Ali and Logan are back to discuss episode 5 of Challenge: All Stars including the continued amazing friendship between Beth and Syrus, the editors hyping up Alton before his collapse during the daily, Jemmye always thinking with her big brain, Kendal consistently proving to be one of the best competitors there, the budding romance between Alton and Jisela, and we were lucky enough to be joined by Eduardo as our 'Elimination Expert' this week to break down the deliberation, the inexcusable burn votes, TJ's major twist with no lifesavers, and if there was a different strategy Beth and Syrus could have used to make the elimination a little closer.

Ali and Logan are back discussing the last 2 episodes of Challenge: All Stars! We start with the 'Butts Melting Massive Ice Block' daily Challenge, which Logan has patiently waited years to return, before TJ just gave them hammers to smash it with, what went down in the close race between Teck and Nehemiah in last weeks elimination before jumping into episode 4 and all the drama from Kendal having the whole house pressed, Mark holding court as this weeks lifesaver, who performed the best in the daily, and ALL the behind the scenes drama that happened with Arissa and what truly set her off before quitting the elimination against Beth.

From Road Rules: The Quest, Jisela Delgado joined Ali and Logan to chat about how she got into reality tv, her expectations with Challenge: All Stars, dealing with trolls on social media, how her post-reality tv career helped develop her leadership skills, how scary the cold water really was on the first challenge, and dealing with body image in a public setting.

Logan and Ali are back to discuss episode 2 of Challenge All Stars covering all the drama between Trishelle and Katie, Kendal being a total badass despite not falling during the daily and getting immediately targeted, the big moment between Trishelle and Aneesa and how Aneesa represents the history of MTV standing up for social issues, who crushed the trivia challenge, and another classic Knot So Fast elimination!
