The Challenge on CBS, take two! This time around, no dating shows allowed, and damn near no Amazing Race allowed, in their place, it was an all out battle of Big Brother, Survivor, and MTV Vets vying to take home the title of USA 2 Champ and the properly explained $250,000 that came with it. Iconic seasons were played, redemption was had, Devin wasn’t there but his age old adage of Big Brother sucks definitely stood the test of time, Josh got emotional, Michele overpromised, Michaela avoided list making, TJ brought a hopper, eliminations got wacky, dailies got fair, Amanda played villain, Tori had a showmance, the whole house maybe actually had a tiny bit of fun that we actually got to see happen on our television screens? And in the end a mostly well produced final was ran and new champions crowned. That’s a lot to talk about, but recap it all one more time we must!
