#133 Trash Talk RoundTable Challenge USA2 EP10 Recap: A Less Perfect Union - The Wes Retirement Party

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Trash Talk Roundtable with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Cory! This week we are here to break down The Challenge USA EP10 "A Less Perfect Union". We start off by welcoming back Cory after his long break from the podcast, discuss what it would be like doing Big Brother or Survivor, we discuss Jacob (The Challenge Historian) and Tony's new podcast segment where they will be covering Survivor, the cast of Traitors plus our thoughts on the coming season and last but certainly not least, Cory gives us all a BIG SURPRISE!!! (0:00 - 14:00). Then we break into the episode with our 30,000 foot view of the episode, Death Taxes and Bananas releasing their episode early, and the Survivor girls meeting with Chris. We debate on how Chris might survive, the foreshadowing of Josh and Wes both wanting to make it to the final and why is Wes more terrifying to these cast members than Bananas, Cory or Faysal? Next we discuss the daily and break down our favorite dirty moves made by TJ himself, discuss our thoughts on Chanelle's overall performance, Michaela overcoming her fears to win the daily, Tori cheering on Michaela after losing to her, whether or not we believe rumors that Desi gave the win to Michaela, and what's up with Wes's terrible gameplay these last few seasons (14:00 - 59:00). After the break, we reconvening to discuss Michaela considering putting Tori up as a target, what would happen if Tori did get put up as the main nomination, when we think the Survivor girls are going to turn on each other, Michaela getting gameplay advice from Faysal, why Faysal would have been okay with targeting Tori, and what if Chris pulls another Survivor?! We close out the show discussing Josh's blindside of Wes, why Cassidy is refusing to stray from the Survivor girls, how in the world TJ is lucky enough to pull exactly one man and one woman from the Hopper, why we were disappointed with some of the strategy of the elimination, whether or not Josh was right in being honest with Wes on the spot, Cassidy calling out the "strong girls alliance" and of course, do we think Wes is really retiring this time?
