I'm earning my stripes as a true Challenge Historian by rewatching and recapping every single season! We are on to season 5, Battle of the Seasons, a monumental season in Challenge history as so much evolution takes place and so many Challenge legends begin making their mark! On the pod I cover:

The state of The Challenge franchise heading into season 5 and the evolutions in show and game that would take place throughout the season (04:34).

A rundown of all the major storylines that shaped the season including Hurricane Juliette, everyone agreeing to pay everyone, Road Rules early physical dominance, the married couple getting targeted, Mike becoming The Miz and a bunch more (19:50).

What aged the best and what aged the worst from this season, plus were there any warts (42:01).

Awards for Best Quote (54:27), Best Moment (01:03:33), Best Athletic Accomplishment (01:10:17), Best Daily Challenge (01:14:52), Best Episode (1:16:42).

And of course, we hand out the Season MVP award in a very crowded and worthy field of candidates, and then cap it all off by giving the season it's final grade to place it in the annals of Challenge History (01:17:30).
