#156 Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit with Xavier Prather

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged where we take you beyond the edit with some of your favorite reality stars. For this episode we are joined by Big Brother 23 winner, co-creator of The Cookout, contestant on The Challenge USA 1 and overall awesome human being, Xavier Prather. Fair warning - We recorded this episode in September of 2023. We had to hold the episode for some time due to things that Xavier would potentially be working on however things just kept getting pushed back so we decided to release it. When recording this episode, we had very bad connection and therefore we are unable to process video with this episode. We hope you all understand. We kick off the episode by talking to Xavier about getting older while remaining athletic, how his recent injuries were healing up and did he always want to play basketball? He leads us through the story of injuring his ACL and getting surgery to repair it, how he became a lawyer, why he decided to go on reality TV and what was it like getting out of work for 3 months as a lawyer? Then we break into his time on Big Brother including whether or not The Cookout was a preconceived idea before going into the house, how he felt about the team aspect on that season, what it was like voting off Alyssa, why he decided to get Tiffany and Kyland out immediately and which Big Brother players does Xavier think could make the jump to The Challenge? Next we break into his current standings with Kyland, his time featuring on The Bold and The Beautiful, what it was like being part of history on Big Brother, why he chose to go onto The Challenge, how he felt about so many members of BB23 being cast on the same season of The Challenge, Alyssa taking revenge shots at him on The Challenge USA 1 and where does he sit in his relationships with other cast members from BB23? Next we break into his time ending on The Challenge USA so quickly including whether or not he regrets breaking the glass during his elimination that sent him home, what the most frustrating daily challenge was, whether he'd ever even consider coming back on the show or on the flagship, how he felt about the partnered eliminations, and does he watch any reality TV now? We also have some fun debates about hypothetical elimination situations and which elimination he'd choose against which Challenge GOAT, who he would choose in a Prime CT VS Prime Faysal Hall Brawl elimination, what the stipulations are to him ever doing Big Brother again, and how does a competitor like Xavier feel about the entertainment factor in competition reality games like The Challenge and Big Brother? Lastly, we wrap the episode up by discussing whether he was called for USA 2, whether he'd ever consider doing a show like Traitors or Amazing Race, his Male and Female Mt Rushmore updates and what does your drink of choice say about your in the club?
