#89 Challengers Unplugged: Beyond The Edit with James Wallington

Hey Fandom! Welcome back for another episode of Challengers Unplugged. This week your hosts Rick, Corrina and Tony sit down with Amazing Race 32 winner and Challenge USA contestant, James Wallington. We had such a great time getting to know James! He takes us on a journey through his younger life and being a Reality TV fan, how he got started watching reality TV and what his first favorite show was. We dive deep into his time leading up to his casting on Amazing Race including going over the many credits he has for America's Next Top Model, Friends With Benefits, the now gone TV show called Capture and more. Finally we breakdown his time on The Amazing Race, winning and getting engaged at the same time, travel advice, LGBTQIA+ acceptance in other countries, having an alliance on Amazing Race, getting the call for The Challenge USA, competing through with such a small team of Amazing Racers and then watching his friends endure that horrific final. James was so open and easy to talk to, it felt like catching up with an old friend and we honestly cannot wait to have James back on the podcast! Wishing James and Will a Happy Anniversary and all the happiness the world can offer.  If you're not already, make sure you follow James on your favorite social media platform, check out his season of Amazing Race if you haven't yet and consider him for your next Cameo!  James IG: https://www.instagram.com/whereswallington/ James Twitter: https://twitter.com/JamesWallington James Cameo: https://www.cameo.com/jameswallington?qid=1670568995 James on Challenge Mania (Apple): https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/ep-301-james-wallington/id1204429149?i=1000574700609 James On Challenge Mania (Spotify): https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Amn5QmgaZyTuUxQwsWnsB?si=-33SS99HRHONuLgTAHXOAA TJ Lavin Fans Charity Project website: https://thechallengefandom.wixsite.com/the-challenge-fandom/shop Challenge Fandom Podcast IG: https://www.instagram.com/challengefandompodcast/ Challenge Fandom Podcast Twitter: https://twitter.com/Challenge_Fan_ Challenge Fandom Podcast FB Page: https://www.facebook.com/thechallengefandompodcast Challenge Trash Talk FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/challengetrashtalk TJ Lavin Fans Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/tjlavinfans Derrick Kosinski Fans FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/derrickkosinskifans Lovely Ladies of The Challenge FB Fan Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/lovelyladiesofmtvthechallenge --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/thechallengefandom/support
