We start this week's episode immediately on an AIM name tangent that goes until 12:58. After that, we discuss Big T taking a big L, the return of swimming challenges with all the usual hijinks (but no goddamn rats), Josh looking for a new enemy, and Aneesa getting that skull.

Finally, we include a snippet of this week's Podfathers episode where we talked to Cory about being a reality star on both The Challenge and Teen Mom, having a baby during a pandemic, being a dad with some of his worst moments caught on camera, and of course beating Cons in an arm wrestling match.

A big flashback episode for anybody that went to college in the early-mid 2000s as we had foam pits and dumb drunk injuries. The Alliance relives some of their glory days while also trying to figure out what Nelson's endgame was on a night that changed EVERYTHING. A double elimination night.

Hurricane Nany showed up, Nelson got caught eating chess pieces again, the bunker is causing mental chaos, and Zach was back playing games with Jenna's heart. There may have been only drama and an elimination this episode but The Challenge keeps trucking like a certain someone that showed up big time when it mattered tonight.

The Challenge veered off its typical formula, but we got some drama with a guy truly jumping in his own girl's DMs with her not knowing, ex-boyfriend warfare, TJ coming in fast and furious, and some great throwback tunes. We don't know if we will get on track next episode but the preview for the rest of the season has us excited
