Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of The Challenge 40 with the ORIGINAL Roundtable Recap. This week we've got the whole team here to break things down so buckle in for some wild conversations, debates that get a ltitle too heated considering the topic and of course plenty of laughs that'll leave you clutching at your belly. We kick off with a 16 minute introduction portion. There is a lot of Challenge talk in this segment but if you'd like to skip it, go to 16:03. In the intro we discuss plans for the podcast through the holiday season, why we don't do tiktok trends, what we know about the Challenge 40 EP 17 air schedule along with the All Stars 5 sneak peak. Lastly we discuss some Challenge dreams we've had and why does Corrina have a specific favorite Challenge dream? Once we break into the episode we start off by discussing Challenge re-runs, how we plan to help our Canadian friends finish Season 40 even after MTV turns the lights out in Canada, episode grades, how we interpreted the opening foreshadow scene and is Derek really floating through the season? Next we breakdown the daily including the final resting place of the flame-broiled cars, Jordan's impressive swim, Cara and Rachel's different approaches to the game, how important swim training for The Challenge truly is and of course, we discuss Kyland's newfound weakness in his game. Next we break into the after daily portion of the episode and debate the ranking of Burger King on our lists of favored fast foot chains, how we are feeling about a new development in Cory's character arc, our views on Jenny's incredibly dark sense of humor and is is possible to psyche out someone like Kyland who lives day to day with the Goku Mentality?! We also debate whether or not we think there should be an elimination or purge round in the final, Cory's call home to both Taylor and Cheyenne and of course, did Jenny have a right to be upset by Derek's refusal to allow her to cash her favor check? To close out the show we have a beautiful segment brought to you by one of our main co-hosts Katie regarding suicide prevention with a ton of helpful resources and things you can do to help yourself or a loved one struggling. We also discuss Derek's openness on the show, the beautiful celebration that Tori, Michele and Cara set up for Derek and his sister, and why we are perfectly okay with Cara self-nominating at this point. Finally we give a brief breakdown to the elimination, make guesses at where the cast will be relocating for the final daily, final elilmination and then to run the final of the season! All this and so much more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast's 190th episode recapping MTV's The Challenge Season 40 "Battle of the Eraa" episode 17 "Must Win Era".
