Hurricanes, Hot Peppers, Hot Dates, and a Circle

The Final Challenge has begun on The Challenge Double Agents. But how did a hurricane change what the original plans were? We're discussing that, CT & Amber's early dominance, and Leroy calling Fessy what everyone was thinking. And rumor has it that the cast of the next season of The Challenge has begun their quarantine.

The OGs take on a classic challenge on The Challenge All Stars as the political game starts to get into full swing. And it appears that some old rivalries will never die.

We're also discussing the 1st four episodes of the new season of The Circle. We share our thoughts on the new cast, their gameplay, and who we think will win it all. But what kind of advantage will the Inner Circle bring?

And the Temptation Island cast heads off on their Final Overnight Dates. We discussing all the drama, the kisses (FINALLY!), and make our predictions on the decisions each cast member will make.

Skydiving, Puzzles, and Genius Editing

Sky diving without a parachute is a once in a lifetime experience.  Luckily, the cast of The Challenge: Double Agents all had parachutes as they jumped out of a plane from 15,000 feet in the air. We're talking all about the heartache moments, the 80s dance party, and try to figure out why Fessy would try to pick a fight with CT.

And there was no "Adult Cuddling" on Temptation Island this week... at least not on camera. But the residents in the Guys' Villa starting to call Kendal out about his actions. And we're still trying to figure out what Thomas did that has Chelsea so upset.

A Tectonic Threesome

This week's episode of The Challenge: Double Agents was full of surprises. An underdog team pulls a surprise win in a swimming challenge in freezing cold water. And Cory takes down a Challenge Legend to claim a Gold Skull. We're talking all about the events of the week, what's to come, and why the Final is farther away than we think

The Temptation Island episode this week featured loads of drama as the 1st singles are sent home, which sparks a bit of an argument in the Girls' Villa. We discuss whether or not Chelsea is a hypocrite, and why her double standard may convince Thomas to pursue something more with Sophia. And that doesn't even include the "Adult Cuddling" that goes on between Kendal, Alexcys, and Nickole.

Plus, the first trailer for The Challenge: All Stars drops. We react to it and discuss our early expectations for the upcoming Paramount Plus series.

The Word "Fake" Gets Thrown Around a lot

It was a shorter than usual episode of The Challenge: Double Agents, but there was still a lot to talk about. We're discussing the escape room style challenge that this week presented as well as Fessy's decision to throw in the hopes of dropping Aneesa. But is Nany the partner he really wants as the final draws near? We also predict what potential twist may hit the game with only two players without a Gold Skull.

As predicted, Kendal was the first to cheat on Temptation Island, but that isn't even the most shocking part of the episode. We're discussing the revelations about Kendal and Erica's relationship and the drama that went down in the Girls' Villa as the "fake" word is thrown around a lot.

Plus, JC and Tina give their 1st impressions on Marriage or Mortgage, the new series on Netflix.

A Trivia Challenge Before Temptation Begins

A trivia challenge and an intense elimination wrap up the 1st half of The Challenge: Double Agents. We're discussing why we liked this version of a trivia challenge and why everyone is not trying to get into an elimination if it means a chance at a million dollars. We also discuss Theresa's Challenge retirement and, with this being the halfway point, who we think will make it to the final challenge.

And the new season of Temptation Island is less than a week away. We share our final thoughts on how soon we expect someone to cheat... and what constitutes cheating in this scenario.

Plus, JC discusses the 3rd anniversary of his diagnosis with Crohn's Disease.
