Six months ago the monumental 40th season of The Challenge kicked off. Now, a few weeks after it has ended, and as we watch a new All Stars season commence, we take one final look back at how things shook out for Battle of the Eras.

Before getting to the season recap and awards, I dive into The State of The Challenge (or kind of the state of my fandom and all Challenge fandom really) and cover why the show is where it is and a bit of how it can get back on track. If that doesn't sound interesting, then use the timestamps to skip to the season recap.

Then I start the season recap with a list of things I loved, liked, thought worked out, thought didn't work out, and things that just flat out didn't work or they got wrong. Following that we've got the awards (quote, moment, elimination, etc) and of course hand out the coveted season MVP. Finally, the season grade and where it stacks up all time.

Thanks as always for tuning in. Subscribe, comment, rate, review and all that good stuff. DMs are open on Instagram @ChallengeHistorian.
