We're winding down to the finale with the final 5 teams. We get a shocking last challenge with trivia and everything. That's trivia twice in a season! The final elimination of the season is curdled milk and cookies. We finally see the final 4 on their way to the finale. Next week is our last episode of the season, don't miss it!

We're getting near the end of this season, but we're still bringing people back from Redemption for their last, final, no-nonsense chance at ONE MILLION DOLLARS! After 2 eliminations to see who comes back from Redemption, some teams are sent home and others move on to roll boulders up a hill in an "elimination challenge". We still haven't quite worked out why or how that's different than a purge but we make our best guess. Another team is sent home. We go over some iTunes reviews and voicemails,...

Lots of switching between the Main House and Redemption House this week, and even with a Purge challenge and elimination we don't see anyone go home. An elimination gets all the players frustrated, a nomination is hard to predict with the power vote and numbers that are close and could go either way. With just 2 episodes until the final, we hope to see them pick up the pace soon. Let's send some people home and get to the final!

Our longest show in Challenged history! Big drama this episode with Bananas pushing things a little too far and Devin paying the consequences. Flat pasta leads to a confrontation you wouldn't believe. It's TJ's favorite challenge… TRIVIA! And we spend far too long going over voicemails from all sorts of celebrity fans of Challenged.

We get two elimination competitions in this episode! But one of them is for the Redemption House and we learn that the Redemption House is still a thing! Lots of past relationship drama and name calling but we do get to see some people punch some walls so that's okay.

It was supposed to be a quick episode, but it didn't work out that way I guess. Alliances are picking sides as the teams dwindle in size. Cara and Marie have to fight their way out of a time deficit in the challenge, then fight for their place in the various alliances. We keep forgetting about the late comers Cory and Devin. Where are we placing our bets for the ultimate final winner of this show? With only a few weeks to go and a Redemption House still to settle, there may be too many question ...

In a house divided, which alliances will survive? Zach and Amanda especially are torn between different alliances and it really makes their game pretty difficult. Another team is being pulled in two directions to sway the game. We get mercenaries, broken noses, and a game-changing tie breaker. Lots of game drama and very little relationship drama. The podcast is torn on if that makes this episode better or worse. We also review some voicemails left to us from the cast. Become a supporter of this...

We finally get a full rotation of drama, eliminations, nominations, and a challenge. It's a little out of order but that's ok. We try to solve the world's problems and equality between Hunter and Ashley, and hey, it's never ok to try to take out people's families if you're feeling wronged. The Challengers prove themselves to be idiots in this week's challenge, but we already knew all that. Next week, Mercenaries are back and maybe Wolfie will drink a little less. #wolfieperm.

Drama drama everywhere. This episode draws some lines in the sand between Challengers we like and Challengers we can barely tolerate. The eating challenge ends in a predictable way, and a pair end up in Redemption to make amends. That goes about as well as you'd expect it to go in a reality show fueled by booze and anger. Back in the main house, we see other fights, more drama and more people who we've decided to hate. No nominations, no voting and of course no eliminations this episode. C'mon M...

*ch ch* REDEMPTION HOUSE. This week is all about the Redemption House and the Apocalypse that actually sends people home for once! CT tries his best to stay in the game, but maybe not as hard as Derrick tries. At this stage in the game, I guess you have to give it your best shot to stay in. They're battling for a million bucks after all. *ch ch* MAIN HOUSE. No real elimination from the main house so it's a bit laid back, but we end the episode with an eating challenge which is our favorite. Lots...

It's guy's night, so grab your whiskey and cowboy hat and leave the women at home. We're super efficient as we recap this episode but still cover a lot of ground. A nomination, a desperate Banana, a crazy elimination and a dramatic re-enactment of Paulie's tweets that will hopefully make you hate him more than you already do. Also, how about a little back story on that Semester at Sea sweatshirt this episode? C'mon MTV, you can do better. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker....

Eight episodes in and I have a very important question: Will anyone ever be sent home? The mercenaries play for a spot in the house, but let's be honest… they're getting into the game either way because if they lose, it's Redemption House time. We see Kyle slutting it up, drama at a winery, drama in a bus, drama at home, and a salad bowl with lasers shooting out of it. Shane has a strategy in the rugby game, but will it work and is it worth it? Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spr...

We're not thrilled about the pace of this season, but we'll keep bringing you the latest 'cause we love you. Too much drama up in here, too many relationships to follow, and too many people throwing hissy fits. But it's ok.

It's a shorter episode tonight due to an oncoming illness, but at least we have NyQuil is if beer isn't on the menu. Of course we cover Paulie and the silly fight, Brad's reaction to potential infidelity, and the process to get back into the house after you're in Redemption. Four episodes in and we're still learning how the game works and very few have been sent home. Brace yourselves for a long season everyone. We're just getting warmed up.
