Was it the toughest final? Probably not. Did it test these challengers, yes. Do we think that second tier contestants from the flagship could have easily completed TJ's final... absolutely.   That being said, it was still a pretty decent final. 

There's a lot to break down in this episode and we're going to get right into it.

Holy sh*t, what a great episode!

This is a really solid episode of The Challenge. First off, it's trivia, which is not only TJ's favorite but ours as well. Second, there's a major play made going into elimination that has some people questioning their loyalty to their alliance.

Jay was in Nashville last week for a softball tournament, but this week we put the band back together to discuss this episode of The Challenge USA.

As a longtime Challenge fan I give this Final a C+. That doesn't mean that I hated it though. In fact I loved it. I'm solo this week cause Jay is in Nashville for a National Softball tournament. Super nervous, but we're going to get this done because if you didn't know, I love the Challenge.
