Show Notes

A brand new season (and franchise) of the Challenge is upon us with the premiere of The Challenge USA! New cast, new format, new place to watch, but same great TJ, same great Challenge games, and same great Challenge recap podcast (says the host of that podcast). A lot to cover with a premiere episode of a brand new version of the show, I get to it all using the following topics:

Cliffnotes recap of everything that happened in episode 1 (05:16).

Who the show catered to more - Challenge fans or CBS fans - and how I felt about it (08:56).

First impressions of the cast including five people I loved and five people I maybe didn't love (16:06).

TJ's performance, the format, the daily and the elimination round (36:16).

Awards for Best Quote, Best Moment, and Episode MVP (47:41).

Some predictions for the season moving forward (56:10).
