#130 Trash Talk Roundtable_The Challenge USA2 EP6&7 Recap: Give Me Liberty Or Give Me A Good Looking Underdog

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable with your OG Hosts Rick, Corrina and Josh. This week we take it back in time to when we first started and break down this double episode series of The Challenge USA season 2 in the only way we know how: by making fun of it all! We kick off with a little ted-talk rant by Rick, discuss how we feel about this season's string of odd episode titles and break down the random blow up between Dusty and Tiffany. We also discuss Wes calling home, the trivia daily challenge plus what we didn't really enjoy about it. Next we break into Wes's political campaign, Tori and Bananas conceding to the rookies on their team during nominations, Cassidy telling Wes he needs a taste of his own medicine, Wes breaking down with Bananas and Dusty at his side and why we think Wes is so blind to what's actually happening politically in the house. Finally we dive into the votes and hopper choice, the varying elimination strategies, fishy workings by production and what we think really happened during Wes and Dusty's elimination (0:00 - 41:43). After our AD break (and our fumble into giggles as a team), we break into episode 7 by discussing yet another terribly titled episode, Wes's out of character speech for fairness in the game, Wes and Cassidy calling a ceasefire on each other, what we think of Wes and Michaela's relationship plus why is she so upset with him?! Then we break into yet another horribly executed daily challenge and discuss why we think this daily was oddly placed in mid season and why was Michele in charge of yet another puzzle for team Red Flag?! After that we break down Tiffany's mental crack, our thoughts on Michaela, Josh and Fessy's Big Brother plan, Tyler accepting being a pawn without any fight back and why the heck are men targeting strong females in the game?! We also discuss an overconfident Bananas, Alyssa S being willing to make it a girl's day in order to save Tyler, Michaela confronting Josh, Desi and Chanelle catching onto Michele's fishy political game, the Drunk Uncles Bananas and Wes and how awkward was the middle school scene at the bar? Lastly we break down the elimination votes, the hopper pick and why we love Tiffany so much! Plus, Tiffany's speech to the men on the cast, why we think TJ was attempting to pump up the crowd into cheering during this elimination, and finally, the twist we've all been expecting all season: the cast is moving into individual format so we discuss how we think this could effect things going forward and make predictions for how the daily winners and nominations/voting will carry on moving forward (41:43 - END). We hope you all enjoy this fun throwback to our original host team for our last double recap of this season! Make sure you tune in next week for the first episode of the season's twist where we will have Alex Brizard joining us to breakdown the first half of the season!
