Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Katie! This week we sat down together to test out a new recording platform while we discuss The Challenge season 39 Battle For A New Champion episode 8 "Struggling To Hold It Together". We kick off the episode talking about old school episode titles that used to spoil the ending of the episode, Amazon Prime spoiling this episode, divisions on the USA alliance and is Zara truly one of the most threatening women for a final? We also discuss Big T's call with Kyle and whether or not we think Kyle would actually be protecting Big T, why did Corey say what he said to Melissa, why are there so many CT - Knot So Fast references and was Jay being disrespectful towards CT in his confessionals? We also discuss why there was no face PPE, whether or not we think Jay could conceivably win a final, is Horacio foreshadowing Kyland going home, Moriah's code of silence, our thoughts on Emanuel baiting Kyland with an agreement, Rick's sleeper pick of the season and of course Melissa VS Ravyn in the club (0:00 - 43:13). After the break, we break down the nomination ceremony including why Asaf called Melissa out for her blow up, how we are feeling about Kyland after his hypocritical nominations speech, what was the point in renaming Pole Wrestle, 90's fashion coming back with a slap, why we don't agree with the general fandom's feelings about Kaycee and what we feel was Melissa's highest level of disrespect. Finally, we debate whether or not we think Kaycee gave every round her all, who we think would have won if Big T had gone against Melissa, Line of the Night, MVP's, which Mercenary is next, will TJ be throwing any wrenches into the situation and how do we truly feel about Kaycee giving Big T half of the $10,000 prize money she won. All this and more now on The Challenge Fandom Podcast! We hope you all enjoy this episode and are able to push past our audio issues! We promise to be back on our game next week!
