#147 Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit with Tiffany Mitchell

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged with your Challenge Fandom Podcast hosts Rick and Corrina. We sat down with Tiffany Mitchell from Big Brother 23, and The Challenge USA seasons 1 and 2 to talk all things life and reality TV. We kick off the episode by talking with Tiffany about where she grew up, what her job was before reality TV, how she got into phlebotomy, owning her own business and eventually how she came to find Big Brother. She walks us through the full story of how The Cookout was created, what her original plans were walking into the season and how long it was between getting off Big Brother to going onto The Challenge USA season 1. We discuss Xavier's blowback on The Challenge USA 1 with having so many players from Big Brother 23 on the cast, why she stepped back from socializing on her first season of The Challenge, what it was like being done dirty by people she trusted and even a funny story about a cast member who missed their flight to start filming and still somehow ended up on the cast! We also ask her which host she thinks is best, whether or not it was easy coming back for redemption, how she changed her preparation style before season 2 and were the vets on USA 2 truly a surprise to the CBS players? Lastly we discuss her thoughts on MTV Challengers and CBS Challengers mixing on each other's networks, which vets she made friends with that she didn't think she would, what was cut from the Dusty blow up, suffering with Imposter Syndrome, her confrontation with Josh Martinez, MT Rushmore for Big Brother and The Challenge and of course, what advice she has for all those who love her. All this and more now on The Challenge Fandom Podcast! We hope you all enjoy listening to this interview as much as we enjoyed doing it. Merry Christmas Fandom!
