipping game styles this season, who is the new era face of this show, why Bananas didn't pick Cara Maria and how we felt about Kyland going toe to toe with Bananas. Next we break down Banana's gameplay over the last 5 seasons and debate whether or not Bananas had another other choice of action other than what transpired on this episode of Challenge 40. We also break the daily down including the odd choices for editing, how we felt about the DQ scenarios, Theo's fall from grace and are Cara and Tori living the same Challenge arc? Next we break down the entire club scene including behind the scenes information we were able to obtain from Challenge friends that were on location for the debacle as well as how we feel about Michele and Olivia's approaches to this game, respectively. We also breakdown Bananas attempt to blow the house up and debate how much effect it will have on the people he was aiming for VS how much effect it may have on him. Next we debate whether or not Laurel would have Bananas or Jordan's back if it came down to it, who we think is playing the best overall game right now, how we felt about Jenny's punishment for Era 4 girls, Nia confronting Jordan and of course we give our thoughts on this elimination setup. We also breakdown the strategies behind each side of the sand and debate what our own approaches to this game would be. To close everything out we discuss why we feel Kyland is so taylor made for this show, Michele in dailies VS Michele in eliminations, how we feel about these targets that will most likely be wasted on next episode's purge, predictions for Karma Points, MVPs and winner predictions. All this and so much more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast. Huge thank you to Alex Brizard from Netflix's The Circle and the wildly popular podcast Two Dudes Watch Cartoons. It's always a pleasure breaking down this show and getting your insights!
