#121 Trash Talk Roundtable_MT Rushmore - The Pillars with The Challenge Historian

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Josh. This week we have a very special topic so we had to bring a very special guest to help us break it all down and we could think of no one better for this topic than The Challenge Historian, Jacob Hollabaugh. We start off by discussing some important Challenge topics such as the advancement of The Challenge channel on Pluto TV, how the show would be different if they hadn't stopped doing live audiences, our ideas for how production could actually do a live airing season, what we hope to see as far as cast rotation with the recent show expansion and even break down which Challengers started the trend of making this show a career and trust us, it's not who you think (0:00 - 25:25). Next we break into the episode by discussing our format, specifications that helped us make our lists, and begin breaking down the most influential male Challengers who majorly impacted the show, gameplay and/or fans. We discuss a variety of players including people like Chris Tamburello, Alton Williams, Brad Fiorenza, Derrick Kosinski, Darrell Taylor, Syrus Yarborough, Ace Amerson, Dan Setzler, Eric Nies, Mark Long, Timmy Beggy, Miz Mizanin, Theo Von, Dan Renzi and more (25:30 - 2:00:00). Then we finish up the episode by analyzing the most impactful female Challengers from the early seasons where we discuss the likes of Jodi Weatherton, Katie Cooley, Sarah Greyson, Holly Shand, Jullie Stoffer, Susie Meister, Ayanna Mackins, Aneesa Ferriera, Tina Bridges, Rachel Robinson, Veronica Portillo, Coral Smith and many more (2:00:00 - END). We had such an AMAZING time taking a trip down the MTV Real World VS Road Rules: The Challenge memory lane and highlighting some of the most influential and impactful players that made the game we all love today what it is. We hope you all enjoy this episode as much as we enjoyed making it.
