#154 The Challenge 39 EP17 Roundtable Recap: Feel the Bern... We Were This Close To Greatness

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your hosts Rick, Corrina and Alexis of The Challenge Fandom Podcast. This week we are here to breakdown everything from MTV's The Challenge season 39 "Battle for a New Champion" episode 17 "Feel The Bern" and we have a very special guest joining us - Pierre from The Zach Nichols Podcast and GOHT Media. Joining us following a very successful dual interview with Nurys Mateo and Horacio Gutierrez, Pierre helps us break down this episode from start to finish and provides a ton of great points and discussion topics along the way. We kick it off by discussing Olivia's apology to Nurys, how Nurys is able to game better than probably anyone else on this season, whether or not private vs public elimination would have changed Nurys' goals going back into the house and how did everyone feel about this daily challenge? We discuss how we feel about Michele being purged and whether or not she deserved to go to this final, is Moriah a good social game player or did she just get lucky, why it's good to have people with bad integrity on the show, how we feel about Berna winning this final daily challenge, why Berna's refusal to be part of an all girls final was a mistake in more ways than one and is social floating an acceptable game style? (0:00 - 1:11:11) In part 2 we break down the house party, Nurys' ability to be cold as ice, whether or not Jay was ever truly going to save Nurys, Colleen's Game-of-Thrones-season-8-Daenerys-Targaryen move and can friendship and game play be kept separate? We break down Nurys confronting Colleen, why villians are so important to this show, TJ calling Jay out and would James have even fit inside that ice bucket in the private conquest elimination? Finally we discuss whether or not we ever thought Nurys had a chance of losing this elimination, discuss whether or not we think there will be champion mercenaries in the chaos portion of the final, predict whether it will be teams, partners or individual for the final, debate MVP's, lines of the night and so much more! All this and more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast and don't forget to go subscribe to The Zach Nichols Podcast patreon and check out the Nurys and Horacio dual 2.5 hour interview now available!
