The Challenge USA is back! At the tail end of a nearly 20 hour road trip this Challenge Historian pulls out the computer to give his thoughts (better late than never, right) on this premiere episode!

Michele and Josh take center stage, Bananas doesn't give the toast, Desi is the best, the Hopper is actually kind of cool, romances brewing, rivalries renewed, teams in shambles off the jump, and a whole bunch more worth talking about!
