#108 Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit with Cory Wharton

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another epic episode of Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony go beyond the edit with none other than MTV's The Real World, The Challenge and Teen Mom OG Legend, Cory Wharton. We start off the episode by talking to Cory about how Maya is doing post open heart surgery as well as check in on Nelson's status and talk about how Cory's visit to see Nelson went. Then we break into his early life such as growing up in Grand Rapids, being a Michigan Wolverine fan, going to games with his grandmother, being a multi-sport athlete, going to a D2 University for football and eventually choosing the next path of his life. Cory tells us why he chose to move to LA, what piqued his interest in being a reality star, what his casting process was like, how he feels looking back on his Real World season and how different it was dealing with a pregnancy announcement in that environment VS now that he's older. He also takes us on a ride through his first Challenge season offer, why he chose Mitch as his partner for Bloodlines, where he feels he failed as a Challenger in that final, his game evolution between seasons, TYB vs The GOATS on Dirty 30, Pasta Gate and so much more! Plus, Cory breaks down his MT Rushmore, his chosen team of 4, the truth to why he's been gone so long, what it was like beating Darrell on Double Agents and his thoughts on the fan theories that the Final Reckoning mercenary invasion elimination was rigged for him and Devin! Lastly, Cory tells us why he does it for his kids, talks about his upcoming movie that he starred in, talks about what his favorite reality show to watch these days is and sends a very sweet message to all his fans. All of this plus more is ready for you.... just hit play.
