Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Roundtable Recap with your hosts Rick, Corrina, Tony and Katie of The Challenge Fandom Podcast. This week we have a very special guest, Melinda, joining us to break everything down from MTV's The Challenge Season 39 "Battle for a New Champion" episode 16 "Family Knows Best. We kick off the episode with a quick introduction to our guest Melinda including how she became a fan of The Challenge and who her MT Rushmore is. Then we begin the recap at 8:25 discussing whether or not Kyland realizes the threat level of his own best friend, why this isn't an all woman's final, Kyland's epic prank on the house, his argument with Berna and our thoughts on what was revealed to us about Berna's relationship with her mother. We also break down the... daily? Or at least what was shown as a daily, debate whether this is a competition or reality show and was Jay really considering choosing Emanuel over Nurys in the school-yard selection process? Plus we discuss some things we learned from watching Nurys live on IG Wednesday shortly following the episode airing (8:25 - 1:03:03). In part 2 we break down Moriah giving Nurys the tea in the club, why Berna probably had the best plan overall for that side of the house, debate how many alliances are truly in the house and how can Jay blame anyone for the stalemate except himself?! We also debate whether or not shortened seasons could make for more interesting gameplay, what the biggest issue with this season is and finally, we break down the entire nomination ceremony including Olivia's double betrayal, James' betrayal and Berna's move that would have been way more epic had Olivia made it for Horacio or Nurys. Finally we give Kyland his flowers for sleeping in his uniform, praise Nurys for the way she handled everything with Olivia, debate whether or not Horacio and Kyland threw the elimination to Nurys, rank Nurys' win on the greatest moments of all time list, MVP's and Lines of the Night plus we take picks on the top 7 finalists we think will make it through next episode and debate whether or not we like TJ making discussion at nominations. All this and more now available on The Challenge Fandom Podcast! Special thanks to our guest Melinda for joining us to break down this wild episode!
