The Perfect Match Podcast: An Are You The One & The Challenge on MTV Podcast

Rand, Reg, and Jimmy talk about the 7th episode of War of the Worlds, touching on the UK Alliance and how much of a threat it poses, an aside on how to still listen to MJ, the use of VR in future challenges, Bear's chirping and manipulating, his future on the show, Josh arguing with Ashley, and the full splits he achieves.  Lastly we give out our game ball, air ball, and plant any new flags before Jimmy quickly recaps Wes's appearance on Challenge Mania.

Keep the tweets comin, we appreciate the love and the feedback! @PerfectMatchPod

Rand, Reg, and Jimmy give you the weekly breakdown of The Challenge: War of the Worlds, touching on the intensity of this Mad Maxian challenge; Shaleen's struggles; and Kyle's improbable performances. (51:30) We close our with our game ball/air ball of the week and "Plant Our Flags" for the rest of the season.  [Prod note, the last 30 min are pretty good in our opinions :)]

So our attempt at a cold open maybe doesn't go as smoothly as planned...but hey, there's a first for everything!  This season is so good, we fear we've gotten complacent.  We talk about Turbo's charm, the grueling challenge, Paula Marie, Bear's outrage, and Zach's decision making.  We end with our game balls and air balls, and read your tweets!

While we weren't planning on podding this week, we HAD to jump on after THAT ENDING.  Rand and Reg organize an Emergency pod to react to the double-elimination, what it means for the future of a certain Challenger, and declare that Paulie and Kyle are actual wild rams.

In a bit of a switch up from our usual weekly Challenge pods, we introduce our new series of rewatching old seasons.  Starting with Rivals II, we plan on releasing bonus monthly pods recapping these seasons.  To introduce this new series, we discuss some of our most notable challenge moments, such as Rachel Robinson climbing up the bag, Big Easy on Gauntlet II, Wes's gameplan falling apart in Exes II, CT vs Bananas in a puzzle, and Brad outwitting Landon.

We plan on releasing our Rivals II recap in 2 weeks! So if you wanna watch along, make sure you're all caught up by then!

Rand and Reg are joined by Anth & Drew! (No Jimmy, unfortunately). We banter about actual nonsense for the first 15 minutes but then get down to business with the big elimination of the night. We attempt to break down Johnny's reasoning, Zach's "airball", and finish the pod with a small mock draft and our Game Balls and Air Balls of the week.

The PACING!!! For the first time in seemingly years, the Challenge producers provided us with a daily and an elimination...in the SAME Episode!  Rand, Reg, and Jimmy talk about recoloring the tug of war ropes, Bananas prevailing, Hunter's breakdown, Zach's panic attack, and Leroy just generally being the man.  Lastly we give our "ghosts of challenges past" and hand out our game balls and air balls of the week.

We're Back!!! TJ promised us one of the most badass seasons ever, so we're hoppin back on the Challenge bandwagon.  Reg, Rand, and Jimmy analyze the location, opening challenge, prospect's chances and comparison to recent seasons, some of the recent shortcomings of the show, and end with a draft of the 16 pairs.  Before signing off we tangent off the rails chatting about Fyre Festival, Dynamite Hack, and The Office.

After talking about the reunion, Zak, Shanley, Lauren, Nutsa, Shamoy/Marie, and ALLLLLLL the tea that got spilled at the reunion, we interview Sam and Cali, in person!  Skip ahead to 39:00 to hear us talk about their reasons for going on the show, some behind the scene scoops and hookups, play a few fun games, and hear what their lasting memory of the show will be.

We will be doing one last wrap-up episode on the season during the next two weeks, so stay tuned.  Thanks so much for listening this entire season, its been such a blast and we wouldn't do it without you!!
