#135 Trash Talk Roundtable_The Challenge USA2 E12 Recap: Revenge Amongst The Ruins... Is This a Steven Seagull Movie?

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challenge Trash Talk Roundtable with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony! We are back this week to break down the most recent episode of The Challenge USA 2 EP 12 "Revenge Amongst The Ruins". We kick off the episode by discussing our new recording equipment and programs, reviewing how Tony's first couple of Survivor 45 recap recordings with The Challenge Historian went, what the real reason is that we stopped doing Survivor recaps, what truly is grinding Rick's gears, and just how messy can Michele get?! (0:00 - 13:08). Then we break into the episode and debate a variety of topics such as: Why didn't Michele lie and could she have gotten away with it, why did Chris go along with Michaela's plan to vote Tori, would Cassidy have a chance against the women left in a physical elimination, was Tori Deal justified in her confrontation of Desi and Michaela, whether or not we think Chanelle and Desi should have come clean the way they did, is Michaela really having a perfect rookie season, will Josh make it to his first final this season, was it betrayal what Michaela did to Bananas in the daily challenge, was Chris smart to stop at five pieces and try to regroup, and lastly, what did we think of this style of puzzle? (13:05 - 50:42). For the last segment of the recap we break down things like Michele confronting Michaela and who truly won this argument, whether or not Michaela was wrong for not being accountable for her part in Tori's name being thrown around, would Michele have been better off just voting for Tori, is Bananas getting too old and why is Desi set on trying to beat Tori in the final? Lastly we break down why we think Chris ultimately chose Josh over Faysal, what we think of Cory's assessment of the nominations, whether or not Cassidy has a real chance to win this final, our thoughts on making it a whole season without going into an elimination, whether or not we think Cassidy is playing with the right mindset in this game, how dangerous Imposter Syndrome truly is, the ridiculous elimination with absolutely no strategy and what we would have done differently, why we think the eliminations this season have mainly been non-TV friendly, who we want to see in the Hall Brawl elimination next episode, our MVPs and a fun show where a well known Challenge and Survivor winner will feature!
