The Challenge Fandom Podcast

Welcome back Fandom for another round of exit interview for CBS's new reality competition series, The Challenge USA. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony sit down with the most recently eliminated pair, Shan and Xavier, and discuss the ins and outs of their algorithm set partnership, what it was like doing an infamous Challenge fan favorite daily 'Trivia', the politics surrounding their nomination for elimination and our thoughts about the whole thing (per usual). While we weren't necessarily happy to be talking to Shan and Xavier (because we wanted them in the game longer), we had such a great time with them and hope to expand on the vibe and stories as we get deeper into the season. Thank you all for your continued support, downloads, plays, reviews, messages and love.  If you're not following Shan and Xavier on social media, check the links below for easy access and give them some love! They're truly great people and we hope to see them on reality competition TV again soon!  Shan IG: https://www.instagram.com/shantelmsmith/ Shan Cameo: https://www.cameo.com/shantelmsmith?qid=1659045528 Xavier IG: https://www.instagram.com/xaviereprather/ Xavier Twitter: https://twitter.com/xaviereprather Xavier Cameo: https://www.cameo.com/xaviereprather?qid=1659045528 Challenge Fandom Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/challengefandompodcast/ Challenge Fandom Podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/Challenge_Fan_ Challenge Fandom Podcast FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/thechallengefandompodcast Challenge Fandom FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thechallengefandom Challenge Trash Talk FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengetrashtalk CT - The Challenge FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ctthechallenge TJ Lavin Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tjlavinfans+ Derrick Kosinski Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/derrickkosinskifans Cara Maria Sorbello Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caramariasorbellofans

We also cover our MVPs, updates on our team Fantasy Draft and our plans with our new release schedule to hopefully make it easier for you all to listen to the recap before the next episode comes out.

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged with your hosts Rick and Corrina Hayes. This week we bring you an interview not often done… Josh Martinez. From childhood life, getting on (and winning) Big Brother, then moving onto MTVs The Challenge, Josh takes us on an adventure through his life and how he got to where he is today. Fans and cast alike have gone back and forth with how they feel about Josh on the shows but one thing has remained true, everyone agrees he is an incredibly loyal friend and genuine guy in real life. We can now attest to that. Josh was open, honest and real with us, which we appreciated beyond measure. We truly hope you all take the time to listen to Josh and what he has to say about the fans, cancel culture, online bullying and everything reality TV as we unplug him from those pesky TV edits we are all so used to.   Make sure you download the episode and follow Josh on social media for tons of adventures, delicious food and some of the coolest friendships you’ll ever find! Also, make sure you check out our IG, Twitter and FB groups for lots of interviews, recaps, games, fantasy drafts, hypothetical seasons/eliminations and tons more!  Josh IG: https://www.instagram.com/josh_martinez_/ Josh Twitter: https://twitter.com/JOSHMBB19 Josh Cameo: https://www.cameo.com/joshmartinez Challenge Fandom Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/challengefandompodcast/ Challenge Fandom Podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/Challenge_Fan_ Challenge Fandom Podcast FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/thechallengefandompodcast Challenge Fandom FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thechallengefandom Challenge Trash Talk FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengetrashtalk CT - The Challenge FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ctthechallenge TJ Lavin Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tjlavinfans+ Derrick Kosinski Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/derrickkosinskifans Cara Maria Sorbello Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caramariasorbellofans

Welcome back Fandom for another episode of Exit Interviews with your hosts Rick, Tony and Corrina! This week, sadly and happily, we got to chat it up with James and Tasha who were the most recently eliminated competitors from CBS's new reality competition show The Challenge USA. James (originally from Amazing Race) and Tasha (originally from Survivor) were such a joy to watch on TV this season. It was a shame to see them go so soon but definitely a blessing getting to meet and talk with them about their experience on a format like The Challenge vs their original shows. We also talk about what they think was their ultimate demise in the game, what they would change (if anything) and plans for the future! Tasha and Tony even have a special moment right at the end! We loved meeting and connecting with these two and we hope to bring you all more of them soon!  If you're not following James and Tasha on IG you're definitely missing out! Click their links below and keep up with all things James and Tasha and make sure you tune back in next week to hear from next week's eliminated Challengers from CBS's The Challenge USA.  James IG: https://www.instagram.com/whereswallington/ James Twitter: https://twitter.com/JamesWallington Tasha IG: https://www.instagram.com/missfoxytasha/ Tasha Twitter: https://twitter.com/missfoxytasha CBSTV IG: https://www.instagram.com/cbstv/ Challenge Fandom Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/challengefandompodcast/ Challenge Fandom Podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/Challenge_Fan_ Challenge Fandom Podcast FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/thechallengefandompodcast Challenge Fandom FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thechallengefandom Challenge Trash Talk FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengetrashtalk CT - The Challenge FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ctthechallenge TJ Lavin Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tjlavinfans+ Derrick Kosinski Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/derrickkosinskifans Cara Maria Sorbello Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caramariasorbellofans

Welcome Fandom, to a new segment of our podcast. Recently we were granted the ability to do exit interviews for the new Challenge USA premiering on CBS and streaming on Paramount+. While we were unable to meet the deadlines for the first week, we were so excited to be part of this! These interviews will be short and definitely bitter sweet as we talk to the eliminated competitors about their time on the show, what they think happened and anything else the fandom may want to know! This week, we were joined by none other than Tiffany Mitchell from Big Brother and Cashel Barnett from Love Island after their heartbreaking loss in elimination again James Wallington and Cayla Platt from Amazing Race in episode two. Listen in as we talk to Tiff and Cashel about their time on the show, how they felt about the circumstances that were surrounding their elimination. We also chime in some of our own thoughts before and after... you know, the usual.  We really hope you all come to love these segments! If you have any feedback, we would love to hear it! Thank you for your continued support in all we do!  Challenge Fandom Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/challengefandompodcast/ Challenge Fandom Podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/Challenge_Fan_ Challenge Fandom Podcast FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/thechallengefandompodcast Challenge Fandom FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thechallengefandom Challenge Trash Talk FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengetrashtalk CT - The Challenge FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/ctthechallenge TJ Lavin Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tjlavinfans+ Derrick Kosinski Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/derrickkosinskifans Cara Maria Sorbello Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/caramariasorbellofans

Welcome back Fandom! This week we have a VERY special episode for you! With the premier of the new CBS show The Challenge USA, we have decided to start branching into other shows that filter into MTV's The Challenge as well as The Challenge USA (airing on CBS) and help you all get to know these competitors on a more personal and unedited level. This week your hosts Rick and Corrina are joined by the son of legendary boxer Smokin' Joe Frazier, huge Challenge fanatic, Big Brother 23 Cookout alliance member and runner up of Big Brother 23, Derek Frazier! Derek sits down with us to break down his childhood, what it was like training with his father, how he got on reality TV, and where he wants to go from here. We dive deep into his old episode of MTV Made and why it is one of his personal least favorite TV appearances, what his reasonings were for certain game moves and we break into his fandom for The Challenge! Derek was such a joy to have on our podcast and spend some time with. He gave us raw, he gave us real, he gave us unedited and there was nothing more we could have asked from Derek. We hope you all enjoy this first episode of Big Brother Unplugged as much as we enjoyed it!  If you're not following Derek on social media, do it now! Also, make sure you go check out his podcast called 'The Regular Degular Show' in which him and his best friend are an absolute riot and always give such a great show!
