The Challenge Fandom Podcast and its hosts Rick, Corrina, Josh, and Tony are back with another breakdown of hottest topics amongst MTV's The Challenge fanbase. This week, since we are in the off-season of The Challenge, we have decided to break down one of the most talked-about topics in the fandom, the best vets to never win a final. We go into depth on stats, how we personally feel, how we worked to remove our biases and explore where we may rank them on a 1 to 5 list. In the end, we average it all out and come up with a top 5 list for men and a top 5 list for women of the best vet challengers to play the game but never win a final but... probably should have.  Follow our links below and let us know what you think. You can also submit other topics you might want to hear broken down and discussed! Also, let us know if we missed your favorite vet in this!  IG: https://www.instagram.com/challengefandompodcast/ FB: https://www.facebook.com/thechallengefandompodcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/Challenge_Fan_ Challenge Trash Talk Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3302186983339033 The Challenge Fandom Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/thechallengefandom

We truly can't even call this an interview because it didn't feel like that at all! So we hope you enjoy this chat that felt more like catching up with a long-lost friend. We cover everything from his start on TV (no, it wasn't Real World Hawaii) to getting into movies, producing, music, and circling back to MTV. We cover everything from favorite players, thoughts on how MTV has handled certain situations, returning to the flagship show, future plans, comedy tours, meeting idols, reaching goals and so much more. This was truly one of the most fun discussions we've had to date.
